Aware, but it's one less thing to dye/paint/modify when all I have to do is $5 for shipping...especially when there won't be an immediate aftermarket for Bronco parts.
I'll have the Black Diamond, I'll glady swap out for the orange Badland handles since I'm going Cyber Orange, possibly the vents too if they're easy enough to take off.
I'm just glad they offered colors outside of the normal realm of Ford colors - Cyber Orange, Area 51, Cactus Grey, etc.
I don't disparage people wanting Green, you like what you like - but it's one of the least accepted colors on the market. If not offering Green was one of the overall...
Last month it was "Transmission made in China?" and the month before that was "What does 'By' mean?"
I can't wait for next month's theme. It's been a road, boys.
This is the manual vs automatic argument all over again. Sure, the automatic is more efficient, but does it capture the essence of the pure driving experience that some crave? No.
Everything is relevant. Some people want the First Edition because they want the extra experience some will not...
Honestly, I think they had a much 'fuller' plan before the global economy took a dump, and the pandemic hit. Keep in mind the Bronco has been in development for years - strategic development most likely designed a full roadmap of how this thing was going to come out. I think the reveal itself...
It's a personal choice for me...I like the manual because I enjoy shifting my own gears, but not everyone's into that.
Regardless, don't let some of the yahoos on this forum talk you out of a 2.3 if that's what your into, manual or not. The half dozen or so first-hand reviews on this site all...
We could have a site-wide competition...submit your own chair-throwing videos. Multiple categories...the farthest chair thrown, most damage done by chair thrown, etc.
I kind of have both worlds right now...I got the full vinyl flooring option in my 2017 F-150 with the standard cloth seats. The cloth isn't horrible, but getting stains out is not easy whatsoever.
In regard to road noise, i'm not sure how much of a difference that would make - but you can...
Unfortunately only one that I know of...

I wish there were more!
People who test drive it, and offer real feedback > People on the forums who never drove the 2.3, bitching about it because it's not a V6
Thanks for the report!
I see a recurring theme with a lot of these "in-person" accounts of the Bronco. I, like everyone here, is obsessing over every detail...which can be unhealthy and lead to blowing up over small details that ultimately don't matter. So it's awesome and refreshing to hear that's it's all the more...
