No email still, so I chatted with Ford a little while ago and still "order processing" with no VIN. I really would like to know what my wait time will be converting to MY2023 because I'm not waiting into 2023 to hear about am even later build date (although notified in Dec for Springish 2023...
So this is the expected letter for the day. I’m surprised they sent it on time for at least some. OP, do you have a reservation in addition to your order and what was your last order date?
Exactly, poor communication. It seems like Ford is making this up on the spot. I say seems bc there is a ton of logistics in the process but Ford’s allocation mess and poor communication come across like a company that doesn’t know their head from their butt. Certainly they have talent on the...
I think this is the point where those of us without build dates should put on information blinders and take them off in 10 days and see where we stand. This vacillating information on build schedules, MY conversions, mysterious build guide release, COVP, etc. is enough to drive you bonkers...
Your study of one anecdotal order doesn’t really mean much. It’s awesome that you are getting scheduled but there are a TON of reservations on here without a VIN that will likely get pushed to 2023 and then have no clue if their dealer gets an allocation for the third order by said reservation...
There is no line but no, you shouldn’t go to the back of any overall perceived Bronco line. It becomes a constraint issue at that point. The parts for the Badlands may put you at a disadvantage if there are allocations and contrained Badlands orders ahead of you. Price protection?? Who knows.
I become concerned about the quality value for $$ proposition. No doubt the Bronco will hold it’s price value but do I want to spend $x more for a suspect hardtop with a cheap plastic interior (in spots) with suspect overall quality out of the gate? If the Bronco didn’t fit such a niche then I...
No 2023 order guide or pricing yet. If you lose price protection or you are anticipating a certain amount on a new order, how much increase in MSRP makes you walk? Or do you change your trim/packages/etc?
I will really have to look at the increase versus what other car manufacturers are doing...
Maybe close enough for some. If Ford keeps my order on the back burner, I maybe very interested in the next gen 4runner if Toyota can overcome restraints and nails the redesign. It would be a compromise for having an open air vehicle but the 4runner will go everywhere I need it to go.
Probably...
What a lesson in patience this has been. Thanks Ford for building our character! First world problems but how can a major company mess up communication so much?
With that much waiting, I don’t blame you for thinking of jumping. I’m nowhere close to your amount of time and I’ve been side eyeing and waiting for Jeep to update the Wrangler with maybe the new hurricane engine or Toyota to stop picking their butt and redesign the ancient but reliable 4runner.
What does that mean? Is there a special training program? Is the experience completely radical? Should I get a physical prior to my "Ford Bronco experience"? I've driven a couple of Broncos already. Should I see a psychiatrist if I never get my order?
Please tell me you were being sarcastic.
I think I've seen most pages on this thread but didn't see this nice piece of information. If you placed an order without a reservation and do not take delivery of a MY2022 build, you will lose your price protection if you are converted to 2023.
With that in mind, it would seem that Ford has a...
