Default Vinyl Seat Upgrade

[BonkRo]

I have a Bronco Big Bend order set for a 6/19/23 build week.

I originally ordered with cloth interior, and the window sticker on the bronco tracker says cloth interior, but the interior section of the tracker tool says marine grade vinyl.

How can I confirm if my Bronco will be built with the vinyl or cloth?

Window sticker is the end. It will be built to that

The window sticker is presumably accurate.

The trackers are all sketchy.

Bummer, was hoping i'd be captured in the standard vinyl option.

Wish I had your luck, I’ve got a big bend on order and I’ll get stuck with vinyl. I ordered that model specifically to get cloth and carpet.

Marine grade vinyl was made standard on more models, including the Big Bend:

They are ditching cloth seats on most models and making vinyl standard

Yes, but wondering if they'll actually build mine with the cloth as spec'd on the window sticker or the vinyl (which I want).

Are you getting a 4-door? Let's switch.

I totally would swap in a heartbeat but I haven’t even got a built date yet on mine. If I get one in the next couple months I’ll check in with you on it!

It could be a crap shoot. We've seen the sticker wrong during the Job1 to Job2 change overs. It does not seem to be an exact cut over date. It's more of a target based on scheduling.

Is it confirmed that the MGV seats in the big bend will get the washout floor too?

 

[tock13]

Yes, it does. (And the cost will increase by $300 as a result.)

So ford decides they don’t want to fulfill orders that are already in the system with cloth seats and screw over those who chose a trim level based on cloth.….then they decide that was fun and they say ‘let’s screw em a second time real quick and make them pay $300 more.‘

I guess that’s a pretty ‘Ford’ thing to do so I shouldn’t be surprised.

 

[BonkRo]

Those people will be price protected.

I mean... don't get me wrong... they still get screwed out of their cloth seats, so it's not all sunshine and roses. BUT, they won't have to pay $300 more. ($295 I think is the exact amount.)

From what I've seen on this forum it seems opinions are very mixed. Most people seem to be happy with the change, because now they are able to get MGV without having to upgrade to a Black Diamond. @BonkRo is obviously in the group of people that would prefer the MGV interior. But some are upset, because they bought a Big Bend specifically for cloth.

Yes, I bought a big bend because it was the cheapest way to get what I wanted (essentially fastest way to a basesquatch without hunting or waiting). I settled on not getting MGV given the up front price, but if it was presented as a $300 option I obviously would of...

What's the best course of action? I called the dealer to beg them to work some magic with Ford but I think it may be too late. Even though it's not a huge deal, does make me kinda mad.
