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

[JenB]

How much was that thing? They had one on my dealer lot prior to my Raptor arriving and it stickered for more than the Raptor... Blew my mind

‘Sorry for the late reply, doing a cross country trip. I paid sticker (MSRP 68,785). That dealer went to 5k over MSRP that same day but honored my deal. Drove into my dealer in Virginia and one of the sales guys wanted to buy it—said they can’t get any inventory. I said that was why I bought it……

It is difficult to come up with a plan B if your priorities are similar to mine:
1. Manual transmission
2. Good on-asphalt manners
3. Off-road capability
4. Interesting appearance
Just frustrating to see the rollout coincide with such drastic supply bottlenecks/pandemic shortages.

I felt damn lucky to snag a vehicle last week that fit into all of those categories. And I'm totally digging it!

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?

I may be selling my MY22 Eruption Green Badlands HighSquatch. It should be here by February maybe sooner based on what I am seeing in the forums. I think I may get a 2020 F250 Diesel with the 10 Speed.

I bailed on my day 3 res last December and bought a MachE in February. If the stars align I may order a no option Green Base 2 door the December or January.

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.

Good to hear! It’s a pricey option but living in coastal southern New England we get a lot of mild weather great for top down cruising, but we get a good amount of random precipitation off the ocean as well. Figured it would be worth the money since it would get me a lot more open air time, and will probably get most of it back on resale anyway

I reserved a Fisker Ocean as a just in case.

Will that get delivered before my Eilo?

Elio Motors promised a next-gen, 84 mpg car and got millions in deposits. But where are the cars?

Toyota Tundra. Realistically, this is the vehicle I should be buying since I do a lot of towing and I like to be able to throw stuff in the bed, but I can't resist the allure of the Bronco!

I have a friend that has the Sky One roof on her Wrangler. She loves it.

Bronco Off-Roadeo sold me for good on an off roader but my 7/14/2020 reservation that may not arrive until after Spring/Summer 2022 lost me.
A Granger Jeep Rubicon is in my future thanks to the great sales tool of the Bronco Off-Roadeo and Fords inability to build Broncos.

I reserved the same date and just ordered a 2022 loaded Badlands. The dealer won’t give me an estimate on when it will be here…are we really looking next summer? After browsing this forum I’m thinking it will be a long wait for me….

Between Fords allocation system and commodity restraints we can ask the Magik 8-Ball and it may be as accurate as anything else.

Looks like more will be abandoning ship...

Not really a plan B vehicle necessarily but I was just blown away with the value proposition with the Maverick Hybrid XL. So I ordered one of those too - kind of a crap shoot as to which one comes first but the MavBrid will be my DD and the Bronco now becomes even more of a weekend vehicle.

I'd actually be OK with a MY23, no price increase, and they keep Eruption Green for me.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I'm not cancelling regardless so there isn't a plan B.... that being said... shit drags on long enough I could easily see myself buying some sort of toy to hold me over... lol

I'm trying to figure out right now is I can use the soft top. I need room for loading tall things, and that dang lower bar the rear window attaches too is the elephant in the room. I'll have to get a better measurement. It's really not the best design out there in my mind. The way things are going I'm beginning to think Ford is trying to screw this up.
