Dozens of Ford F-150 Lightning Pile Up at Dearborn Test Track, the Problem Is Too Familiar - autoevolution

agreed.

I've spoken to enough of them to know that they tend to wing it in an attempt to pacify us. different reps give different stories non of which are plausible.

Been calling around dealerships looking for an abandoned order. There's a lot of shady activity out there. Lots of very low mileage (couple hundred miles) "Used" Broncos with 20K markups. Some others listed as NEW but really Used. Looks like attempts to circumvent MSRP, and justify marking up...

me too test drove a wrangler and defender...both 3-6 MO wait times

Its hard to botch no messaging. That's the genius of their silence.

None of it makes much sense, since all the new EDD are just the old EDD+90 days. What are the odds that they sequenced them all exactly on that schedule.

they are trained. they're job is to just listen to us vent and shield mgmt. when they ad lib and deviate from the "no information" they get caught. I'm thinking about ordering all of the of individual parts and assembling my own bronco
