Wish I would have known they were doing this because I would have asked about the airbag recall. Maybe I’d finally get a real answer.

"Order your Bronco how you want it."
But really make sure it's a 4 dr Big Bend 2.3 softie with no options other than mid package.

Esteban should have been filing for unemployment last January. Loser.

He convinced me to order the 7MT, so he's not all bad.

I see your five and raise to 6

I sure hope mine hasn't been sitting in the dirt since 7/23 because of a tow package? Really?

Then maybe it's better they don't tell us why.

I was previewed for Thu and have a wildtrak with mod bumper and lux. I did remove hardtop and tow 2 days ago.

they're basically saying "go buy a jeep". Next up: shortage on air for the tires, water for the radiator and warmth for the defroster - all of these things will delay your order

Would love it if they offered some sort of pricing incentives for dropping certain features.

If they guarantee we could get the hard top in 2023-2024 for a decent price... say $2600 or so.... I would drop to soft top in a heartbeat. Instead the hard top will probably cost around $4000+ stand-alone. Or if they offered the Ford accessory hitch and 4-pin wiring harness for $515 with installation instead of having it cost over $700 once you add in the dealer installation cost.

Would be more than happy to work with Ford to help them--and therefore us--out. But difficult to drop these options when you know they'll be MUCH expensive if you buy them after the fact.

Dont do it. I changed my order significantly to dodge these constraints and my Bronco has been "in production" for 96 days. Absolutely no reason I shouldn't have received it by now, but here I am with no clue when in '22 that I'll receive my '21 Bronco. Thanks for the advice @Ford Motor Company

I know we've been talking about commodities shortages for over a year. (MIC, tow, etc.)

But I do wonder if Ford also botched the mix of trims that would be made during the first year of production. For example, the B6G trim mix is +50% BL/WT last I saw and there's no way that's indicative of how they will sell long term. I'd expect BB/BD/OB to be the majority of builds down the road.

I'm thinking there's a chance Ford was flooded with enthusiast reservtions for fully loaded BL's and didn't expect to be moving that many sas packages, 2.7's, and Lux packages when production kicked on.

Lol they’re not going to answer that. That’s why they just cherry pick the same idiotic questions they’ve been answering with vague responses for over a year now.

If the sales team didn't realize that folks who preorder a vehicle sight unseen are going to heavily skew toward enthusiasts who want the high-end features, then they need to go back to business school.

Plus, they had these reservations sitting in their system a year before production ramped up.

I think they foresaw the demand end of things much more clearly than they foresaw the supply issues.

Oh I know, would still have liked to ask. They avoid answering any real questions like the plague.

Well sh*t, looks like my Wildtrak SAS with LUX and TOW ain't coming no time soon...
