As a good American I get to be angry when it screws me personally and want the rules to change to benefit me personally. Now when I was going to get my MACH-E and it was getting shipped all the way to Michigan those costs should be spread across everyone. ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If enough of the workforce is vaccinated then surely they can drop mask wearing, infections and deaths are down to low rates now…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They released a statement to the papers last week that indicated they’re pretty much keeping the mask mandate indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oac98 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I believe masks will still have to be worn at all ford facilities for the remainder of the year. Who knows I could be very wrong, just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this behind the scenes stuff. Hope we get more of it. Congratulations to all MAP workers. You're the very heart for the return of the iconic Ford Bronco. Thank you, and sincerely wishing great success to all! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right? As hard as it is to believe, semiconductors are one of the few things in the Bronco supply chain that *aren't* in short supply! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy for you brother...its strange to me how some models seem immune whilst others aren't...I heard they were trying to funnel as many chips as possible to the F150...meanwhile my Wifes Sport, ordered Feb 1st is finally built and sitting on hold at the factory for the bloody chip!!!!!

If I'm down that way soon I will take you up on that offer! Unfortunately my next trip is looking to be to Texas at the end of July / Aug which is about the time my Bronco should show up at the dealer. So I'll be roasting and unhappy knowing my bronco is at the dealer and I'm working and can't pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good time to be a Ford fan…… Ford has really done a nice job building "lifestyle" vehicles like the Bronco, Bronco Sport, Maverick, F150 Powerboost, and even Mach E. There is a demand for active lifestyle vehicles, especially after Covid, and Ford is right on the money. While GM comes out with one Generic CUV after another like Blazer and Trailblazer, Ford is killing it with exciting new Active vehicles that many want. No wonder Ford has preorders up the kazoo. Nice problem to have.....trying to meet demand. Report out yesterday that many Ford vehicles are selling $3,000+ over sticker. I realize that has mostly to do with scarcity, but even in normal times Bronco lineup along with Mach E and Powerboost would need little in incentives to move them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 And now you see why Ford diverted resources to these new vehicles. They’re in high demand (or anticipated to be), customers love them, rebates are low or non existent and transaction prices are high. Compare that with generic cars in a sea of other generic cars and crossovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
