So honest question

[Grooticus]

At this point I think we are all a bit down about how this is rolling out. I’m not looking to point fingers or complain about this or that, there are plenty of threads for that. What I’m wondering is what could Ford do to ease our suffering? What plausible or reasonable offering of gratitude could they make towards making things “right” that wouldn’t get them flamed for trying?
They have tried a couple of hundred thousand Ford points, they threw in free headliners and they reluctantly added the connectors for the hard top. What could be next?

My 1st thought would be X-Plan for all pre 3/2021 orders. Some manufacturers do free oil changes or maintenance for a bit which wouldn’t be terrible either.

*I’m not saying they will do anything, I’m also not saying they have to do anything. I’m only asking if there would be something they could do to dissolve some the the ill will.

Send alcohol instead of posters and stickers - We aren’t children.

Realistically I would take them saying something like this

Either of these ideas would work, I think. They would have to pay dealers to to do either, make up profit lost to X plan or for maintenance.

As far as something that won't get them flamed on the forum...good luck.

Suffering? Nobody is being forced to buy a Bronco and last I checked having the opportunity to buy an overpriced toy wasn't a life or death situation. Honest answer.

One step ahead of ya.

Give free soft.

Set and meet date for mic for all orders.

Option to opt for mod. Also have a set date and cost, discount for customers that are before March cutoff and scared shitless of mic

I really hope you’re wrong about the Xplan cause I’m about ready to sell my stocks

The headliners were just go cover up the shitty workmanship from webasto. The headliners are shitty and shed anyways.

I’m going to go with ZERO. We’ll get nothing

This was one of my first thoughts as well, forgot to add it to the list.

Your positive, reasonable answer makes me sick.

not sure Ford owes us anything, but I am feeling bad about how I have treated my dealer. The longer this goes on the more I think Ford is to blame than their dealers. That being said I have had some legit issues with both. It's a free market take your money elsewhere if you think they owe you something, but they are blowing up their brand reputation with a lot of people who otherwise would have been very loyal to them. Might need to sell the stock.
