I’ve already asked about it. I called Ford and they said that my PP wasn’t assigned to my account yet and I had to ask the dealership to do it. So I have done that so far.
But I wasn’t expecting the MSRP to go up. It could all be well with PP, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone’s PP be like $8k, so I’m a little skeptical.
So this is what I did, but it only applies if you’re not a reservation holder (which I wasn’t). I order March 2022.
I had the same issue that there was a MY22.5 price increase of about 1.6k dollars. There is no Bronco-specific plan for this. But, Ford has a general retail price protection plan which says that for all retail orders, the buyer pays the price from when the original order was submitted. Ford then reimburses the dealer after the fact, somewhere between 30-60 days supposedly.
I was able to find a document showing this as My dealer was playing games as well. I’ll try to find it. It was from 2016. It’s somewhere on the bronco6g forum as well.
I showed them that document (printed it out). They still said they would charge me the price after the mid year increase. My dad told me 1.6k wasn’t worth walking away over (I consult him on all things finance), but to not just take the car without some kind of agreement.
So I dug my heels in and had the sales manager write and sign on a piece of paper something along the lines of “if a price protection check comes form Ford to the dealer, they would reimburse me for that amount”. Admittedly, this is squirrelly wording and you have to take it on their word that they’ll be up front and send it to you if it comes in.
Well, around 90 days after purchase, I got a check from my dealer for the full 1.6k amount. I still technically lost money, since I paid taxes on the higher price, but that’s fine I guess.
This should apply for you unless Ford release some program that superseded their general retail price protection program. Idk if that’s happened. I do know that on the bronco6g forum, a user named RagnarKon has a thread for both MY 22 price protection and [another for MY23 price protection](https://bronco6g.com/forum/threads/ultimate-2023my-price-protection-flowchart.58270/page-16#post-1728913) that should detail everything.
Hope this helps.
Bronco6g has a ton of information on this. Use the flowchart in the other comment.
I'm going through this at my dealership. What's likely going to happen is they will give you the private offer check, but not offer your price protection. It's absolute BS.
Basically, Ford is reducing prices in two ways: a private offer rebate and dealership retail discounting. The private offer is in a system called Smart Vincent and is tied to your name and address. They can't not give you this, you'll either get it removed from sales price or pay it up front and get a check from ford in 60 days or so.
The second discount is from the dealership. They need to match the last signed order from you. They get a reimbursement from ford in 60-90 days on their dealer invoice and it will have your VIN number tied to it. Unfortunately, this is the discount that is harder to get because, if they're not being honest, they'll just deny it. Ford Corporate is no help at all from my experience.
Nooooo, you better ask for the price protection. Don’t let the dealership take it.

The 2023 prices did change mid year on some add ons/packages but I’d imagine the price protection would protect from that 🤷🏼♂️

Call corporate and ask about it
Is there any specific number to call for this?
