Cancelled my reservations today! FORD, are you listening now?

[ExJPR]

A cancellation Haiku
Haiku (a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world)

So I took poetic license and focused on the man made world instead.

Bronco, You had me.
You Torx screwed the pooch big time.
Had you just listened.

Been a fun ride all. Thanks to a great community! I shan't be posting anymore...except maybe to show off my 2012 JP with the upcoming lift, new 35's and new wheels. Since I already have the lockers, disco, etc with my Rubi, I can save approx 34K dollars by making this decision. Amazing how far that will go in/toward retirement. I am posting the cancellation pics to assure any doubting Thomas's that I WAS SERIOUS about this purchase. Too bad ford didn't really want my business based on their decisions about the base model.

What is it about the base model that you don't like?

As far as putting money towards retirement, I totally sympathize! I may actually have to work an extra year or two if I make this purchase. I'm getting too close. lol

You’re right, great community tons of great people Nothing but respect for someone who has been here for a while and no doubt has already forgotten more than I know about the Bronco.

Best wishes for you and your JK project.

Okay.

Bye.

I'm giving Ford more than three days to figure this all out before I get dramatic.

What didn't you see that you needed to? What was the key missing feature? V8? Styling? Price? I'm very curious...

Not to be rude, but if the Bronco was something you really wanted or were serious about buying I think you’re doing this a little prematurely. At least wait until the order guides come out to see if more of what you want is even an option in the trims you want. Like @LemonShark said, this is a little... dramatic.

A JK, or did jeep announce something new this week? Either way, you're out $200, why not stick around for another 2 months to let things settle before jumping ship?

The reasoning for cancellation is in one of the screenshots...
Bad pre-order experirnce
No manual trans with Sasquatch
No option for rubberized floor & marine grade seating on Base model

Eh, refundable $200 worth of deposits being canceled months before final specs are determined/published doesn't show much seriousness at all.

 

[NotApplicable]

Either way, you're out $200

Reservations are fully refundable.

Like I told Crispy, a JK lift is pretty straight forward, except the top front shocks nuts are a PITA.

Happy trails!

It’s not an airport, you don’t need to announce your departure for attention. ??‍

What’s the saying?

“This isn’t an airport, you don’t have to announce your departure.”

Beat you to it. Literally by seconds ?

The 7sp man without the Sasquatch I’m assuming.
