I know I got the "Your Adventure is Coming" email last week and I was able to make a final determination based off it. That determination being that I am not going to read any more emails from Ford until I see one that has the subject line "Your Bronco will arrive at your dealer on **/**/****"...
Yep, happened to me. The original dealer refunded the $100. A few weeks later the new dealer charged the $100.
no worries, don’t sweat it.
btw...my reservation in my Ford account still shows $0.00 but the $100 is between us and the dealer not us and Ford.
If anyone from Ford Corporate is reading this..please, please PLEASE go to McDonalds Corporate and see how they roll out a new product!! I guarantee it will NOT look like this:
***Coming Soon*** the new "McWonder burger"!! it's a full 3/4 pound of Angus beef on a sesame seed bun. (options...
Well...It looks like I hit 4 of the possible delay options/configurations. Figures.
I'm waiting for the follow-up email "if you want any glass on your Bronco (to include windshields) and any plastic parts at all, this could incur a further delay".
So to paraphrase this dealer:
"Buying a Bronco from us is like wiping your a$$ with barbed wire toilet paper....you can do it, but it will hurt like holy HELL"!!!!!!!!!!
Knowing ME the way I do:
1) Stare at it sitting in my driveway
2) Move it into the garage and stare at it some more
3) Start asking myself.....What the Hell am I ever going to need the front Stabilizer Bar disconnect for that I used as a justification to myself for the purchase of a badlands...
If true that ordering is getting pushed back...then I'm looking at this like the glass is half full.
If they keep pushing it farther and farther out and offering more and more "Ford Credits" to us reservation holders....at some point we'll have enough of these credits saved up to buy the whole...
Where the Hell is my Carbonized Gray badlands???? I don't see it in those pictures.
I put a $100 reservation on it on July 14, 2020...shouldn't it be built by now???
I'm kidding of course but if we were not living in these nutso-times....that would be a reasonable question.
The not knowing is the killer....
I saw one of the 2021 RC Bronco's at Walmart last week sitting in a stack of other RC Bronco's. I actually contemplated buying one and putting it in my garage and pretending it was real like one of those buffoons that caries around a bag of flour to get an...
Yes, I pride myself on being the only person in the United States, out of over 300,000,000 million people to make a decision now and then based on other people’s perceptions.
I thought it would be cool one time time to paint my shutters to look like bubble gum bubbles just to be different but...
1) More power
2) resale value
3) avoiding the sideways glaring and raised eyebrows when I say my Badlands Bronco w/35” tires is powered by a mighty 4 cylinder (this 4 cylinder could be the greatest engine in the planet but the stigma of a 4-banger, is tough to un-do).
July 14th reservation here. Not canceling my reservation.
Has this been a flawless roll-out by Ford? No.
Is it worth waiting a little longer for? Yes.
Do I Love the look of the new Bronco? Yes.
Is my 8 year old son as excited about it as I am? He'll Yes.
The "yes" replies out-number...
I’ve been married twice....and this new Bronco is beginning to feel like #3. How so, you ask?
I started my relationship with the Bronco, starry eyed and excited.
committed to it with a reservation ($100 reservation is cheaper than a diamond, thank Christ but still shows my intention).
After...
I bought a sectional sofa for my living room. How this relates to the Bronco is that it is a shade of light blue that looks different in every stinking picture of it. So to me, it’s the Area-51 of Sofa’s.
In other words, I can’t tell what color the damned thing is or whether I’ll even like it...
