AR is first to market and this isn't some crap injection molded afterthought. It's precision machined and extremely well designed. Oh and there isn't a gigantic logo plastered all over it.
Hey @Ford Motor Company and @mike_at_ford, we followed your lead and switched to soft tops, but we aren't getting the prep kits, there is zero communication and it's basically November. I'm at a cross road with my current car. Where the hell are our vehicles??? Tell us the real story. I'm not...
Given it's the end of October already, I would've switched, but if course Anti-matter Blue was discontinued. 🤦
Edit: and I feel you on MY25 Jetsons Bronco!!
I guess at least your a MIC to so you know something. Us softies (who switched to avoid the top issue and get theirs faster... Per Ford) are sitting here with not even a whisper of what the hold up is. Oh and not getting a prep kit even, cuz I was lucky it scheduled earlier. 🙄
Buy it. You'll have at least a year's window where you could sell it off (and enjoy it) while still breaking even. Maybe circumstances get better in the mean time and you can keep it. Maybe not, but I'm sure there would still be plenty of people or dealers willing to take it off your hands.
To piggy back on this comment...
Tom, @DealerInsider
You have earned my business if I ever buy another Ford again (thankfully you have other options). I will grassroots recommend you to anyone I come across for your timeliness, transparency and honor. Appreciate U !!!
Edit: And thank you for...
No shocked at all by Lindsay. I switched from them to @DealerInsider as fast as possible. My dad put in a reservation (which defaulted to Lindsay) and pushed to MY22. Well they ordered his without permission, and with most of the options missing. I told him to ask for a DORA so he could see what...
Can't remember exactly when/where I heard about the grille shutter rewire, but definitely confirmed it, hah. Was told every night after the production line shift ends, they are bringing in droves of broncos to get the fix. This was prior to the new MICs bring released.
Never could find out the...
The active shutters are located just behind the grille. They control airflow into the engine bay for various reasons. There was an internal engineering bulletin to rewire. (presumably to a thicker gauge but that's a total guess.) It's a front bumper off fix.
My theory is that they rolled this...
I'm still "In Production". Went to desperate lengths and found out for a fact, 100% VIN confirmed, that I'm part of the active shutter rewiring bulletin which is known and was updated for anything built after ~9/15. Since the cat is out of the bag, I also have a "Bilstein Shock Hold" whatever...
Well I'll be. Sometimes it seems like there's just never gonna be that light at the end of the tunnel. Like this is all a fantasy.
But seeing an inkling of movement for you, one of the most colossal f*¢ked up situations on here, gives me hope! Hah!
I've been reserved. Couldn't say it when...
