Thanks for the excellent info!
I’ve been loading bikes under a canopy on a Tacoma five foot box for about fifteen years. It’s got the same challenges you’ve described - keeping the front ends of the bikes away from glass, pulling the saddles and seat posts, etc.
I’ve got the fork down blocks...
May I ask how far back you mounted the Saris rack, measured from the centre of the rack to the tailgate? And what's the total length from the back of the front seats when pushed right back to the tailgate?
Very occasionally we carry three bikes; I am hoping I can get three bikes on the 60 side...
If you can get to the window sticker using the VIN and this site:

The order number is 4 characters indicated by the red arrow; in this case 1338.
Check out message #100 in this thread. It might be an airbag holdup.

Our Badlands shipped on May 15th and arrived in the Ogden CP Rail auto compound in Calgary over the weekend. No Canadian counter tariffs were applied; either it's CUSMA eligible or Ford qualified for the performance-based remission framework that's part of this ridiculous trade war.
It should...
Just want to thank you for posting these pics - your idea of elevating one bike enough to move them closer together is an excellent one. Hopefully our Bronco will be here in the next week or two, and I can put together something similar to yours.
There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to this; we'd all love to know what the story is. There is an October 16, 2024 order from the dealer I ordered with that is virtually identical to mine, including the M/T, and it's been stuck "In Production" since May 6. My order was made November...
We drove automatics in the 2.3 and 2.7 and we strongly considered buying one. They were great. We may still end up with one if there’s tariffs applied importing into Canada. The manual transmission might drop the CUSMA content enough for duties to get expensive. I have my eye on a 10 speed 2.7...
I ordered about the same time you did. The first manual transmission builds for 2025 models were the week of April 28th. I don’t know if anybody ever found out what the holdup was.
From what I understand, manual transmissions are only 3% of Bronco production. A dealer with allocations left is your best source of info.
You might find this of some use. Good luck!
We're looking forward to this vehicle too. My wife had a Jeep CJ7 or YJ in the 90s, and always wanted something in that vein. I had a Jeep Renegade on order in 1976 and went travelling to Africa instead. So this is realizing a desire we've both had for quite some time.
Things have really picked...
Again, from what the dealer says, when a vehicle is delivered, he has a website where he enters the VIN and it barfs out the tariffs. No tariffs have been applied to any 2025 sale from what he tells me. It should be very easy - he could use any vehicle shipped from the US after 12:01 a.m. EDT on...
