I need help, as part of the customer satisfaction fund, my dealer agreed to throw in some $$$$ and upgrade my tires since he knows I want bigger then are standard on the base, I’ll make up the difference in the purchase. I know NOTHING about tires. I know I want 32” put on but that is all. I will only be off-roading on drive on beaches so don’t really need anything crazy. What are some decent brands/models? He said send him a list of some I like and he will see what he can do. Since I will be paying for part of them, I don’t want anything crazy priced and high end since technically I don’t need tires, it’s just a want. I just want a decent tire that will handle the sand well and are about the Black Diamond model size.I am keeping the base wheels for now.

The thing about tires is that it's all a game of compromise and you really should buy tires based on how you will actually use them.

For example, I'm in Florida so I'm in a lot of stop & go traffic and aggressive driving where stopping power and quick maneuvering is a must. Rain is also a huge consideration here so I need excellent wet traction. It's a few hours drive to get anywhere truly "off-road" so there is no point in everyday driving noisy off-road tires that don't perform well on the highway. I run a completely separate set for those trips. Daily life is much safer, quieter, and more comfortable that way.

Based on what you're saying, you may want to consider a hybrid tire. If I had to choose only 1 set that would give me pretty good on-road performance with far more than enough tread to handle sand, I'd start with Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

These are really highly rated "do it all" tires. It's a compromise so they're not perfect at anything but they're very good at taking on most situations.

If you don’t mind that would be amazing!!! I plan on staying at 32” maybe slightly smaller, like a wider tire, and don’t plan to do a lift or change out the base wheels for right now. I will only be doing beach driving for off-road stuff. We don’t see much snow these days in Delaware either so that isn’t really a concern.

what’s your preferred beach’s in DE. Headed to ocean city this weekend and might do some beach driving

I had not heard the hood graphic was not standard.

I noticed it was missing on my picture today.

I got my confirmation for Bronco Basecamp at KOH for Friday the 4th through the weekend. Are you going to attend with or without you Bronco, @Gasmcookie? And is anyone else going?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I want to go so bad, but if I don't get my Bronco... then what? I mean we have a Suzuki Samurai and some quads, and our friend has a 2D Jeep but like, who wants those near all the cool broncos lol.

The hood sticker is applied after it comes off the line I believe, I could be wrong. Your window sticker should say WildTrak Hood Graphic. Mine does.

i am right there with you. Our delivery date was 1/22 but we were built 1/7-1/8-ish per window sticker. No trackers have ever updated past “in production 1/7”. I called ford cs today, last week and the week before. All 3 times was told it is done and passed inspection just waiting for delivery. Dealerships around us have taken bronco deliveries for people in same build week as us. All the while when i call salesman, he says he cant see anything other than what we can see. But ford tells me my dealer has more info. This morning our est delivery date changed to 2/11. I sent my salesman a long message and his response was ford is telling us something different, it is still in production. I have repeadtly asked ford and my dealer if there is a different department we can talk to to get a concrete answer. And the answer is no.
I am happy for all the people who have gotten their broncos already, but i am angry for all those who got defective ones, those who have been reservation holders from day 1 and nothing yet and certainly for us who have gotten nothing but the run around. And I feel bad for the people who are ordering lightenings and bronco raptors not knowing how much ford has botched this process and thinking they will get them in a reasonable time.

Hi...i dont see your data in the Tracking Spreadsheet for our build week. The link to it is on Page 1, Post 1.

If you add your info (from your window sticker) at the bottom of the list on the DATA tab, i will move you into the correct location. Please dont sort it...we finally got it aligned by Rotation Number and Blend date.

Thanks...and welcome to the Purgatory Party!

I just got my rail car number today and am new to this level of tracking. I called the CSX number and got my automated response (it's somewhere in Ohio) but how are folks getting all these maps and whatnot? And is it ok to share the rail car number, I'm hoping to find some fellow trackers to disperse the load

We're making our own maps with Google, MS Paint, and/or Adobe Photoshop lol. No reason you can't share your rail car number, too!
If you look many pages back, we discussed how to automate the automated system so that you don't have to say or dial your rail car info. Phone will do it for you if you type the number in a certain way before dialing. Enjoy the train stalking!

Thanks @Gasmcookie! I checked, and it is on the sticker.

I was about to stick my head in our oven. It’s electric, but it’s the intent that counts.
