  1. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    It’s just sad we’re talking about these trucks like they’re f’kn Paint to Sample Porsches. Two years later and the disinformation and dealership extortion continues unchecked while Ford’s “communication guy” casually hints at the possible demise of the manual transmission in the Twitter DMs of a...
  2. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    I don’t guess I realized just how unique it was. At least not as quickly as the dealership did. I’ve found one so far, in my third choice color, marked up $5k from current MSRP which means it’s about $8k more than my price—and they won’t even touch the trade in offer I had on my deal sheet...
  3. Dealer markup.

    As someone who just had my custom ordered Bronco sold out from under me on a technicality, I am sorry to say that Ford corporate doesn't care. "We will record your feedback and handle this internally" is about all you will hear. I hope your paperwork is more airtight than mine, but the sad...
  4. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    Agreed on all fronts. Whether it's a discontinuation or a full 1.5 model year "gap," or something in between, it was an ominous message. Regardless of my personal saga trying to source a replacement for the truck I ordered, this is disappointing news for lots of folks. From the grinding noise...
  5. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    They are probably going to cancel them in 2024 then bring them back in 2025 as a more expensive option than the automatic, which they'll use to justify another massive MSRP increase across the board. I've spent dozens of hours trying to speak with various Ford customer support people and it's...
  6. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    I super appreciate it. I'm looking for a 2 door Badlands manual. It's been brutal.
  7. Private Offer-Renewed

    Has anyone had verified success applying the Model Year Transition Offer (program # 38644) to a Bronco other than the one they ordered? This thread suggests yes, but there isn't much evidence to back it up...
  8. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    How much did they pay you to say this? Sounds a lot like every person on their "Marketing" hotline... "That is between you and the dealership, Ford does not do that." "So you're telling me Ford doesn't ever do anything to help its customers, even when they're literally begging you for the...
  9. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    Oh, I know that’s what it means. Which is why I thought his message to me was pretty interesting and newsworthy. It sounds like the manual may be on a million year hiatus if Levine's language is to be believed.
  10. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    I’ve accepted his “no” and my dealership costing me thousands. That’s not what this thread is about. I’m sharing the news about the manual’s uncertain future. Lots of enthusiasts on this forum care about the manual transmission. Everyone has different preferences.
  11. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    I'm sure trying... the markups and lowballs on my trade-in have me worried that I won't come within 8 grand of the deal I had and lost. If I can even find a similarly-specced Bronco at all.
  12. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    Not to mention, he just communicated to me that the manual transmission will only hopefully be back for next year. That is very much in his wheelhouse and is very much big/bad news.
  13. Manual transmission will “hopefully” be back for model year 2024 Bronco says Mike Levine

    Amidst the saga of my dealer selling my custom ordered 2 door / Badlands / 7MT / High Package out from under me, I got this fun little tidbit in a very unhelpful Twitter conversation with everyone’s favorite Ford rep. Since Ford isn’t doing anything for me, I figured I’d throw some gasoline on...
  14. No 2 Door Orders According to Dealer

    I still can't believe I lost my 2 door / Badlands / manual / High package.. Mike Levine's last message to me said "Manuals will hopefully be back for MY 24." The run on these configurations is getting nutty. I tried to buy 2 different similar builds (but standard instead of high pack) this...
  15. 2022 HVAC Temperature Display Dial Retrofit DIY & Part Numbers -- Install Success!

    These are my exact questions! Dealer sold my custom-ordered Bronco out from under me... found a similar build but it's Standard Pack instead of High. So none of the Mid features. I'm trying to wrap my mind around paying $45k for a vehicle with no heated seats. Curious if updating to this panel...
  16. The sold my truck from underneath me. Now what?!

    Success stories like yours give me the faintest glimmer of hope for those of us with bad cases. Sadly, it’s likely much easier for them to enforce a temporary “stop charging ADM” wrist slap than to replace price protection and sold customer cars.
  17. Dealer Sold My Bronco. Is my Price Protection gone for good? How to replace a 2 door/MT/High order?

    After spending over 3 hours of my day on the phone with Ford “Marketing Department,” I think I’m SOL. Also, it seems like that Marketing hotline rings people in their houses lol. Quite the array of background noise. Must be quite the gig getting paid to say “yes I have heard a lot of similar...
  18. Dealer Sold My Bronco. Is my Price Protection gone for good? How to replace a 2 door/MT/High order?

    Thanks for this. I've gone down this road several times but will continue checking periodically. None of them are 2 door/high package, and only a couple are even listed at MSRP for a BadManMid. Paying $50k+ for a Badlands mid when I had a Badlands High for $46.4k feels pretty asinine and is a...
  19. Dealer Sold My Bronco. Is my Price Protection gone for good? How to replace a 2 door/MT/High order?

    I sincerely appreciate this. This is the information I'm seeking, and you've provided it in spades! I checked out of the forums for a long while after ordering, it wasn't worth all the stress and heartache. Sadly, I was too checked out to have my ducks in a row for this deal and now I'm at...
  20. Dealer Sold My Bronco. Is my Price Protection gone for good? How to replace a 2 door/MT/High order?

    I definitely understand. I don't want to paint an unrealistic picture of me as perfect and the dealer as evil. I just want help understanding if anyone has found success with remediation and/or Price Protection. If anyone decides to read it all, it's appreciated. The question posed at the top...
