That sucks. We basically have a similar order minus the sas and mine was built fairly quickly and is now awaiting shipment. Expected delivery next week.

This drove me nuts when I ordered my 26. Dudes with basically same build as me flew right through mine got pulled 28 days for a QC check. To make it worse it came in and I couldn’t live with the new grab handles they bothered my ocd being in line of site. So I went and grabbed a left over 2025.

Yeah that kind of stuff can drive a person insane.
I was glad to get the grab handles with the 26 but then noticed while watching YouTube videos that they stick out and look like they might be in your view while seated and even be easy to bump your head on getting out.
Guess I’ll have to wait and see just how bad they are when it arrives next week.

I just can’t get over the randomness in Ford’s scheduling and of course I’m a little jealous! My order date was in December!
Congrats though!

Well my weekend was fun. Picked up the new Bronco on Friday and I basically just drove around and tinkered in the garage all weekend learning how to take things off and put them back on plus add on the few mods that I had already purchased.
So worth the wait! The 2 door MT is just a blast to drive!
The first thing that jumped out when I got in for the first time was that I had no idea there was a Gunner's Hatch in the top for the back seats. I guess this a feature for the color matched hard tops? Nice addition. Although it's a little awkward to remove and install.
Someone mentioned they hated the new A pillar grab handles added for 2026. The videos online made it look like they would be in your field of view or easy to bump your head on when getting in and out. However, I like the addition. They are in a great spot to grab when getting in and I don't even really notice these when driving. Certainly haven't come close to bumping my head on them. The driver's side is nearly hidden when seated. The passenger side does protrude out a little bit into your view but, that window on the 2 door is huge and there's plenty of visibility. Certainly more than the Dodge Challenger I was driving before this. I guess the perspective from a 4 door would be a little different and if you're the type to drive with the seat far forward they might get in the way. But for me, they're just right. My daughter pointed out that the front passenger has a total of 4 "Oh Sh*t!" handles!

Probably the best reason to get a 2 door. That hatch is so cool.
