In the spirit of Xmas, this ethically-challenged dealership went back to the well once again. It wasn't enough they hijacked our original 2021 reservations and turned them into orders without our consent; this time, they ordered a Bronco in OUR name---without our knowledge or consent. You go...
just saw my window sticker for the 2 door is up. outer banks is such a good bargain. i wanted the advanced 4wd, high pkg, and roast interior to go with rapid red. my gut feeling is that ford has a lot of bugs and supply constraints fixed. i have no data, but when october production figures...
susan,
yes, ditched the factory wheels (yuk!).
changed to 17 inch Recons. does not have squatch.
wheels and tires were expensive, i'm thinking $3000 range.
has the 4wp level kit (2" front, 1" rear) on 34.4" K02 tires. no rub issues.
jay (granger), service mgr was willing to give $500 for the 5...
This!
"you're another victim in the dealer shenanigans"
sherminiator; why i, and others, went with Granger; integrity matters

Nobody can manufacture anything like pancakes right now. There will likely be major constraints for 22 as well. You blame who you want to, and I'll blame who I want to but it won't change anything.

"right now", is not 2022
"will likely be", is conjecture, not fact; what factual information do you have that Ford will not be at full production jan 2022?
"You blame"; blame is not in my post, or even relevant to the post
your response to my post reeks of superficiality
THIS above; yes!
somebody explain why Ford cannot build and deliver EVERY reserved/ordered bronco on the books in 2022, assuming they are at full production jan 2022, say 10k/month. 120k broncos in 2022. Ford should simply build and deliver as promised. then after they get those original...
scott,
agreed, though inadvertently (how strange is that), and except for the p....off part. i shouldn't have anything to complain about. at least 40k people reserved broncos ahead of me, yet i received (august--Granger) one of the first few thousand built (how lucky is that). i am more upset...
time is a funny thing. as you were writing this (and i hadn't seen it yet), i was addending my post. please see my addendum. i had no idea you had posted comments re; the Granger situtation. and again, it doesn't matter--i would still have sent an email to the dealer on your behalf. my...
this email sent to dealer; (i don't do twittle, tic-tac, spacebook, myface, instantgram, etc.)
"A fellow Bronco enthusiast has posted that he has been waylaid by the dealership.
The Bronco he reserved in 2020, and ordered 2021, and the one he has been waiting on for 15 months; has now been...
Yes! How do the anti-Granger folks spin this one?
It must be Sherminiator's fault for trusting this dealer. Sorry bub, he should have known integrity is a lost art. He should have known that the dealer was going to ffff... him, just like he should have understood the allocation game, and...
Brock,
Granger reservist here. Bear with me, long story.
Timeline;
Ford enthusiast predicts the reincarnation of the bronco and starts enthusiast forum years ago.
July 2020, Ford introduces new bronco;
Says; reserve bronco, choose any dealer, some day you get a new bronco, based on timestamp...
Exactly! and on the opposite side of this; this was a chance for Ford to attract new customers. i have never bought a new Ford; yet i have 4 to Granger (1 bronco delivered, one coming this Fall, one october reservation coming in 2024-5, and one lightning). this whole sordid affair with Ford...
it is irrelevant what is equitable for the dealers. what is relevant is that Ford set up the reservation system by time stamp order. we did not create the system, and the dealers did not create the system. Ford says sign up for your Bronco at ANY DEALER you choose. Ford did not say sign up...
zach,
thanks to this forum, we have seen over the past year that ford kept changing the game to favor the crying big boys, with their bullshit reservation hijacks, reindealer games, market adjustments and ADMs, to the detriment of the smaller dealers like granger. i get it. ford will appease...
