I have officially given up on Twin Cities dealers and just completed transferring my reservation to @Granger Ford :) Still will not be converting to an order before I sit in one however and at this point I will probably end up waiting until full details of MY22 are announced anyway.

I did nearly change over to Mach E but it just wasn't roomy enough for me. I could have accepted the leg room but my shoulder was hitting the b-pillar.
I'm actually surprised by how bad these dealers come off. They are really lazy up here.

If anyone is interested I have created a Minnesota Bronco group "MNBroncos" on Facebook. I have been using forums for 15 odd years now but find it is easier to connect with locals when there is a dedicated outlet aside from a national forum. Plus I'm not about to buy any domain for a forum šŸ˜‚
I searched on Facebook and didnā€™t find your group. Is it active??

Wow! I already received a voice mail from Granger to confirm they received my reservation transfer! This is a good sign :)

I just converted my Black Diamond order this afternoon at IG Ford. I'm neither impressed nor dissatisfied with them so far. I did seriously consider Granger but I'll need a vehicle by November and I know that wouldn't happen with Granger so I decided to bite the bullet. In case anyone finds it interesting, this is what my sales guy told me (referencing no actual data) about the ~45 orders they've converted so far:
  • Mostly 4-door (only 2 2-door that he was aware of)
  • "A lot" of Sasquatch (not me)
  • Badlands and Outer Banks were most common (not me)
  • Almost all AT (not me) I was the 2nd MT that he was aware of
  • Mostly mod top (not me)
I have a Sept res date and they told me to plan on MY22, but I'm hoping that my particular build will slide me earlier. We'll see.

Hi all. Been away from the forum for awhile. My Bronco saga continued - still not refunded from Metro Ford. Sales rep ignored me, so went to the GM who was a smug prick about it. I was even contemplating buying a Raptor from them too - now they wonā€™t get any of my business, including service on my Bronco.

Anyway, I not only transferred my FE order to Granger, but it kept my order date of 7/14, which is awesome.

I have been all over the map on color, but I went with red. Dealership said the grays are by far the most popular. I want a fun color so red it is. Fully loaded her out. Iā€™ll report back if I get a delivery date.

Central MN here. Ordered Outer Banks, Cyber Orange, Lux Package, roast/black leather, trailer towing, 2.7L v6. First day res holder so hoping for summer delivery. But depends on parts constraints. Dealer was above board, answers questions and even called to make sure I knew I had to order by 3/19.

Glad to hear it, I'm at 10am and looking forward to finally "trying one on". Dreaming they bring a black diamond 4 door so I can see how the manual seats fit.

Same. I live way closer to North Country but got in to Apple Valley. Hoping they bring an OBX 4 door but not holding my breath. Just glad I get a chance to see and touch one so I can truly put my mind at ease spending $55k on this.

Yea everywhere was booked up, so I'm going to Apple Valley too. Of course the furthest drive for me.

I donā€™t think theyā€™re booked, Iā€™m think those events arenā€™t open yet. I live by big lake, so apple valley is a trek. On a good note itā€™s a Saturday and not Monday like north country.
