Bronco Build & Price date

[King Bronco]

Amazing how a company as LARGE as Ford can not do B&P on time ..... The vehicle itself is apparently ready but the website is not! go figure that one out .... i guess all that debt is showing its effects even in this area!

My bet is it’s actually the pricing that is still getting completed. That and the 200 plus accessories is going to make this a pretty big B&P tool.

if they haven't figured out the pricing by now then one has to wonder what kind of managers are running the show and as far as the 200 accessories go they can EASILY have an external link put in place.

Hey @Granger Ford you might want to reach back out to Ford and let them know that EXCITEMENT left here a month ago... it's more like ANGER is building

Ford is following a very specific psychology formula to generate equal parts hype : rage : indifference so we end up spending the most money possible

Just saw the B&P October move.

or they were busy listening to this forum and adding the manual to the Sasquatch package and couldn’t release the B&P?

maybe they are still busy adding the white top? 2.7 to the manual? Different color interiors?

no reason for B&P to be release as you can’t order until December anyway. Release it at thanksgiving.?

None of those are reasons to delay it another month.


And my honest opinion is that Ford always intended to release the manual with Sasquatch, they only pretended not to be to hype up the Bronco further since orders can't be placed until Dec.

Eh - they may have not always intended to offer sasquatch with a manual but it certainly was not hard to do so.

The only reason it was not offered up front is because they didn't think they take rate would be high enough to justify it.

From what I understand most wranglers are auto and most of those whom purchase manual choose to do aftermarket upgrades.

Ford likely assumed the same - those buying manual would not want their suspension upgrade and would choose to modify it themselves.

I'd be more inclined to believe it if we found out mechanically what was changed to allow the manual with the Sasquatch package. I'm not talking about what is in the Sasquatch package, I am talking about what did they have to change to make it work together.

They are aware hence the notice to the Ford dealers...

That is why if I do not get it in writing from the mothership I just chalk it up to as rumor...

This is far too level-headed for these forums!!!!

I would say that Levin was wrong on this one...and 376 of the voters were correct with October+

I knew it wouldn't be in September, my vote still says Oct+... but I didn't want to be right. I wouldn't be so mad if Mr. Levine would come out saying he was wrong.

Levine's title is "Communications Manager", but it's become apparent that this only means Chief Twitter mouthpiece. He just throws up Ford marketing material and ambiguous company lines.

Maybe when Levine said "by September" he actually meant "BYE September, hello October"
