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

[fschael]

I did the same thing…. Went out and test drove a rubicon last New Year’s Day, had my custom ordered rubicon in my drive way in March 2021, all thanks to the ford bronco launch failure lol

You must be a prophet as on last December no-one imagine all this delays that happened this year.

My PlanB delivered Monday, JL Unlimited Rubicon Xtreme Recon.
8 weeks from order to delivery! Configuration is way more specific than Bronco ordering.

Received my Badlands order build date for Nov. 15 a couple weeks ago... so the dealer gets some lot stock, reservation holders get the finger.

Second step is recognizing that you're still in love that even having something else, still doing stalking on your previous relationship and brags that you have something else

That right there might have just switched me to a Jeep, and a Willys, in fact. I've yet to place my order. I'm WAY down the list at a popular dealer so I'm thinking 23 at the earliest. As much as I love the Bronco, a wrangler might be the way to go at this point.

Nice ND hat by the way!

Did the weekend at Notre Dame for the Cincinnati game with 5 other Dads. A pretty amazing experience.

Plan B would be a tacoma. I've never owned anything but ford's. My dad and grandfather both ford retirees but this bronco cluster and lack of anything else appealing to me in their line up means I'll be jumping ship if my dealer decides to screw me and not do the z plan. Assuming my bronco ever leaves dirt mountain of coarse.

Can you do extreme recon in a willy's? I though that was just for Rubicon trim level.

I actually backed out on it. Decided I didn't want give up having a bed.

I realize this isn't entirely the OPs question but I decided I'll wait Ford out and get something practical in the meantime. So enter my 2020 Subaru Outback Limited - 11k miles off lease of some guy with at least 2 dogs (the hair under the seats man...).

It's not the most exciting car in the world, but it's got AWD, good ground clearance for trails, great cargo area and dog-guy did me a favor and upgraded the wheels and tires right before he got rid of it, so it looks 50% better than most other outbacks. Whenever Ford decides to bless me by building my order my Lady will take the outback and replace her old Nissan and I'll have the Bronco.

Just ordered a Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sahara with the skytouch roof and a few other options. Living in a very densely populated area most of my driving is less than 10-15 miles round trip, my commute to work is 17 miles and I can charge for free there, so I’ll get a lot of use out of the battery. Plus it’s the second most powerful wrangler ever made after the 392, and the $7500 off from the feds is icing on the cake. As an 8/21 bronco res I’m looking forward to spending a couple/few years with it!

I realized last December the shitshow that was shaping up, enough that I picked up a new Tacoma to get us by. I didn’t realize just how bad it would be, I expected to have a Bronco in the driveway maybe late summer 2021.

You're gonna love that Sky One Touch roof. Bought a Sahara last year for my wife with the One Touch and it's awesome.

I reserved a Fisker Ocean as a just in case.

Plan B? I sold my 2016 GMC Canyon late last summer because I thought I'd get my Bronco by EOY 2021. Soon after my sale I learned that's not the case. My gut reaction is to go back to GM and get another Canyon. I really liked it, and it served me well. However, the other side of me says use Granger's 6% under invoice for a Bronco Sport, and give it to my wife when the Bronco comes in. I just wish I had a good reading on the Bronco delivery. I am a 7/18 reservation holder, which puts my reservation between the 225 and 250 allocation mark on Zach's chart. If Granger will deliver around 200 Broncos this year, I could be in the first half of 2022. I'm probably going to wait on Plan B just a bit longer.

Do you still have the Bronco on your plans?

F150 tremor is pretty exciting

Yes. I actually have a vin, but it moved from “scheduled“ on 9/30 back to “ordered” now.
