[Mark T]

I will see what I can do, it went form 80s to 60s and rain here in Northern MI today

I immediately thought you were in northern MI when I saw the photo with the lake. It's SO nice up there.

6.21 Production, 6.28 Blend, 7.5 delivered to dealer.

Looks great!!
I had a 6/25 blend, built 6/29, shipped 6/29, sitting in a CSX rail car since then.
Hopefully it arrives in Boston next couple of days!

That’s a tough waiting game! It’s worth the wait!

How does the rear seat A/C capability feel to ya?

Congrats! That color with those wheels are ! I'm sure this has been mentioned 10,000 times on here, but this shows how hard it is to pick a color from Ford's awful renderings.

What are your impressions of the MGV vs actual leather?

Can’t wait to get mine. Would you mind measuring the distance between the back of the console with the rear seats down, to the inside of the tailgate? Everything I've read so far are people estimating that distance.

When it was 87 and four people in the vehicle, I had no issues or complaints. I am shocked on focus on vents under the seat vs in the rear of the console. I will say, the front seats seem very well cooled and the system worked really well. I do have the hard top and headliner, plus it hasn't been that hot here this week (actually cold right now) so maybe it is a problem?

Thanks for that and I know it seems kinda trivial but with a 6yr little diva in the back seat and at times her 85lb pup....I wanna make sure it stay cool AND warm back there when it needs to lol.

Understood. I have dogs, they seem happiest windows down so far

My two passengers thought the vinyl was leather. My wife and I both find the seats comfortable. In terms of breathability and long term comfort, our seat time has been limited to under an hour so far. More reports to follow as our experience grows.

@Mattwings I'm late to the party here, but looking at your pics, I noticed the floor mats on the washout interior were cloth? Is that accurate? If so, are those the floor mats from B&P, because I'm not seeing the 'Bronco' lettering on them. Thanks for posting your breakdown.

I'm happy for you and glad to see a BL with standard wheels and tires. They look really great!

I don't care for the standard wheels and tires at all. Looks like a mall crawler. Ford could have at least put an All Terrain tire on it.
Having said that I plan on an OBX myself and will use the stock tires to drive back and forth to our vacation home 1200 miles or so round trip until they are wore out and then put some Toyo Open Country AT's on it. Then buy another set of wheels/tires for off road use and winter. When I get to our place and want to go off road just stick it in my shop and swap them out.. This way I get the best fuel economy on the back and forth trips and have better tires for off road

Hey @Mattwings
I have the same bronco coming hopefully in a couple weeks ( July 19) build week, just a stupid ? Outside of the BL trim badge, is there anywhere else on or inside the bronco that says Badlands? I was just curious ...

the wandering mind of a waiting bronco fanatic ...

Not that I have noticed.
