I got Betty White outfitted with the @1upusa rack and @kuatracks Pivot 2 thanks to @brickyardbikeco this afternoon. Finding the Kuat Pivot 2 is a treasure hunt. It works really well and was eyeing the driver pivot but like the license plate is not blocked with the passenger.

Miracle of miracles, it’s here! Got the call from my dealer last evening, but I wanted to wait until everything checked out in the PDI. All good, so she made it home.

Oh yes ...look at that gorgeous WILDTRAK!!!! Fabulous!! Congrats! How awesome!!

Ok, gonna see if folks on this thread can give a better answer. There was a thread going on it, but it kind of disintegrated and never seemed to give a straight answer.

Apparently there's different buttons on the center GOAT dial....depending on if your Bronco has trail control AND one pedal drive......

Here's a pic of the two (and perhaps there's a 3rd if you have a manual?).

My UNDERSTANDING is the 2.7 has BOTH features, while the 2.3 auto ONLY has trail control. Is this correct?

What doesn't seem to make sense to me is the 2.7 button has ONE icon with BOTH functions, but the 2.3 auto has TWO icons on the button but ONE function? Seems like whichever bronco had both functions would have a center button with two icons. Right?

Or, am i getting it wrong and the 2.7 ONLY has the one-pedal function?

Im a 2.7 and mine has the 4A, which I figured out the other day activities when you swap to Sport mode, didn't make much sense to me to be in 4 auto in sport mode.

So got my baby picture just now, and apparently they included a pic of her Dad too Only in true purgatory fashion would I get this.

These are not the greatest but shows my new addition.... a couple of hiccups with the dealer and my accessories were not delivered with it ( spare cover, tonneau and wheel locks ) but it is here and its mine and I love it.....

Let us know

Let us know if you find a solution. I wanted to listen to every nuanced sound, so didn't turn on any radio/music. Wind must have been 16 knots w/ gusts up to 20--white caps on the ocean as far as the eye could see. Oh, and I should note that Steamboat was more stable in the wind than I expected. Easy to control, no sailboarding.

Ummm...are you sure about the, "wind noise", that @AlvinOlson says he needs to work on??

Juss' sayin...

Got Steamboat home just now, after a sunny but windy ride up the coast. Hubby drove him from the dealer's to a coastal resort where we changed cars, and I drove the 50 mi home. A fun ride! Peppier yet more stable than I expected (or than the user manual warned us about). Things I noticed, in no particular order:

• noisy ride, partly due to stiff winds, even w/ sound deadening roof liner, but I almost never drive w/o music, so I won't notice any noise when the tunes are cranked up
  • Hubby nerded out on his leg of the trip, plugged in his play list and speakers sounded great
• comfy seats! So glad they're cloth. The leather seats in my 'stang were never comfortable
• engine shutting off at stop lights is disconcerting--I haven't learned to trust the restart as soon as brake is released and I wonder about the starter motor
• cornering not as tight as the Mustang but better than the Honda
• love the color. Gold specks sparkle in the sun!
• I'm pretty lithe for 5'2, 72--tai ji helps--but I do think I'll get steps.
• Next step: ceramic coating. Have to go around and interview some shops.
• a rattle on the passenger side that sounded more plasticky than metallic--vents?

@One Deplorable: the transaction at North Bay Ford was a breeze--in and out in 40 mins, including setting up Ford Connect and ApplePlay, getting a demo tutorial, shooting the breeze, oohing and aching at ours and some other Broncos there, showing Kyle our First Batch tumbler, etc

No ADM, no shenanigans; "non-tax" fees were less than quoted. Supposed to get the FordPass points for reservation <12/20 + for new gas-powered vehicle, but they haven't shown up in acct yet. Might take a few days. I'll PM you a couple more things.

.

Great Write up, U2 look great together. Congratulations on a wonderful purchase

Thanks @Cat ! Quite happy with her. And that you for the pre-delivery checklist. The dealer was floored that most of that list came from issues that people actually had with their Broncos. And he had no idea about the dipstick issue.

Happy to say that I was the first Wildtrak that they delivered. All were impressed

@Gatlinz I apologize, but I think they sent me your baby pic by mistake.
Is this yours?

Holy crap, that’s it!! I knew they produced it and Ford didn’t forget about me… Well I knew they produced it, but I’m pretty sure Ford forgot about me thanks for providing my baby picture. Coincidently my own personal baby picture isn’t much better lol

 

[Gatlinz]

Lemme chew on that and see what the GF thinks...I was more interested if we coulda swapped the grab handles too....i didn't realize they wouldn't match.....same thing on the center grab handle? The housing area is a different color?

I think my initial investigation would allow for the center bar to be swapped. But then you’ve got the two outside ones that would be oddball. I figured that toning down the blaring blue that is staring at you would be the first approach. And you can always use the sticker fabric to cover up the handles. That is what I probably am going to do for my handles. But those annoying AC tabs there’s not much you can do about that except for swap them

 

[Gatlinz]

yep, still locked to comments only

OK what’s the body count today? How many folks are still left in purgatory?
