Gresham Ford - Your Oregon Ford Dealership

Bronco Sport, Edge and Explorer continue to experience high customer demand. Ford Motor Company has made the decision to pause and no longer accept new 2022 Model Year Bronco Sport, Edge and Explorer retail orders after June 16, 2022.  This will enable the factory to focus on existing orders. Custom Ford orders are due from your Ford Dealer of choice to the Ford Motor Company order bank no later than Thursday, June 23rd, 2022.

Bronco Sport, Edge, and Explorer 2022 Model Year End comes to a close

Ford has become America’s favorite choice for SUVs.  The demand outside of the return of the iconic Ford Bronco has enjoyed a healthy customer demand.  As more and more residents of the NW choose to custom order their next Ford, the factory has shifted gears from building what they think consumers will like to building the vehicles that customers have “built” themselves with the help of their local Ford Dealership. 

Gresham Ford embraces Custom Ford Vehicle Ordering

An early adopter of custom ordering vehicles, Gresham Ford has embraced the advantages for customers. 

“Getting all the options you want without others that don’t fit your lifestyle is just one reason why we have been custom ordering vehicles for our customers for years, even before the pandemic.  It is a common misconception that custom orders cost more.  In fact, many of our customers find that custom ordering a vehicle often costs less than if they would have chosen something off the lot.  It really does offer a better car-buying and ownership experience when we provide choices. ” shared General Sales Manager, Preston Wills.

Existing orders of the Bronco Sport, Edge, and Explorer will be the priority at their respective factories.  Barring any commodity and/or supply chain predicaments the 2023 model year will be opened soon after the completion of the previous model year’s orders. 

Customer Experience

Gresham Ford is dedicated to keeping all of it’s custom order clients up to date on the status and stage of their order vehicle being built.  Transparency has been the driving factor behind the pricing model and customer experience at Gresham Ford for over 20 years.  The 2022 Model Year End is no different.  If you are thinking now is the time to upgrade your ride, you might be right.  Trade-in values are still at historic high levels due to the lack of used vehicle inventory across the United States.  This isn’t just another sleazy commercial phrase either.  Supply chain disruption has reduced the number of vehicles produced and pent up demand.
