Steven, you seem a little angry for someone who has already received a build date and VIN.DISAGREE
Ford hasn't reneged on anything. Everyone will get exactly what they want AND Ford is also guaranteeing pricing for folks that get pushed into MY22. That's a big deal considering the price of everything is going up. Unfortunately, events out of Ford's control (hardtops, Covid, etc) have meant that early production has less flexibility than planned or expected. AND,,,
Entitlement is strong on this forum. $100 deposit for a custom vehicle is next to nothing and people saying they've been screwed by Ford, etc, etc is nonsense. Ford can only build so many Broncos with hardtops, big engine, Squatch, etc per month. That is a simple, unalterable fact. So, people complaining that a Big Bend 2.3 softtop reserved in August is being built before their day 1 reservation wildtrak is bullsh_t. Also, Ford never guaranteed anyone a vehicle by a certain date. Read the disclaimers from July 13, 2020. Yet, people feel Ford is screwing them. I agree entitlement has a negative connotation!
NO ONE IS being told they must compromise on anything (ex FEs not getting MOD). All any customer has to do is wait a bit longer for their custom vehicle. Show me where anyone HAS TO settle for less? Ford was also nice enough to lower the price of WT by about $1200 to compensate for getting MIC tops.
Anyone who wants out can get their $100 deposit back ANY time. But why would they? $100 buck is meaningless and they want their Bronco, so pissing (an moaning) into the wind is what they'll do.
Perhaps strolling around the Palace of Versailles in a pompadour wig and yelling “Let them eat cake!” while the peasant mob gathers in revolt at the palace gate is not the best tactic under the circumstances?
