There have been several threads on this topic just the last couple of weeks with many, many responses. I know the site search tool leaves a lot to be desired but you can use Google and add site:bronco6g.com to the search terms.
Absolutely agree. I'm not interesting in talking to Woodhouse.
My post was in response to the user with the crazy idea that since Granger is in a small town (albeit near Des Moines) they don't deserve to sell a lot of Broncos. Woodhouse proves this is not true.
Not opinions. Facts.
When I called every dealer in the area in 2020 not a one of them would commit to pricing. Ford was telling us to lock in pricing agreements. I chose to lock in with a dealer 2 hours away from me.
Ford knew exactly how many reservations each dealer had and made no efforts...
The Des Moines metro has a population of over 250,000.
The number ten Ford dealer, Woodhouse, is in Blair NE with a population of 7,800.
Your argument does not hold water.
You are not correct. Ford in 2020 was making a lot of noise about moving to a build to order model as opposed to lots of inventory sitting on lots. The Bronco was the first move in that direction. Ford quietly changed the FAQ a couple of times after the big dealers complained and hurt all...
There is years of history on this forum that shows how @Ford Motor Company broke its promises and pulled the rug out from under any dealer that dared to be good at selling Broncos. Granger gets the most attention on here but there were over 230 dealers on the Firday the 13th call, all in the...
As far as I can tell, having COVP does not get you to Priority 2. I'm still at a 19 (as are all other Bronco orders at my dealer). Only when Ford is previewing an order and getting close to assigning a VIN will you be at PC2.
The big question @Zach@Granger needs to answer for us now is how many allocations Granger will get. We can balance our place in line with that and decide what to gamble.
From the 2023 FAQ ... Looks like your price protection is locked in at what you had on order Sept 9, 2022. You can make changes w/o affected the private offer.
Remember if you are at a dealer where lots of allocations were pulled ahead you won't see a 2024 either. Say one like Granger gets 200 pulled ahead. It might be two years before they get another Bronco.
Several dealers on this forum were at the fall 2020 dealer meeting and said that Ford specifically congratulated Granger on their Grangetober idea .... right before yanking the rug out from under all dealers that outperformed.
(Just hearsay, but that was the word at the time.)
In the early days of Bronco reservations Ford was telling dealers get a reservation, get a Bronco. This was Ford's first attempt at build-to-order and it failed spectacularly when the mega dealers wouldn't (couldn't?) complete. They complained to Ford which changed back to allocations and the...
I'm riding it out. Oct 2020 reservation. OBX non-SAS, 2.7, adv4x4, MIC, Lux, tow. I'll get what I want or I won't get it at all. @Ford Motor Company can take my money or not. I've had Fords all my life but this might be the end of that.
By not prioritizing reservations when they had the chance @Ford Motor Company put themselves in a spot where price protection is costing them millions.
