I have not received my Bronco yet(MGV). I thought about this when ordering as I have had Jeeps and convertibles with all 3 interiors. Even cloth seats can the get the back of my shirt soaked on a hot day as all of them have heat issues when it is hot or they are out in the sun, so I went MGV...
I have had several Jeeps and I keep the top down a lot. My Jeep would get rained in enough that I kept the rain plugs at the bottom of the floor out all the times. I might do the same with the Bronco and I did not order the leather seats for my Bronco because those come with carpeted flooring...
I have had several Jeeps in my life and I have the top down, and get caught in the rain, all the time. One of the reasons I am not getting leather seats is because they come with carpeted flooring and carpeted floors get wet and cause interior humidity issues for a few days when you put the top...
According to the Bronco BL 2D configurator, for $160 I can get front and rear liners without carpet floor mats or $160(same price) front and rear liners with carpet floor mats. I guess I am going for the one with the carpet mats just because the carpet mats would be free?, but let me know if...
Thanks - I was thinking that I would get price protection for the 2022 pricing, similar to the people that had ordered before 3/20/21 and have protection for the 2021 model. I will probably post another thread to see if anyone has been able to pay for a 2022 or do anything to get a purchase...
Hi Guys,
I did not order a Bronco originally, and missed the 2021 price protection, because I wanted to see and drive the Broncos first. I did find a really good dealer who is only charging invoice pricing, and no ADM. I was told the order banks stopped accepting 2021 orders in August or so...
Thanks - I do think the 2.7L engine issues are still probably statistically insignificant, but we need more data to confirm. If those numbers keep coming in and start to confirm it was just certain build dates, or more importantly that if it does occur, it should occur under early while the...
Thanks Guys - This info helps a lot.
I doubt many people will read this, but maybe Ford does so here is my rant. I am old school and use a term I call "airplane theory" that basically means as complexity increases, so do the chances of something going wrong. Early planes were a lot simpler...
Hi guys,
Does anyone know the track record of which vehicles have had the same model of 2.3L and when they started getting it? -Just trying to make some inferences about sample size above 100k miles, odds that most long term dependability issues have been sorted, etc.
Thanks,
Dan
FYI - Here are some numbers for what the forum users(3900)have ordered - Bronco6g order stats
I have forgotten everything from college, but it seems like in general 400 was the magic number for sample size so I think these are good numbers for what people on this forum want. I did not break...
Thanks - I probably will not mess with the order, but if I lose my price protection for whatever reason, or info leaks that the modular top is likely for 2023 then I might check back in as 2023 gets close and see how/what happens when I change to priority 99. I assume I do lose price protection...
I just placed an order for a new Bronco last month, and thinking there is a good chance I will not receive it until late 2022/2023. The one question I have is if it gets to be August 2022, which I think is likely because of the listed constraints, should I contact my dealer and change my order...
Hey Guys,
I ordered a 2.7L simply because the gas mileage looked to be almost identical to the 2.3L on the 2D BL, so why not spend the extra money. It seems like the 2.3L was 1 mpg better on city, and 1 mpg worse on highway the the 2.7L for the 2D BL. Now that I am reading about the possible...
I am thinking something similar to this., but let me know what you guys think. I wanted to get the modular top, where I can remove the windows and hook into the rear clamshell there, but it might be a while before I can buy the top again. Sounds like most people try to open the rear window and...
Thanks - I had seen that before and forgotten about it. It looks like the BL 2D actually has a 40lb. lower tow rating with the 6 cylinder than the 4, but the 6 cylinder has a 60lbs higher GCWR than the 4. So I guess that is better if I pack more weight in the cab, which I probably would with...
Hey Guys,
With the soft top price increase for 2022, I was thinking of going aftermarket with Bestop. It looks like it is no longer a Ford accessory, but Bestop Trektop(only one they are offering on their web site with FastBack look) is a lot cheaper and they offer one in twill($1700-2D) and...
It
The new 2022 B&P no longer shows this as a price increase. Not sure if it is correct, but it is now a choice. Not sure which one has 5% more engine revolutions, but is one more efficient at highway speeds?
