I was in your spot and am a bit of an expert on hauling tots. You have a problem. The Bronco Sport is actually just a Ford Escape underneath -- and the Bronco Sport is shorter. Your little one is going to get bigger. You are going to need room for portable cribs, toys, or whatever. In a...

I am standing in the dealership this morning where a glum lady, right out of the Simpsons DMV, is explaining the ins and outs of tracking. This is all she does. Looks up visibility reports and handles the porters (arrivals and departures of vehicles). I kid you not.. Here are two zingers...

After being told to wait another month for my “in transit” Badlands, I did the full blown exercise. Spent two hours searching for and finding 3 “Just Arrived” Badlands on ford.com within 200 miles and chased them down. Lost 2 by someone else buying 12 hours earlier. The Chicago one is still...

I am so screwed. I have a hold because they don’t have a chip for my towing hardware. (That was a joke… but perhaps not. I wonder if the wiring harness for the Towing Package needs a chip? Hmm)

According to Long McArthur channel, as of a few weeks ago, allocation orders will be put on hold into may in order to produce customer orders. Of course your order has to be buildable. I would ask for a copy of the top few lines of the Vehicle Visibility Report from your sales person. That...

I might have to watch again now. Near the end he went over a long list of allocations coming his way. He mentioned some 3 digit codes next to some of the Badlands. I put $500 down to reserve two allocations on two Bronco Sports at two Ford dealers. According to the VVR's, First one...

Long McArthur said this week they are out of BL Premium package, Assist+, and Moonroofs. He mentioned there was a queue of customer orders without any of those options being scheduled.

Hmm. At frame level, Lincoln MkC == Ford Escape == Bronco Sport == Ford Maverick. so AWD in any of those with traction control should be same (save for engine). Right? Badlands has state of the art rear differential gear box and other off road goodies.

You will get what you ordered as long as the order is accepted. If accepted they are committing to a 2022 model delivery with price protection. I have not heard of ford putting Vehicles on the train without the main packages (luxury/convenience, tow, Assist+, Moonroof). Your order just will...

In the first segment he said they were filling long ignored (low priority) orders for rare retail orders with no packages this week. Last week no Bronco Sports we’re produced.

My two cents. Call me a skeptic. I have never had an issue with Wired Carplay and SYNC3. I can imagine a bag of hurt. Wireless integration software is hard to do. Very hard. Wireless Carplay working seamlessly with SYNC4 for more than 6 months is a dream. Scenario 1: Your iPhone updates...

I had no idea. My first $1000 in BSBL accessories is going for engine cover, under dash panel, protection/noise panels underneath, hood insulator, headrests, spare tire, tow hook thingy..

The Ford Guy said this is a bad time to order accessories with the vehicle. He gave an actual example of a shortage of full sized Bronco custom orders with the tonneau cover accessory. If there is a stack of Moonroofs and Premium Packages sitting there but there are no tonneau covers, the...

In the latest episode Tim The Ford Guy mentions a few things (I hope I got it right) There are 6 more months of 2020 model production. If you have a "scheduled build date" your vehicle is expected to be produced in the 2022 model year. Dealer stock allocations will not be a priority through...

You are correct. The dealers do use the phrase "360" or "360+". I was just reading about Ford Co-Pilot 360 2.0. There is no end to it.

I am going to throw up. My Badlands is on its way North and apparently all kinds of parts are falling off the train. First road trip is straight line to the Sonora Desert to look for my engine cover, hood insulator, roof rails, spare tire, ...

I agree. Every Ford across all lines comes with Co-Pilot 360. So the "Co-Pilot360" is not necessary (thus it is usually just called "Assist+"). All I know is once you have the "Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go" you can't live without it. It really works. I have been stuck in a one...

If you want up to the minute information on what is going on listen/watch to this weekly live cast from a Ford dealership employee who reads Ford news and answers questions. He does the live cast from his office in a dealership near Kansas City. Ford Video Guy (link preview shows another...

I was going crazy. I did not order. I did the idiot thing.. I paid $2000 over MSRP to skip the line and take a "dealer order" placed 6 months ago. Today I asked my sales person to ask his manager to print a visibility report. Note the change in time zone.. It's "Mountain Time" for my...

Is this statement true? If you are "Built" (as shown below) your car is not "on hold" awaiting a chip (or other part) I was hoping this status means the vehicle could be driven onto a train. Thanks [Updated] The dealer vehicle visibility report (VVR) shows I am luckily not on chip hold. The...
