Patience has nothing to do with this situation anymore. I could see maybe 6-9 months for trying your patience but over a year is too much. Any sane person can see that to be true.

Iām sure theyāre probably losing money on the actual rodeo, hoping to generate more sales down the road to make it up.Ford won't care. They'll just stop putting them on which will only hurt future buyers.
Well I actually liked Fords and was planning on getting another f-150 after getting my bronco. Now that looks like that is going to take a lot longer thanks to Ford so I wonāt be purchasing anything else from them. Why are you on this site? To troll people and cause problems?And your on this site for???
Because a Bronco is desirable, Ford has difficulties meeting demand. On the other hand, Toyota likely will not have this issue because a Tundra is no more exciting or impressive than a new Silverado.Genuinely curious. Why buy a Ford or Ford Bronco at this point. Sounds like some of you canāt be reeled back in. If I was this upset, Iād cancel my reservation and go buy a ā22 Tundra. Why reward a company youāre so angry with.
I hate the bump steer. I mean it's a NIGHTMARE. The front solid axle is a pain in the back (literally) Since this will be spending 97.54% of the time on the mean streets of Dallas I don't need the hardcore solid axle, but I want to be able to weekend warrior/summer adventure week and still drive something super comfortable. It might be a princess and the pea situation for me specifically, but the bronco is just so much nicer.
Nailed it. Ford has decided it is in their best interest to build commodity available Broncos and put them on dealer lots in order to create revenue. The entire ā allotmentā scheme is an excuse to string along us suckers who actually ordered or reserved. The initial scam to side step the order and reservation list was ā priority ā orders. It was a way to supply buildable optioned loaded Broncos to dealers while bypassing the customer order list. In all my years I have NEVER walked into a Ford dealer and was told I could not place an order because their allotment was used up. They could have ordered 1000 F 150 trucks for the model year, and have 100 on the lot, but they would take and produce my order without question. Ford canāt build the majority of our orders, but they can build restricted base models. So they dream up this bogus allotment scenario to cover their sorry asses. This is one life long Ford owner who is fed up.The decision to pass over reservations for dealer stock at mega stores is very "on purpose".
I'm certain they are very aware of the backlash, it just is not a concern to them. They will still sell..... unless they prove to be a nightmarish owner experience.... to soon to tell on that really.
I am making a suggestion to get back at ford for not listening to us real time buyers/reservation converted to orders.
full disclosure I have already done the bronco roadeo .
I suggest that the ones that haven't done the Roadeo and haven't plucked down some money to do it , to protest and not go to those rodeos .
once they see that the roadeo program is KA-PUT and no one is attending maybe they will listen to us and go back to time stamp and order numbers as they came in to their que.
as I said I already made the roadeo this past September - did not know this CHIT ROLL OUT WAS COMING. and leaving all us behind and rewarding the
dealerships.
maybe this will start an ember/flame under their ass to listen to us / customers that have been waiting and holding the line instead of getting empty promises and posters, hammocks for them to screw us around .
I for one believed in them and sold my Jeep last February and my prized possession class 3 MG , to have enough $$$$ to plunk down on this non existing so called GHOST IN THE WILD. I also paid good money to go to the Roadeo FOR WHAT!!!!!! SO I CAN BE KICKED BACK ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO ( 2door status ) and dealers get some broncos on their lots ????
what say YE ????? pass the word around and lets see if we can rattle some corporate FORD CHIT BRAINS .
Solutions have been offered by the jilted public. Example, sell two doors with soft tops. Allow BD models to option the high package. Put MGV in additional lower based models. These actions take the pressure off the models that were overwhelmingly ordered. Most folks who ordered a BL donāt want the disengaging suspension feature. They want the MGV and the ability to get a high package at least. Same goes for the OBX. Allow MGV and one more wheel tire option and the order percentages would be dispersed more evenly. Customers have altered their orders in order to accommodate Fordās build issues. It is about time Ford did the same for the customer. Ford should react to this unprecedented situation and adapt to fulfill orders. It doesnāt get any more basic then that."Getting back at Ford" should not be our focus here (and besides, it makes one sound like a jilted ex-girlfriend). Boycotting an event that doesn't generate significant revenue is not going to get Ford's attention. Nor is attacking Mike L and company on twitter.
The focus should be providing feed back on the current system and offering attainable solutions to the problem.
Easy to suggest when you've already done it.full disclosure I have already done the bronco roadeo .
