Same here. I'm number 1 on my dealer list and have July 13th reservation. But the tow package, safari bar, and hardtop are delaying my BD build scheduling.
I'm trying to be patient. It's not working so well.
My dealer told me two weeks ago my order had been "Previewed" but not yet scheduled.
I'm number one on their allocation list with a July 13th order I got in about 2 hrs after the website went live with a BD, 2D, MT, hardtop, two package, 2.3L build.
Can anyone explain what being PREVIEWED...
My dealer is putting 285/70/17's on my BD upon arrival. Just have to decide which ones I want. Probably go with the KO2's. But the Toyo AT3 is also an option.
My dealer said they'll likely give me 90-100 credit per tire they take off the Bronco.
1. Fires me up for my Race Red choice.
2. I love that sandstone interior. Look is fantastic. Wish I could get it on my BD build.

4. Greatly appreciate the OP for...

I'm not a rocket scientist nor an economist . . .but if you can afford a 50K Bronco, you can afford purchasing another cooler that'll fit in the back if your current cooler does not.
I've got a $$$ F-250 Lariat supercrew in the driveway that's paid for. First year I had it I put small dents in 2 quarterpanels, ripped the plastic top off the tailgate, got some paint on it, busted out a window that had to be replaced, and generally abused the hell out of it simply USING it...
I had this same decision.
At it's core I asked myself, "self, are you going to do rock crawling and very hard core off roading". The answer was no.
BD was significantly cheaper, is still an EXTREMELY capable 4WD vehicle that will take me everywhere I need to go camping/hunting/mountain...
