My only hesitation is on-road behavior of the sasquatch 35” vs. the badlands’ 33s.

Are you planning on doing this?

Is there a way to test drive even if your dealer has said the only way to drive before buying is to wait until the reserved orders are filled?

We're planning on ordering and then driving it when it gets delivered. We'll just back out if it doesn't turn out to be what we are hoping for.

All I really need to do is sit in the seat. I have a lower back thing that needs good lumbar support and we haven't really seen the final electric adjustable seat.....but other than that, I would buy it with out driving it for sure.

If they are not on the mannequin program then yes but most of us will have them prior to delivery to drive...

However not prior to order date in December...

I'd be OK if it showed up on my driveway with less than a quarter mile with a big bow on it.

I think/hope he means to ask if you will get to test drive the one you ordered before signing the paperwork, right?

I would hope to get at least a seat-test..right Albert? Pretty please?

Yeah, I'm ordering without driving or even seeing one in person. You either want it or you don't. It's a platform for further modification to fit my needs. I don't expect perfection.

I will test drive MY Bronco before I sign the paperwork. Any issues identified prior to taking ownership will have to be resolved.

Every person who has a Bronco on reserve can test drive it before purchasing.

It's simple, once your "ordered Bronco" arrives at the dealership, you test drive it then...and look over everything...before you sign any documents. If you are not happy, you just walk away.

It's not a rare car
You can test drive then buy at your convenience

175k pre orders, many are duplicates or will cancel because of the long wait, or the bronco may not be in their budget. It wouldn't be shocking at all to see a 50+% dropout rate

If this was a low production or exotic thing then ordering without a test drive might be the only way to get one. But this is just a ford truck, any supply issues will be short lived

If you absolutely care most about being one of the first then go crazy, but if you're a person who waited years already what's waiting a couple months more going to hurt?

My dealer is saying no test drive, I think this means they didn't order their own.

I would be okay walking away if I am not happy with my order when I see it - but doesn't that mean I have to eat some kind of deposit?

Does anybody know what that is going to be?

Your dealer should not require a deposit at order time. If they do, find another dealer.
