Still holding hope waiting for the order guide, but based on the build and price, still no painted top options so I'm disappointed, maybe job 2, or 25, or 26. Looks like a 24 Wildtrak is slightly cheaper than a 23 if you want leather and the bumper options on the 23. But thats against a...

September 14th is contract expiration, past years only 1 of the 3 would be targeted and go on strike (Sep 15 2019 was GM strike for 40 days). This year the UAW has said they'll be targeting all three at once, but time will tell.

We got 1 extra 24 due to loosing 1 23 to another dealer, so not much affect for us, in the broadcast they had one dealer ask what would happen if they had as many 24 debit allocations (due to getting extra 23's) as they had allocations, and they were told that would be rare, only a few dealers...

Just got our 2024 Bronco Allocation numbers, ours looks to be about the same as 23 so that's good news. I had concerns we might loose production with the new Ranger coming on line at the plant. Hopefully dealers will end up with more since all Fords estimates account for planned some % of...

No, he's talking phone as a key, Ford only puts it in EV's for some stupid reason.

Phone as a key like Mach E has. Cooled seats Choice of interior colors, at least give each trim 2 interior options so I don't have to have blue trim on my Red Bronco. Raptor digital dash on other models, I'm just not in love with the cluster in my Wildtrak. That's it for now, but next thing...

For those trying to do the price/logic thing, need to factor resale as well. Can't predict the future, but the past is a good indicator. 2021 Badlands 4 door, $54,525 (NADA retail), Add V6 $1675, Sasquatch $1950 total $58150 Wildtrak Retail $59,850, so there's that in the Wildtraks favor. I...

Actually, I'd say its the other way, I'd leave a 1985 vehicle sit with no issue, all the new ones are battery draining machines. Intelligent access, Fordpass, and all the computers are hard on batteries. Ford doesn't even cover the battery under warranty until its sold, on the dealers lot they...

All depends how the dealer ordered it, if it was a retail order, it should qualify for price protection (if sold to same name ordered under), if they just tagged a name against an existing order internally, it wouldn't qualify.

This is the future for specialty vehicles. Up until now we could retail order Raptors, Shelbys etc and get price protection to lock in against increases. Starting with 2024 Ranger Raptor all specialty vehicles will be ordered as stock units only meaning no price protection. I don't know the...

1st time I used it so not super quick, but you get the idea. If I had a spot a hoist would be better, but I dont.

I believe its because of line complexity issues, Bronco and Ranger share an assembly line. I expect the new Ranger will start this fall and Ford will be reducing choices to make production simpler to help with startup issues, once the new Ranger is going smoothly, look for more features to get...

I've had mine for a few weeks. I put it together and pulled the top once just to try it, but it still below freezing at night so think I've got a while before driving with the top off.

Another click bait story. Ford is doing something about the markups, they're raising prices to the point there's no room left for the dealer to mark up, look at Lightning as a good example (base model has a $12,000 increase since 22 ordering started). Transit vans went up another $1500 today...

Just looked on the dealer site and my 2 Door Wildtrak is scheduled for Nov 7th. No email, but that seems to be a trend, never got on my others either, get the birthday picture, but no status updates.

By my definition, reservation was something the customer did and put a deposit through Ford so Ford didn't have to verify that it was a legit customer. COVP is done by the dealer, we upload a signed purchase order, WBDO screen and photo ID and it gets approved. Main reason for this was on...

Confusing to me now. Bronco was under reservations, COVP was for other lines (and fresh 22 Bronco orders before the order bank was closed). COVP and Bronco reservations have a separate name match policy and don't count together, each is its own so I consider them different. That said...

I have no idea, Bronco scheduling seems so random that I can't say if priority matters or not. Ford has told us we can prioritize, and they've said that time stamp does that for you, I can say I have no idea, commodities seem to be the only thing prioritizing my order bank. Allocations can be...

Every months allocations are for dealers, Ford only sells to dealers. Wholesale tells the dealer how many they get for the month, then during scheduling its figured out which ones by commodities and priority codes. Since no new retail orders to start, I assume stock will be like current and...

Just looked at my wholesale, and Bronco does indeed show now, so 2023 FIRST MONTH allocations are going to dealers.
