@Zach@Granger did y’all have any previews today? Fingers crossed for some promising news!

See what happens with scheduling this week. I’d call Granger and ask directly what they think about your situation. Heck, Zach has been really transparent, I’d request to talk to him directly if he has a couple minutes to chat. Get it straight from the source. Then make your final decision on what to do. Even DM him on the forum. He’s been really good about messaging back.I’m top 12 at Granger with a 4 Door Wildtrack hardtop.
Kinda tempted to move to 2 door badlands or 4 door badlands softie.
Ugh.
What to do… what to do
Excellent point. And I would change my position to this. But to be clear, I still disagree with the other poster who thinks the delay is to wait to see what reservation holders do with removing constraints so to help us (the customer). That is never the reason for 'no scheduling this week'.Ford just spent two weeks scheduling just about ever manual transmission they could, and Zach reported that 100% of Granger's 7MT orders had been scheduled.
Ford just recalled just about every 10-speed auto built for the last 3 months (Bronco, Mustang, Exploder, F-150).
I suspect the delay in scheduling is actually tied to the "loose screw in the tranny" issue, and QC wanting to make sure that the new transmissions are good rather than extend a recall or issue a stop ship for more product.
Now, FoMoCo screwing over Granger is simply par for the course at this point.
Really good point, I'm also not a fan of the SAS wheel/tire package. 2 Door Badlands without SAS saves about $6600 when you factor in the modification offer. I was already on the fence about SAS on the 2 door Badlands and feel it is overpriced with ugly wheels. For $6600 I can make it my own/into something that to me is >>> SAS. Factoring in the increased odds of actually getting built, it felt like a no brainer. But I guess some people don't view the truck as a blank canvas on which to build and never plan to change a single thing from the factory?But honestly I was never a fan of the wheel/tire package with SAS. So if I am being "forced" to make a change, I will try to make lemonade out of it and actually have the wheels/tires that I want albeit not day 1. Assuming (and its a big assumption) that I get the PP/PO/other incentives, I think I will actually be happier in the end.
Dropping Sas from badlands for $2500 makes a lot of sense bc the guts are already there. All Sasquatch is on badlands is the wheels and tires (and flares, brake light, etc). On other trims we’re also dropping axle, suspension, front locker, etc. Maybe if they sweetened the deal for black Diamond it would move me off the fence.Really good point, I'm also not a fan of the SAS wheel/tire package. 2 Door Badlands without SAS saves about $6600 when you factor in the modification offer.

Fully agree with this. I'm glad SAS is offered on all trims and is a great deal on non-BL trims.Dropping Sas from badlands for $2500 makes a lot of sense bc the guts are already there.

I agree they aren’t my favorite and will plan on powder coating the sas rings black.
Yeah, Samantha says I'm previewing so maybe I stumbled into the sweet spot here with my BL order factoring in price protection, the $2500 modification offer, and Grangetober pricing. I wouldn't have switched off SAS if I didn't have a BL build and like you would probably have powder coated the rings and called it a day.When they first announced the $2500 I was planning on moving to BL, High but then they clarified you couldn’t move trims and get the $2500
Badlands with PP, Granger discount, an extra $2500 and a “guarantee” of being built in 2023 is definitely a sweet spot.Yeah, Samantha says I'm previewing so maybe I stumbled into the sweet spot here with my BL order factoring in price protection, the $2500 modification offer, and Grangetober pricing.

You CAN switch trims and get the $2500!When they first announced the $2500 I was planning on moving to BL, High but then they clarified you couldn’t move trims and get the $2500
Only if your order is a WT. Non-WT's have to drop all constraints or cancel to get the $2500.You CAN switch trims and get the $2500!
No, if you have Base, BB, BD, OB or BL with any constraints you can switch to any of the other trims (sans WT) without constraints and get the $2500.Only if your order is a WT. Non-WT's have to drop all constraints or cancel to get the $2500.
