Feels like we be in a airport.....



I feel like you don't have a grasp of the state of the world today. Living in times of plenty are over, and it is not just for one reason but several epic reasons, each one by itself would be a S-storm. My advice to everyone is to look around and pay attention to current events.

yet, you can order essentially any other vehicle and there not be an issue...playing the blame game might have worked a year ago but it's now 2023, come on. Jeep was sweating when this thing got revealed and now they're laughing and thanking Ford for the sales.

I hate it for you guys that's been strung along. By midyear I bet those Badlands everybody will have to swap to will be a constraint.

Am wondering if there’s enough for a class action lawsuit against Ford for claiming to be able to produce something it can’t, bait and switch, and fraudulently providing a form of price protection if you switch to what they can produce (and backing out if you insist on waiting for what you ordered)
I would definitely join in on a class action lawsuit.

I haven’t tried it in a bronco
But did in a Volkswagen, Chrysler and Honda

I don’t care for it
I've had ACC in my last 6 Fords. It works great!

That seems obvious to me. Ford can't build the current Badlands demand. Having thousands outstanding orders transition to the Badlands isn't going to allow Ford to build more. There is no way Ford will have a parade of Badlands on the line at MAP.

The transition offer will be the enticement. Then later this summer (after mid-year price increases on other Ford vehicles takes effect), Ford will inform those waiting for the Badlands that their order is being cancelled and the transition offer can be applied to a new Ford.

Another twist in the "Ford Fuc%up".

All I can say is I'm hopeful they retro this to last month and allow me the $2500 rebate on a Bronco I took from dealer stock on 12/11/22. I got tired of this game and jump on a 2 door, 2.7L, OBX with leather, mic, tow. 5k over MSRP. I have a 4 door OBX...same specs...on order now for over a year. LOVE the new Bronco...and I'll be even more glad I did this if this news becomes "truth" because they obviously can't fulfill the orders they have - which means a long, long wait for those still in line.
I bought one out of dealer stock as well. One month ago to the day actually. 7/14/20 reservation. I ordered an eruption green 2 door Badlands, manual transmission, no Sasquatch, no interior package. I ended up with the exact same but it has Sasquatch and 12 inch screen. Absolutely love it. And now my order also got scheduled for production. Lol. If this offer came about a month ago, I could have gotten the $2500. I'd say there's zero chance they retro it. I paid $2000 over, I just got a $171 refund from the dealer as well.

Depends how one defines the $15.9 billion federal loan Ford accepted in Q1 2009.
That was a loan, just like any of us would take a loan. They had the collateral. GM and Chrysler didn't have collateral and went bankrupt! My cousin lost all the money he had in GM stock.

I am putting it out there and calling BS on FORD. When they purge our early, unfulfilled orders they will reopen the order banks, price will be raised, and you will be able to order AND GET your truck. It will be a mid-MY price increase and production will flow. Mark my words. IF you choose to do nothing and leave your order as is, FORD will simply not build it and you will lose. We know this because it's what they've done from the start.

What Ford is doing is shameful. Many people still waiting since July 13, 14 and 15 2020. Ford could have built those orders buy now, instead of dealer orders. Now some one waiting for a 2 door, can not get it.

I believe your right middle of summer you will see two door hard tops on lots. They just won't be tied to a reservation. Same thing with SAS and Wildtrak.
Had the same idea. My nearly exact build is on a lot 50 miles from my house. Yet they couldn't build mine after 917 days. It's all BS. Do not believe FORD. This is war. They want us gone. We served our purpose to hype their truck.
Yep. Really a bad way to treat die hard Bronco fans. I know if I was still waiting on my reservation, I would be ordering from somebody other than Ford. I would not cancel my reservation though, high even change it to something I don't want. Cause I would never buy it when it came in.

This is the worst shit show of any new vehicle launch I have ever seen.

How can a company as large as Ford have such a "fly by the seat of their pants" plan for the Bronco? We all get constraints, but it seems like every plan they come out with is a best case scenario, which never happens, so they continuously have to come up with more plans. I guess the new guy steering the ship doesn't quite have his arms around this yet.

You know what one of the absolute points of comedy about this is. There is now no way to get a heated steering wheel. I know it may not mean much to many but we spend a lot of time in VT where it can get really, really cold. Imagine a 50+k car/truck where you cannot get a freaking heated steering wheel.
