Dealer said “ford cannot build my bronco with current trim level”

[Go_Galt]

Accordingly, the definitions contained in the ADA strongly suggest that stuttering is a disability: It may impair one's ability to speak, communicate and work.Jul 1, 2016

As someone who who who who who - as a child I stuttered, it's a tick, not a disability and you need not attack someone for accurately portraying the tableau of this specific call/interaction. I am offended at your public and inappropriate scorning of a wholly reasonable discourse. I said good day, sir!

See

I agree. But I also just assumed that the OP meant more of a hesitation in his voice than a persistent speech impediment, implying a sign of dishonesty, but who knows

this is exactly what I meant. He is not disabled nor am I trying to make any disabled people feel bad. Lost in interpretation, but damn the internet didn’t hesitate to get fired up haha

 

[hoss]

What if he wasn't lying?

So I’m an October 2020 reservation, with a March 2021 Order. 2.3 Black Diamond 2 door ManSasquatch Tow standard package.
Today my dealer called me (stuttering I might add) to say that Ford Motor Company wouldn’t build my car as it was and I needed to upgrade to a new higher trim level. I asked him to send me where it says this, and the communication went quiet.

What kind of s*** is this? This is a hustle, a bait and switch right ? Is ford motor company changing their ordering guide all of a sudden?

I'm surprised with an Oct 2020 reservation they are even talking to you about a 2022 build.

Have you met the internet?

Now THAT's the most sensible comment I've seen in this entire thread!

 

[shieldsy]

My take away with this thread is that the OP hates the disabled and doesn't think they should be employed.



I am willing to bet that I am closer to the truth than the answer the dealer gave the OP about his trim level being unbuildable.

WHY even MENTION a stutter?
Some people are saddled with disabilities in life and succeed in their chosen fields.

I would give the OP the benefit of the doubt that the OP was implying that the stuttering dealer was because the dealer was trying hard to make up a story to tell him, not that he has a disability and the OP is a prick for mentioning it...

I would ask the dealer to make sure your order code is 19 or lower, and if they don't, time for a dealer switcheroo

To me the OP only described the salesman demeanor.
In no way he bashed a handicapped person .
Stop the attacks on him for only a discussion description of a conversation.

For whatever it's worth, I changed my order yesterday specifically because I was taking a look at my order preview and noticed I had picked a automatic base sasquatch instead of the manual. I sent my updated order to Granger, Hunter gave me a quick call to confirm and then submitted the amended order without issue.

I'm also so far down the line there that it doesn't really matter what build I choose for MY22.

That happened to me also. I ordered a 2 dr Sas Base Manual, the dealer ordered it, Ford verified it as an automatic, and we had to change it.

 

[Heffe66413]

Just my guess. They are trying to get yours built but your tow package is a major constraint.

I don't think it's the model.

If that’s the case why wouldn’t the dealer just say that. Dead silence is a warning sign.

I'm 401 days in, and I requested a dealer change exactly 8 weeks ago today. I was told it would take 3-5 days. Here I am 2 months later and still waiting.

I'm in a similar boat as you are, and may actually have a pretty significant auto publication interested in picking up this story since so many aren't. DM me if you'd potentially want to go on record/ share your experiences if this goes forward.
