I wouldn’t be so sure of that. The dealer didn’t cancel with Ford; they’ll still get the Bronco I ordered… sometime at the tail end of ‘21 or in ‘22 or maybe in ‘23. It’s anyone’s guess, really.

Glad I tapped out at my 6th. My dealer wasn’t only understanding, he likewise had a few choice words for Ford. …I mourned briefly, but couldn’t be happier with my new JLU!

Damn, I miss car shows. That is the one thing we have in Three Hills here that’s worth coming for: The Annual Cruise Weekend. Cars and Trucks from all over Canada and adjacent States come up for it, absolutely fill the town for the weekend. Motorcycles come up too for the Friday, and we have...

Actually, I am an active member both here on B6G and on the JLWrangler Forum, and I don’t see the hate for Bronco there I see for the Wrangler here. I think Ford is partly to blame for fostering this as a rivalry, and trying so hard to copy the Wrangler but boast “improvements” (and only time...

Do it! I don’t regret the move to my new JLU at all. More features and far better engine history with the 3.6L V6 than the Ecoboost. …On top of that, I got more features for my money and got to see that what folks meant by Ford “benchmarking” the Wrangler was actually “ripping off”. Right...

It It will look almost as good as this readily available 2021 Islander edition, I reckon - which comes with Dual Tops. 👍✌️

👆Key words right there.

I really questioned this design aspect - the hydraulic strut on the swing gate. A strut aligned horizontally doesn’t add rigidity or strength to the gates travel; in other words, hydraulic or pneumatic struts are intended to bear a (compression, not extension) load at their end points, and not...

Oh, I would expect 2022 pricing to be substantially higher than 2021. Material costs have skyrocketed; there isn’t near as much margin in the manufactured product for Ford as most folks like to think. Your 2021 will escalate in value, not depreciate.

I am sure you will; that wasn’t my point. My point was, you cannot excuse Ford’s inability to properly engineer a working hardtop, or to have sufficiently tested their product in the earlier pre-production models to “work out the bugs”, or to have better taken control of their supply chain...

You do know the Wrangler has a removeable top? In fact, several versions of them across their platforms: Hard tops with Freedom Panels, Soft tops that fold back, One Touch Sky roofs that open with the press of a button. The Bronco isn’t groundbreaking; although Ford’s marketing makes it sound...

The chips in electric vehicles is only a part of the problem. There are very real constraints in lithium supplied for the batteries… and with Chevy recalling every Bolt EV ever built due to battery fires, coupled with Government mandates to go electric, the demand for lithium has never been...

At the current rate of inflation, by the time you are ready to take delivery 10% financing will seem like a “deal”. Believe me, interest rates are going to skyrocket to try to get inflation back under control. We are in for a number of very very rough years.

….When the minimum spend per customer is $0, and the maximum spend is “$1000”, but examples of gifts include $40 (cost) oil changes or bottles of booze…. Pretty much says it all, Dont it? NOTE: Obviously a Ford.com (USA) program. Canadian customers (as always) do not qualify - even for a...

….rethinking my original response…. I don’t know that there is a nation left on planet Earth that ISN’T currently a “tyrannical regime”.

Yep. If you need a new vehicle, buy a new vehicle. Don’t wait. Prices are only going up and not only due to increased demand and constrained supply, inflation has officially hit “super stupid” levels.

If it wasn’t apparent already, Ford has no idea what should be built, what can be built, what will be built and when yet. I think they just “schedule” for shits and giggles. It makes it look like they are accomplishing something.

You’re right, they will spin it. Not even close to the real competition they tried to benchmark though: JEEP WRANGLER – US – MONTH Year Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 2005 3,743 5,198 6,748 7,882 8,543 8,337 11,704 7,079 5,463 4,475 4,482 5,363 2006 3,830 5,673 8,180...

I remember how I excited I got the first time I received my scheduling email and VIN, back in April. I remember how I consoled myself when I received notification that my build schedule was delayed from June to July…. Hey, I would still see my Bronco by end of summer…. I remember how July was...
