SoonerLS Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I checked the two nearby Ford dealers; one has 15 Broncos on their lot and the other has 16. The dealership where I used to do business lists 23, but I don't know how many they actually have on the lot--the two Tulsa area dealers I checked show pictures of all the trucks that were taken on their lot, but the one with 23 listed shows a bunch of them in front of generic backgrounds.

I went back and looked closer, and 5 of the 13 are in transit. The 8 on the lot are marked down from MSRP anywhere $493 to $3,408 on a Raptor.

Yeah, I didn’t figure that dealership would actually go to the railyard to take a picture of a Bronco in front of a Ford-branded rail car. (That’s actually the dealer that bought out the dealership where I and my folks used to buy all my Fords; after they fired all the folks who made the dealership what it was, and especially after the way they treated my late mother, I wouldn’t believe them claiming to have all those Broncos if I saw them on their lot with my own eyes.) The two dealers that are currently local to me actually have pictures of the Broncos taken on their lots, so even having not seen them myself, I have high confidence that they have the trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that people won't come if there's no inventory, but I've also never understood the idea of "let's put something online and pretend we have it here". Just seems like you're setting customers up for disappointment and anger. I know they want to then try to put you in something else, but I just would rather treat people better...

I think that’s just the default behavior of the inventory system and most dealers don’t bother to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I stated that 20 where dealer ordered per Fords website...I don't have the time to drive to all the dealerships (there are four of them) but 4 dealerships having anywhere from 8-15 Broncos per dealership, isn't that far of a stretch. So did a quick comparison-Ford website says 17 matches at the one dealership, with 2 listed as dealer ordered. Go to the dealership website, and they say 2024s 8 in stock with 4 coming in. There are 5 2023s in stock. So 5+8=13 plus 4 equals 17, not counting any that have sold in the past 24-48 hrs.

I wouldnt exactly call that busting at the seams especially given the bredth of packages, 2 doors 4 doors, 4cyl/ 6 cylinder AND all the models...so Ill leave it there. BUT...I will say this...after all the hype and clamoring and people jumping over each other to get them....the fact theres now left over 23s doesnt reflect very well ( although that said I just ran a locate on 2023 Wildtraks, which are the most popular package here in SDo Cal, and theres diddly squat in ANY color ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, massive price jumps with no additional content = no bueno for sales figures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
