Hammock swag gift thread

[GravyTrain]

I don't really understand all the jokes and hate thrown at Ford for providing a gift to us while we wait. Would you rather have nothing? They've explained the issue with the MIC top. Your truck is not going to magically appear any sooner. Why not just be happy and thankful to have a pretty cool hammock? Anyway, I'm going to take my hammock out as soon as all the wild fire smoke clears out here

So you have a Bronco sitting in the purgatory dirt lot?

You mean you've never received an email from Ford at all? This must be a glitch because the vast majority of folks on this forum have received emails from Ford along this journey.

I am dead serious, I have not received any updates or any emails. I have a VIN number, my Bronco is built, and I have paid for it. The only way I have gotten any information has been through the kindness of some forum members who were kind enough to provide some information. That's it - nothing from Ford.

I have registered on Ford.com, I have the Ford Pass app, and I have tried to get information from Ford on my vehicle only to be lied to. @Ford Motor Company, has been tagged over and over by me with no response. They simply have not said a word to me.

I am not the only one, I have helped a few other people get a minimum of information on their Broncos as well. They are in the same boat as me.


* - One caveat, my Ford account did update with the fact that my Bronco is now eligible for WiFi, but Ford's website updated without any intentional intervention or contact with me.

While I appreciate their effort (and recognize that they are also extremely frustrated and disappointed with this whole fiasco), in all honesty, I would rather they save the $ spent on the design, development, creation, and shipping of these swag items and provide an equivalent amount in FordPass points. In fact, given the markup on Ford accessories that can be purchased with FordPass points, for the the money they spent on this swag they could probably provide 30-50% more FordPass points, which I could use to get something I really want.

No, it hasn't been built yet and won't until MY22. It's really not that hard to accept. Covid and many other factors led to a defective MIC top. I can wait a few more months. Just isn't that big of a deal. Sounds like for you its a big deal.

I'm not saying it's wrong or frustrating, but acting like a brat on here and complaining about a car that will "never be built" is childish.

So now it's being "a brat" and "acting childish" to complain about a vehicle that is built, paid for, and not being delivered?

Do you work for @Ford Motor Company?

I think that at a minimum, they could acknowledge my existence and send me an email. I don't think that I am setting the bar too high or being unreasonable for asking for that.

A Bronco cooler would be epic.

Lmao, the brat bit wasn't directed at you, my dude. If you're is built and all that then I agree with you to an extent. But that other dude was wiggin' over his never being built, like Ford was doing it to spite him.

No worries. Thanks!

I posted this in the reservation thread but I'm going to repost it here to give our "It's Always Sunny on Dirt Mountain" crew a reality check on this Bronco trinkets not trucks situation.

"The Greatest Trick Ford ever pulled was convincing the world it could build cars and trucks then <poof> Ford launched the 2021 Bronco"

I’ve not yet received my banana hammock but I’ll keep my eyes open.

 

[Razorback]

Anybody showing that the 22lb package got shipped today?

 

[LowerSlowerDelaware]

And while we're at it. As a non-FE, 2D Bronco with VIN assigned to the "October Surprise" Build. When October turns to November then December and Ford ships our MY21 Vin Broncos with the first of the 22 Broncos..........

Do you think Ford will send us any really great Bronco Swag for Christmas, Chanukah or Kwanzaa?

I mean, so far if Ford's "Ifs and Buts" were Nuts and Candy then we would all be having a Merry Christmas.

Has anyone not received any posters or this package? The only thing I ever received was the bronco stickers a while back. My bronco has been built and is one of the ones waiting to get a MIC top.

 

[Mango&Moose]

I received the poster. No hammock though, I'd really like one but don't have a FedEx account to see if anything is inbound my way.

Why are people paying for vehicles they haven't taken delivery of yet?

 

[MorgansRun]

It was supposed to have been shipped yesterday, but no update on the FedEx app. Still says Pending. Not surprised.
