Mike responded again but still may be misspeaking about the 4door.
So I've replied a 3rd time showing him the actual order guide and the section @ThunderSquatch posted. Since our dealers will be using that and not any of the communication Ford has sent out.
I agree with you...
Absolutely! I'm looking at the BD as well, but hearing this news is making me seriously consider the Base now.
I asked Mike about the order guide containing errors as well. Hoping he clarifies there too! Will keep everyone posted if he does respond again. However, I'm thinking his response...
*UPDATE*
Mike twittered back at me today with an update and clarification. Sad day boys and girls. But I kind of felt like this was going to come. Wanted to share with anyone that was still following.
So Ford sent out an email yesterday containing the following text:
•
Sasquatch™ Package...
I'm with you 100% regarding the order guide being the ultimate authority for options and information. However, I think Ford has already admitted to an error or two within the order guide. (pull out tail-gate?), so I guess I am holding onto hope that they messed up this part of the order guide...
I'm conflicted as this was sent in the email to us earlier from Ford:
•
Sasquatch™ Package expands: now available on Bronco two- and four-door Base, Big Bend,™ Black Diamond™, and Badlands™ series with manual transmission.
I'm not sure if they are implying that the MT is now extended to...
After a little more digging, there MIGHT be a possibility to add the Mid pkg to the BD trim. Let me explain my theory:
The MY22 order guide for the Big Bend trim states that the Equipment Group 222A (Mid Pkg for Big Bend) is NOT AVAILABLE under the MT section. However, it also has the section...
I'm staying a tad bit reserved still. The MY22 order guide still shows the 4 door standard with 10 spd AT. It says explicitly 7 SPD MT is not available on ALL 4-door options and lists both order codes.
Unfortunately, there isn't anything in the Sasquatch Package description that includes MT...
Again, (and I'm assuming at this point since you haven't provided much information about your order or conversations with the dealership), if you had a DUAL or MOD top on your FE order, your order was 99'd. After that, if you never told your dealer you wanted to switch to the available MIC top...
OK, well, what was your current status when you spoke to them two weeks ago?
I'm curious because it sounds like you were under the impression your FE was going to be built, and now you feel blindsided by this update. I'm also curious if you ever updated your roof like the email asks that...
When was the last time you spoke with your dealer before they sent this communication to you?
Like others have said, if you were going for a different top, you were 99'd, which ultimately means "don't build." If you never told them you wanted to switch, you stayed that way.
If you hadn't...
I reserved Feb 2021 and placed my order on March 19, 2021, with Five Star Ford in NRH. Mike has been great and has quickly responded to every single email I've sent. Happy with placing my reservation here.
Mike just sent out some communication, so check your email if you haven't already! He...
