President's Day apparently isn't observed at Ford...

Gotta love California! Most other states don't afford consumers that amount of protection...:crying:

X-Plan is Ford's discount offered to suppliers/contractors. It's not as lucrative as the A/Z plan, which is offered to Ford employee/retirees and their relatives (and Ford defines "relatives" quite loosely), but it does help to knock off some of the cost. My suggestion would be to see if you...

By "putting it in writing," just have them confirm everything with you via. email (that's sufficient enough "writing") if you're ordering remotely. Though, I have to imagine a reputable dealership will do this any way without your requesting it. That said, whatever is put in writing (except...

I'm not sure that's entirely true if one gets a fully loaded GT. With the Bronco, it's the orders loaded with a bunch of options that are taking the longest to deliver. Base model, you're probably right.

I wouldn't be surprised if October (or even 2023 for that matter) deliveries end up being optimistic if the Bronco and Maverick launches are any sign. Worst case, it's not pressing for me, as I'm trying to save up to buy a used Pickup truck as well.

Not necessarily. I'm pretty young myself and adore I Love Lucy!

Same here. Since early December, I've only received the initial welcome email....

After that diastruous earnings report and the mass layoffs (in stark contrast to crosstown rival GM), sadly, the supply chain issues seem to be the least of their problems at the present moment

Ford Rangers these days are about the size of pre-2009 F-150s (which I have), and they aren't exactly small trucks either. I've been thinking about buying a used Ranger as a 3rd vehicle.

^^^I also got this one immediately after signing up for emails back in early December...

^^^Can confirm. I got this same generic message when I first signed up for emails back in early December...

And don't get me wrong,. I understand if they are just estimates and technically as customers we shouldn't even be privy to it. Still, you'd think Ford would do better with communicating this information to their dealers.

It just baffles me that they would communicate those dates through their official dealer portal and then not follow through with them without any explanation..

I regularly read TheLayoff.com for Ford, and it seems since laying off a ton of folks a few months ago, corporate has been kind of a circus between employee morale being completely shot and the remaining workers having to take on additional workload from former colleagues. Although I'm...

To be more specific, Granger is a suburb of Des Moines. So for someone near an airline hub, it should be quite easy to fly in directly to pick up their car once it's ready (if they so choose).
