No. What Albert is saying is that reservation holders can order in December. Ford will then collect all the orders and sort them by reservation time stamp. They will then start building in March/April (logistics may make them shuffle build order slightly but should be pretty close to...
The best financial advise my dad gave me was: do not buy anything that you cannot pay for with cash that day. Exceptions to this rule are big purchases like homes and cars (and hopefully cars come off the list as you get older). Simple rule, but effective.
Extra tidbit of knowledge a lot of...
Dakota Pricer (Internet Sales). I originally had contact with both Derek and Dakota when I first asked about pricing about a month ago. I think they are both Internet Sales people.
I've talked with Dave Arbogast a few times. In a follow-up, I provided a link to the Stephens Plan. Here was their reply:
That's certainly great that you were able to find a dealer that's already guaranteeing pricing prior to even knowing their own costs. Certainly a risk on their end, but...
Reservation # (or place in line) stays the same.

I agree with your sentiment, but I think these two dealerships are serving different geographical locations. There is only so far you can be away from the dealer before any savings is nullified with travel/shipping expenses.
There will be some overlap. I'm 650 miles from Granger and 200...
Dang, I just realized you are only 200 miles away. New dilemma: rent cheap car to drive to Danville; stay the night to clear system of bad taint of cheap car; enjoy leisurely 200 mile drive back in Bronco or, fly to Granger and spend 2-3 days enjoying leisurely 600 mile drive in new Bronco.
I...
My guess (from doing some measuring on the sideview from the colorizer) is roughly 48". Best guess is 45-46" wide? That would give you roughly 65-66" diagonal. Even if it's square (45"x45"), the diagonal would be 63.5"
Here's a post I made with my guess-timate...it used 22" for the depth of...
I think it was more a dealer issue 'forwarding' the reservation from the manager to the salesman than a Ford issue. The info from Ford that the manager saw said Bronco -- they told me that was the important one. I have a couple of other reservations with other dealers (this was before the...
This happened to me. The sales guy said the reservation info he had was for sport but the sales manager's page said Bronco. They asked which was it supposed to be, so that they could correct the record.
Or better???? Someone plays the forum game well :) I will be checking this thread for updates 10 times a day even though you clearly said Monday or Tuesday...almost like Ford saying the B&P tool will be ready soon. Wait, is it time to go check that again? :LOL:
I grabbed this off the Iowa DOT page under In-transit Permits:
Vehicles purchased from a dealer by a nonresident. This allows the nonresident to drive the vehicle to the buyer's home state for any required titling and registration.
Here is my *expert* analysis tied with elite GIMP skillz....:LOL: (watch out world!)
Using the wheel base as 100", I was able to estimate the other measurements. First, I added the 22" for the cargo area (I think that is the best estimate we have so far). Second, I drew the seat back in red...
I don't want to burst your bubble. I too am getting a 2-dr, but....
Those measurements for the 5 qt is for a 3 pack. So one of those dimensions needs to be divided by 3. I'm guessing it's the 13". In the image, it looks like there are 2 of the single quarts in a line...so about 10". That...
To confirm this, you should be able to measure from the side-view from tailgate to wheel well, parallel with cargo floor, maybe?? (since rear seats in 4-DR are right in front of wheel well)
Cargo volume for 2-DR behind rear seat is 23.6 ft^3; cargo volume for 4-DR behind rear seat is 35.6 ft^3. That means the 4-DR has 50% more cargo space than the 2-DR.
At most, the 4-DR cargo length will be 1.5*(2-DR cargo length). But I think it would be less than 1.5* because the increased...
