That's because those of us that have been around a while got in on the good deals or group buys that happened because of this forum. I would bet that more than 90% of us switched our reservation from another crappy dealer that we wouldn't be happy with. So I think these results will be a bit skewed.

Make the poll Lalas and let’s find out
Valid point, should’ve said “original dealer” I guess....This isn’t a scientific poll, just a snapshot to feed my curiosity, that’s all.

My dealer isn’t super small town but on the smaller end. Family has been using them for trucks for the last decade or two so I figured I’d throw them a bone with my business since they’ve been good to me.
GM knows our family and is a great guy but the Bronco specialist just doesn’t seem to have any information. Couldn’t or won’t tell me how many reservations they had, what their allocation looked like, or where I sat roughly in line. Just told me we will have answers in May.
I’m an August 8th reservation and I fully expect to get a 2022 but in the off chance I get called up I want to be ready. Big difference between plunking a deposit down in June/July vs 6+ months from then.
My guy had no idea there were even dealer Broncos they could get through the FCTP. Had no idea there were local events to SEE a Bronco (probably would have suggested to go to the Chicago Auto show if they were having it)
Overall, the process has been fine. Just lacking any kind of detail and/or hitch in his giddy-up. Hoping my deposit isn’t just sitting around interest free for 6+ months...

Option 2 should just be a rolling stones gif
There should be a Granger/Stephens/Horsham/etc option so we can filter all the extremely happy customers out. Damn overachievers ruining the bell curve

My dealer is Granger. I have never in my life been happy about a car dealer until now. My local dealer blows goats, so happy I found Granger.

Please elaborate Squatch.....Lala had a valid point about changing dealers, I’m just here trying to find out info and thoughts like everyone else...but to just say bad poll is kinda generic. What specifically should I have done to make it a “good” poll. Just curious in case I ever put another up

I have a small local dealer who is awesome. He keeps me informed whenever he hears anything and I do the same for him after I see things here on B6G. Sometimes we hear it here before he hears it from Ford.

Ha ha haI think you're missing the sarcastic tone! You'll get used to us!
Ok, I’m just trying to fly under the radar and not ruffle any feathers, and play nice
Best to never post anything... if you’re trying to not ruffle someone’s feathers... just sayinHa ha ha
However, I found this most awesome tool ever created ( even more useful than a 10mm socket)... it’s called the “ignore” button.
I thought about this the other day. The dealer I choose had a set price below dealer invoice. I didn’t have to haggle or dicker. I didn’t feel like I was getting screwed before I even walked in. In the end I felt relieved. I had the choice and I could take it or pass on it. It was that simple choice that made it a pleasant ordering experience. ( as a side note- I hate buying new cars!)
