Build & Price Updated: Auto No Longer Free For Mid-Level Trim + Other Changes

[ELKS1]

I have no idea what to make of these top options. I’m also assuming any mod top puts you to the back of the line?

Can someone shed some light on this new top option. Can you get the top in any color or just gloss black?

The top options are listed. Black or body colored or MIC gray. If you order either of the 1st two you will be late availability

There surely must be a bug on the build and price between WildTrak and Badlands. Building them each with exactly the same options the Wildtrak is $2465 cheaper.

Nothing personal, I am just trying to squash another 'must be true because everyone posts this' item before it becomes inviolate Scripture.

The difference with the same options between a Bandlands and a Wildtrak (on both the 2 and 4 door) is NOT $2465 cheaper. People are forgetting to add the bash plates and bumper(s) to the Wildtrak to get them as close as you can in options. They only add to the BL to get to the WT. Optioning both so that they are as close as can be ends up as a
$1375 difference. For that difference, you get the MGV over the camo cloth, the sway bar disconnect, the washout floor. If you add the leather on the WT, which is probably closer to the MGV than the cloth, you are $800 better off in the BL.

It just depends on what you want if a hardtop, V6/Automatic is non-negotiable. If you don't want the upgraded bumper, the 'laugh at the rain' interior, non-cloth interior, or the heavier body armor from the factory, then the WT is a huge win for you as you are not paying for stuff you don't want. It is good to have choices.


Full disclosure; I am only here for the manual, if they did not offer it, I would be looking hard at more road biased SUV's. I don't need the capability of a BL, but as I am stuck with it to get the manual and any packages whatsoever, I will have fun with it. (also full disclosure, I don't rally the WRX, I don't loaf along all day at 155 MPH on the highway in the AMG, and I don't drag the footpegs around corners along the Dragon's Tail on the Indian either. All that unused capability...) Come to think of it, I don't really 'need' a hot wife with a firm backside, but here we are...

We knew that price was probably going to get fixed, AND there are real COVID supply-chain issues, but has the B&P team ever heard of a staging site? Build it, test internally, test it with select super-users, fix issues, repeat until debugged/errors caught, THEN release? This “fix” has just introduced more bugs and pricing errors.

Also, is the turret top on the MOD no longer a thing?

Oh boy its a long time till august!

Yep! Only 8 months until I have to wait a couple more months!

? Mine will be late anyway because I’m waiting until 2022 need to save more money for a down payment. May even have to sell my 77 ?

this ABSOLUTELY was implemented by an entire team of folks....on their very first day at work. Not just at Ford - their very first day of punching in ANYWHERE

Nothing personal, but your incorrect. I added the bumper and bashplates and they were optioned identically.
BadLands $56955
Wildtrak $54490
Delta $2465

Well, that just put the Bronco price well above a similarly equipped Jeep Wrangler...

We really need X-Plan pricing restored at this rate. Now for is getting in on the "cost reasons" bandwagon before it even hits the dealers "reasons."

 

[Bronco4lyfe85]

correct on all accounts.

The idea that were angry that we're not getting a free transmission is stupid and completely misses the point.

I believed from the day one of B&P that something seemed off about the cost of the packages as they related to the automatic transmission. Everyones saying B&P is broken, this is buggy and that's buggy.

My stance was well has Ford acknowledged any problems? No. Well then its not broken; this is what it is like it or not. Then 2 months later and weeks after ordering was supposed to open up with no warning or statement they drop this bomb.

Yes this is probably the correct pricing and what we should have expected from the being but that doesn't make the way Ford handled it less fucked up.

No one is angry about not getting a freebie. We're frustrated that Ford didn't recognize that this was a glaring error on release of B&P and let it hang out there so long that they no longer have any choice but to take ownership of the fact they fucked up severely but instead have choice to not do so and are losing the confidence of their buyers.

Really? Some of you are so casual about this as if the rest of are wrong make a stink over this. How would you feel if Ford casual walked up to you and shoved a finger in your ass? Would you go 'meh what are you guys crying about its just one finger.'

I've been very positive through all this and extremely forgiving of Fords process but this really makes me nervous about the product I waiting on. I get that a new roll out will have issues but they should have sat on this another six month before taking reservations because they took the cake out of the oven half baked.







That was cathartic. Flame away.
