Juice worth the squeeze?

Disagree 100%. Communication is key and far simpler than people think. I work in high level advertising and PR and can say with complete certitude that they could easily communicate whatever the issue is if they chose to do so. Also, there is such a thing as consumer rights, it's not an "entitlement". I dont't think it's out of the ordinary to expect that a consumer paying 60K for a product be informed about said product. You see examples of this every day in legal disclaimers, back-of-label inregients lists, and lemon laws, just to name a few.

With all that, I understand I can "walk away" at any time, and still just might. But, surely you aren't saying that a massive miscommunication from Ford corporate is totally inexcusable are you?

being in advertising and PR you should be able to imagine the manpower and budget it would take to collect and report minute changes at each factory on each shift and collate them in real time and notifying each order holder of what might turn out to be a quickly remedied "problem" or false alarm. In a very small segment of overall sales as well. My experience ordering my Maverick was no matter what communication Ford puts out- people are going to immediately start asking all kinds of follow up questions and many will complain the communication content was useless to them anyways. That is on display in this forum and others. Ford is damned if they do and damned if they don't here.

I'm aware of consumer protections, but that comes after the fact of a purchase and not being happy with something. You aren't a Ranger consumer here, yet- only an order holder. And you introduced the term entitlement in the post I responded to and included in my reply.

Hey captain obvious, I was reviewing my post attempting to find the part where your plebeian opinion was requested. Now go back in your mom’s basement and come back out when you have something helpful/relevent, (look it up). Read:FU!

wasn't responding to you there Captain Kangaroo. OBVIOUSLY, reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

This is my point, I dont think this is a "minute" problem. The rust issues, the wrong seat issues, those could be considered "minute"... so, whatever the issue with the Jan builds is likely more serious than those.

Listen, man... waiting sucks and is frustrating... being told the truck would be here almost 60 days ago and it not showing up is frustrating... but that lack of communication, combined with all of the various reported issues now cropping up, whether you like it or not... is concerning. I'm now seriously considering cancelling not just because of the wait... but the wait combined with all the QC issues that are now being found with the trucks that were released.

With issues like rusting and mismatched seats in trucks that WERE relesed... what could be the issue with the trucks that have been held for 60 days or more with no end date in sight?

At the end of the day, transparency and communication would go very far in answering these questions on the consumer end.
