Mine now says built - orderd 12/6, scheduled production 2/5, in production 1/29, built 2/6. Four door Wildtrak hardtop lux. For Alaska I'me guessing 6-8 weeks for shipping, we shall see.

Mine was scheduled for 2/5 build week and went into production 1/29. Wildtrak lux hardtop. Have the window sticker, blend date 02/05, #1482. 113/284? Shipping by rail to Alaska, which probably means by rail then sea, then rail. Dealers think it'll be here in April. Orderd 12/06/23 and they...

What an insult by Ford. Proof that they think their American customers are a bunch of rubes. The excessive nanny state vehicle regulations by our tyrannical government no doubt play a large role in this, which is ironic to say when we’re comparing to the PRC.

I know I'm in the minority but I don't think the loss of "4A/advanced 4x4 w/ automatic on-demand engagement" is a huge deal even in winter weather. If it's actually slippery I will go to 4H every time. There is significantly less slipping and sliding that occurs in icy/snowy conditions in 4H...

I think this is reflective of ample inventory and relatively few orders coming in. I ordered 12/6 and got a build date of 2/9, just a tad over 2 months. Also a wildtrak with almost the same options.

No, but I ordered on Dec 6th 2023 and my '24 wildtrak is scheduled for production Feb 9th, so only a 2 month wait time for production.

If there is a layer of snow or at least some frost/melt on everything 4H all day, I don't think going to slippery GOAT really makes much difference for me in 4H but I usually go into Slippery anyway for peace of mind. The problem is that in mixed dry conditions with occassional icy patches, I...

Honestly the Bronco Sport, even the non-badlands does really well on slippery winter roads. My wife's daily is a full size OBX and I have a Sport OBX, although I pretty much just take whichever one strikes my fancy every morning (city driving in Alaska, mostly). And yes I know a real "full...

Nice! I have a 24 wildtrak on order, same color. Is it close to burnt orange for you? I’m hoping so, I scoped an out a maverick in the color before I ordered mine. Looks kind of maroon/crimson on sunny days sadly but if it’s a bit cloudy it does give the orange vibe. When I was in school...

So the follow on question to that of course, is how much accelerated wear occurs on the drivetrain if one drives in 4A continuously in mixed conditions or some stretches of dry pavement?

Really? That IS weird, mine definitely shows power to all 4 wheels all the time in 4 auto on the display (both axles are blue). Doesn’t matter if I’m cruising at 55 mph or giving it full throttle from a stop light. I’ve been doing all kinds of different stuff in 4 auto to try and make it only...

GOAT modes are what I was talking about when I say it doesn't make a huge difference, assuming I override the default drive modes within those GOATS (override normal that defaults to 2H and put it into 4A or 4H, override slippery that defaults to 4A and put it into 4H, but iirc it won't let you...

Mostly testing this stuff out in Normal using the different drive mode switches (4A/4H/2H) but also slippery, doesn't make much difference. The tires have 2000 miles on them.

Thanks, maybe I will try the Hakkas when I wear these tires out. Good to know that it is the electronic stability control applying brakes when I hear the grinding, maybe I will experiment with turning it off, which if I understand the manual correctly can be done by pressing the traction...

35 +/- 2 psi , guess it might be worth a try running lower.

I have a 4 door '23 outer banks non-sasquatch with Cooper Discoverer Snow Claw 275/65r18 studed winter tires. This Bronco has the full time advanced 4x4 transfer case option. And to get this out of the way, no I've never driven a regular RWD pickup or Jeep at all, although I had a Mustang GT...

Yes, the order form with price was signed by the Manager but I have no expectation that any of that is legally binding. I'll just leave and never darken their door again if they mark it up. There is actually the exact Wildtrak I ordered sitting at a nearby dealership in antoher town, but it's...

I did get a signed order form (which isn't a purchase agreement I guess), and I told them flat out repeatedly that I'd walk away if they added anything over what we agreed. I actually was kind of wanting to wait for 2025 model year if I was going to get a non-raptor but since they didn't want...

Thanks all, I went by the dealership today and checked out a Maverick in hot pepper just for comparison. That color seemed close enough to an Orange that I decided to just order a 4 door wildtrak in that color. No deposit required so time will tell if the dealership will honor MSRP, but I...

I'm thinking of upgrading my little Sport to a Bronco, and love the code orange color. Do you think the 2023 Bronco Raptor is going to be the last chance to get one in this color for a long time or will they reintroduce it? The raptor is a lot of money but I've had my Bronco Sport stuck up...
