Some Ford Bronco Buyers Unable to Redeem Ford Vouchers for Changing Orders

Ford said they could combine offers and save thousands, but that doesn't seem to work

This one's a headscratcher. Late last year, Ford offered 2022 model-year Bronco reservation holders a Model Year Transition Private Offer (MYTPO) that effectively gave them price protection for converting their order to a more expensive 2023 Bronco. The MYTPO was effectively a gift certificate to cover the cost of the MSRP increase to the 2023 Bronco depending on trim — nothing new there, it's been happening for years. Ford still couldn't build Broncos fast enough, though. So at the beginning of this year, it created another incentive called the Order Modification Private Offer (OMPO). This gave reservation holders $2,500 to buy a different Bronco trim or de-content their Bronco of all items under constraint, like the Lux Package and Sasquatch Package, or to cancel their Bronco order and order a different Ford vehicle.

 

After the OMPO offer came out, a Ford rep told Car & Driver the two offers could be combined, saying, "Customers who remove constrained features are expected to receive a 2023 model year Bronco along with a $2,500 rebate toward purchase or lease in addition to existing MSRP price protection they may have." A FAQ page at Ford's retail site included the question, "Will the OMPO affect the existing MYTPO?" The answer given was, "You will receive two separate certificates, one for the amount you were previously eligible for under the 2023 Model Year Transition Private Offer and one for the amount you are eligible for with the Bronco Order Modification Private Offer." Bronco brand manager Matt Winter said twice in a video (at 43:30 and 1:07:20) that both offers could be combined.
