Welcome! I too am in Maryland and ordered from Century Ford of Mt. Airy west of you in Frederick County. I ordered on 22 DEC 2021. Other than receiving the email from Ford MoCo stating they had received my order from the dealership, there has been no other news or messages. Best thing I can tell...
Thanks for sharing your experience and the videos are great. I have to say that I wasn't surprised to see the vast discrepancies observed on the paint thickness gauge in that second video. Sadly, 1-1.5 mil paint thickness won't stand up over time. (My wife owns a Ford Explorer and within a month...
Never heard of 'Phalcon'. If you're thinking about buying a fridge/freezer for you rig, recommending doing your homework (i.e., "buy once, cry once"). Check out Overland Journal's 2021 "Best Overland Fridge Freezers Review" posted on the Expedition Overland's portal at...
Order submitted thru Dealership (21 DEC 2021). Confirmed via email by Ford MoCo (22 DEC 2021). [FYI: Your order submission form requests my "Order Number". My dealer-provided Order Summary lists a one-letter-three-digit "Order Code" but there's no Order Number.]

Hey there Garrett County. Nothing wrong with a good hotel and a great meal at the end of a long drive. Like you, I think we've target locked on our own small dealership (Century Ford) nearby in Mt. Airy. My wife had a good experience there when she bought herself a Ford Explorer just coming off...
John, thanks for the "heads up". I have been getting an appreciation for the minefield that is ordering and (then) taking delivery of the Bronco and have read quite a few "tales of woe" regarding dealership interactions. Knowledge is power, as they say. Forums like this are a great help.
New to the forum and looking forward to learning from other's experiences and sharing info going forward. Getting ready to place an order for a Badlands (w/out SAS) with the objective of building a long-range overland truck for travels thru the American West/Northwest, Canada/Alaska and then...
