Ford- throw us a bone!

How about a warranty extension? Might showed in production 1/18/22, so I know its been sitting outside waiting for some damn chip for almost 6 months now. Batteries don't ,like that. Rubber does not like that. No wax to protect the paint. So how about an extra year?

Your warranty starts when you take delivery not when it gets built.

If the manager brings you a dessert... great! I'm not talking about you because you aren't "asking" for a dessert. That is more of a manager just being nice with his prerogative than it is giving into the demands of an entitled customer who feels like he is "owed" that dessert.

As for Ford... I've had prices locked as well as tons of trinkets (posters, hammocks, calendars, flags, etc...) sent my way in an effort to appease me all when I never asked for any of them. They didn't even have to lock in and protect the price (I didn't ask for that), but it was nice that they did. I wouldn't presume for a second to think I'm entitled to a lower rate on top of everything else.

I went into this thinking "It will get here when it gets here... and if it still fits the budget when it arrives I'll purchase it." Ford doesn't owe me anything. It was a great experience for me (even in spite of the 640 day wait) because I had the right attitude for this type of process. I was patient, didn't change things around or settle so I would get something sooner... I had delivered exactly what I ordered and then paid exactly the price I agreed to when I ordered. Things got pushed back a couple of times... that's life... I dealt with it. I was blessed enough to not hit [insert adjective here] Mountain and had I not been blessed in that regard... again I would have dealt with it because that's life. Nobody owes me anything for my patience... my patience was to receive my Bronco... not to receive a lower price, a lower rate, freebies, handouts for my palms up, or anything else.

I'll buy my Bronco when it does get released from Dirt Mountain. Honestly, I would prefer if I was still waiting to be scheduled rather than partially built, but it is what it is. I have the mid-year price protection, so there's that. I guess if I feel the time on Dirt Mountain has negatively impacted the vehicle, I'll order a 2023 and replace my '22 when it comes in.

The freebie I would like? If Ford went and threw a cover on my Bronco to protect it a little more from the elements, I think that would be great.

But you're right, I'm not asking or demanding anything from Ford as an incentive. It would be appreciated, but not expected.

I agree, but that was not my point. I want compensation for my long wait for a now 6 month old vehicle. 4 years and 48k instead of 3 and 36.

Never going to happen

You chose to wait, you could have cancelled (still can!), bought something else, an infinite amount of other stuff you could do, but you chose to wait. Why should Ford compensate you for your personal choice? If you feel that the deal is no good unless you get extended warranty for free, then walk away.

Or look at it as Ford showing confidence in its product and thanking patient customers.
