Except it seems the issues are all from Rangers built in USA. ROW Rangers don't seem to have the same problems.

Union labor issues?

Union labor issues?

Even if it is the UAW will make sure it's not.

Well add that to the list of deleted items. Now there are engine deletes.

Look on the bright side - with no engine, your MPG will be fantastic!

So sell new trucks no engine EV ready. ?

Marketing needs to spin this as a benefit.
The oil leak offsets the fuel in the oil issue and if it leaks enough, no need to change the oil. Just keep adding new oil.

Yes! Coolant that keeps the battery from igniting like the 4th of July!

Ford just cannot catch a break with Bronco production. Really sucks. Hope they get that vehicle sorted out sooner rather than later. Probably 1 of the top 2 (#2 being the Raptor?) attention getters in their line up but everything they touch on it seems to go badly. As a Ford guy it just stinks to see them struggle so terribly.

I thought order banks were closed anyways.

They are, since the end of January.

Me too. Looks like the OP did a build and price on the Ford site and not an actual order. B&P is still active so people can then search dealer inventory for the same or similar build. Makes sense but….

I didn’t notice anything on the site to inform potential customers that order banks were closed. Doing so would result in a better customer experience and also help dealers who have inventory they’d like to sell. They wouldn’t have to speak to the diversion, just mention that the banks are closed for MY23 to prepare for the updated MY24.

Another swing a miss? I think so.

Fords B&P has never been the best. You can go on it and build something but the dealers can't take any orders. It's like going through the drive through and looking at the menu but when you get to the window no ones there.

I was thinking it was more like a teenager parked at Inspiration Point and just when things were looking promising, he’s asked to drive her home.

It’s early there in AZ and maybe you’re hungry and just haven’t had breakfast yet.

Yep, coolant, or more accurately, Thermal System.
