Ford's idea of loaners is a joke

[CT203]

This was more a poke at people who always complain about Ford. And this dealer group treats me well. I've been going to them for the past 3yrs and have shown I'm willing to pay them to do weird things. Plus I'm pretty sure they're using my truck to figure out how to offer a dealer installed tow package.

Though in all honesty I would have preferred something smaller that fits into my apartment building's garage. IOT get this one in I'd need to put the Fiat and Ducati outside, and we all know how Italian girls like the cold.

You can probably request a different loaner next time, but you might as well see if you have any friends that need a hand moving or want some mulch delivered.

Don't forget to do the RHD mod when you're building your hot hatch!

And put 2 15" subwoofers in the hatch area...because you can

... more features than the Seattle HUMP! Film Festival.

Last time I had something similar I was driving an up armored HWMMV with a iBesk Tec bumper on Brewers.

My confused expression trying to understand what the Seattle HUMP! film festival is, thinking it must be some kind of Porn festival, and how this has anything to do with a vehicle...

And the second sentence - I don't even know what any of that means LOL

It is not a "porn" festival. It's like Sundance but with more physical activity =P. The feature is a play on "Feature Film", and there are several films that show at HUMP!

Don't worry about the second part.

My last loaner (over this past summer) was a Ford Edge with 614 miles on it.

We're a far cry away from some barely running trash bucket being loaned out.

My Dealer has not had a loaner for me the last two times mine was in for recalls and warranty work.

So I drop my Bronco off for first service and to have the OEM hitch mounted (I know, but the truck is already there) and the had the audacity to put me in a 23' F150 XLT 4rd short bed with more features than the Seattle HUMP! Film Festival.

I really can't believe the nerve. Ford has no right to treat me like this when there's a perfectly good 1993 Ford red Aspire 2dr. I can't believe this!

Also for those of you with such rigs, how the fuck do you drive them? Last time I had something similar I was driving an up armored HWMMV with a iBesk Tec bumper on Brewers.

I too have always appreciated dealerships that provide a loaner that is at least equal to or even better than the vehicle I am leaving with them. Some do and some don't (been on both ends).

F150s have looked pretty similar from 04-present though. 04-08 is my favorite style of this century.

IDK, there's just something about the new style that finally clicks for me. I like the way you put that though LOL

There's about 5 generations from last century that I'd put above it. Ford has made a lot of sharp trucks over the years.

These will always be my favorite:

These will always be my favorite:

So much yes, specifically the 56. Sad story, my dad had a really nice tricked out 56 that he had to sell to pay for my sorry ass when I was born. I'd sure like to find him another someday.

mercedes here uses enterprise so I've gotten kias and dodge chargers, its a crap shoot. im family friends with the general manager of their service dept and he says everyone complains but thats what the dealership is willing to offer. im just surprised mercedes canada doesn't require the dealers to use their own brand or just hold them to a higher standard.
the bronco is my first ford and so far they've been pretty good. got a comparable and within a year or two old SUV when i had to bring the bronco in for warranty stuff.
