Has anyone talked to Ashley? I figure she's getting slammed. She did say previously though that they would send out an email. Nothing here yet.

I haven't heard anything but did forward her my build preemptively. Last year, I know it took them a few days to respond to my build email after the order banks opened.
I got an e-mail from one of the Bronco team members a few hours ago. He sent me a copy of the order guide and price list, and asked me what changes I'd like to make. No mention of the COVP but I did ask.
I still want a 2 door BaseSquatch with V6 but am considering the 2.3 4cyl..... wonder if that will speed up production? I'm a Aug '20 res, was #137 in the Feb list.

At one time I thought that it would. I am a 2DR Basesquatch V-6 Aug 20202 res as well. Thought about the 2.3 switch, but then would see someone post a walk in V-6 build week and then think, I'm not changing.
Nothing wrong with the 2.3 I have the same motor in my 22 Timberline Explorer and it will put you in the seat. But I also know what the 2.7 is capable of. Would like a Godzilla swap but that looks to be aways off. Hell we can't even get the info on what should be simple rack swap to be programmed let along a V-8 swap. The Australian Raptor Ranger V-8 swap took 18 months to program.
I'll stick with the 2.7.

I would think any changes would drop your price protection.

Yeah, I like horsepower! When I rebuilt the 4.0 in my XJ Cherokee I added a stroker crank to make it a 4.6.
. For the Bronco, the few extra mpg of the 4 cyl over the V6 is the present appeal, especially for longer trips as it'll be my primary driver. And if it meant getting a 2023 Bronco vs a 2024 I'd do it, but who knows wth Ford is going to do for current orders. At this point, I may be borderline as to whether I even get a 2023. But I still have the V6 on the update I sent in yesterday.PP is a big deal on my BaseSquatch since it's near a $3k difference since I first ordered in Jan 2021.

PP is a big deal indeed. I asked Ashlie yesterday if I could add the metal bumper and keypad to my order only if PP was retained. Adding the options is not worth it if I lose the PP.Yeah, I like horsepower! When I rebuilt the 4.0 in my XJ Cherokee I added a stroker crank to make it a 4.6.

The 2023 FAQ on price protection:
https://www.ford.com/support/how-to...onco-order-holder-frequently-asked-questions/
It's still not clear..... it says the 'price protection amount may vary' if changes are made.
They don't elaborate on 'may'. Does it or doesn't it???
It sounds like an engine change is acceptable. Dropping Sasquatch (on the Base) is not since it changes the 4x4 system.

You should be good. See the newest FAQs. I added aux switches for this year, it won't affect pp.

Itās an āit dependsā answer as there are different levels of price protection. Hereās what Iāve tracked from others here, and the Ford FAQs, on price protection. If you converted a reservation to an order prior to March 19, 2021 you canāt change body series (Base to Badlands) or go from a 2-door to a 4-door. However, everything else is open to edits. If your first order was after that the restrictions are expanded and you cannot change the 4wd system or equipment package.The 2023 FAQ on price protection:

The Ford FAQs are slightly confusing, but a must read, and I think they will be updating them with 2023 info soon. There are several posts on this topic and RagnarKon has posted a lot about it Here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...otection-flowchart.46571/page-17#post-1593308
These are the updated '23 FAQs. They are more confusing than last years.

No matter how many times I read it, there is no clear answer on changing things. The way it is written will help shady dealers screw people over.

Agreed, their FAQs are clear as mud but it seems the key is the date of order. Based on the following, Iām reading this to mean you have price protection for an equivalent series and door configuration for orders prior to March 11, 2022. However if you made changes to your order after that date, say you updated your order trying for a 2022, you are stuck with with those changes and cannot change it again without losing price protection. If you did not change it, you should be allowed to update everything outside of series and door configuration. If this is wrong, Iām gonna be one pissed off customer.
