I didn't factor in $1000 per order but I'll just call another dealer. Fck 'em. It's every man for himself time.
I've had three wranglers over the years, all highly modified and frankly I am tired of the mod process. I just wanted highly optioned highly capable OEM vehicle - like the Bronco...
So like many others, I put deposit down Summer 2020 and ordered my vehicle last winter (Badsquatch, 4 door, soft top, Area 51, nothing else) and here I sit. Dealer said based on their orders there are ~75 vehicles yet to be delivered in front of me. He guessed early summer 2022 delivery for me...
If I'm an executive at Ford I don't feel this way at all. I believe their thinking to be - I'm selling you a massively in demand ~$50,000 vehicle that is worth ~$70,000 on the open market. However long you have to wait for it, so be it and you're welcome for the $20,000 gift.
