@Zach@Granger Zach while the email didn’t specifically mention the WT trim; it did say All 4 doors can change to a soft top. Will Ford allow 4 door WT trims to switch to soft tops?

Thanks for the update. I will call later this week to change my order once again. Don’t think I can wait until 2023. Best wishes to Albert!

Hi @Zach@Granger ! Nice to hear from you. Send best wishes to Albert @Granger Ford .



Can you tell us what configuration your mannequin is and when you estimate its arrival? My wife and I still haven’t seen one in person, and would LOVE to come down from Ames to say hello and finally see one of these babies.

We received 2 initial orders for a mannequin. You can find the link to them here. One is a 2 door 2.7 Wildtrak and one is a 7 speed manual 2.3 4 door big bend.

@Zach@Granger I call dibs on the Wildtrak as soon as you can sell it.

Which one are you getting first? I will absolutely have to come check out the BB when it shows up.

@Zach@Granger - when do y'all recommend making the change to Soft Top if we don't want an August soft top, because free hookups for September+ builds?
Should we wait until after scheduling this week, or should we make the change ASAP?

 

[Zach@Granger]

make it three!

I’ll keep waiting with my original order for mic top and tow package. I’m really in no rush.

really looking forward to flying into Iowa and driving back west.

will you all be carrying the RTR aftermarket parts?

@Zach@Granger

We are not going with RTR parts. We are a Roush dealer, Fuel Wheel dealer, and whipple.

I would change it now. This week they are scheduling production up to the week of the 23rd of August. Which would lead me to believe they are going to do September by the time the order would be scheduled and would come equipped with the hard top wiring provisions.

How deep into the calendar year is scheduling at the momemt? Are August build weeks pretty much locked up?

The reason I ask is I was originally dual tops with MIC and did the change to soft top only with plans to purchase as hard top later. Now I would hate the idea of an August build knowing that the next month builds would be hard top ready.

Hell, MY22 is looking better with the possible ironing out the wrinkles of this rollout.

I have plenty of other constraints: 2.7, lux, SAS.

I apologies messaging you guys since I know you are busy and are probably Bronco'd out.

Thanks in advance.

Week of August 23rd scheduling this week.

No, I would switch to a comparably equipped badlands if that is suitable or wait until the MIC can be built.

The Wildtrak should be any day. The Big Bend should be in by the middle to end of July.

Well crap, just take my money now.

No, wait, let me give the bride a say so in the wheels. That way it won't hurt so bad when I spend the money. Know what I mean?

@Zach@Granger BTW Zach, I posted a question, but to keep you from having to search for it, I'll just post it again. Does your dealership have a detail shop, or do you contract with one, that cleans your customers vehicles? I would love to have, and would be happy to pay for a good coat of wax before we head further west when we leave your lot.

Yes, sorry. We sure do. We can have one of our guys do that. Just remind us when it comes in and we can get it done.
