I'm more interested in your F-150 that went on gravel roads for years and emerged with zero wear and tear. Fuck the Bronco. I want a truck that can do that! But where I live, every vehicle I see that has done hard time off-road has plenty, plenty, plenty of scars to show for it. I've never known...

Depends how far in the past and how regulated the financing institution is. If the terms of the loan are based on the value of the collateral, the bank needs to get a certain amount of coverage and the regulators will look at whether the banks follows its underwriting guidelines when they...

Yeah, my thought exactly. This is definitely starting to verge on monster truck territory!

I have a CO First Edition and I haven't seen another bronco around here. I see Bronco Sports - not exactly a commonplace sight, but I have encountered them. Broncos on the road remain very scarce. These days, you can often see one at the local dealer, which indicates that deliveries are...

Had a similar situation. I ended up buying a cheap runaround to bridge the gap until the Bronco arrived. If you are reasonably savvy about how you do this and take care of the temporary car then the cost of doing so (assuming you sell it when the Bronco arrives) will be substantially less than...

Why does it make you sick? I've never understood this. You do not need to buy it. Nobody does. And the person who does buy it will prefer having the car to having the money, otherwise they wouldn't! Nobody loses. People unwilling to pay this price are unaffected. Someone who wanted a Bronco real...

Be careful what you ask for. If past experience is any guide, Ford will plug this loophole up in an upcoming software release and will most likely take the position that you have voided your warranty if anything even moderately expensive crops up. If you're going to do this, at least make sure...

I'd say that horse is already out of the barn.

Been a fan for a while, but my fandom is diminishing. The current sport has a number of issues. The rules have gotten so complex that they don't really let the drivers race. The current champion is an effete, elitist, unlikeable individual and his team principals are equally unlikeable - as...

You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

I get that. I recent bought a shooting brake that has been in very limited supply and had a similar experience. They had one of these hard to find things on the floor and said there would be ADM reflecting vehicle scarcity. I went to the dealership prepared to offer MSRP to buy it immediately...

Just to make it abundantly clear that the OP had nothing whatsoever to do with that

I agree they won't last forever, but I'm seeing this kind of pricing stay surprisingly persistent on desirable items for really long periods of time. The whole world has been turned upside down by these supply chain issues, which I can't talk about with any specificity because my post will be...

That to me is a very slippery answer. "The customer you are referring to did not have a signed buyer's order." Well why not? He paid you a deposit as if he had an order, didn't he? I can't help but suspecting that these dealers gulled some of their customers into thinking they'd done everything...

This is sickening not only because its so horrible to have the truck treated so badly when you've anticipated it for so long - but also because who knows if this is the only damage? If you are contemplating taking it, if I were in that situation I would get with the dealer and a mechanic and go...

Just as some additional data and perspective n the current situation, numerous folks on a local message board (San Diego area) are complaining that dealers are generally stickering everything on the lot (new and used) with an across-the-board $2500 markup. (This is not Ford or Bronco specific...

Yeah but keep in mind these wraps do not last forever. Eventually they start to peel back at some of the edges, usually the more complicated bits go first. Also if you live in extreme climate (say, Phoenix) and the car is out a lot you might see some cracking and yellowing from that. So yeah...

I think it's actually kind of the opposite generally for manuals (not specific to Bronco). The rate of uptake for manuals is miniscule. So the cost to make them, stock parts for them and warranty them has to be amortized over a small population of cars. But you are right, people who want...

Simply awesome. To see a full size vehicle executing those super technical Moab obstacles just makes you stop and appreciate the engineers who conceive and build these things. And to see that after such a long wait is like a cold glass of water after a year in the desert. I look forward to...

I'm not sure I get what the fuss is about. I have no issue with a small rural dealer wanting to use the internet to compete with larger dealers. That's one of the great things about the internet - you can reach anyone anywhere if you have a compelling business proposition. The problem is, they...
