I thought I've heard it all until this. How do you destroy someones Bronco so bad on the assembly line and then not be able to replace it? :facepalm: At least they're offering him a Bronco Raptor at msrp but I'd get that in writing!

From the B6G forum:

Ford totaled my First Edition.
We're gonna need updates on this.

Don't we have a member here that works at MAP? Gotta imagine that story has made it 'round the plant.

I want to be surprised. But, with some of the things we've seen and heard about this Bronco fiasco I just can't.

I'm really starting to believe the Broncos cursed. I'm sure it was a freak accident but really what happened? They (Ford) never told the dealer or the customer. Also, look at all the damage that's happened to them just being transported. I don't recall anyone here or on the JL forum having theirs damaged so bad during transport.

my guess is a yahoo driver rolled it in the loading area driving it like an asshole. definately a shipping problem after it was built


It's possible but I don't think it was during transport and it had happened on the assembly line. Either way they should at least give the poor guy an explanation. If it was during transport then Ford really needs to do something about their contractors because there's been many that have been severely damaged.

I wonder if they'll even tell him? Here's the OP's last post from 11.30 pm last night. We all know how well Mike Levine is willing to give out info so I wouldn't hold my breath on getting the truth. :rolleyes:


I got in touch with Mike Levine. So i'll update as information comes in.

And now there's this to consider...for someone with deep pockets.

Chris, this Bronco sold for $500K. :shock:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/2021-ford-bronco-sells-500k-173028733.html

The Rev. Tim McCabe found himself speechless.

"I’m still kind of in shock, just in awe," he told the Free Press minutes after a 2021 First Edition Ford Bronco sold for $500,000 Thursday night in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Ford will never tell him. It would only provoke more questions. They will just say it failed our QC and as we all know “quality is job 1”.

I added a Spiderweb shade and some grab handles on the roll bar. My gf is so short she needed the extra handle to hold onto while climbing in. lol I also added a Rugged Ridge cargo liner. Now I just need to cut the holes out for the tie down anchors but this should keep stuff from sliding all around the back and protect the carpet. Pod lights, brackets and wiring all coming this week. :curse:

If you really want a Bronco (2dr & 4dr's) Look what I found in SoCal @ Thousand Oaks Ford. I counted at least 15, website says more.

I figured there was some serious ADM going on, but the website says MSRP. Either this is a lot of declined orders/reservations or something funky is going on.

? Wow, I wonder what the story is behind all those? I can see a few customers backing out but not all those. Thanks for posting but I'll be a dead man if I bring another vehicle home now without buying my gf a ring. ? :wink:

In California for MSRP? Pffft. They add a $40k doc fee I bet.
