Jumping Ship? - What's Your Plan B Vehicle Purchase?

[RBF 1401]

I read this earlier.. I didn't connect the dots. Busy day. Didn't realize this meant a likely delay for everyone.

Only if you ordered from a dealer that isn't some giant mega-Ford.

I have no clue who Granger is as I had already ordered long before joining the forum. I thought they were a big dealership. Sad to see it work out this way yet again for early reservation holders.

Is Ford mad at Granger for scalping sales or something?

I ordered a 22 Jeep Rubicon 392.
I figured it's no small thing to get a V8 in a new Wrangler while I can...especially in crap CA.
No doubt it's expensive, but at least there is some tangible value to it because it won't be long until it's gone and no longer offered.

North7-what are you fixing to get at this point?

My eye is on the 6th gen 4Runner due in 2023 or 2024. Heck, at the price of a loaded Bronco we are nipping at Lexas pricing.

2022 Lexus LX600 Will Be Revealed October 13, and It's Coming to the U.S.

• It's the more upscale version of the new 300-series Land Cruiser, which won't be sold in the U.S. Lexus has confirmed to Car and Driver that the LX600 will be sold here.

Nothing magical about Ford stock, compare it to the long term performance of a simple S&P 500 fund.

918% vs 97% over 30 years, you can see which one is the wrong choice.

I'm not sure what that chart is... but it doesn't seem to be market cap. To get an actual picture you'd have to look at a graph of market cap due to stock splits.

Granger is a VERY TINY, but fabulously honest dealer in Iowa who by last year's allocation method could have fulfilled all their orders in 2022, but by Ford's new method, big mega-dealers will get tons of dealer stick to sell to non-reservation holders at huge mark ups while people at small dealerships may be waiting until 2025 for their Bronco.

They must be quite good based on the glowing words I constantly see.

Man. Ford... What the hell.

I bet it'll be $100k+

My LX570 stickered at $95k

My Bronco is delivered, but after all you folks buy other stuff, my 2nd Bronco will be No Problemo!

You’re better off going aftermarket lift with the Ranger if you plan to take it off-road or want that “off road capable” feel. I do not love my 2020 Fx4 xlt. Suspension is way too soft, the crash bars keep from big tires, and the 2.3 is just not that great of an engine.

We bought a 4Runner TRD Off-road and love it. Still getting the bronco (will replace the ranger) but the 4Runner was an amazing surprise. I love it.

The Ranger Tremor is running Fox 2.0 suspension with a completely different leaf spring pack in the rear. It's taken from the transit van. Much stiffer. It handles like a champ off-road. Standard Ranger only has one leaf at that. Very bouncy.

That LX600 looks very nice.
4Runner depending on motor and tranny.

 

[Theherofails]

Ok I didn't know that. I thought it was just a bigger tire/appearance package. I did read that fox 2.0 ford setup was nice. It is definitely the best midsize pickup out there. I hear good things about the colorado zr2 bison but those get costly quick.

I turned down a nice Ranger Lariat due to the ride quality. Wasn't until the Tremor came out that I fell in love. I'll miss mine, but no room with the Bronco coming.

Since Ford is struggling to figure out how to build and deliver Bronco's, some may not even have hope a of getting one before 2026.

Well life moves on, what are you looking to purchase instead of a Ford?

Are you joking about 2026 or no? But anyway my options are
1. F-150 Tremor 401A (leveled lol)
2. F-150 Powerboost (modded for off reading/overlanding)
3. 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro 4X
4. 2022 Tundra TRD Pro (last bc I don’t think I can secure an under invoice deal like I have with the ford trucks.

My plan B is to keep my Tacoma Pro. Probably put larger tires and a slight lift (some 285s fit stock). Possibly a regear to put the engine / transmission in a better spot.

If I had to buy, boy that is tough. The family doesn't care for Jeeps so that is a tough sell. Possibly a Lightning, but after this fiasco I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle of buying a Ford.

I had an order and deposit in on a 22 4Runner SR5 premium up until last week when I got a build date and VIN. If I was getting anything other than a Bronco, third row was a must. I was going to get the 4Runner now, and expect my BD mid to late 22, and play it by ear.
