My hope/optimism have been confirmed. I just received my production schedule date from Ford. Production schedule is week of 9/20 and VIN assignment. This is in comparison to Feb or later in 22.
Told you. According to that thread there are tons of week 2 reservations now getting pulled (july 20-30, 2020). There are even a handful of September and October 2020 reservations now. I feel much better about my decision to wait on my reservation until 2021 now. My lease ends June 30th 2022 so I tried timing this thing perfectly. I put my reservation in May 1, 2021 to hopefully have my BL by June 30th next year. But not too early or I leave money on the table. My last straw will be switching to soft top around March if I get nervous.
Have you sat in leather also? I have leather spec'd now but think I'll have no choice to move to MGV for the washout floors for my lifestyle. I just hope they aren't too bad compared to leather.Was riding past Newberg Ford and spotted this in the window. Had to stop. HAD TO! It's their demo but it's already sold so no driving. Badlands, no Squatch, 2.3L, MGV, Mid. They are asking over MSRP for their orders. I told them I paid under from Damerow and the sales dude just looked perplexed. "Why would they do that?" I don't know, maybe because selling a couple Broncos over MSRP isn't as valuable as keeping your customers coming back?
I have sat in both and found the MGV more comfortable and soft . Gresham Ford has a mannequin Badlands with MGV FYI
How about adjustability of manual compared to power seats? There’s also the question of the non adjustable headrests in MGV that is a hot topic
Has it ever been determined if the headrest adjustability is a trim level feature or not?
They called my wife in to test drive that one the day after they got it in. Hers was on a rail car at the time. I really wish she would have got the samsquatch on hers. Darn it.
So I had some time to kill and I dropped by Landmark Ford. They just happened to have a Wildtrak demo unit.
I was asked to wait until they could find a salesperson before crawling around it. They don't have a lot of staff and very little inventory.
They apparently got it a while ago. I was told 6 mos. or 4k miles before they can sell it. I'm not sure they will sell it then as they probably won't get another demo for at least a year
This is my first time seeing a Sasquatch in person. At the preview this spring they didn't have any Squatches. Lordy it's big. The tires are massive. You have to climb into it. I love it! Whereas the non-Squatch model just made me say meh, this thing is a beast.
I was honest and told the salesman I had an order at Damerow so I didn't ask for a drive (although I'm sure they don't mind putting some miles on it). Plus I had my son with me and wasn't about to pop a kids seat on that leather.
A side note is that the demo Wildtraks with soft tops should have the hard top hook ups (which this one did).
I have not heard if Damerow got their demos yet.
The Sasquatch is quite impressive.They called my wife in to test drive that one the day after they got it in. Hers was on a rail car at the time. I really wish she would have got the samsquatch on hers. Darn it.
Nope, they are quite silent.
I think most if not all dealers won't want to share that.
