John, do we know what the standard tint is from the factory on the MIC hard top and rear windows? I donāt want to go super dark but it might look good for the front windows to match. Thanks for any insight and this might be worth doing upfront from you guys just before picking up.
I had the tow package removed from my order last week and I got scheduled today with a 4 dr Badlands, 2.7, MIC top, High package, Sasquatch. But my reservation is 7/13 night of release about 2 hrs after go live.
Who knows if deleting the tow package worked but I had the same thought. It was...
Received the email for a July 26th build and Super stoked!
Iām a 7/13 at 10:08pm EST reservation.
Build is 4 dr Badlands, 2.7, MIC top, high, Sasquatch.
I just received my build date email of July 26th! 4dr, Badlands, 2.7, MIC top, high package, Sasquatch. As an FYI I had John remove the tow package about a week ago so that constraint had been dropped.
Edit to add reservation time stamp: 7/13 at 10:08pm EST, so just over 2 hrs after go live.
I just received my build date of July 26th. My order is through Stephens Auto. A 4dr Badlands, 2.7, MIC top, High Package, Sasquatch.
Also an FYI I dropped the tow package last week from my order so that constraint was no longer in my build.
Yes, the emergency braking is in the box on the windshield. I got to see the Broncos at the Charlotte, NC event on Friday and asked one of the Reps. He was much more knowledgeable than the others and spent a lot of time with several of us asking hundreds of questions.
@HardenUp I feel the same way, great to see them and sit in one but I didnāt learn anything new. Thankful for all the info we get on the forums and the community of other crazy Bronco fanatics like me!
I think youāre spot on and we will definitely see this. Weāre getting a Bronco because I miss our old Jeep we once had and I grew up camping, hunting, and fishing out of my dads 1982 full size Bronco.
But weāre also holding on to our Audi Q5 so weāll still have a comfortable sporty SUV.
And the bad part is like many, I ordered a BL SAS for the 4.7 and plan on immediately putting Trail Grapplers on. It will really be a shame to get delayed months for tires I could really care less about but had to order anyway!
Thanks John, More great insights!
Based on my time stamp and place in line at SAC I expected to be in round #2 of scheduling in the first place. But now Iām questioning my decision to include the tow package on my build, but I did know it was listed as a possible commodity issue.
Yes very interested and glad to see this resurfaced since itās been a while since the initial thread.
1. Your config (doors/trim level) and build date if you know it. - 4dr Badlands SAS 2.7, no build date yet but early night 7/13 res
2. Have you been offroading before? - yes, but lighter...
John, just curious how many of the 16 for the first round have now been scheduled this week or last week?
Also is it your understanding that each round will be scheduled out over a 3 or 4 week period, then theyāll move to round 2 the following week?
Thanks again for all the insights and...
We all need to take a deep breath this morning. I recall reading in a different thread that Ford sends the emails out starting at 12:00pm/noon EST and it takes several hours for them to all get emailed out. So nobody should expect an email this morning.
This! Iām getting a SAS BL with 2.7 auto for the 4.7 gearing and plan to put 35ā Trail Grapplers on it ASAP. So I hope having SAS isnāt delayed for the tires I could really care less about anyway!
Justin, I just watched the video and really enjoyed it! Please keep up the great work, and Iām looking forward to your future Bronco content. #subscribed
John, so this first wave is for 1 month of scheduled production? And does that mean the next ā2nd waveā will be scheduled next month, and so on throughout the year? Just looking for clarification as I thought I read in an old thread that I canāt locate that Ford would be scheduling by quarter...
Thanks for the informative post and great pictures. There are a lot of cool mods now already to go at launch and many more where mentioned in the walk around videos so Iām stoked!
Iām still a little concerned that we didnāt already see an aftermarket front bumper with winch that doesnāt...
