Bronco Build & Price date

[codydb19]

Gonna borrow one from @JAGSarge, but guys...

Im too lazy to go look it up, but a member at the event said he saw the BN person asking these questions to the “marketing rep” onsite. So (at least in this instance) they don’t have any inside info.

Also @irv0735 said these “marketing reps” were from an outside company. So if you’ve ever been to a big new auto show, you’ve interacted with these types of reps before. If it’s not on the spec sheet in front of them, they know nothing about the product.

Looks like 50+% of us believe that Ford is going to wait till the end or will totally go back on their word, again and once more will include october in the word "by" lol.

Ford hired a marketing firm to assist with (at least) this particular event. These marketing folks are exactly as you described, the type that are available at car shows and will typically direct you to the one or two actual employees from the manufacturer for any difficult questions. Those Ford employees were not onsite today, but will be for the remainder of the event.
The marketing firm was very nice and did the best they could, but the main guy I was working with today admitted that he was very nervous going into this for all of the difficult questions that he knew he wasn't going to have the answers to. He said they got a very quick run-down on the 2 vehicles provided and that was basically it.

I feel like half the time I look at BN, someone will ask a question and the reply will be along the lines of "go check out 6G"... so I seriously doubt they know more than we do

Yeah, marketing company looking to land big Ford dollars would have absolutely no reason to be in cahoots with Ford Marketing.....nope.

 

[Fuzion2Bronco]

I said October but not what year

 

[Fuzion2Bronco]

I want the Bronco version...

 

[Lilj4425]

Cant order without building it first, so........

Actually you can. It’s like playing the lottery.

 

[Lilj4425]

Soo...ummm yeah.

 

[j_marinelli]

Well the good news is that IF the build and price is hitting this month, we have put a third of the month behind us! The glass is only two thirds full now!

 

[EvlNvrDys]

Actually you can. It’s like playing the lottery.

Not quite sure I understand this reference. Because when I play the lottery, I know exactly how much I'm paying for my ticket. The only options afforded me are (whatever that extra cash thing is for less than jackpot). But I still know how much I'm paying.

Anyways, I guess Ford's idea of SOON has been way different than most of what we think. For the person above who says I'm good with B&P in May, well you go ahead and order in December then ALLOW Ford to show you the price in May, let me know how that works out for you.

As for me, the B&P helps me to decide WHICH model I want, with WHAT options to be within the budget I have in mind. Does it need to be more than 3 days before I order? Probably not. But I'm impatient. And it seems like a task that COULD'VE been completed by now. Seriously, stop giving us PRE-PRE-PRE-PRODUCTION models at events spaced out by weeks, get your shit together and give us something solid for once!
