But why does that matter? If that's the Bronco this "uninformed" person wants why shouldn't they let their dealer know?
The order still can't be submitted until an actual agreement is signed but the dealer can be prepared to get that done as quickly as possible. Especially important for...
Some dealer: "I have a 2 door to test drive right now!"
6G:"Lol. Yeah right! Dealers know nothing."
Some dealer: "I heard from someone who heard from someone that orders will start later."
6G: "I knew it! I hate ford! They are incompetent with no plan! Reservation cancelled!"
It's silly but the only thing keeping me from considering the Sport is the Sync system. Why would you launch a new car with the old system?
If I buy a new car I want the latest features including Sync4.
They'll need one to be able to take orders but they probably haven't been released by Ford yet.
It's highly likely that it will be posted here as soon as it's released by Ford.
And nothing so far has been shown that they are doing anything different than what they said at the beginning. Sorry you are a little slow to grasp that Ford was never going to deliver 1000 Broncos to a single dealer in the first month of production, no matter how many reservations they took...
Up to six cars over two years for a dealer spending big bucks to promote Bronco isn't going to change anything.
Anyone who thought that Ford would literally be able to produce cars in reservation order without building anything before customer orders was a fool.
There were always going to be...
Yes. These would be more allocation to get more of their customers orders fulfilled faster.
The most interesting part is that Ford is pushing for stand alone Bronco facilities. It seems like they have a long term plan for the Bronco brand to expand.
Even if* that September date was the cutoff for model years it came before the recent announced delays. It would be unlikely to still be correct.
*it wasn't
This is another misconception I've seen (not talking about you specifically but you mentioned it).
Supply constraints are not the same thing as late availability.
During production any random part might be low and there isn't a good way to predict what that will be. You'd drive yourself mad...
Yeah. The only thing that could be super special where they underestimated is Sasquatch.
Otherwise: the 2.7L is also on the F-150 so they probably won't be constrained on getting those if they need more. And Lux is a combination of many independent features that also appear on many other Fords...
