I would not worry about it right now. Carpet is likely to be a standalone option. All they released are the packaging options. We know there are 200+ “accessories“ and I would bet carpet is one of them.
Fair enough and I agree that sucks. Ford designed an awesome truck and has had a pretty disastrous roll out. The other guys is right though, those just don’t sell very well. I’ll be with him in my lux’d out Bronco listening to my B&O but I feel your frustration.
There is also a Ford Performance Lift and 37s on another truck. I’m sure you can get a Badlands and just add the wheels and tires if you want. Same things a Sasquatch and still under warranty.
Yeah I don’t need MTs. I’ll probably stick with the KO2s. I don’t see myself getting into a situation where I wish I had the 35s. Well maybe parking next to another Bronco with them. It’s going to be a tall ass truck so I don’t want to worry about getting into parking garages with it.
I hope you’re right. There is no denying that doing it this way will cost dealers money on the FE, particular their high volume dealers. I don’t see that sitting well them. I went for a Badlands so shouldn’t be an issue for me. Just hoping for the best for the rest of you guys!
Is that true? The reservation form says it doesn’t guarantee you a Bronco. I’m guessing the dealers will be pissed if their allocation is based on random internet orders and not sales allocations like everything else?
I haven’t even thought about owning a Ford before so I know little about the dealer network. Any good dealers in SoCal? Not just for buying but for service and to actually deal with on an ongoing basis. It was a nightmare finding a non-terrible Jeep dealer and I would like to avoid that pain...
I mean if I order a Tesla I configure it, pay that price, and it shows up at my house. I have a bad feeling dealers will be trying to get over MSRP for reservation holders, especially on FEs, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.
I won’t pretend to understand the IT issues in detail but there is no way this should have happened. Its super common to take preorders at scale these days. I agree that the dealer handshake but seemed to kill it.
Oh well, mine finally went through although not for a FE. Don’t let this dampen...
