Amazing original barn-find survivor find. Not my choice of colors, but pretty loaded - XLT Lariat, 4x4, A/C, cruise control, etc. Basically the equivalent of a current King Ranch Super...
STOP ANY NEW Bronco orders.
ANY parts available go towards building existing, early reservations/orders - in time stamp order.
All Broncos that have been built but not sold (TO AN INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMER - NOT A DEALER) yet - match with existing orders. Earliest reservation/order gets right of...
OK, I'll play.
I WILL get the 2 door, Carbonized Gray, 2.7/Auto, BaseSquatch I reserved back in July 2020, and ordered Janurary 2021, and ordered AGAIN for 2022....someday.
If I find an identically equipped Bronco for sale somewhere before the one I ordered shows up, I just might buy...
Tamiya is taking reservations now. You'll be able to place an order sometime later this year.
Months will go by and you won't hear anything, but random trinkets will show up in the mail from time to time. The delays will be attributed to everything from a "chip shortage" to problems with the...
Full digital gauge cluster from Ford Escape swap into Maverick (mavericktruckclub.com)
Owner Plugs Ford Escape Dash Into Base Maverick And It Works (jalopnik.com)
That got me thinking - since the Bronco and Ranger are built on the same platform (even the same assembly line), and share a lot of...
No, it's not.
It would be awesome if Ford built and delivered the 2021 Broncos that a few thousand of us reserved and ordered over a YEAR ago, BEFORE they started on the 2022's.
It would be awesome if they stopped taking orders for 2022's until they build all the existing 2021 orders that have...
Yep, one year ago (365 days, or 12 months, or 52 weeks, however you want to count it), on Jan 20th, 2021, I (and quite a few other people) placed an order for a 2021 Bronco. Well, 2021 has come and gone, and we're well into 2022, and still no Bronco. No VIN. No "scheduled build date". Nada. Zip...
I second that motion.
A "Bronco" is a 2 door.
A 4 door is a "soccer mom Bronco limo".
A "Bronco Sport" is not a Bronco at all, it's a Flex dressed up like a Bronco.
WE are Ford's customers.
WE are the ones who reserved our Broncos.
WE are the ones who ordered our Broncos.
WE are the ones who made deposits on our Broncos.
WE are the ones who will pay for the Broncos WE ordered.
WE don't give a DAMN about "dealer allocations," or ADM, or "parts...
Yep, and it's HUGE. I grew up in Kingsville, just east of the King Ranch. It's big, but it's south Texas, which means it's scrub brush, mesquite, and lots of cactus. Not much to look at.
If (when) someone steps up and files a class action lawsuit against Ford for promising, lying, caving in to dealers, building new 2020 orders while thousands of original 2021 orders are ignored, and just plain fucking up everything they possibly could, I'm in.
