Better then my July 14. 2020 BaseSquatch reservation and still no VIN. Frankly, I donāt think they are going to building it In 2022. Reservation time stamps no longer mean a thing and Iām at a small dealer. Ford couldnāt possibly be more dishonest with their communications. Remember when it...
This is a toy not a daily driver for me. It will look good next to my 1967 Bronco and fill the gap between my Range Rover daily driver and the old bronco. I can use it off road with capability and comfort and still drive it to the trails without losing my hearing.
That said, a Rubicon will...
This reinforces what might be the only truthful thing my dealer told me early on... āthere will be very few 2021 broncos deliveredā. At this point I have excepted the fact that my 7/14 2-door reservation is going to get delivered sometime in the spring of 2022.
It is just unbelievable that...
People/companyās often have two reasons for doing something.... a good reason and the real reason. No doubt that there are some supply chain issues (good reason) but I seriously doubt that they canāt work their way down the reservation list to a buildable order. Of course doing so might mean...
Except that you did make your reservation with the dealer. It might have been on Fordās website but the reservation is with the dealer. As one of my favorite business school professorās always said, āyour customer is the person who pays you.ā We pay the dealer and the dealer pays Ford...
It is important to remember that we are not Fordās customer. The dealerships are Fordās customer. That is who pays them and that is ultimately who they care about making happy. When you get your head around that then all the BS starts to make sense. Trust me, I donāt like it either.
The entire reservation system is a fraud. of course a dealer will burn an allocation for a dealer stock unit. He is going to get 10k markup on it and still has the reservation holderās order on his books for future revenue. The biggest issue is that we are not Fordās customer. The dealer is...
The fact that they are producing dealer inventory before reservations speaks volumes about their priorities. The tops are fiberglass it canāt be that difficult to make them. Buy a fucking hot tub manufacturer. Hell, Iāll start company dedicated to making bronco tops. This is a solvable...
I have literally stopped caring. Bronco6g used to be a open tab on my web browser but now I only check in every few days. Ford has managed to take all the fun out of this with their poor communication, priority orders and playing favorites with dealerships. The reservation system means very...
This is why I'm getting a BaseSquatch and will have katzkin leather seat covers installed. I only need to cover the front two seats because I plan on removing the back seat. All of the interior plastics feel cheap and hard no matter which trim you get.
You are spot on with this. Ford clearly considers the Dealers their customers and not the consumer. I am surprised and a little disgusted at how this has unfolded. Why have a reservation system when the timestamp is the least important data point.
