Is there any significance to the date at the bottom of my window sticker updating? This is the fourth time it has happened and it now says 2/2/22. Everything else on it look the same. My new EDD is 2/10 and CS made it sound like this is when it should actually be built. Not sure what to believe or how to read the tea leaves anymore.

It seems to change every seven days. I don't think it means anything.

Mine just changed from 02/05/2022 to 02/08/2022.

Mine went from 2/3 to 2/23 overnight.

Between car play, the Alexa enabled stuff, and just the regular stuff on the nav screen, it seems like there are so many different ways to do the same thing. I’m trying to figure out which path I like best to do what I’m trying to do..

Im just glad I figured out how to make it stop asking me to check for any babies in the back seat every time I shut it off.

Come on man, that check for babies has to be California thing?

How close are you to the dealership? there at the end, every time I headed into town, I had to cruise by the dealership, ya know, just in case.

When my Tracker said 'delivered' I ran over to the dealer and did a drive around no CO BRONCO. First thing is F they screwed up my order. So I called and found out my Bronco was actually at an offsite storage area. Whew .....

The Cyber Orange is a perfect match for the Bad Lands interior accents. Especially on the 2 DRs with the exterior paint carry through.

Oh Yeah! One of the reasons I chose Cyber Orange

Just got my Built Email and baby picture. CSX says it arrives at the train yard tomorrow!

Congratulations!

It seems so wrong that vehicles built on the same day could end up being delivered five months apart. You’d think that was uncommon, it started seeming like the whole dirt mountain fiasco was coming to an end, but here we still are. ...

Not stopping the line to deal with defects or rework is pretty common in manufacturing. Stopping continued production is seen as a financial loss, so instead the rejected goods are dealt with as labor and/or material supply allows.

This isn't the first or last time this kind of backlog will happen. Having tens of thousands of people anxiously waiting is just shining a light on something that was always happening, perhaps at a smaller scale without covidpocalypse influence.

Congratulations!

Don't congratulate me yet! You can once the Green Giant is home in the garage .

Honestly, if you buy Cyber Orange, I have no idea why you would choose any trim besides Badlands. The interior and exterior matches the color perfectly.

So true, FORD clearly chose CO for their marketing program and tied the interior / exterior together.

Yup. I think the trim on my Wildtrak is closest to A51. What is odd is the black and tan interior, imho, is not the best fit for the A51 exterior color. I ordered the WT specifically for the interior against the EG exterior, but the blue accents I think may not be ideal with the EG exterior.

That being said, my wife bought 4xE Rubicon, and the interior and stickers are all in Chief Blue. I first thought it looked bad, but in person I like the blue accents a lot. They add a nice bit of color without being overly loud.

I believe there's a company that makes stickers/overlays to change the trim colors.

PSA to those putting a tow hitch (ford assembly with wiring) on after delivery... Just got a call from the dealership and it is more work than they expected. Originally told 1/2 day of work and (not totally sure when they started since I dropped it off last night ) but it most likely will not be done by the end of the day. They will update in a couple hours.
This is a pretty busy dealership and they have had many Broncos come through before mine but I must be the first to add the tow as they underestimated the amount of work it was going to take. FYI I miss it already since it finally was warmer than 20F today on my day off.

My .02,

I’m not super handy; the Curt hitch took me 16 minutes to install. It’s $110. Easily acquired.

There were lots of compromises, I really liked the Black/Brown interior but wanted a manual. I also wanted SAS but it wasn't until I got bumped to MY22 that I was bale to get that. I wanted Wildtrak trim but couldn't get manual. At the end of the day I was able to build something that worked. Very happy with my BRONCO biggest 'get' was getting SAS in MY22 and having the manual.
