I have zero experience in removable top vehicles, but will something like the GearShade top (https://www.gearshade.com/products/bronco-gearshade-tops/) actually keep out water? Or do you mean a top more substantial than that mesh?
It would have been nice to get the MIC, but I wasn't playing any additional games.
I picked this dealer specifically because I was going to be very high up on their list because they didn't have a lot of Bronco orders, and they had a good number of allocations. That imbalance was what I meant...
I'm sure this is exactly how it works, but if I could provide something for the TLDR crowd:
The first thing that matters is how many vehicles your dealer moves, then how many orders your dealer has in front of you that are buildable given what we all have heard about constraints.
My example...
That sucks. I really want Ford to succeed here (even though I question whether they can, I'm still rooting for them). I love what they are trying to do. I just wish that they could get out of their own way. And that most of their dealers would stop holding them back.
On Friday I got an email from my dealer letting me know I was scheduled for the week of 5/23. I haven't seen a thread here yet, anyone else get this build week?
Nevermind, I'm not good at searching.
Here it is: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/5-23-build-week.39400
I've recently started seeing a bunch more over the last week or two here in the Atlanta area. I think most days I'll see one. There are a couple that I see regularly. However last week, just on the way taking my kids to swim team, I saw 3 in like 15 minutes.
Definitely getting more common. That...
On Friday my dealer emailed me that I was scheduled for 5/23. It feels like I just squeaked into this build cycle. I didn't see a thread for the 5/23 week. Any chance this is just another BS dealer line, or do you think it is legit?
We don't have twins, but we had 2 rear facing car seats for a while, so I know the frustration. That said, you can always figure it out. When our boys were that young, my wife had a BMW 3 series wagon and my car was an 88 BMW 3 series 2 door. Not big cars.
It's all possible with some...
In case anyone was still interested, I ended up placing my order on 24 January with Five Star Ford in Stone Mountain. I just got notified today that I have a build date of 5/23. Still no word at all on my other order with SAC.
Indeed. I don't mean to imply that they care about our fate, but in taking a long term view, they care about how the company is run and how well it can execute its core business. And the Bronco rollout failures inform that view. If the F-150 Lightning has the same fiasco, then I think you will...
I'm right there with you, except for saying that this will be the last Ford I ever purchase. I'm still not even clear if I'm going to ever get this one, and I could see myself picking up a used Ranger in a few years for some light truck duty.
What has me most concerned is the epic levels of...
I'm interested in the assumptions and logic behind those that are jumping from the Bronco to.....the Ranger? Why would you stay with Ford? Why do you think they will be better at building Rangers than they are Broncos?
Personally, I may get a '23 4Runner if I don't have a build by the summer or...
I'm not an automotive engineer, but I think the answer is no, and that starting in first would only make things worse from a slippage perspective.
Electric motors (generally) develop almost all of their max torque from 0 RPMs. Not quite the exact opposite of a ICE motor, but very different.
In...
The power numbers on that are really low compared to most electric vehicles. Everything about that sounds like the worst of both worlds. I get liking to shift on your own (both of my daily drivers are sticks)...but in an electric car its just more work for no good reason. The engine won't...
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Of course that makes complete sense seeing what we have about how this all plays out. I think that if I was a less naive new car buyer and had a deeper understanding of how the dealership system works, I wouldn't have repeatedly worked against myself by...
This is interesting to me. My July 20th reservation (still not scheduled or anything) wasn't selected for a Raptor. I wonder what they used to determine who gets a Raptor.
There is no pleasing some people. You don't see the fenders when you are driving it. Certainly not the rear ones. If I can get my hands on one I'll drive the absolute piss out of it!
