Hey y'all, new here and some 2 cents worth on this Golden Ticket from Ford. Is it a true Golden Ticket, NO! A golden ticket would be for, say, 2020 GT500 with painted on stripes or CFTP or both. Another would be, winning the Ford GT lottery and getting a golden ticket. This BR Golden Ticket, is not. Here is what is happening; Ford is feeling bad about reservations that are not being filled. Therefore, Ford is using it's reservation system on a first come first served option to upgrade to a BR from existing reservations already in Ford's system. My dealership is getting 7 BR's for this very reason. Now, if I sound a little frustrated, it's because I have a deposit, #1, at my dealership for more than a year now, when Ford would release if it was a Raptor or Warthog and now, I'm being screwed when I know I had an earlier date than the reservation holders. Here is my real beef, The BR can't even be ordered until Mar '22, otherwise, I would have placed a reservation through ford over a year ago. Ford is offering the BR from a top down priority. If my dealer didn't have any reservation holders that wanted to upgrade, they would not even get one.
Just my 2 cents worth. Kudos to all that received this offer from Ford but please, stop calling it a Golden Ticket, Ford is producing many, possibly a few thousand, 2022 BR's to fill BO's at over 4000 dealerships nationwide. One more thing, the reservation holders that aren't being covered with this "Promotion" will get their allocation in 2023 or 2022 if those offered did not want the $15,000+ upgrade to a BR.
Cheers to the new BR owners. So sorry to others that had reservations at a dealership that now, will have to wait much longer.
