I was checking out dealers near by. One has what looked like Area 51 in stock Bronco (not a BS one that is).

Hmmm... I don' t think he understands the dynamics apparently, and that's sadly coming from TFLCar. ? "According to rumors swirling within the industry, take rate of the Bronco Sport Badlands hasn’t exactly been stellar." Pure BS. They can't build enough of them to satisfy the demand, mainly...

Yeah, I think I remember early prototype pictures. As a previous generation RAV4 owner I am bias towards RAV4 and Toyota in general. After extensive research, test drive, QC issues and all it was a hard pass for me. I'm trying to talk myself into 4Runner. I don't drive that much so while I hate...

Let us all know how your transaction with the dealer goes. Good luck.

To be fair old time Russia was way way worse. Looking at 4Runner here. Another poster had mentioned 4Runner TRD PRO. Those are gone apparently as all picked by now, not that I'm interested in one. Gas mileage on 4Runner is what stops me, for now.

I found a few items on his list I was not aware of and overall an informative video, never mind a bit annoying narration.

I speculated that same thing a while back.

No steelies in my order.

Called Ford marketing to get the latest scheduled for production status. Last Ford's email said July 19th, which is basically Monday, meaning they'll work on my order some time that week. I was told July 22nd is when it's to be built. This much more targeted than I heard before. Don't know what...

Yeah, it's definitely not Ford as the root cause of the issue. And I don't blame them cause blaming ain't gonna resolve anything. Having said that... :) where I think Ford did drop the ball is with all that scheduling, re-scheduling over and over, and often lack of communication. I know just in...

Starting to look around for my backup choices... Things aren't as bad as with Ford but are going downhill with other brands as well. I get a feeling that if I continue to wait another month+ until my July 19th build things will get considerably worse inventory wise. And if Ford delays again...

The way things work out, I'd say the chance is high.

I checked a particular local Subaru dealer's site today. The same dealer had about 10-12 Crosstrek a few of each trim level basically. That was may be month and a half ago. Today they have none. Damn. There goes my Crosstrek as a backup plan.

lol

I suspect wait for that one will be even longer. You likely won't be able to get one until later in the year, if not in 2022. That's a non-starter for me.

What's the end game there? Suppose you figure out what's holding up your build. Suppose it's a major component like 360+ for instance. My understanding is that not all existing order changes can be made - minor ones are OK but major ones might not work. I'm not 100% sure about that. I requested...

Exactly. I have some requirements but I'll be looking at it through short term vehicle glasses and that's where I fully expect to compromise. I've been driving previous generation RAV4 for the past 7 years, first year model at that, and will be parting with it shortly. It's been nothing but...

I personally wouldn't compromise BS like that. :) If I get BS I'll get it how I want it and that's fully loaded with my preferred color choice. lol In the mean time I'd likely get a used 2-3 year old car, hold on to that for another 2-3 years to have Ford work out shortages and some of the new...

Don't get me started on puppies. :crackup: Been trying to get one and it's worse than BS order. I'm serious.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat - no car, need one now. I'll be willing to wait til "supposed" July 19th build week but not much more than that. I simply can't wait. Nothing really grabs my attention like BS. Wish 4Runner was ted shorter and had better millage. But if I have to that's probably what...
