Lol.
Last time I heard that, there were no customers in the dealership while the entire sales team was too distracted playing angry birds on their phones.
Name the dealer.
Hi RagnarKon, thank for putting this together. One thought, the current flow chart is:
Should it be order or reservation as of Sept 9, 2022? E.g.
Then the actual order date also had to be before closing of the MY23 order bank, of course. Which was something like mid-November 2022.
I don't think the Golden Ticket is an on-going thing anymore. Ford was directly selecting customers based on those who showed interest via reservations. It seems to be more along the line of dealership allocation at this point. Maybe it'll come back, idk.
Yes, you'd ask the dealer(s). I did at...
They limited the order bank for the initial set of Raptors and only a select number of interested individuals were allowed to participate. Those selected received an invite to order ... the golden ticket.
I have the T/A KO2 on a non-Bronco truck and they've been great (C rating). Minimal road noise once they are broken in with enough bite to make any seasonal challenges a non-issue. Probably not the best for regular off-road adventures but also not the worst.
Customer: I would like to order my Bronco
Dealer: Ok. The price is MSRP + our magical ADM.
Customer: No thanks.
Dealer: Ok. How about MSRP?
Customer: Perfect. That works.
Dealer: Great.
Dealer: Please sign here.
Customer: What am I signing?
Dealer: You, being a guest here, are being provided...

Imagine the argument, after ownership has been transferred, that the buyer paid the asking MSRP but somehow the dealer has some other magical market value adjustment that they can collect upon their determination ...

Not the first time I've received a weird, seemingly out-of-place, and contradictory email from Ford. You'd think, though, if they knew that there was an issue they'd email out a correction statement to those affected.
But no. Here we are once again. Years in the making. Convenient in timing to...
Seems so. Should be a pretty straightforward task.
I hesitate to imagine what else is going on within the bowels of Ford when it comes to procurement and scheduling.
I think it is, the reservation number matches the order number on the Ford site ... which also matches the PP certificate. Even called Ford to verify that the dealer had the order entered. Wonder if they set it to priority 99 or something? The tracker seems to indicate that it's normal at the...
