Jumping Ship? - What's Your Plan B Vehicle Purchase?

[Jdc]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new 4Runner has a front locker and can accommodate larger tires. That's the plan B

I’m a MOD Top 2 door Bronco reservation (7/21) so I was already bumped to MY23. Spoke with my small dealer and based on the “new math”, number of reservations there, and number of MY21 Broncos they received I’m now a MY24 Bronco.

Luckily I realized how ugly this was going to be when the MIC 1.0 fiasco and new MOD Top producer info came out.

So I ordered a JEEP JLU Willys to hold me over (6 weeks exactly for sold customer order). I went wheeling with my daughter today. I refuse to miss out on that type of fun due to Ford’s constantly moving goal posts.

Who knew the best JEEP advertising would be Ford’s Bronco rollout.

Still hanging in there for a MY24 Bronco but not giving up the memories.

I bought Ford stock years ago when they announced the return of the Bronco. I figured it would be a hit and I'd make a nice profit.

After I reserved my Bronco, I joked with the family (and Albert at Granger) that Ford would end up paying for my Bronco via their stock. It's about 90% there.....

How ironic is it that my Ford stock will most likely pay for "insert non-Ford vehicle name here" instead?

Nothing magical about Ford stock, compare it to the long term performance of a simple S&P 500 fund.

918% vs 97% over 30 years, you can see which one is the wrong choice.

What did I miss? Why are we planning for delayed delivery again? I can't keep up.

My hypothetical number two would be a 2 door Wrangler Rubicon on 35s and I'd use the savings to throw a solid coil over on it.

I currently drive a Gladiator. Which was supposed to hold me over until I ordered and received a Bronco. Well doubt that will be anytime in the next few years or more. But after driving a soft top demo I got soft top fever. My Gladiator is a hard top and even if I were to find a soft top at a decent price, I have nowhere to store my hard top. Seriously considering ordering a 2022 Willys Wrangler soft top with the Xtreme Recon package.

I would say a F-150 Raptor but those allocations have been tough to come by too it seems.

I read this earlier.. I didn't connect the dots. Busy day. Didn't realize this meant a likely delay for everyone.

I ordered a 22 Jeep Rubicon 392.
I figured it's no small thing to get a V8 in a new Wrangler while I can...especially in crap CA.
No doubt it's expensive, but at least there is some tangible value to it because it won't be long until it's gone and no longer offered.

North7-what are you fixing to get at this point?

Ranger Tremor

It's a hell of a truck. I'm selling one now to make room for the Bronco.

If you can find one at MSRP, you'll love it. I recommend the Lariat package so you at least get the infotainment.

It's a solid off road vehicle. Think of it as an under powered Raptor more than a rock crawler.

 

[BigHoof]

I want a TRX but due to it's limited towing ability, may go with a 2500 Laramie.

 

[North7]

Jumping ship really means, NO FORD. If no Bronco, NO Ford for me since they have proven the consumer is last.

 

[Low Hammer]

Well I do have a close relative thinking about getting rid of his sub 30k mile late model FJ cruiser. Of course those things are so popular now it would cost as much as a Bronco

 

[GreyBronco]

Ill keep driving my Honda element. Almost 197,000 miles and still running smooth. I just cant take it where I want to. If nothing happens by December, its probably a Tundra.
