that is one ugly rig, LOL. Sorry, I'd never buy that thing. Ugly ass, and wtf, are those ridiculous black plastic fender flares shaped like?
I usually like Subarus just fine, but this one just cracks me up. YMMV~~

Seeing as my local dealer, who has space for 100 new vehicles in the heart of truck country currently has 7 new vehicles, I'd say no, they aren't cranking out Rangers and F-150s just fine.

My organization is finishing two major group housing remodels. The construction company couldn't get shower curtains and had to send the paint guy a couple hours down the road to get paint.

The world is screwed up. It's gonna be that way for a while.

It‘s funny people see this in the news everyday and come up with the conclusion “it’s just fine”.

That's it, I'M OUT! Switching to a dog-loving Subaru. The massive ground clearance and this marketing statement:

"LED Cargo Lamp
Every aspect of the Outback Wilderness is designed for off-the-grid adventure, right down to the LED cargo lamp in the rear gate, which lets you find your gear after sundown."

I have no idea what these are but I think I heard one of my daughters friends talking about one. Hard to make out the exact wording with 15 year olds talking while snap chatting.

15 year old vs guy with photo of his imaginary Bronco, lol.

9.5” is now greater than 11.6”? Then where the heck does Rubicon’s 10.5” fit in in your alternate reality?

You can really tell who had parents who didn’t spank. Grow up, go to work. You’ll get your truck when it’s ready. If you need it sooner, switch to a BB, soft top, 2.3 auto. Or, if you can’t handle it, maybe just cancel. Screaming at the sky like you were promised ice cream is meaningless and kind of pathetic from adults. You’re disappointed, we get it. Who isn’t? Quit the sniveling and move on.

My friend Angie has a term for it; "Man inches"

Who got freebies? I didn't get any freebies. Hell, i didn't even get the email.

We all got (will get) some Ford Pass points. People who ordered dual tops got a crap ton (about $1,000 worth) of Ford Pass points. Also, people who got worked over by their dealers converting their orders got some cool models. The hard top sound-deadening headliner became free (was $495) for hardtop people who want it. I think there was something else, too.

Even just the basic Ford Pass points we all got are worth more than $100.

Subaru trying to capture Aztek lovers whose vehicles are probably dying in droves about now.

Oh k, well "got" and "will get" are two different things. As of right now i have got nothing. Not even so much as an email. Trying to stay positive but Ford is making it difficult.

I think people keep forgetting Covid ACTUALLY HAPPENED and has effected the supply chain pretty hard. Could things have been done a bit smoother? Sure. I think people need to step back, chill out and get a reality check.

The one complaint I have about this is that the launch happened during COVID. This wasn’t completely unforeseen- people were talking about supply chain issues from COVID long before July. They simply could have hedged the language in their communications rather than continuing to overpromise and under deliver. I get that the constraints are largely out of their control, but then don’t wait until May 28 to tell us that you can’t tell us anything in May. Why did they promise to tell everyone in May in the first place? They set the expectations.
