It seems from your posts, Ford’s top design and engineering teams and the products that result make up for their operational shortcomings as a company. It must be frustrating. I always wondered what it’s like to be successful despite yourself.
First time in my entire working life I had to tell clients I have no idea how long we’ll be waiting for this or that.
I LOVE informing folks. It’s the highlight of my day.
The general public has NO idea what a mess this continues to be. We’re 8 + months out also on some equipment/parts and I’m in a different industry. This is actually a downplayed disaster.
💯 would go Granger again. Great experience. No worries there. Zach ordered my Mach 1 while the dealers in Florida didn’t even know what a Mach 1 was. I was able to get the single year Velocity Blue that I never would have gotten if not for Granger. Sorry can’t offer guidance on your decision though.

Historically 100 true, but paint and process used by today’s modern well equipped and certified shop actually exceeds the results attainable in a mass production environment. Not too difficult actually since FRAP cars usually have paint defects anyway.
If the vehicle is sold and purchased by the dealer and the salesperson is employed by the dealer then the Manufacturer cannot ( has no financial interest to) withhold sales commission from the salesperson.
Spiffs supplied by the manufacturer they can hold back all day long for whatever metric...
