Confirmed: Manual + Sasquatch Bronco, October Build & Price!

[pan-y-cerveza]

It says in the press release when they released the manual info that b&p is October now and Mike Levine Confirmed that. Although, I don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth anymore

This is why I say "slight."

I never believed anything he said. I won't fully believe anything until it's on the order sheets. I think everyone here should adopt a similar philosophy. May help with the anxiety around here.

Exactly. I am fine with waiting for b&p, but Ford needs to give out more info instead of sneaking in info into other reveals like they did with the b&p being pushed back. Think people are more pissed off with the lack of info for both the customers and dealers

It's very simple. They (Ford) just don't care. WE will get info when we get it.

If the info we get keeps being awesome news like a manual Sasquatch, they can take as long as they want. This was just about a deal breaker for me, and i had resolved to buy a plain base model 7spd to build my own offroader out of. Ford came through for me, and will now get my money instead of the aftermarket cats. I could not be happier.
Now I just need to sell a couple of motorcycles to pad my down payment.
Anybody want a somewhat rare Moto Guzzi with a Hannigan sidecar? Lol.
Not cheap, but where are you gonna find another one? Lol

Ford needs to put a gag order on this man. By September surely doesn't mean in October. If you can't give us correct information please don't give us any at all, as it only reflects poorly on you and your company.
My theory is Build and Price is ready, but won't be out until the very end of October. That gives reservation holders less time or no time to switch dealers. As most dealers are giving us the same song and dance which is they won't commit to a price until build & price site is up.
BUYERS BEWARE ! If your dealer can't commit to a discount, chances are your not getting a discount.
I suggest having a conversation with your dealership, tell them you'll be immediately switching your reservation if they're not willing to start the negotiation process.
At this stage in the game Ford has been playing games with dates, I truly wouldn't be surprised if they take away the October 31 switching date. I believe I'll be having a sit down with my dealer sooner than later, as it's better to be safe than sorry. I'd love to keep my business local but my hunch is I'll be switching to Stephen's.

Where did patience and understanding go? Things happen, it's called the real world.
Try to enjoy the ride of a new model launch, both ups and downs, or maybe you should wait until you can shop for your Bronco from dealer inventory.

Receiving incorrect information on specific release dates is not a enjoyable ride. Many folks would rather have no information than false information. Alot of dealers won't even discuss price until B&P site comes out. With a deadline of Oct. 31 to switch dealers, it's leaving alot of folks hanging. I believe it would be very simply for Ford to give us exact dates instead of everyone playing the guessing game. Patience and understanding went out the window with the "by September" announcement. It sounds like your a patient person, so maybe you can wait to shop for your Bronco from dealer inventory.

As someone else mentioned here, I wonder if you could ask (or pay a bit extra for) your stock tires and wheels in addition to the Sasquatch package. If delivery is late 2021 I’m going to have to buy wheels and snow tires for this right upon delivery since I don’t want to try mud tires snowy in Vermont.
Also curious if the BD will have a minor discount since it already has a locking rear differential.

Reading this thread tells me that B&P has become B6G's " Airplane on a Treadmill " topic.

* for those not familiar, " Airplane on a Treadmill " caused a massive internet brawl across multiple forums until Mythbusters answered the question.

No shit the BP doesn’t allow you to actually make the order. I wasn’t insinuating that!all I’m saying is buyers will need the Bp for the information on pricing before ordering.. “DUH”

Dude, calm down. The original post I quoted was this:

You're right we don't know. All we can do is guess at this point. But our reservations don't mean anything until they're turned into orders by way of B&P

His post was indicated he thought orders are done via B&P, which is not the case, and that's all I said - that B&P is not the ordering system.

I never once said people weren't wanting B&P to know pricing before ordering.

And for the record, of those wondering where I stand:

Has the question been asked why not a Manual FE?

Because the FE is due out in late Spring/ early Summer, and the Mansquatch won't have jumped through all of the testing and Fed Gov regulatory hoops until Fall, at best ?????

I don’t have one. Just thought I’d ask. That would be a crazy rare beast

It would be as impossible as jumping to lightspeed.

The Fed Gov is a giant regulatory boat anchor on the auto industry these days. Have been since the 1960's.

FE comes with the 2.7tt and there's no manual for that engine
