The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

[BlarneyStoned]

I feel like I should know this already but are you guys calling the Backdoor the pizza tracker or is it something completely different?

There's the one from your scheduled/built email thats like this: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking/status/?vin=1FMEE5DH8PLBXXXX, and there's also the backdoor link which looks like https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId=XXXXXXXX. Both kind of have a pizza tracker graphic and they give slightly different details. The backdoor link is where you can see your estimated ship date range. But I wouldn't hold my breath on the dates, originally mine was 4/16-4/21 and its currently 4/23-4/29. Also, they have a habit of having actually shipped without updating the status for days (e.g. mine is still just "built" not "shipped")

My delivery date just changed again to 4/23-4/29. Also, the tracker switched to only order confirmed for some reason.

Ditto (again)

There's been movement on the pizza tracker. Hasn't updated since 12 April so this is pretty good news. Anyone else seeing something similar?

So this would be a certificate with a string of numbers on it?

Correct, signed off by me and perhaps my GM. This/These would be exclusive certificates. It's unknown what value, if any, they would provide for longevity on the Bronco, however, watching various antique/collectible type shows over the years, adding to the overall legend of the item seems to always improve the value. No guarantee of course, but historically, that's what I've seen.

Shouldn't have made that deal with the devil, dude, it never works out.

But seriously the trackers are a mess, hopefully yours is closer that it shows!

Posting this in case anyone else has a 2022 Bronco and is still waiting on their price protection money from Ford.

I just got off the phone with Tina. She was drafting my price protection check when I called.

She said I'm getting $2,628 in PP for my 2022 2-door Badlands. My Bronco had a build week of 14 November but was on chip hold until early December. Then it sat in "awaiting shipment" for over a month and arrived at Stephens on 21 January. I finally picked it up on 28 January.

She said she only received PP money from Ford for four individuals on this latest notification. But she anticipates getting lots more in the coming days as they have about 30 Bronco's on the lot now and expect another 40 in the next few weeks.

It's been a long, hard road. Like everyone else, I wish it would've been available at the time of purchase but better late than never. Also, I do not blame Stephens or Bronco John or Jeremy for any of this. Everyone at Stephen's has been awesome to work with.

Also, thanks to each of you for the support and the info.

What is the average time you are spending at Stephens during purchase/pick up? 30 minutes? An hour?

Any decent place to stay near by?

I'm due to be delivered in the coming week and want to start plotting out my trip.
