🛠 1/3/22 Build Week Group

I sent an e-mail to them asking for pics of the front flaps, as they don't show them on the website. Video is not for a Bronco.

At $80, seems almost too good to be true. We shall see.

yup.. that is 1/10 of the Ford Price.

No...no option to enter VIN anymore.

Well THAT sucks. At least it will save me from myself. I can’t be TOO greedy right? Finally got moved to that built status let’s see how long it takes to ship….4.5 hours away from MAP to my dealer

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?

@Tarheel_Wes , your post (and my growing annoyance with the quirks of the 562-pg Bronco User Manual as I try to configure Steamboat) reminds me of when I used to work at Apple with the Human Interface Group. We had a brilliant and funny Apple Fellow, Don Norman, who wrote The Design of Everyday Things. It's a critique of objects with interfaces that don't make sense--like stove knobs laid out horizontally when the burners are arranged in a square so you can't tell which knob controls which burner. The cover illustration seems like your possibly mismatched gear sticks.

Documentation Fees are typically determined by the state auto dealers association and is the same on all new or used purchases. This fee is typically non-negotiable too. It does vary from state to state, however. I have heard of it being as high as $995 in some states.

Whew! Legal limit is $85 in CA and that's what we got charged.

And to be clear, those photos are not mine I pulled them from that other thread, my goat dial is attached

I believe the difference is between the 2.3 in the 2.7 the 4A part of it is irrelevant

but it does seem like Ford got it “opposite”

I’m still just trying to get someone to confirm that the 2.7 does have BOTH Modes while the 2.3 only has the one mode

My rear seat cover from Duluth trading co. for our dog just came in. My Husky mats are supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

Hopefully they are able to send you pics, it would be interesting to see how they accomodate both tube steps and rock rails. It's strange that they have that note though since the Wildtrak doesn't have rock rails and tube steps as standard equipment, correct?

Finally!!! After almost a week and a half sitting in the depot 20+ miles away my baby is now in the lot at Apple Valley Ford 4.5 miles away. I almost fell out of my chair when they called and I now know how fast the my wife's Mustang Mach E is when the right person drives it Now all I need to do is bride the Aftermarket guys with beer and money to see if they can finish fast

The Wildtrak question was just the first. They then asked if you have the bigger tires. They should have just said sasquatch only.

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

I'm with you and will likely just get accustomed to pushing the button every time I start the Bronco.

I didn't want to be bothered pressing the button every time, so on Tuesday I installed the Autostop Eliminator. Very straightforward installation, but I did break two panel clips. No biggie as I was prepared with replacement clips from Amazon.

I am curious about the choice in images now too.

How do you initiate 1-pedal? I knew that button was for trail control, but is 1-pedal somewhere else? I havent used any of those features yet.

Edit: looks like it is supposed to be the same button. Did they screw up which dials go in which? LOL

I assembled the GatorTrack ones from Ford, but have not installed them yet.
It clearly says not compatible with my steps, but reading the forums, there is a method of moving the steps back to accommodate. We shall see. Hopefully the weather will be nice this weekend and I can work on it. It has been raining the last couple of days.

The method and instructions i got from Gatorback is to install them backwards. And, that requires drilling a new hole for the middle fastener.

Or...just saw off a few inches from the front.
