Their big lie was saying production would be in rough reservation order. That is no longer true as they added a dealer allocation formula to the mix. So you may get your Bronco in rough reservation order but if your reservation is with a dealer that doesn’t have allocation you won’t. That is...

Where is all the class speculation coming from? Does the video actually say it’s based on staying in a class vs. the engineered GVWR?

The video won’t play on either my IOS iphone or iPad. Somehow that makes sense to me.

I think the Ford suggestion will be you can hook a rope to it and pull it, just can’t have a receiver hitch.

Yes, they can now move on to how to get a tow package onto the $65K flagship 4 door. But of course in a future model year.

That seems very reasonable on a $65k FE. For “legal” reasons Ford can’t put the tow package on for you - but good news, you can end around and DYI! Perfectly safe - we just can’t say it (psst it’s for legal reasons)!

You must have worked at some laid back, laissez faire companies - like Ford!

Exactly! No other manufacturer has a B&P that actually matches the Dealer’s information when you go to order! Oh, wait a minute... maybe that is the other way around.

The thing that looks and sounds like it was put together by BN with non PC phrases like “granny gear”? I‘m not surprised that document had errors but it is very surprising that Ford would have used that as the basis for B&P. Note I use the term ”surprised“ to reflect my opinion of Ford 6...

To think that Ford intended to included a ”free” $1,595 auto transmission in a $1,495 Mid Package on a vehicle that is likely sold out for a year’s production defies all logic. Ford screwed up the B&P (bad and somewhat hard to believe, but not the end of world if they had just fessed up)...

Bottom line there are two big sources for reliability information — Consumer Reports and JD Powers. CR says first year models do exhibit more problems than subsequent years. JD says that first year models of recent years do not have more issues ON AVERAGE (which is a pretty important...

@gryphon1231 is going to be steamed when he does check his credit card statement.

I find it incredibly sad, because America once ruled the automotive world, but not one of the companies that were called the Big 3, has been thought of as a World Class Company in many decades.

If Ford needs top executIves to catch the kind of pricing mistakes they let go live then we are in a lot of trouble. Pretty much every aspect of designing and producing a vehicle is harder than the proofing required to catch “free auto transmissions for everyone (almost)!”

Absolutely it’s good, which I said. Does it ensure Bronco‘s or F-150’s won’t have quality issues - no way! Only time will tell. The good news is that even the bottom players in reliability (which Ford is) are generally not all that bad (grading is on a bell curve) and all manufacturers have...

Is something in the first article inaccurate? All vehicle product launches don’t involve thousands of early production vehicles being stored offsite for fixes. Does it happen sometimes? Sure, but its far from expected if the launch goes well. Does it happen to Ford and GM more than Toyota...

These trucks are not pre-production. Pre-production are never sold. These are early production trucks going to dealers and then end consumers.

You are incorrect. Look at your credit card statement - all deposit’s are held by the dealer you selected.

Is that what you also thought about the $1,595 Auto transmission included for “Free” with the $1,495 Mid Package?

Can’t have your Cake and eat it too, apparently. I think what you’re doing is P&M’ing about something that, to you, is OK to P&M about. Kettle meet Pot.
