Unfortunately, B&P did not help much. I was hoping to build out my model and go back to Cochran to finalize pricing offer. But I have a FE and hoping they give more interior options. I usually wouldn't really care, but it is so bad. And I think there will be more options added to B&P from...
I understand the complaints about this, but I’m an FE reservation holder and what it means to me is they’re lining up to have mine built early. If you look at Bronco Sport forum, the FE people seem to be getting their VINs first. So yes, I have less customization, but I’m happy that it at...

My hope is that Cochran will step up and be interested in picking up switches locally with a decent offer. But I need the B&P before going back. It'll be interesting to see what the local dealers do once we have our actual build and they know we can switch.
At least we'll now be able to price out what we want and get a dealer commitment. Being that they're clearly trying to make First Edition stand alone, I'm not confident that I'll get a Stephen's-like deal. And I don't trust the allocation process to switch to them. Though I do have a really...
Yeah, sorry about that. I had some early insight that the bigger dealers were going to push back on the smaller dealers' plans. Seems as though it had an impact. It's all going to be luck at this point anyway. I had a reservation 3 minutes in, so I feel somewhat confident I'll get early...
Wow! It's amazing how different dealers respond reading B6G. I mentioned last month that I likely wouldn't switch to a Stephens/Granger dealer due to fear around allocations, but honestly that's just a personal preference and it makes sense in a lot of ways. I also think it's good to reward...
Just wondering what everyone has decided to do about dealers. I'm still waiting for B&P, then going back to my Cochran contact to finalize what they'll do. Hopefully B&P comes out this week which gives us 2 weeks to confirm with dealers.
Talk about beating a dead horse....I know this has been discussed enough, but I'm still not convinced...Ford is not Tesla. There is an allocation process that occurs. Reservations will be filled in as close to when received as possible. That doesn't eliminate the allocation process in my...
@VictoryLights Yes. I think people are thinking Tesla process, and that is not what’s going to happen. There is an independent dealer network still, and they can’t get around it. Granger has been fantastic on this site, and Stephens was great to put it out there in writing. I’m just going to...
Don’t Do It! Though it is a wrap. Talked the wife into a matte finish for her Land Rover. Looks insane, but can’t wash it normally and she got a door ding that is impossible to fix.
Outside of the Cochran discussion, based on my discussions I've had I will not be changing to any group buying dealership until more information comes out. Just my opinion, but I fully believe that there will be a traditional allocation based process to this that ties into the reservations...
Hey All, We were able to get a response from Cochran. They said they'll do the best they can to work with anyone that wants to use Cochran. They just feel like there are some unanswered questions from Ford before they can commit to anything. We've agreed to stay in touch over the next couple...
