In another thread where I was talking about my experience at the dealership I mentioned that the odometer had 20.6 miles when I picked it up. Today I was cleaning out the stuff that came in the glove box and I found a note from Ford explaining it:
I don't know what's still available for the Group Buy but I was one of the lucky ones to get a Bronco this week. I drove up to Bob Utter Ford in Sherman Wednesday and was in & out of the dealership in 45 minutes. Great place, great experience, no tricks.
Another follow up. Here's the display when on seat belt is unbuckled:
That's me driving and 2 kids in the middle and right back seats (back left has an empty car seat attached to the LATCH points). Back right kid unbuckled before I turned the car off and I saw this and made everyone stay...
Not very scientific but that's after 70 miles of highway driving back from the dealer, about 30 with the top and windows down. It was as high as 18.5 until I started taking my friend on a slow ride around the neighborhood.
I just went and checked. It tells you the total. number of seat belts that are buckled (I was unbuckled in the original shot). That icon doesn't indicate which ones. But a big warning message that covers most of the display comes up telling you which belt is unbuckled. It must have weight...
Just took delivery yesterday and had some observations on the manual that I hadn't seen before on the forum. I drove a manual Tacoma for 11 years, but that was 10 years ago. That was only 5 speed + reverse so no collar to unlock reverse. It might just be hazy recollection but I remember the...
4 door, 7mt, black diamond, soft top checking in from the drive way. Don't give up hope!
7/14 blend date on window sticker
7/15 Sync system checked in
7/16 Got the "built" email
7/17 Got the "shipped" email with a August 10-16 window (DFW Texas)
8/4 4 PM Got the call from the dealer that it...
Are the garage ones cheaper though? Looks like $220 front and $220 for rear retail price on the accessory website.
The $350 option for on board storage includes 4 bags and a fifth bag for front two hard top panels. I don't see any option of getting on board storage bags any other way. Not...
@Tricky Nick Are those the ones with the retaining system as in this video?
It never occurred to me until today that there were two different types of door bags, I figured the difference was just whether you added them to your order or got them later. Now it looks like all I can get are the...
Lol the door is pretty much a rectangle and just needs to be supported by the bottom. I don't think we need any high end robotics to fold a rectangle of canvas over. I was planning on using some towels until some bags are available.
Also I'm not sure a Bronco counts as a high end 4x4, which is...
I'm only just now realizing that the bags they sell are the "garage" ones. What happened to the bags that strap into the cargo area (for the 4 door)?
Also they seem to be $115 / bag on the Ford accessory website. Certainly someone can sew a rectangle of canvas for cheaper than that.
7/14 build date 5110. Noticed my SYNC module checked in yesterday. Got the build email this morning. Delivery to Bob Utter Ford in Sherman Texas August 10 - 16 according to the email.
I just discovered this thread today and learned about the Sync check in. I was bummed by no updates but I see the Sync system has checked in so it looks like it's actually building / built. Anybody seen rail / truck times to DFW? I've heard "2 weeks"
I'm blend date 7/14 rotation 5110 (I've...
Thanks for the write up. I've read all about the Off Roadeo so far (here and on the official website) and this is the first thread where I realized you don't get to take your personal Bronco there.
I thought all these reviews posted so far where just factory cars they brought out for...
