I wonder how long they can ride those two horses until (see what I did there  ) until they can turn the rest of it around.
It is also mind blowing to me that a company that invented the mass produced vehicle and has been building cars for over 100 years..............can’t get basic things like panel gaps and paint even close to correct on a lot of their cars/trucks. Especially their “halo” car.
Third mind blowing thing is they still get people lining up to pay well north of 100k for them (GTs, GT350Rs and 500s, maybe even Broncos now) while their distribution system is so fucked up they sit outside in Detroit for months. Leading to more issues like cracked summer tires and more body issues. I can’t believe they won’t let people pick them up their or set up a cool delivery program like every other auto/truck manufacturer in the world.
Their moral and culture sucks in every way from top to bottom.
Edit: Really last mind blowing thing. They make some of the best/fun drivers cars and trucks on the market, which really sucks because you have to deal with the above. Good luck dealing with FoMoCo corporate when you have a major issue and you most likely will. |
A top of the line First Edition Bronco 4 door is 65k. A “FE” has all the best offroad and luxury components offered in one trim. This includes the electronic sway bar disconnect only offered on the Badlands.
FE was supposed to be limited to 3500 units but they randomly doubled it to 7000.
It does not have cup holders.
It has a 10-speed auto with a ecoboost v6 just like the Ranger but for some reason it can only tow 3500lb even with the tow package.
It was supposed to have a body matched removable top but Ford announced they wont be ready so you get the grey roof like everyone else.
For 65k you cant choose your interior color on the FE. Its BLUE and thats it. Even if you pick orange exterior on the FE.
Btw did I mention Im salty about the options and launch? I was waiting for the Bronco for years and as I mentioned above I literally have the #9 FE reserved but the above turned me off.
Now to be hearing the continued issues on the Mustangs and with over 175000 reserved Broncos I have to assume early Broncos will have a fair share quality issues.
Im out on the Bronco due to all of the above.
