First Edition Sadness Thread

[jlhill16]

I learned yesterday that even though I reserved my FE within minutes of the reservation banks opening I will not be getting the email until at least June but more likely July. My dealership has quite a few allocated vehicles including 4 FE's and somehow I am the last FE.

Sad face emoji as I probably won't have my bronco in my driveway until at least September. Excuse me while I go cry, again.

Join the club. All FE were reserved early, but they are being allocated separately and built throughout the MY21. Most of us will be waiting a bit.

I was told that the "First Edition" was a package and not a place in line. My retort was why call it "First" if it's not! LOL

First means First year of the Bronco return, not first built. I tried warning everyone last year it would play out like this. Sorry you missed that!

But First Editions are not the only Bronco's being built in 21. So all the folks that have received schedule dates are also "First Editions" by that definition.

You and pretty much everyone else. I've been following bronco news daily since 2017 and I ended up deferring my 7/13 reservation for a my22 because of the lack of love manuals are getting in 2021 (amongst other gripes). I haven't had a road legal car of my own since July of 2020. Waiting two years to buy a car because I need to save that money for a bronco down payment has not been easy.

No, think of it as First Year Edition, as in a special package to celebrate the first model year of the return of Bronco. Supposedly it combines all the best aspects of each trim level into one ultimate package. Next year it will be replaced by Heritage edition. Expect a new special edition each year.

Yup. We got royally screwed. Everyone says first doesn't mean first in line and to stop complaining, but ignores that we all have reservations within the first what, 3 hours max? So we should be getting them earlier than most regardless.

Instead they are spreading them out over the entire model year, so many of us will end up being among the LAST to get our rigs. It's a steamy load of B.S.

For all us FE brothers.

I get it I'm just salty. Congrats on reserving in the first 10 minutes to pay 63k for a vehicle that you won't get to drive until damn close to 2022. LOL

Exactly this! "Pay the premium, then wait"

So I guess everyone who’s sad in this thread ordered Navy Pier? Because if you ordered black interior, the expectation was clearly set that your FE wouldn’t be “first” in any way…

Also a failure to only offer one ugly interior..........LOL

I deferred one of my FE reservations and should hopefully turn it into a MY22 Heritage Edition. It should be built in 1966.
