I don't know if I'd disprove it yet knowing how spotty Ford emails can be. I see other email references to early reservation and fordpass points. Just not the 220k one
Non-FE, I got a Badlands. I had the option to get either FEs when I reserved but then I can't get a 7 speed and I consider this to be the last great hoorah of the manual.
As said in this thread there are several non-FE 4dr builds with window stickers. I might have even seen someone with a 9/7...
What vehicles were they in? I still have have my first new car, a 05 Tacoma. I learned stick in and it now has 170K+ miles on the OG clutch. I learned in the hills around Pomona and Yorba Linda and not going to lie smoked the clutch way harder than I should have a few times early on as people...
Sounds like my last deployment. We had Toyota coaster buses to get us around the main base. Lots of people said they knew how to drive stick....
These things also had a 1st gear so low it was practically a crawler gear yet people stalled them all the time. You can imagine they were beat to...
I wonder if it's possible to utilize an AUX switch for the override button? It poses pros and cons, it to me would be cleaner looking than an add on button but it's location isn't really in reach without getting into the vehicle.
Things to explore when these are available to us normies.
Aluminum oxidizes to a whitish color and when it does it will bubble the paint. So if you're seeing red/brown its contamination that originated elsewhere. If it were me I'd clay bar it and see what happens, because I already have it and it's easy to do.
I just watched it. Sure looked like mount flex is what caused the ball rolling for it's demise. I'm not sure a warn would survive that kind of deflection either.
I checked only because of this thread. My last build date update came and went without any reschedule update so I had no idea when my next "proposed" build week would be.
It was a nice surprise, let's hope the pleasant surprise momentum keeps going.
On top of what you said, where would they store these? There's no protected storage areas for masses of topless Broncos to sit inside while they wait for tops. They only have outdoor lots and unless Ford wants to do build vehicles twice they wouldn't leave it outdoors exposed. It would be stupid...
Have you tried blowing in it?
Seriously though you should be able to force a reset by holding the volume/home button and the skip/next button for 10 seconds until it force power cycles.
check for your window sticker on forddirect at the end of this week. I only checked mine on a whim because I saw this post
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/badlands-mic-built-date-08-30-window-sticker-and-blend-date.22802/
My last emailed build week was 8/30. I never got an updated build...
Since May lol
I've been bumped a lot. I'm thinking Ford sent out a worst case scenario for the no more MIC tops unless you're a FE or have a VIN. Later I think they might squeeze some more hard tops in when they get an idea of production for the V2 MIC.
W00T!! I have a blend date of 9/8 for a MIC 4 door Badlands. They're restarting hardtop production again!! 🥳🥳🥳
I resigned myself to it being a November/December delivery Christmas present
