Too Much Conflicting Information

[Snippy]

This all boils down to the principle that it is February of 2021, people have submitted orders, and Ford continues to make changes, or different reps have conflicting information.

It’s unbelievable the immense mess of people not knowing what is or isn’t late availability, or what won’t be available period.

On top of the fact that they’re showcasing models that are Frankenstein trims mixed together.

Take the OBX Carbon Gray Sasquatch pics that were posted. The dash is gray but the B&P shows a roast dash. Which is it?

If Ford Marketing is listening, please get your stuff together and clean up the website to accurately display colors, trim options, finishes, and CONFIRMED aftermarket accessories available . Jesus...

Totally agree. I think I'm informing my dealer more than Ford is.

Ford is not listening. Not sure about Jesus.

Hot take:

We actually know a lot if you go to the source (Ford) and read the up-to-date specs and what they’ve put out. All the recent builds aren’t Franken Broncos anymore. Haven’t been since at least the new year.

The reason it’s such chaos here is because threads and posts go back to before official things were released, and very low post count people chime in with old or bad information to new questions all the time.

This forum basically compresses all guesses and arguments down, and presents it all at once in a giant mess

The big unknowns right now are relatively minor things like rear cargo depth within an inch. Even things like the color of the MIC which has evolved has been updated with official info recently.

Perhaps the glaring problem is the ignorance at the dealer level... and that’s out of Ford’s control. Thankfully 95% of the answers are on the Ford website... at least all the answers to the most common issues. I’d say at least 3-5 times a week someone new asks a question, and it gets answered with incorrect info... and I’ll post a screen cap direct from the Ford site with the actual info.

The last 5% are really high level stuff... things like how to change dealers after an order was converted without permission... and that’s available here in the forum, in fact form... If you just read the documents instead of listening to someone’s alarmist and incorrect interpretation.

not sure what the confusion is about...Ford sent an email on what options, trims, etc that will delay your build. Pick whatever bronco you want with whatever parts/acc you want...if it’s on fords delay list then you’re not getting it. As far as pics, etc...if it’s not in B&P then you’re not getting it....why is this so difficult to understand? Or am i missing something?

Op I agree with you. We have to rely on spy shots to know what production Broncos look like. The b&p is notoriously inaccurate. It shouldn't take much for ford to hire a professional photographer to take interior photos of every trim and interior combo

I ordered and know exactly what my trim looks like. But that doesn't mean I don't recognize how there's a communication gap here

FWIW: Jesus is the cause of all of this. Jesus invented Just In Time Inventory, then developed Covid-19 and threw the global workforce into a panic specifically to impact global parts development, manufacturing and distribution. This was all part of his master plan to impact you, specifically, as one human being on this planet.

Oh sure, we all enjoy there being one big unknowable master plan for the human race. Unless it's to ensure Snippy doesn't get his Oompa Loompa now.

If I was in Ford's Marketing department what I would have read with your post was that customers are massively out of touch with reality and that while you can't please 100% of customers 100% of the time, right now here in 2021, you can't please more than 20% of customers no matter what you do, so why try?

I wonder if Jesus has an early reservation, or will have to wait for a 2022.

I'm so looking forward to that beautiful white Wildtrack interior, and I've also heard the 2.7 is going to also come with the manual as an option. Totally stoked.
