For all those who are still listening I will say this for like the 100th time.

Years ago, before the reveal, an e-mail from Ford was posted here that said "The Bronco is coming get a Bronco Specialists so you will have someone informed to help sell the Bronco". So when it got close to reservation time I started calling dealers to see who was on the ball and wanted my Bronco order. Now I live in a BFE area of PA so I called dealers in the bigger cities near me and asked to speak to their Bronco Specialists. They all gave me the answer of " Bronco, what Bronco??" My response was not to argue just say "Thank you very much for your time". So I called my local guy and he said he had not heard of the Bronco yet but I will take care of you if you order one. That was when Ford was to "build as close to reservation order as possible".

Flash forward to now and here I sit empty handed and broken hearted, tried to shit but only farted, (I have to make jokes to keep sane) still Bronco less. Still no build date, still no word on my order that was my dealers first. Even went through an e-mail and DL verification last year, with an e-mail from Ford that said we got you order it is approved and we will build. Still nothing. My dealer got a build for 10/31 of a BL that is their 5th order that was placed just last Oct. AND STILL I HAVE NOTHING!!!!!

STOP SAYING IT IS A GRANGER THING. I AM NOT AT GRANGER. I am still FUCKED for getting a Bronco any time soon.

IT IS A FORD THING because they tried to appease the big dealers crying like little babies because they could not follow directions and realized they might not see a Bronc for quite some time so Ford changed the rules midsteam. ALL THAT DID WAS FUCK US EARLY RES HOLDING FORD BRONCO LOVERS OUT OF OUR DREAM!!!!!!!!


For the record I talked to the guy, face to face, that is the 5th order holder and before he placed his order he called the same dealers I did and they knew about the Bronco now and ALL of them told him the same thing MSRP + ADM. :( That is why he ended up at the same dealer.

FORD created this gigantic debacle, and it is high time the get their shit together, get their heads out their asses, and get it cleaned the FUCK UP.

edit: I forgot to mention..........

Aug 20, 2020 res

Mar 2021 order

Oct 2021 re-order w/ e-mail and DL verified and approved by Ford

Oct 2022 re-re-order

Have not changed ANYTHING on the order only the color because Ford FUCKED me out the AMB I loved so much.
Yep, I feel your pain. It’s humorous to watch all these people who haven’t been around since the beginning try and tell us they know wtf is going on. Hopefully you get yours soon man, that’s ridiculous.

Same thing happened in Colorado. Many of us tried to get dealers to commit to pricing and they would not. Many of our group would have settled for msrp but even then dealers would not commit to anything in writing. This is not the way a company and dealer network should operate. This is not the way a reservation/order system should work.
Agreed that anyone criticizing reservation holders did not start this adventure 2 to 3 years ago. We did everything possible to get our Broncos except pay adm to a local dealer.

Oh for sure. Started with Longmont Ford, wouldn’t commit. Tried talking to multiple other other Ford dealers in Denver, wouldn’t commit. Talked with Albert, RIP good sir, and he was awesome. Ford told me to pick a dealer, I did. People want to blame me and Granger for Ford’s asinine policies, lol okay. Just build the Broncos like you said you would. What’s funny is go to the Maverick, Mustang and F-150 forums and you’ll see THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS! 🤔

You need to get her to test drive a JL. I hate the way the JK drives. I didn't believe my friends that the JL is a far and away better vehicle than the JK until I got to drive my friends 18, with 37s, 3 hours down the highway and around town for a week.

Trust me I've been trying, I really like the Recon package and I know she'd like it but....

Lol…that’s a long running joke in our Bronco thread. The GM of Groove Ford is a jackass and we all got into it with him. 😂 @hemiblas

One of my orders is at Groove so I'm hoping they don't mess with it! They originally lost my order from 10/21 so they gave me a Reservation they had extra, I was a little worried about it but they did a COVP for 23' on it with my name so we'll see.

I see all of OP’s points. Ford changed the game way after everyone had already locked in their dealer. Granger deal or not. I was a day 2 Res ordered as soon as you could order, and got my Bronco 394 days after my Res at a high volume dealer. It’s a failure on Fords part to have this many first month reservations waiting at this point, let alone day 1 reservations. To all those still waiting I hope you get yours soon, and for those looking at other options I don’t blame you.

Now they are just flat out lying.

Lol yeah right. I sent an email to their corporate office and I got a call back. The lady was very nice but she knew less about the situation than i did and all she can do is “watch” our order. Ford has no clue what they’re doing.
