Bryan1 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Last week, we published new Bronco prototype images, but not without consequence. [cut] While we were successful in bringing you the information we received quickly, this video (seen above) and its corresponding post on TFLcar.com didn’t come without consequence. Shortly after we published the news, we received notice from a Ford spokesperson that we had been summarily disinvited from the official reveal for the 2021 Ford Bronco and the 2021 Ford F-150. https://www.tfltruck.com/2020/06/ford-uninvited-tfl-from-the-upcoming-2021-ford-f-150-bronco-reveals-heres-how-it-hurts-all-of-us-call-to-action/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I said it in the other thread, it's Ford's sandbox, it's their rules. If you want to post leaked shit, then go right ahead but then don't bitch about the consequences. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Here is the thing. You sneak, spy, and post things that the manufacture wants to hide you automatically run the risk of this happening. It's the business. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 There's a very good reason I've been relatively quiet lately, especially regarding the Bronco Theres a BUNCH of stuff I could say but I'm not going to because I don't want to deal with the consequences. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can argue that, but I found most of their complaints valid, and a number of their complaints had caveats why Ford did what they did. The headlight complaint is particularly legit, whether people want to admit it or not. Ford lower tier headlights are complete garbage and in some cases not sufficient based on personal experience with my work vehicles. With that said, their review was still very positive even after they were banned. I still find it petty by Ford considering nothing they revealed was particularly interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good god the entitlement is maddening. Did Jalopnik ever get it back? Roman is whining about the money he spent on the F-250 and this is the thanks he gets - even got his press fleet access pulled. Well, Roman, think about the money Ford spent on the Bronco and all the support they give your little channel and this is the thanks Ford gets.

Well than you obviously don't watch TFL---I actually love these guys and think they do an excellent job and are very fair and objective. There are a ton of mules running around their area in Colorado, so they are going to take advantage of that. But like other's have said, it's Ford's rules-but I think it is pretty petty of them. These reveals have been the longest drawn out of damn near anyone I can remember. And then you get to wait another 6-9 months before these things even start to show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK they were only uninvited to that press reveal, not future events. They did publish an article explaining what happened but they didn't whine about it like TFL is. They just waited until later to post a technical breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article says they were emailed pictures from an "anonymous" source and they posted them. I can't find the post so it appears they deleted it. If it was just a mule in the wild they wouldn't have deleted the pics and nobody would have a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just boycott each other and be done with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually enjoy their videos but I am always critical when professional reviewers state incorrect info. If you are going to be a professional reviewer, then know your stuff. IE - fordpass works from satellites... um no, it uses 4G cell signals.. not satellites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the whole idea was to show the knee jerk response (Roman) and then get on with the F250 review (Nathan, the closet Chevy lover) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being excluded from major events is a major smack down, bitching about future problems was a given anyway. Ford is just being a bit childish here, news , singling out TFL was just a way of sending a message to others invited to play nice or suffer the same consequences.

TFL was invited to the product reveal and got greedy or wasn't thinking and posted the pics before the reveal. TFL should be ashamed of themselves instead of trying to shame Ford. It is unfair to Ford and unfair to all the other sites who waited. If Ford in response made a bratty video mocking TFL and posted a tweet with black tape over the TFL logo and then banned them for life and said no more TFL then that would be childish, pathetic and obnoxious. Writing them a letter univiting them was what they had to do. Roman and Andre should rethink what they are doing. They don't always have to be first on everything. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childish is the best way to describe it. I watch TFL quite a bit and I think they are usually fair. Dumb ass move on Ford's part IMO. Now had it been Cons'R or MTR T ?-that would be another story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan1 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) How is it childish? If you want to see childish look at the TFL response video. What does TFL usually being fair have to do with it? If PUTC was still up and running I don't think Mark Williams would post it. TFL lacks common sense if they still think this ok. The Truth Site that usually posts fake news would have posted it no doubt but they have also been banned.
