Perhaps try contacting Ford customer service. The dealers are taking a risk if they give the MY22.5 price protection. Ford decides if the price protection applies and doesn't make that decision until a number of weeks after the purchase. Some dealers have been burned when they gave the discount...
I'm guessing the 4K markup was not disclosed when you placed your order, and that you only found out about it near the time of delivery? aka Surprise ADM. If so, that is pure BS and you should out the dealer on the Hall of Shame...
Seem like you ought to be able to fit luggage for 2 people for a week plus a dog into a 2 door with little problem. In your "departure pic", the back isn't even close to full. If you are trying to bring enough gear for overlanding, it might get a little more difficult.
I have probably purchased a dozen Fords from Phil Long Denver plus they easily sold that many through recommendations I made to friends and family. Never again. Early on, I asked about pricing hoping for a discount because Phil Long had always given me below MSRP. When I mentioned other dealers...
This problem is there are too many people that can't handle the truth so everything has to be filtered. If you tell someone their Bronco is sitting in a railyard somewhere with no specific plan yet on when it will be shipped to the next staging point, folks will complain about that. If you tell...
@RockCrawler*_81 This thread has a lot of good advice:

Thanks. This is very helpful. The dealer has said their process is to charge sticker and refund the money when Ford sends it. This is their process for the cert and the price protection. Sounds like they have encountered instances when they didn't get the expected refund. Seems like Ford ought...
The dealer has said I will need to pay what is on the window sticker, which is MY22.5 pricing, and then I will get a price protection refund from the dealer after Ford sends it to the dealer. Does that sound correct? Trying to make sure I understand how the MY22 to MY22.5 portion of the price...
I had my dealer pull the certificates from Smart Vincent. I have two reservations/orders. It showed both certs for PGM#38406. However, it didn't show any certs for PGM#38446. Who should I contact to get this figured out? My dealer doesn't seem to know much about this. He said this was the first...
You can go through a set of pads pretty quick on a long slow mountain decent. You should be downshifting whether you driving an MT or AT in this situation.
According to this video:
HOW TO COMPLETE THE PRICE PROTECTION ON AN ORDERED VEHICLE
from @FordVideoGuy, the dealer needs to enter the protection date into the smart vincent system. For my order, the key dates would be:
July 28, 2020 - Reservation date
Mar 19, 2021 - Must reserve or order by this...
