If customers are going to make those sacrifices then they might as well cancel their order and buy from dealers lots now. There are low specs like those for very little if any ADM at all they can purchase now and not wait.
I don't think Ford will kill off the Heritage, the only constraint we have is the Sasquatch package. We're based on the BB trim, mid package is standard and no selection to go any higher plus we don't have a mic top (mod top yes but that's not been mentioned, yet!).
Well, I’m sure that’s true but for those with orders at Chapman, Granger, etc. the goal is/was to not only not pay ADM or MSRP but to get the best price possible and still get what we wanted. Unfortunately, that seems less likely each week through no fault of our own other than believing that Ford and their suppliers could deliver. What silly rabbits we are.
I really don't want to give up my Sasquatch. Anyone know if Ford is producing standard (not dumbed down) Heritage for the dealers?
Let's look at the 2 door.... Capacity is now at 17%. We don't know what the Order Bank is today, but it was 28% back in Sept 21, so lets use that for this example.Explain again the. Because this is what I understood from the post earlier.
This is what was explained to me
What matters is not the percentage but the percentage compared to the order mix. So if an item is 4% constrained, but only 2% of the order mix… the It is effectively not constrained at all… there is enough for everyone who ordered one.
The hard top is an 85% order mix. So if the constraint is 68%, then a lot of hard top
orders are getting ignored (17% of the order mix). The soft top has a 15% order mix and a 38% constraint. Which means there is enough soft tops for everyone who orders them even though it is “more” of a constraint.
So if two door is 17% constrained and 28% mix, using what I was told above 9% would be ignored?
Thanks Tim! We need reliable information and you have been doing a great job in doing that for us.
Exactly.. I’m not sure why anyone would waste their time letting their dealer order a stripped down neutered version of a Bronco then whine about waiting 2 years for it when you can buy one at MSRP before they close tonight. Either do that or pony up a little mark up for a cool one and be done with it but none of this is worth the whining and hoop-jumping
Man I wish hahaha need something in my price range though. Next truck will be a raptor or trx
The one thing that Mitchell kept ignoring was the the MIC top, Sasquatch and Lux availability was all still less that the order percentages that Ford has on hand. Sure they have 60% availability (at the moment). But 86% of the orders have the MIC top selected.
Love your videos!! When you make this future video, I'd appreciate it if you could address people in my situation. On Tuesday my build was selected as one of the specialty builds (BL with opt. wheels). So I have a VIN and supposed build week (Feb. 27). Are we safe from this newest ridiculousness or will we be let down by Ford again? Thanks
Seems as though he took that video he posted about the constraints down from YouTube cause I could have sworn I watch it just yesterday or the day before, but it no longer posted to their page. Wonder the stuff behind this post is the reason they took it down.
No Heritage's have been produced yet, this past week there was talk of Heritage scheduling but mine didn't and I didn't hear about anyone else. If you're asking if dealers will get standard Heritage's then technically it's no since it was only open to reservation holders but you know some dealers probably hijacked some of the unanswered reservations that were supposed to be cancelled and converted them. All the Limited's go straight to dealers.
