Waiting room

[SM05]

I think we all have a line in the sand.

Yeah, I'm gonna make a decision on that this weekend / next week. Technically 4 days bump doesn't change things that much for me. If it spills over to August then I'm definitely out. Considering where chip shortage is right now and past order history, another bump is more likely than not.

I want to believe the chip issue has hit bottom and it's a short supply slowly rebounding. I am probably too optimistic but it just seems like everything is picking up.

Just got an email, now 8/23 build. And they will keep me informed??
OB moonroof 2/22 0rder?

 

[Jumbo1953]

They will keep you informed all right. Again and again and again. 2,000 years from now someone will dig up our orders and wonder if they were ever built.

At what point does the value of getting a 2021 model Badlands ordered prior to 15 April really mean that you are paying MSRP for a year old auto ?
If Ford does start taking orders for 2022 models on 30 August, at least we will be able to see what new/different features are offered and at what price before we get ours delivered.
I suspect that SYNC 4 and greater availability of 2.0 engines will lead the parade of differences.

I might be less grumpy about getting a year old vehicle if Ford extended the warranty to five years.

If this is true than I guess I’m better off buying a Jeep Wrangler. Built in Ohio.
Maybe Ford is just as screwed up as their Governor in Michigan.

yall can have the moron called the governor. Nothing but trouble since day one in office.

 

[Jumbo1953]

Great my build went from 6/28 to 8/2 to 8/9. I’ll probably get a new date of 8/23 any minute. Did Ford give you a specific year?

well 'year' old is only in marketing terms. The 'year' is when they release the model. When it's actually built is what starts it's mechanical...and warranty clock. I'd agree, there are some incredibly simple and 'free' things Ford can do to rectify. So slap an extra year or two on warranty repairs...yeah perhaps over the long haul it may cost them a lot, but so does losing customers.

Ford is switching to Android for its infotainment systems by 2023. So I'm sure their not going to upgrade Bronco Sport to Sync 4.

Since when is this a political forum???

Hang in there guys. Especially those of you waiting for the Badlands — so worth it. We got ours first week of May after ordering last December.

More bantering between neighbors than getting political. Scroll...it's faster than a reply ?

Great idea!

Nah it sincerely wasn't meant to create a firestorm. We are joking about Ohio/Michigan in a time of frustrating delays. If you took that the wrong way...it wasn't intended as anything more.

That is still less time than some of us will be getting ours.
