Ford is going to deliver 200,000+ Bronco models in the next 18 months. They have minimal discounting and minimal incentives. That is a pretty good achievement in the auto industry.
Sooo...... the wrangler since 2005.

Did Ford create Covid in their lab? The biggest issue is the fallout from the covid crap. It has hit every major manufacturer on the planet. It is unfortunate timing on Ford's part that their new product launch hit at such a bad time. All fingers should not point to Ford for the delays.
I wouldn’t rule out Ford creating covid.

i am still unclear why the bronco sport was launched so smoothly and the bronco has stalled. But whatev

Yep...when Harvard Business Review makes Bronco into a case study in 5-8 years.....I'm betting that it reads as a massive success story. We shall see....
that's how I see it. Ford managed to reveal and roll out this highly anticipated vehicle, build it and deliver it to customers despite Covid and all that it brought with it world wide. And pretty much on schedule, they said spring delivery and at least one dealer mannequin was delivered in spring if I'm not mistaken. Or a couple days late. And people already know that their Bronco is build and just waiting for transport.

All this during a world wide shut down, plus a fire in a chip factory and Texas shutting down for a couple days because of snow and a roof supplier with bad management and so on. To me that's quite a success.

yes, I'd like to have mine yesterday, yes the delays are annoying, but outside of this forum few will even know what Webasto means - or care.

I think it's quite something they managed to pull off during the last year. Just my 2ct

As of right now, once everyone gets theirs, the koolaid drinkers will just pass it off as covid caused.

however I don’t think we are out of the woods.

once a few dozen citizens get their private Broncos, I wouldn’t be surprised if a fatal design flaw emerges and it’s the suv pinto but worse.

then it might go down as the biggest auto blunder in history.

and wrangler prices will go up 20%
This. If it sucks for whatever reason they are in real trouble.

It's about the money. It's only a f'up if the profit margin doesn't meet expectations. You, the consumer, mean nothing and are not part of the equation; only your dollars matter.

If you're reading this post, you're part of the "in the know" crowd, which is an insignificant slice of the country, percentage wise. You're not just wandering around a Ford dealer lot thinking you might see an actual Bronco - who knows what depressing story those folks are being told.

Ford will sell a ton of Broncos, but I'll bet the 5-year sales curve is much lower than what could'a been.

Before we shoulder ALL the blame on Covid, understand that the Webasto plant was a full year behind starting construction before anyone even heard of rona. There's a reason they say 'success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan'.

Where do you think this cluck up will land on the list of corporate missteps I understand covid but Ford was woefully unprepared for the demand of this vehicle. So like new coke bad? Or red Sox trading Babe Ruth bad?
You mean, how many executives are going to get big promotions out of this? Many.

It will be forgotten by the time the 2024 model is out. Once deliveries officially start, all will be forgiven. This is far from the first car launch thats gone a bit sideways. This happens to Tesla virtually every model and they are now the largest car group in the world.
