I've been spending this whole evening on Jeep config sites...I just may.

I’ve been building off road trucks for a good customer/friend for ~5 years now. Several different things - Tundra trd pro on 34’s a couple 4Runners of different generations, a caged k5 blazer on 42’s, etc. he’s had a bunch of different OHV’s

He recently got a JKU and pretty much stopped wheeling everything else.

Ford, why do you have to make it so hard? You are quickly becoming as slimy as the majority of your dealerships are. That's not a good thing to aspire to... but it sure seems you are well on your way.

But why do you have to make it so hard? Life is short. Why don't you just do what you said you would do.... and you said it again, again, and again. You said - from day 1 - that this was going to be about a timestamp. Get an early timestamp - and we'll build Broncos and fulfill orders more or less in the order they were received. Wasn't this your word? Didn't you say it again and again and again? Ironically, you are still saying it. Sadly, it's just not true. But not only is it not true, there's really NO WAY for an ordinary consumer to figure out how to get his/her reservation fulfilled. It's impossible. Seriously. Do you think the majority of Ford dealerships will give straight, accurate, truthful answers to the dozen or more questions we need answers to assess if we should move our order. How many dealers do you think I should call and TRY to have these discussions? How many hoops to you really want us to jump through?

Honestly, Ford, you sicken me. How hard would it be to just do what you said you were going to do? Just fulfill the orders approximately according to the timestamp. That's all we want. All we want is for you to do what your said you would do. I imagine you got pushback from some of your larger/more influential dealers. That's YOUR problem. Deal with it. Wouldn't that push-back have been anticipated? Lowly me.... I would have anticipated it. But, now you've had the WORST possible reaction. You put the consumer in the middle. You've put us in an impossible position. I don't have the time. I don't have the interest. And I sure as heck don't have any confidence that I can get transparent answers to assess how/where I should move my order.

You've lost your minds. Am I wrong? Essentially, the timestamp is meaningless, is it not?? Do you need an example? John Doe got his timestamp on 7/19 and chose to place his order with Granger. Mary Smith got her timestamp on 9/4. Mary places her order with a dealership close to her who convinces her that $5.000 over MSRP is a bargain. So, Ford, who's going to get their Bronco sooner? It's probably going to be Mary, right? The timestamp really doesn't mean a damn thing. What matters MUCH more is a complex formula that we, the lowly consumers have no hope of ever figuring out.

Very, very, very , very disappointed in Ford Corporate. We've come to expect a lot of shenanigan's from your dealerships.... but you are stooping well below

Levine is a tool.

He was obviously having a bad day. How would you like to try to spin this favorably to the remainder of 75% of FMCs market?

Same. I originally planned on a Gladiator until the 6g Bronco was announced. I am back on the Jeep thing.

 

[PSUTE]

Monday, shit's gonna hit the fan. Guarantee that 6G will once again be quoted in the mass media as the source. It ain't over until old lady Ford squalls like a pig...

My grandfather owned a gas station that my father worked in as a young boy. It was what you would picture as a typical small town full-service gas station in rural Iowa. He grew up around the gas station and that is where he learned his blue-collar work-ethic. It is also where he first started to sell used cars at the age of 16. Fast-forward to 1978 he purchased a Dodge store in Granger, Iowa and later in 1987 he purchased a Ford dealership in Dallas Center, Iowa. He then relocated the Ford store to Granger and become what is now Granger Motors & Granger Ford.

Sending a friend your way to take one of those Mojave’s off your hands.

Integrity wins in the end. Proud of you guys.

Galpin said they have 800+ reservations.

@Ford Motor Company how are you setting up your Allocation EXCEPTION for Glapin since they are one of your MEGA Dealers? We all know you will not screw them like you are with Granger since they are most likely on your dealers advisory counsel.

 

[Big Boss]

This kind of honesty and transparency and communication is why all my future ford purchases will be with granger

 

[Atomicdog]

Thank you Zach. I'll reach out this week for a price on a Rubicon, I'm uncertain what I will do about my 2 orders with you. :/

 

[WuNgUn]

Maybe there is hope???

fingers crossed team.

This is what I'm thinking.... 2 or 3 dealers with a metric shit ton of reservations
If they build 60,000 Bronco's in 2022, wouldn't that be enough to fulfil ALL the 3/19 orders?
It may pan out that Granger/Stevens won't get all their 4d WT, for example, before a big city dealer does, but WILL get 'em.
Question becomes, do Granger/Stevens rez holders wait or move...

But what about the small dealer who has 50 reservations but gets 5 allocations? It’s the same math on a smaller scale.

There are around 3000 Ford dealers in North America. If they ALL had 50 reservations but only get 5 trucks, that's only 15,000 deliveries about a month and a half of "real" production....

 

[subshooter]

I'm not buying from you but I love your transparency. Thank you.

Here I sit all broken hearted

For a bronc that’s not departed

Wait 3 more months was what Ford said

By that time I might be dead

The forum folks - they said it well

Welcome to the Bronco hell
