About 950 miles but I'll try to enjoy the trip. Can't say I'm looking forward to it though.

Just curious, just by the laws of supply and demand why would a dealership offer a big discount on a vehicle that is supposedly already oversubscribed? And isn’t Ford making the allocations on how many vehicles each dealership will receive?

Just doesn’t seem to make sense for a dealership to go through a year of losing money due to Covid in 2020 and then in 2021 unnecessarily discount a hot vehicle that’s likely to fly off the lot anyway.
I don't know but they seem to be doing just that. I don't really care so long as the deal happens. I'm certain they'll do fine.

Between 900 and 1450 miles. Flying into Bay Area and driving back to eastern Washington via Hwy 1 and the Columbia river gorge. In the end it will not be cheaper but my trip will be free. And the principle of giving my business to a better dealer is worth it.

About 4 hours from Pittsburgh to Stephens auto in West Virginia. Up until a couple days ago I had my reservation with the place a couple miles away but changed to Stephens to take advantage of 1000 below invoice. Plus it will be fun driving back. Might even stay the night in Charleston make a little trip out of it.

989 miles one way, fly out and drive back. Thankfully my brother is an hour from Grainger so I’ll spend a few days there which will give me time to learn the bronco before driving 14 hours.

I have been pondering this for awhile. Granger secured over 1,000 reservations. If they see a way to make $300 a vehicle then they made $300,000. I'm guessing it's closer to 1300 so $390,000. I am not sure what their volume might have been if not for the deal but maybe 100 reservations? Using the $390,000 figure then they would need to make $3900 per vehicle or basically MSRP. They obviously have ran the numbers. The dealer invoice pricing plays a part with holdback figures. Maybe making more on trades, financing, warranties, etc. making my $300 amount low. The advertising alone on this site is worth????

Launch deals are few and far between so many are headed out of state to get a fair deal on the new stallion.

Direct map route, how far is your journey from dealership to home? No stretching the road trip, don't go Seattle to Indy with a quick side trip to Vegas.

I'm headed to Iowa for a 877 mile trip home. Slightly under 14 hours for a Bronco.
Its not the Destination its the Journey back in my Badland Bronco!!

1113 miles from Prescott AZ to Granger. Gotta bunch of airline miles that are just rotting in my account. I’ll either fish my way back or hunt my way back depending on pickup date. Of course this could be 2021 or 2022 as I have two reservations-July 14 and Oct for 2022 can’t decide if I can wait for a white top and non-black interior. Seeing one this weekend in PHX may help me make up my mind!
