I got a Ford-email that I'm pushed out a week. Again....3rd resched.

While I like a tailgate on my truck and old 4runner, I'm not convinced the little fold down tables will be used as much as just putting my beer on the actual rear floor of the Bronco. Some organizing tasks will be done in the rear too, maybe spreading a sandwich or such. For a quick moment...

Since we're rationalizing, I will too. The reason I decided to reserve a bronco was 1) it's looks and fairly high off road potential. 2) It had a manual transmission. Other people chose one for power, lux interiors, leather seats, heated steering wheel, ease of lifting and modifying it, going...

Great post, thanks for telling the story. I'm also going to use the bronco for my dog adventures. I have running dogs, saluki, and haven't been going as far as I used to since my kids were young. Now they're out of the house, and a new generation of Saluki are ready for adventures, camping...

My daughter just bought a 2010 Rav4 Limited with the 269 horsepower V6, normally aspirated engine. These and known to be "sleeper" speedsters that will blow away a lot of sports sedans, will do 0-60 in 6.3 seconds. We both tested acceleration when buying it, and I wasn't that impressed. It's...

I think the people that say they know how to drive a manual are fooling themselves. If "the 2.3L auto was much peppier and fun to drive" I feel sorry for your idea of what "fun" is. And if a 10 second 0-60 in a Subaru with 148 HP feels like a 7.5 second 300 HP Bronco, you might want to...

That's what my letter from Ford said. "The price you'll pay for THE SAME TRIM AND MODEL will be the same..." or such. Not going to go look for the actual quote. I'm sure after 15 pages (that I am not about to read) someone mentioned that. Ford is doing exactly what they said. And even for...

Then there are these https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/tire-stickers-tacky.22022/ Has anyone made a sticker yet for the center of the steering wheel?

All it takes is one more commodity constraint (no rubber! or copper wires!), or serious problem (transmissions leaking!) that needs corrective action, and all those scheduled builds are just dates and numbers on a chart. And practically NO ONE would get a Bronco this year. Don't count your...

Yep. And this boomer served his country, got 3 college degrees with zero government loans, raised a successful family, has had a fantastic career, will retire well. Oh...and am paying cash for my Bronco. Wonder what the later generations are doing? Oh yeah - whining and being offended by...

I'm not sure I'd make that assumption. Delays have been rampant and continual with the Bronco. Almost nothing they planed for, then communicated, has actually been meet in scheduling again and again. Why would now getting another notice that you've had your date changed (even if moved up, or...

Play extreme games, and the risk of breaking or rolling your Bronco goes up. For how I drive, 1 in 1,000,000,000 chance. For people basically TRYING to see if they can fail/break something, more like 1 in 5 chance.

Wow, you gave more actual info in 1 short video than months of conjecture and disinformation and guesswork on this forum! Good job.

What's pathetic is the impatience of a generation conditioned on instantaneous tracking on the internet. 20 years ago you would have ordered a Ford, then waited an indeterminate amount of time until it was ready. The dealer would call you when the truck delivered it to them, 2-4-6- or 9 months...

Yep, got an update email for a new date. Glad to see it, didn't like having to call my dealer to know anything.

Well, Google says:

I'm reading the manuals have a "failsafe" system that keeps the brake on while you are taking off from a hill. Hill Start Assist will help too. Let her learn by taking off in either the crawler, or 4Low. After 1st gear, it's just about knowing when to shift and remembering the order to do...

Well my dealer replied, I'm pushed out to Oct 25. So people know - you will NOT get an email or any other notice if you are delayed anymore....you have to ask.

Great post by the way about the trip. I wanted to address the 2.3 power comments. I see a couple others have already. Turbochargers were invented to give more power, and at elevations they give more power too. But they do have to be spinning enough to generate boost. Remember, the early...

Most car restorers have used either liquid adhesive or tape adhesive for years and years. They are made to stick on forever, it's what the factory uses, or did when they had metal instead of stickers on the fenders. Just do some searching, there are hundreds of videos and car forum posts about...
