Agreed.
Sure performance enthusiasts (or must have the highest trim'ers) will flock to the Raptor, but Bronco enthusiasts they will always have a knack for the First Edition. I think a huge part of uniqueness about the First Edition will be the culture and the numerous controversies behind it...
I believe we may be the first in AZ! Found ours at the El Mirage railyard on Wednesday. Just waiting for it to show up at the dealer, they hot tagged it so it will be prioritized for delivery to the dealer.
Just found out that Sanderson Ford has a $499 doc fee and they are unable to use any...
That's all we could get with the limited opportunity to stick our phones. Not sure when we will take delivery. Going to bug the dealer tomorrow.
I'm so mad Grabber Blue isn't a color! It looks great in the renders on it!
No, lol. It was outside the yard on public property right next to the road. Spotted the rail car number as we drove by looking for it. If it was inside the facility, we wouldn't trespass.

You'll feel a noticeable difference between staying...
It's been that way for a long time.
Single press = TCS off and Advance Trac still on/in sport mode
Press and hold for 5+ seconds = TCS and Advance Trac off/All nannies off
Ours should be here this week and we are planning to go wheeling Saturday. Will report back if we have any similar issues.
The beauty of electronics, if we are lucky Ford will release an OTA to address this if it happens (goes viral) enough. I think the primary reason this happened was being in the wrong mode. Too much wheel spin by being in the wrong mode for rock crawling freaked out the computer.
So the reason for opening/closing the door is due to telling the vehicle to "shut down" faster since you would be technically leaving it. However, that's not the only method to doing a full shut down. The alternative method is waiting the 15-30 seconds until all the lights and electronics turn off.
Like stated above, immediate action whenever something like this happens is a full restart. Turn it off, open/close the door (or wait 15-30 seconds for the electronics to turn off) and turn it back on. Waiting for the full shut down is critical. The video shows him doing a hot restart which...
