Why the FUCK are people getting NEW 2022 Bronco orders built and delivered, while those of us who reserved and ordered over a YEAR AGO still don't have shit?!!!
GODDAMN IT FORD, can you possibly think of any more ways to FUCK UP?
I ordered first day. Still ain't got shit.
No Vin, no build sheet, no expected build date - not a damn thing.
You'd think a 2 door, Base Bronco, would be easy to build...guess they're using all the parts for mine on everyone else's builds (who ordered MONTHS after I did....)
So, what's the over/under on how soon they start showing up on eBay for a couple hundred bucks?
I betcha I can go through a few closets, kitchen drawers, look under the couch cushions, and come up with a better selection than that.
"One forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition...
If GM would come out with a REAL Blazer (LS V8, Silverado based, stick available, removable hardtop) for under 40K and could deliver within 8 weeks, I'd be pretty damn tempted.
News flash:
Nobody CARES how much a dealer pays. They just care how much THEY have to pay.
They also don't care HOW the dealer got them, or where they got them from.
The REAL problem is that Broncos are sitting on dealer lots and in showrooms with HUGE markups on them, instead of in...
When you say you "checked the fuse", which one do you mean? The 5 amp fuse marked F65 to upfitter relay 6 in the diagram above?
That fuse is on the LOAD side of the relay, not the control side. The switches could be on either the ground side or the power side of the relay control circuit, they...
It's about damn time they closed down new orders.
Ford never should have started accepting new 2022 orders until all the original, early 2021 orders were built.
Should have done this MONTHS ago. In fact, no new 2022 orders should have been accepted until the EXISTING 2021 orders had been built, or at the very least scheduled for production.
When you're stuck at the bottom of a hole, rule #1 is - stop digging it deeper.
If the ad has no picture, they ain't got it.
If the ad has a "stock" photo (even photoshopped into their parking lot, or a train yard, etc), they ain't got it.
If the ad has numerous pictures - exterior, interior, etc - maybe they got it, maybe not. Probably not - "it just sold", "got someone...
Remember, when you get to about 95% finished building it, you've got to take it out to the backyard and let it sit there, in the mud, rain, snow, etc for a few weeks, then take the scenic route - all the way around yard, through the garage, maybe a trip or two around the block, leave it on the...
You know, if GM would come out with a REAL Blazer (based on full size Silverado, 400 hp LS V8, manual trans option, removable top)....I'd have to think long and hard about making the switch.
Not a Wrangler fan.
So many thousands of us STILL waiting, while Ford is throwing out new special editions like Oprah ("YOU get a Raptor! and YOU get an Everglades! and YOU get a...."), dealers have Broncos on thier lots marked up with huge ADM's....Ford doesn't give a fuck about customers.
CUSTOMERS reserved Broncos online, on the Ford website.
CUSTOMERS ordered their Broncos online, on the Ford website.
CUSTOMERS put down deposits on those orders online.
DEALERS are receiving the Broncos that CUSTOMERS reserved, and ordered, and put deposits on, and holding them hostage for...
That is fucking COOL.
I would remove the oval and the Bronco badge from the tailgate, and find someway to emboss FORD into the rear face, on the passenger side. Folding plate holder on the driver side. Integrate rear view camera into tailgate handle bezel. Recess the tailight lenses so they're...
Ford should repo those Broncos from the dealers, look up the earliest reservation/order holder that ordered vehicles at or close to those configurations, and deliver them, AT MSRP, to those customers.
Then, turn around and fine the dealers for whatever amount of ADM they were trying to charge.
