Honestly, my advice if you are at all concerned with MPGs is to not buy the Bronco. You will probably get around half the MPGs of a Subaru. You can drive it like a baby and put small highway tires on it, and it might improve but it will still suck. Either buy the Bronco thinking "I don't give a shit about the MPG" or buy something else imho.

Obviously I'm not that concerned about MPGs. I've been wanting to upgrade to a truck for a while, I understand the gas mileage isn't the greatest, it will just be an adjustment to what I'm currently getting in my gutless Subie.

Any Houston people on this thread have a railcar number I can piggy back off of? As far as I know mine is still stuck up in Blue Island, Illinois.

Yep that is my rail car. I'm using Jim Tidwell.

I am in Cumming GA and we are most likely on the say train! My ETA is from 1/10-1/16. I think we all go to Atlanta then out be truck but nothing is been moving just pending here

My dealer is Billy Howell which didn't have any way of getting rail car number. How can we track it?

 

[WingedBronco]

So I'm guessing I'm either in Jersey now, or will be at some point . Says inactive so I'm not reading too much into the map. But it's now another link to track. Along w/ pizza that still says 1/04 in production and an eta of 2/04. Still no emails and dealership is . But on the plus side 3 0 0 is on the horizon

Were you shipped by railcar, Did you go to Twin Oaks before Ford Newark Ramp?

I get it, I am just making sure you know what to actually expect from a heavy, un-aerodynamic, large tired, 4x4 with a lot of HP. On my Rubicon JKU, once lifted with big tires, I was damn lucky to get 15mpg highway and 10-12 around town. These types of vehicles are TERRIBLE for gas mileage, and if you have a long commute or are on a tight budget for gas spend, then you will probably regret the purchase. Lot's of Jeep people do. Imho, just don't look at the trip computer.

My ETA is listed as 1/29 to Georgia, but it is still showing as In Production as of today.

While patiently waiting for my Bronco, I've been looking at lifts and tires. I think I want a 2" lift on my black diamond, but I also want 285/70R17s for the price and C load rating. I just can't figure out if those are going to fill enough wheel well with the lift. 295s seem to back ordered everywhere.

 

[gwrjones]

Also, my dealer did send me some pictures of other Broncos they've lifted recently to help me decide. Thought my 12/20 fam might be interested.

2 inch lift
315/70R17

3.5 inch lift
35/12.5r18

I haven't gotten any shipping info yet but I am hoping I am on that same Jersey shipment. I am picking up about 45 minutes west of Newark.

Looks like we have similar builds minus color!

I kept going back and forth on tires. You also have to factor in tread design, and actual tire size since each manufacturer is different. It's all a mess haha

Use a smart phone. A computer doesn't offer the account signup.

I was on an iPad.
edit: phone doesn’t work either

Similar builds and I'm just over the border in Greenville!

I do know I'm going with the BFG KO2s for sure because I can get a discount on them.

So far, this is all I've seen. But i only got into the United Logistic site today. My WS says I'm rail and I've shown no movement on the trackers. My guess is that I'm either on rail now or have been, or will be from Michigan to probably that location in NJ, and that's probably where it switches over to a truck.

Speaking of similarities...hello fellow Will.

Now we just need @ATLUTDFAN in here.
