Indeed it would be nice to not just be abandoned to figure this crap out on a message board. Even if the message board is cool, it's completely irresponsible, unprofessional, and incompetent of Ford (and the dealerships) NOT to provide plain instructions and information.
I called Ford twice and neither rep knew. My 21 order was converted to 22 automatically because the same options were available. So it just rolled.
Now, at least per the rumors, Area 51 color won't be available for 23 models, so we will be triggered to re-order. Not sure what this means, and...
Right. 2023 here a lot of us come, having no clue when or where a Bronco might automagically appear in our stockings.
Meanwhile, I have an F-150 with 150,000 miles that is falling the hell apart. Oil leak, transmission shudder, fourth broken windshield, back sliding windshield track literally...
Unfortunately, I don't trust either one. But yeah, I got two different answers from Ford reps by calling the same number in a span of 20 minutes. So, this being the first time today that I've called Ford, and getting two different answers on a very simple question took my trust in Ford from a...
Thanks for the link! I'm not terribly worried about a $500-$1,250 increase, but that link was helpful.
It will be interesting to see if I get price protection or the "retail price protection" for the 22-23 conversion.
Either is probably better than going to a dealer and trying to haggle when...
The non-refundable deposit part sounds horrible, IMHO. If, through no fault of your own, they never make the dang thing, the dealer just gets to keep your $1,000? Meh. I wouldn't take that deal.
Ford's FAQ section says:
"What does it mean if I placed a reservation after March 19, 2021, or placed an order without a reservation after March 19, 2021?
If you fall into either of these categories, it means that you do not qualify for the Bronco Price Protection Program. The cutoff for that...
While they didn't have any information about my order's build date, ("It's not scheduled yet." - no kidding?) - they DID provide some interesting answers to questions I had about re-order pricing.
I was told - for what it's worth - by the gentleman at Ford, that Ford is reimbursing dealers for...
Interesting. I talked to Ford twice today, calling the number in their email, and spoke to two different gentlemen (I had to call back because I didn't have my order number, and they won't pull it up based on an email address or phone number, etc). One said the 8th and one said the 21st, for...
Some certainty would be nice. I just talked to a gentleman at Ford and he said (hopefully he has correct information) that if my order isn't selected to be built by this Thursday (the 8th), that we're looking at a 23 model. Meaning we will need to pick a new color if it's true Area 51 isn't...
If everyone left them alone, they'd be let go! I'd hate to be responsible for someone losing their job! ;) Had to hang up and call back - I realized I'd never received my order number, so I had to call the dealership to get it.
I received the "your model might be a 23 year model - stay tuned for more information" email today at 1:13 CST. That was the FIRST email I've had from Ford about my order since I placed the order over a year ago (ignoring the emails advertising Bronco events and whatnot).
I got an email from my dealership today because I emailed them last night for an update - they sent back a three paragraph response which boils down to "we don't know what's going on".
I JUST NOW received an email from Ford and I'm on hold with Ford now trying to get additional information...
