I was wondering if the nav removal could be a temporary thing due to the chip shortage and this is one of the chips they will ship Broncos without and add later. I don’t see any changes around nav in the B&P.
Over the years, I have purchased Fords from 3 different locals. (None of them would commit to price for the Bronco.) All of them were unfamiliar to me for my first purchase. By your logic, nobody should ever be a first time Ford buyer because you can't be familiar with any Ford dealers on your...
I have never paid MSRP for a vehicle and have made a couple of purchases at well under invoice. The coming impact of supply chain issues were not understood at the time we were placing orders. Ford was still saying that timestamps would be a primary factor. What part of this was obviously too...
Let's kill this myth. No need to feel sorry for dealers. They are making record profits.

Call me crazy, but it seems like Ford should be communicating this information directly to reservation holders. Or is the expectation that all reservations holders diligently monitor b6g for any important news?
Ford is going to keep MAP producing as many Broncos as possible. No way will they stop producing buildable Broncos in order to save parts for parts constrained Broncos.
Currently, Ford has a pull model where dealers tell Ford what they want. This is true even for dealer stock. Time will tell...
Did they learn from this or do they just want the 1 star reviews removed so they can do this to the next person who likely is not aware of the power of b6g?
Ford probably wanted to the reservation cost low so that they could get a lot of reservations and impress Wall Street. However, Ford wasn't prepared to deal with the consequences.
I would put dealer fake reservations in a different category than true dealer stock. Ford doesn't necessarily know they are building a fake reservation so that is a poor reflection on the dealer alone.
At least one dealer is reporting that they are getting dealer stock although it sounds fairly...
I don't think we know for certain since Ford hasn't said anything. However:
Ford has announced a chip shortage.
It makes sense that Ford would fill a couple of lots with Broncos (sans chips) before idling MAP since that is similar to what they did with the F-150 last year.
I see no evidence of...
