Does anyone else have a bad feeling these things won’t arrive in June? Seeing all the pre production testing they are doing is cool but in my mind to stay on schedule they should have done these tests earlier this year. They don’t even have the actual interior shots for the media to see. Fingers crossed though that we will see it around June?

Got ol' Mike to Respond on Twitter this morning. Wonder what ford has up their sleeves.

He is clearly talking about the built in they have been working on to place an adult toy! Because Ford is riding us all so hard to the Bank!

If Mr. Levine told me it was sunny outside I would have to go outside myself and check. I don't trust a thing he says.
I agree. The company's communications absolutely suck. Lies and vagaries. No credibility. No trust. They're building a vehicle for the 21st century and talking to customers like it's still 1999.

Everything they do say is self-promoting: "The amazing Bronco team." Amazing Bronco team my ass. A customer takes time out of their busy life to inquire about a vehicle and you use it as an opportunity to promote your business? Hahahahahaha. Wow.

How about something like this instead?

"Our amazing, devoted, incredibly patient, willing-to-part-with-a-huge-chunk-of-cash-in-the-middle-of-a-pandemic-and-worst-recession-since-the-Great-Depression Bronco customers...drivers...BUYERS deserve the best, and we are working diligently to ensure a build and prices you'll love."

How freaking hard is it to write something like that when it's your job? Maybe not exactly like that, but you get the gist.

Levine is awful at his job. He has no credibility. Nobody put a gun to his head to tell us the Build and Price would be ready by September. If you're going to put your crappy marketing on social media only, it had better be accurate. Either Ford is woefully unprepared or inept. My confidence in them being able to produce a reliable truck on time is dwindling day by bday. Talk about sucking the wind out of your customers' sails.

You said it brother!
In the Bronco, Ford has chanced upon the proverbial hen that could lay the golden egg, if that is, they don’t manage to bungle it up and end up slaughtering it instead.

I'm glad the ford team is so focused on working on cool things

Much better than when they used to just focus on junky things

It actually could be possible that covid 19 is effecting supply chain in a way that's big enough to disrupt parts availability and even pricing. They could be sitting back fearful that they can't come up with enough upgraded front axles or something

If there's a huge shortage of something they may shift the price on that option way high to discourage the take rate

Wait a sec


They said September
But did they specifically say September 2020?
Maybe he means September 2021

I'd love to see the B&P come out soon, but honestly that would only keep me entertained for a few days. We can't order til December so what difference does it really make? I'd like to see it before mid October so I can get a firm handle on pricing before the "change dealer" drop dead date.

if you recall the survey thread, most of us thought by mid sept. i voted that as well, following logical thought, but the emotional part of me keeps checking multiple times daily ?
