If I learned anything about this website, it’s that this single Bronco and everything Ford should be praised. Do you know how much work went into producing one of 200K orders? Ford deserves a massive pat on the back, monumental achievement.
Oh you're about to get shit on by a lot of folks....3...2...1...
The Bronco launch has not been the preferred result that Ford had hoped for . . . at least there is light at the end of the tunnel for the MIC issue being corrected.
Oh come on, I expected an immature response! Jk. I’ve never owned a Ford and going by what’s happened here, this will be the only one if it ever even comes. I’m fully aware I can chalk up everything they done to, “doing business.” The issue I have is every decision they’ve made has directly affected me and many other people. I should not be sitting here in December of 2021, 15 months after my reservation for my wife watching people getting vins who reserved after me, especially 2 door orders. Even worse people without reservations getting vins before us. But this is the reality they created and I’m stuck in the middle and frankly if Ford went bankrupt and burned to the ground I would not care. They haven’t shown once they actually appreciate my business. A calendar and a hammock? Is that so I can be comfy staring at the calendar counting the days? Lol. I can see the big picture but at the end of the day, my experience is what I’ll judge them on. It’s been shitty so far.
Well when a guy has a Reservation at the biggest dealer in his town, and its ordered and not built and not scheduled to be built. In October he orders the exact same Bronco that he has reserved at the biggest dealer. He has a build date for the order October of 21, not the one that the order is attached to his reservation.
Really, because I see more of the other side... Ford is garbage, the Bronco is an unreliable piece of junk that nobody can buy anyway because Ford took their firstborn child and then didn't deliver the unreliable piece of garbage, etc etc.
My take is the Broncos at MAP are still having tops replaced, which is why order scheduling went from sane allocation-commodity-res date at dealer process in October, to whacky mostly soft tops in November and December.
Lol that was sarcasm.
I know, it's a raw deal and no one likes it, even Ford. They're trying to appease and balance limited supply of a hot commodity between their primary engine for sales (dealers) and end consumers. Being fair to Ford, they have said for a very long time now that dealer allocation would affect timeliness for vehicle deliveries despite reservation time stamps. Time stamps at the same dealership would fill chronologically with like builds, whereas timestamps from one dealership to another for a similar build may fill wildly different due to the allocations. Not perfect for those of us with early reservations, but that's the nature of the beast when trying to balance the entire drive chain of the launch. Not saying you should be happy with it (I'm not), but there's perspective here that demonstrates Ford is not trying to dis reservation holders. When the supply chain of MIC's and overall production numbers catch up we will all be happy, dealers and end consumers alike.
Yes, but we were many months into the wait when Ford said allocations would come into play. Then we were even more months into when they said they would build stock if they could not build reservations due to constraints. Then over a year into it they Changed the allocation formula, again screwing the reservation holder. All this Ford does have complete control of. As I pointed out the one guy got his order built before his reservation, exact same vehicle. Per Fords stamens for almost a year that should not have happened. That one of many examples.
