I don't believe it's hysterical to question the legality of Fords advertising. I think the argument is that the pro model was advertised as being available to retail purchasers, not just fleet. I think the numbers would speak for themselves in a court case. If ford sold 10,000 retail...
I have a text out to my dealer to get some clarification. I think ultimately I will wait for my order turn and see if a 22 pro is available, or if 23 is at my original reservation price. It sounds like neither will be options.
I actually am curious to know whether they were upfront with the...
It is not a financially sound option for me to buy the more expensive option. I am also morally opposed to supporting a company with these practices. I'm ok driving my old Lexus SUV for a few more years. It can pull my dump trailer just fine, but only gets 8-10 mpg when hauling. I'll revisit...
Yeah I heard they increased the price, but hoped that was for the 23 model. I do believe this fits the bill for bait and switch practices unless the specifically advertised the pro as a limited supply offer at time of my initial reservation. I'm not a lawyer though.
The honorable and wise...
I think I'm in the same boat, as my order date is coming up. Isn't this bait and switch. I believe this should be protected by law. Ford advertised a $40k pro model, took reservations and then only made that $40k model to a very small number of reservation holders. Did they advertise it...
I'm still waiting for an order spot for the lightning pro. The dealer just called to offer a test drive since my order is getting close. The emails that I am getting refer to the 22 lightning.
Does anyone know if they are still taking orders for the 22' and if so will it be at the original...
Well if you're in California maybe we can do a trade once my turn comes up. Aside from the vinyl seats I don't need any bells and whistles. Seat covers are fine. I had a tacoma with hand crank windows. People laughed, but it worked for me.
Yes I will definitely be factoring everything in once the time comes. I would really like to have an electric work vehicle. Not many options right now.
Ok. That makes sense. I guess I will most likely extending my order. I imagine they will be raising the price on the next model year. Hopefully there will be some other options coming out soon. I just need a basic truck that can tow 7k locally.
I would like to know how to order a plain "pro" model. It is becoming very clear that Ford is using the pro model as a marketing ploy. There have been almost no pro models made available to retail customers. It appears that a handful of people in the very first wave of ordering were allowed...
Unfortunately that doesn't really give me a way to actually order a pro. There needs to be a way to order a pro even if "sold out". Is there no way to get on the waitlist to order a pro, or am I essentially out of luck after waiting a year or so and the pro is not "available"?
This should be...
I have my reservation from day one. I have no expectations in terms of invite date. I assume it will be a long wait. My question is what will the process be when my invitation arrives. It sounds like there has been no way to order a pro. Does anyone have any insight on how to order the...
I placed my reservation on day 1, but didn't get a confirmation until the next morning. I assumed a few things about placing a reservation that appear to be foolish assumptions.
1) I assumed a timestamp reservation would mean that my reservation would be processed in the order it was received...
