The front & middle panels as well as the clamshell will come off my 4-dr Badlands in spring and stay that way into late fall. Security, excessive noise and being windblown/chilly (or cooked out for that matter) are all distant second concerns for me compared to the joy of a topless rig. I live...
Hi, I'm a systems analyst as well as an interface designer so it struck me as odd the way you partitioned/grouped the options for the first question about Bronco model year. Why not list each year on its own? (Aside from it not looking inconsistent, it would provide you a richer data set when it...
Well after two unanswered emails to the dealer and then two phone calls, I finally got my order number and VIN from the dealer. Putting that into Ford's tracker site allowed me to confirm the week of March 2nd window. So, no the dealer wasn't scamming me after all but he certainly wasn't overly...
Thanks for your reply. The four digit order number given to me from the dealer is all numbers not alphanumeric, so as has been pointed out elsewhere, that must be the dealer's internal number for my order. And, yes, I'm well aware of the plethora of info out there on tracking but the vehicle VIN...
On Wednesday, I put a $1000 down and my dealer submitted my 2026 Badlands build to Ford.
The very next day, Thursday morning, the dealer emailed me saying (and I quote):
"Good news! Your Bronco has selected over night. Scheduled to the week of March 2nd."
He provided me with a four digit...
Congrats! Unlike you, I didnt receive an email from Ford but my dealer just informed me that my Badlands is scheduled for the same week as your Big Bend. Race ya down the line, lol. I hope the dealer is being honest because I just placed the order on Wednesday! (01/14/2026)
I think you're right about the black roof thing. I went to my local Ford dealer yesterday and they had several Badlands that had various non-black body colors but with the Shadow Black roof plus the Black Appearance Package to boot. The glossy black roof looks really, really sharp! I know from...
Ha ha, I'm not and she knows that. In fact, when I asked for her opinion she laughed and jokingly said, "why would you ask me since you're not going to take my advice anyway?" But then she went on to add that she is more than happy to give advice because, as her and I both light-heartedly know...
I would like to see a '26 in real life because on the Ford B&P site, the standard wheels look very dull compared to what's on 2025s.
No surprise but she doesn't like the Stroppe scheme. TBH, she isn't even much a fan of VB either. She was impressed with a green on green '25 that I showed her...
That's interesting Smiling, thanks; I have a close friend who is an interior designer and she also said VB for cohesiveness. She couldn't imagine the roof being anything but matching. The ironic thing is when I go to her place that, between the art & furnishings, there is every color under the...
I concur that a black Bronco with a tan roof would look fabulous but
a) my F-150 is black so I want some variety from that in my Bronco; and
b) inexplicably, you can't order a black Bronco with a Desert Sand roof or any other painted roof color besides black, I believe, for that matter. As Henry...
Hi All, I'm about to place a factory order for a '26 4-dr Badlands and only one detail of the build remains undecided:
What painted roof color goes best with VB?
Aside from completing the survey, please feel free to comment on why that chosen color.
Thanks!
