New BRONCO

Anybody know if the full size BRONCO is selling good or not ? My local dealer has at last count 32 stored under snow in a remote lot ! Been there quite some time now, just wondering ? Little ones seem to sell good !

I find that odd as every dealer I called had none except mannequin’s they were not allowed to sell. The ones I’ve seen in lots or In Ads I called on were already spoken for. Wonder if he means the holding yard at ford awaiting chips so they can be sent out. A lot of dealers are marking them up 10k for market adjustment because they are hard to get.

Strange, I just drove by the dealers a few moments ago and there were two sitting on the lot and just yesterday I drove by the off site lot and it appears that they are all still parked but had the most recent snow brushed off ! I now believe as you suggest they must be waiting for "chips". I thought I had read that dealers were balking at that idea of having to do the install as it might make them responsible for issues and not Ford itself ? Thanks for responding back to me, Bob

Out of curiosity where are you located? I’m in Michigan and has been tough to find one. I got one of their mannequins because around here you could not find one sitting on the lot.

"Hi" again, I am in Meredith N.H. but the closest dealer is Irwin Motors in Laconia, about 8 miles south of me. I think you might check them at irwin zone maybe ? I am trying to see a Maverick on the lots in this area but not much so far, they come in and go out the door very fast !
