  1. Topless Doorless Experience Comparison Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler (by owner of both)

    I have zero experience in removable top vehicles, but will something like the GearShade top (https://www.gearshade.com/products/bronco-gearshade-tops/) actually keep out water? Or do you mean a top more substantial than that mesh?
  2. ⏱ Bronco Scheduling Next Week (3/21) For Build Weeks 5/9 Through 5/23

    It would have been nice to get the MIC, but I wasn't playing any additional games. I picked this dealer specifically because I was going to be very high up on their list because they didn't have a lot of Bronco orders, and they had a good number of allocations. That imbalance was what I meant...
  3. ⏱ Bronco Scheduling Next Week (3/21) For Build Weeks 5/9 Through 5/23

    I'm sure this is exactly how it works, but if I could provide something for the TLDR crowd: The first thing that matters is how many vehicles your dealer moves, then how many orders your dealer has in front of you that are buildable given what we all have heard about constraints. My example...
  4. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    That sucks. I really want Ford to succeed here (even though I question whether they can, I'm still rooting for them). I love what they are trying to do. I just wish that they could get out of their own way. And that most of their dealers would stop holding them back.
  5. Build Week Tracking Spreadsheets 📊

    I found the main 5/23 thread. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/5-23-build-week.39400/ Can we please get a tracker. Thank you.
  6. 5/23 Build Week

    I just found out Friday I'm also in this build week. Assigned VIN and everything.
  7. 5/23/22 Build Week Group

    On Friday I got an email from my dealer letting me know I was scheduled for the week of 5/23. I haven't seen a thread here yet, anyone else get this build week? Nevermind, I'm not good at searching. Here it is: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/5-23-build-week.39400
  8. How Frequent Are You Spotting In The Wild

    I've recently started seeing a bunch more over the last week or two here in the Atlanta area. I think most days I'll see one. There are a couple that I see regularly. However last week, just on the way taking my kids to swim team, I saw 3 in like 15 minutes. Definitely getting more common. That...
  9. Build Week Tracking Spreadsheets 📊

    On Friday my dealer emailed me that I was scheduled for 5/23. It feels like I just squeaked into this build cycle. I didn't see a thread for the 5/23 week. Any chance this is just another BS dealer line, or do you think it is legit?
  10. Found out We’re Having Twins! - How is the 4 Door for 2 Infant Seats?

    We don't have twins, but we had 2 rear facing car seats for a while, so I know the frustration. That said, you can always figure it out. When our boys were that young, my wife had a BMW 3 series wagon and my car was an 88 BMW 3 series 2 door. Not big cars. It's all possible with some...
  11. Placing a new local order in Atlanta

    In case anyone was still interested, I ended up placing my order on 24 January with Five Star Ford in Stone Mountain. I just got notified today that I have a build date of 5/23. Still no word at all on my other order with SAC.
  12. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    Indeed. I don't mean to imply that they care about our fate, but in taking a long term view, they care about how the company is run and how well it can execute its core business. And the Bronco rollout failures inform that view. If the F-150 Lightning has the same fiasco, then I think you will...
  13. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    I'm right there with you, except for saying that this will be the last Ford I ever purchase. I'm still not even clear if I'm going to ever get this one, and I could see myself picking up a used Ranger in a few years for some light truck duty. What has me most concerned is the epic levels of...
  14. Anyone considering other vehicles at this point?

    I'm interested in the assumptions and logic behind those that are jumping from the Bronco to.....the Ranger? Why would you stay with Ford? Why do you think they will be better at building Rangers than they are Broncos? Personally, I may get a '23 4Runner if I don't have a build by the summer or...
  15. Magneto-not The Kevin Bacon

    I'm not an automotive engineer, but I think the answer is no, and that starting in first would only make things worse from a slippage perspective. Electric motors (generally) develop almost all of their max torque from 0 RPMs. Not quite the exact opposite of a ICE motor, but very different. In...
  16. Magneto-not The Kevin Bacon

    The power numbers on that are really low compared to most electric vehicles. Everything about that sounds like the worst of both worlds. I get liking to shift on your own (both of my daily drivers are sticks)...but in an electric car its just more work for no good reason. The engine won't...
  17. 📬 Raptor lottery winning email! Did you get order invite??

    Thank you, I really appreciate that. Of course that makes complete sense seeing what we have about how this all plays out. I think that if I was a less naive new car buyer and had a deeper understanding of how the dealership system works, I wouldn't have repeatedly worked against myself by...
  18. 📬 Raptor lottery winning email! Did you get order invite??

    This is interesting to me. My July 20th reservation (still not scheduled or anything) wasn't selected for a Raptor. I wonder what they used to determine who gets a Raptor.
  19. Bronco Raptor Spotted for the First Time in Cactus Gray!

    There is no pleasing some people. You don't see the fenders when you are driving it. Certainly not the rear ones. If I can get my hands on one I'll drive the absolute piss out of it!
