Fords price protection????

[havingfunyet]

My opinion of how price protection will work is whatever you have on the books before the change to MY22 are the options you are price protected for. I added a few things recently because I probably will want them when I get a MY22, but if I change my mind I can take them off. I wouldn't expect to be able to add anything after MY22 prices are out and get MY21 prices. Now if they change trim levels and what comes on them that could get messy making sure you have something comparable. This is only my opinion and guesses.

Thanks, I’m aware I can change my order. The bigger question is the implication on price protection.

If you reserved before March 16th you qualify for price protection.

So much clarity.
Thank you, Ford. I think?

I predict it’s going to get very difficult to insure your getting “MY21 protected pricing “ on any changes after MY22 pricing comes out. Once the B&P changes all references to MY 21 prices are going to disappear. Make your changes prior to the B&P changing, or at a minimum build the version you want on B&P and print it out. Just my thoughts.

I'll be curious to see how this works out for my second reservation (7/18) that I haven't converted to an order yet.

MY21 (a-plan) pricing on a MY23 Badlands and sell my current MY21 Badlands at inflated prices I might could walk away with a little extra jingle in my pockets

I’m wondering the same I have a Base with Sasquatch and if I get pushed to 22 I want to drop the 10 speed auto and go with the manual, I hope that will still hold the current pricing

I coded my order as a "99" to wait for MY22 because I want the mansquatch as well. However, the only flaw I see in your logic is "current pricing". Technically, there is no option for mansquatch so no current pricing. Being that mansquatch will be a new option added to MY22, price protection might not be extended to us that want it. Fingers crossed my friend...

Should just be minus the auto
at the time of reservation it was going to be an option and was taken away between reservation and order conversion.

I appreciate all the reply’s everyone! So basically what we’ve determined is....well no one actually knows for sure haha. Ford should definitely specify on what price protection includes. Hopefully they won’t screw us too bad considering all the issues and delays res holders have had.

I might just up my build here in the next couple weeks to hopefully lock my21 pricing in. Thanks again for the input!

One would hope! That's how I've been calculating my final build in the meantime

I predict multi-page long threads of people bitching when the actual definition of "price protection" becomes clear.

With the way things have been going, does anyone really believe Ford will keep their word in any other fashion than "technically true?"

This is how I interpreted it… it’s for *an* equivalent bronco, not *your* equivalent bronco… meaning, if you had reserved/ordered before March 19th, and your MY23 is equipped with only options that were available for the MY21, whether or not you’ve changed it over time, you’d be extended the MY21 price.

If you selected the new green, or chose newly available options, well then that’s not equivalent to what had been available to you.

the green color not being considered “comparable” was speculation on my part… not all colors cost the same, but Ford could very easily say updated colors don’t count against price protection

Wait. What the heck are you saying? I hope you are saying that if a metallic green costs more than the old Race Red, you (we) will have to pay the difference in price. That's totally fine. But it sounds like you're implying that if we order a new color, then the whole comparable Bronco is out the window and we'd have to pay the new higher prices on the entire vehicle. That wouldn't be very fair.

Unless Ford provides actual info on what they really mean it's all guesswork...

I've seen more than a couple reasonable interpretations, and that's not good

no price protection if you haven't turned it into an order by 3-19-21, so you'll get the new prices is my guess.

You didn't read the emails.

I agree that the fair and sensible thing to do would be to pay the difference… colors aren’t like a new upgraded dash or functionality…

….but my point was that technically, if you can’t buy a green bronco now, I wouldn’t assume they would necessarily consider it a “comparable” one…

Until Ford defines what “comparable” means to them, we’re just guessing.

(honestly, they probably haven’t even decided what it’ll mean yet… I’m sure their choice in words was no accident)
