Ugh - fine, guess I'll dremel it!

That's the go-get-em' spirit we need around here!

So, last week (Friday 4/11) I ordered from the same link that was posted on Pg 3:

https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-instrument-panel-storage-compartment-n1wz2606202la

When i ordered, the part was still $52.25 + Shipping

a few days later, i got an email that the part is on back order and they will ship as soon as they get a new one in.

Today, i was at the dealer i bought my ranger from and thought, what the heck, might as well ask if there's any chance they have one in stock. Parts guy tells me nope, and not only that, no one in all of the USA has one. then he goes, "wait a minute, it has a new part number" so he looks up the new part number and:

The good news is, it is supposed to be released at the end of the month!

The bad news is, it's WAY more expensive!

Damn, it is nice to have, but not THAT nice.

I googled the Lariat part number "N1WZ2606202LA" and some sites already have the information that this part had been replaced by the N1WZ2606202LB, for 5x the price.

Guess the party is over and I arrived late

But let's be honest here, that 50 bucks was clearly wrong. I bought way smaller and simpler parts for more than that.

I got the same message. Looks like Ford realized they mispriced and corrected. Those who got it for $54 are lucky. Worth it at that price. Not worth the adjusted price.

Yup, not worth it now

so, just got off the phone with the dealership that was handling my order.

they told me the part number I ordered was obsolete and the new part number was ~$245 and if I wanted to re-order it, they could have it in their warehouse in about 3 days. So (for now) i told them to just cancel my order. Was hoping they’d honor the original purchase price but didn’t expect them to. May still pursue this later as imo there’s just not enough in-cab storage. That being said i’m not utilizing what i do have, yet. Lol

I'm going to cancel my order too. it's been on order for two months now. Really don't need the extra room anyway. For $52 it was worth it but not for $245.

 

[RangerDangerStranger]

I said as soon as they got wind of it.. Yep. LoL.

Joe the consumer just can't avoid the in this country...

Gotta keep eyes on the junkyards, now.

I got the same gig. After months of waiting, I contacted the vendor. Ford caught on and changed the part number and jacked the price up. Order canceled. Dealer said they would NOT honor the original deal.
