I have a question for you on this:
If you have, say, 1,000 orders, while my local guy has 50, where do I get delivery first? Is it truly based on reservation time? Or will the volume at a particular dealer factor in?
I am actually curious what tow package includes. If it's just a hitch and light connector, then no wonder. It would seem that aux oil and trans fluid coolers would boost capacity.
The ZR2 Colorado has special suspension and dampening, and still tows 5k, which is down from the 7.5k standard.
The thing is, it's 100% refundable. So, if she isn't on board, that's a bridge you can cross later.
My wife will revolt if it crosses a certain price threshold, I am sure. But, that's a discussion for another time.
Right now, there isn't really much risk.
OT, but related. The wife's first car was a Fiat Spider. For our 30th Anniversary, I looked all over to find the right color combo with a manual.
When I went to go see it, the sales guy pulled up, looking a little frazzled, and told me it was a manual, and asked if I knew how to drive it...
You could what I did, and just the $100, and not tell her. I figured I have 4 months to break it to her, if at all, at order time.
Since I won't actually see the truck for a year, there's plenty of time.
Interestingly, she saw a commercial (not sure if it was TV or online), and she said, when...
I find it interesting that anyone would make a single excuse or find a single rationalization for confusing or bad communications related to the launch of a major product from a major company.
This isn't two 20 yr olds doing a start up in their garage. Allegedly, they are professionals, and...
Don't know about Granger, but I've bought out of state before, and it wasn't any different than buying down the street.
The dealer used a title service, which cost me maybe $150, to transfer the taxes to my state, and to file the registration paperwork.
In my case, the title company messed up...
Did anyone else see the Bronco Build and Price on the Ford website on launch night? It was up for a few hours, then taken back down. Like someone hit the publish button too quickly.
Maybe it's just a thread about a guy asking a question, and some other guys trying to answer it.
As for the FX4 model, I thought it was a good idea that you can get that in every trim as a separate add-on.
In the Bronco, as you mentioned, it's all but the base.
I'll be getting Sasquatch or...
I wonder how this all would've played out had they launched in March as originally planned.
I think the 12-18 month wait for delivery is more of a deterrent to completing the order, but this delay looks bad.
And, yes, I've ordered vehicles before. In those cases, I could track it as it made...
Same guy I've been talking with. I almost bought a Ranger from them a few months ago when Ford was offering free financing, but decided to wait.
I have to find the order sheet, but I don't believe they had all the stupid dealer adds like that boosted the price by $1400 or $1500 like some of...
