Ha ha, I said something like that and someone said they were sick of "people" picking on low post count members. I owned up to my statement and he tried to deny he was referring to me when I was the only one saying it.Perfectly understandable. I admire your patience. God only knows how you held on for as long as you did!
Always hate seeing the forum lose another old-timer.
I hate to even weigh in on this but here goes nothing….
I have a feeling if he was still in charge, there wouldn't be any Bronco issues because there wouldn't be a Bronco. Back then, nearly all of Ford's lineup was pretty stale. Explorer should have been updated way sooner and was rushed when it finally was updated and a big mess resulted.
Actually, I think people would have been perfectly happy if Ford had kept Ford's promised schedule more than zero times. Oh yeah, they also made these scheduling promises when it was full on obvious that the supply chain was wrecked, they knew the tops were bad and hid it, changed the rules of the game with allocations, Priority Orders, VIP orders, and the ever popular condescending emails blaming everyone else and informing us Ford was the real victim because their choices are costing them money.
Sorry, Covid ate my homework only works so long.
poor folk don’t put half down on a car
@MaverickMan said half the down payment, not half down.poor folk don’t put half down on a car
im waiting too. Might be 2025 before we see a Basemansquatch!
Of course, folks would be happy if Ford had been able to keep to the stated (never promised) schedule. Reasonable people are also able to understand that plans do not always hold up to real world events, resulting in changes to the plans and the schedule. Unreasonable people expect perfection and assume that stated plans are promises, rather than simply plans.
Good lord I think I just saw a verbal reflection of myself.
According to the internet, he was at Ford until May 22, 2017, so he was there when the Bronco was green lighted... at least according to the timeline as I understand it.
You are 100% correct. Last May my dishwasher died, I went to my local appliance store and I asked for one that matched the brand and finish of my other kitchen appliances. I was told they’re sold out and it could be 4th of July or Christmas when they get more and any store that gives a definitive timeline is full of shit. So I purchased a comparable brand in the same finish and that’s when I decided purchasing a brand new model in the height of a global pandemic probably isn’t a good idea, so I waited a year and change to order mine.
Any date would be fictitious at this point. I'm not a first day reservation., July 15th. So that means many are ahead of me. Being that 2.7 is a constraint, towing is a constraint, Sasquatch is a constraint, Lux is a constraint July is a reasonable estimate. Most certainly will not be before April.
I will give it a try as I tend to favor wheated bourbons.
