Now the Misery Begins!

[Trafficman337]

Hello Everyone,

New to the forum. Introduction, always been a Ford Guy. I have owned several Broncos over the years, mostly in the 93-96 vintage. I have a 2021 GT500 and a 2020 F150 Lariat, which the lease is up in December of 2023. I had a 2022 F150 on order, until yesterday! I drove a 2022 used Bronco at my dealership and I was hooked! I have decided to order a 2023 and after reading several of the posts here, it appears the order banks open in August. I am hoping the timing will coincide with the end of the lease of the F150 in December of 2023. I have also been reading some nightmare types of order issues, which is a concern. My GT500 took 7 months from order to delivery and that was agonizing. This appears to be much longer.

I am such a rookie when it comes to the ordering, it appears that you need a Doctorate to figure out the ordering process. I know some of the options I want, but I don't see any options to chose from for interior color (with leather), amongst other things. I am of the hope Ford will have some type of blue for the 2023, other than Performance. I am far from a "red guy", but that Cherry Pepper Red is a nice color.

So, in the meantime, I guess I will just keep reading your threads and comments, until I am actually officially ordered!

Everytime we figure out the order process, Ford changes the rules

Welcome. If you are waiting on an order, in the past they have extended leases. Just in case...

Same spot, man. Owned ever car on earth- decided that the Bronco needed to be had. I’d also prepare to go past December. Some here are nearing a 2 year mark…

only two things that you need to know.

1. Allocation > Reservation
2. May the allocations be ever in your favor.

Ford had something like 160,000 orders for bronco before they started building. And then they only build 56,00 or so last year, not all of those went to orders either.

Now Ford is catching up, but there will probably be 60-80,000 people in line ahead of you when you actually get to order.

I placed my order on 2/3 2021 if you get a Bronco before me I well never buy a Ford again.

Order a Jeep you get it sooner , you might get the next gen Toyota Tacoma sooner .

Guy local to me got his loaded 392 Rubicon in under 6 months (I think it was 4 months for a special order).

I was test driving the Tacoma I was going to buy before I found my Bronco when I felt the electronics felt dated and the cabin was too small.

Speaking to the product specialist at my Toyota said that 2023+ Tacomas are only going to have a 4 cylinder engine from now on…which is really disheartening. Coupled with the slow reaction of the engine already in Tacomas, I would not be in the market for one. They are more concerned with chasing the almighty MPG figure.

I don’t want it to sound like a bashing session, because everyone has their preference, and I was super hyped to get a TRD off road. I think it will fall flat of expectations.

As for interior options @OP you will have to look through some of the higher trims of Broncos to find what they offer. Most of the mid trims only offer cloth and MGV, but the higher options offer leather.

I received my BL 2D lux in five months from date of order. True I reserved in 8/20, but I didn’t order until 10/21.

Hows it holding up so far and any regrets? I have same trim on chip hold but squatched.... awesome pic!
