But still on track to beat the Rivian, Cybertruck, Hummer, who am I missing…You just have not been paying attention, have you? What timeline has Ford met so far?

Completely agree with you. I'd dump my already built Bronco for a 22 if I can keep my original reservation and time stamp. Even if I have to wait until Spring for it. Atleast it will be a NEW build. Not one that's been lot sitting for 6 months.My gripe is that rather than 99 my order and get something to build for SEMA, I settled on a manual Base no Squatch in order to get it sooner. Now it looks I will be getting a MY21 Dirt Mountain Bronco and it will be 22. My first scheduled build date was June 7 and built 7/12 which would have put it in my hands by now and frankly even with a sub par top I would have been happy. I am now forced to take what will be a year old model holdover that’s been sitting 5+ months if I want this Bronco.
I remember buying a MY97 F150 off the floor mid 1996.
If I could dump my already built unit and re-order a 22 with my original time stamp, I absolutely would. I would then be able to order a Basesquatch and have 22 options available since the build is off now.
This dumpster fire has me pissed off.
Bonus, you won't have to wait a year stuck behind a bunch of reservationists talking about their "reservation timestamps", lol.I opted for the Jeep. Ordered yesterday afternoon. Should have it first or second week of Nov.
Those are technically still new because they haven't been owned/registered before. But they are still 1-2years old and are usually heavily discounted. Mostly trims or colors no one wants.Someone covered this very well in another thread yesterday by pointing out that dealers often have leftovers on their lot as much as 3 years old being sold as new.
Even if Jeep was the only competition out there I'd still never buy one. I can't stand the driving characteristics of a SFA. And they aren't that comfortable to drive. Nothing about them appeals to meI opted for the Jeep. Ordered yesterday afternoon. Should have it first or second week of Nov.
One doesn't have to accept it. Negotiate with the dealer.This only applies to the Bronco's under MAP jail. Since Ford has made it clear that they won't be received replacement MIC until October. Realisticly end of October or even November since they tend to over promise and under deliver. And we can expect them to take severals weeks at a minimum to several months; maybe even extending into 2022 for these #badbatchbronco for their tops to get replaced. So these Bronco's will be sitting at MAP at a minimum for 4 months to 6+ months plus another 4 weeks for delivery before they get delivered to dealers likely stretching into 2022. So is it really acceptable to take delivery of a 2021 "badbatchbronco" in 2022 for the same price, when they are building or maybe even deliverying the 2022 Bronco's. They are basically year old models with possible water damage from the leaking tops and the mechanical/physical deteriating components for being exposed to the elements and not being driven lubricating all the parts/seals. We are still expected to pay the same for a 6 month old Bronco that's been sitting and will instantly take a year hit on depresiation versus. I would rather put a new order in for a 2022, have it built and driving it within a month. But that's only if we can keep our original reservation time stamp. Anyone else think Ford should financial compense us 2021 builts since they won't be able to be bought until the end of the year which will put most of us in 2022 and buying a 2021? Thoughts? Anyone else not happy about buying a badbatchbronco that could have possible interior damage not noticable or worried about the mechanicals components sitting idle for such a long time without some sort of model end discount or incentive? Year end discount, rebate, trade-in assist, ford pass points or some sort of extended warranty? Or do you just don't care?
I think you've just discovered the answer to your question. Supply and demand. Are people going to still want these Broncos? Yes. Demand will still outstrip supply early next year. The price will not go down. You dont want one? Great, someone else will take it at full price, because they wont have an alternative.Those are technically still new because they haven't been owned/registered before. But they are still 1-2years old and are usually heavily discounted. Mostly trims or colors no one wants.
It’s not that I don’t trust it. Mine will spend its whole life outside.If you don’t trust a vehicle 6 months after it’s built, why would you buy one. It’s not a banana. It’s a machine that is built to sit outside.
