I would assume some dealerships, and/or Ford, are *always* looking to void warranty coverage when and if possible. It’s standard insurance industry practice (and a warranty is just a type of insurance) and it’s how money gets made, when carefully balanced with customer satisfaction (or lack thereof). Definitely a consideration in getting the burliest stock configuration possible. If it breaks before 3/36,000, they fix it. If it’s aftermarket? Maybe.

The only reason a stealership would want to honor a warranty is so that you buy an extended warranty from them the next time you purchase a car from them. If you're not handing them a payment, they aren't making any money. Ford is the same. Every warranty claim is money out of their profit margin. Neither the dealer, nor Ford is your friend. They want your money pure and simple.

So true, BUT the issue with Bronco buying is that it gets difficult to understand exactly what you get vs. lose going from trim to trim and option to option. Then if one is not particularly savvy in off road truck builds, it may be difficult to understand the consequences of a feature election/deletion.

In the past, I don't know how many times I've been using some online car configurator and I think, "I want heated seats." Then the configurator says "Are you sure you want heated seats?" I say, "Yes....I think I do want heated seats....so I click 'YES'" Then the configurator informs me that option packages 734D, 723A, 452Q, and 879Z have been removed and options 153F, 258C, and 296T have been added to my vehicle...the engine and transmission choice have been revised.....Cherry Bomb Blaze Red color choice is no longer an option.....and the price of the vehicle just doubled. :)

Maybe you should have waited and got the 2028 Sasquatch. Looks like there are some upgrades to the package.
