Interesting topic and I thought I would add a little twist.
Sacrifices to get the Bronco:
* the ride and amenities I have come use to in my Volvo
* a truck bed
* receiving my new vehicle any time soon!
Sacrifices with choosing the Black Diamond:
* front parking sensors (love them on my Volvo)
*...
I do like the idea and I am a fan of retro design that is done well. I think the new Bronco is a very good palate on which to unleash some creativity. The lead designer, Paul Wraith has done some interesting videos/interviews/podcasts that were very informative as to the design process; I...
A Black Diamond in that Sage Green with the Steelies...!? One can only hope for such a perfect combo.
Oh yes and thanks for your work on this. Great job!
I was reviewing the features of the Mid Package and I noticed something interesting. Under the Sync 4, 8 inch Screen with swipe, etc. they list a feature titled adaptive dashcards. Has anyone seen anything about this feature? Thanks
I am reluctantly considering the silver. I say reluctantly because I see silver vehicles EVERYWHERE! My wife's Honda is silver and it is attractive and it handles heat and dirt very well.
Here are my Pros/Cons for Silver
Pros:
It contrasts well with the other items on the vehicle like...
I got an automated reply from the General Manager right after my order. Later that morning an email from a sales rep asking to confirm my email to which I responded yes. A week later I called to speak to that sales rep and finally got the Sales Manager. He was vague and distant and asked me...
Here is how I expect it to go. There will be a window of days in which we have to place our order in December. Once that is ended then Ford will assess the orders/reservations, determine their build cycle and then send a projected timeline to customers and dealers. I expect that they will...
I just test drove a Ranger with the 2.3L. Half way up the entrance ramp to the interstate the salesman said punch it to see what it’s got. I hit it, merged onto the road and looked down and I was doing 80, effortlessly. I had to do a double take because it got to 80 really quick! I notice very...
I agree that the Wrangler sales are in trouble, but I think we also have to consider the Toyota 4Runner. Structurally the Bronco is closer to the 4Runner than the Wrangler. On my test drive list the 4Runner is rating higher than the Wrangler primarily because of drivability. I really like the...

Thanks for your perspective and enthusiasm. Sorry for the long post but as I began typing it just flowed. I have been researching my next vehicle for more than the last year (my wife is a patient soul). I have refined my criteria to include the following: 4WD, rugged appearance, current...
Is anyone else wondering how long Ford will continue the reservation process? I know the continuation pads their "Corporate Ego" and they are probably shooting for the "Best Ever". If I were a Ford dealer I would not be happy with this. This puts their inventory on a massively popular vehicle...
Floridian by birth but currently serving the nation in Virginia. Will retire to The Villages, Florida in 1-2 years. Getting a Black Diamond for my daily driver/adventure/late midlife crisis/retirement vehicle.
I am not surprised that the steel wheels on the BD are polarizing for those selecting this trim. While I do very much like the look of the steel wheels, I think the reason I like them on the BD is because this trim will look so much different than any of the other trims. The wheels on the...
