So far seems to be split pretty close to 50/50 for those who want/need in 21 and those who are ok with 22.
Might be good for Ford to offer "voluntary delay of reservation to 22" option to make everyone happy.
Maybe the dealer has that kind of power?
That still works for me.
But going from Zach’s estimate of 45% conversion = 85,000 orders or Ford’s estimate of 75% conversion= 142,500 orders and considering Ford’s production of 140,000/year (?) and their statement that they will build reservation/retail before stock..it would seem likely...
I've noticed in the threads that there are some who absolutely need their Bronco this year to replace an old car, want the bronco this year because they are tired of waiting and some who are fine with it coming whenever it comes.
Wondering what the break out is of each type..
As an "October special" reservation holder who is plenty happy with my current vehicle situation this is great news for me.
1. I get the best deal possible from a straight up dealership.
2. I get to see reviews of the actual vehicle (maybe even drive one?) before laying down money
3. I get to...
If you are sticking to overlanding and light off-roading the Base with more aggressive tires should be fine. How much capability you need is completely up to you and the roads you choose.
I've done lots of off-roading in my 4x2 pickup with a locker in the rear. It is more capable than open diff...
Back in the 80's my cousin jumped his family's 15 pass Ford van on the street. There was a great lip on one of the cross streets.
He kept his foot on the gas when it was airborne.
Upon landing the tires weren't giving anything between the compressed suspension of a 7klb van and sticky warm...
I thought about that.. and know it will sway the accuracy.. which is not very accurate anyway.
But in many of the "I've cancelled" threads they say they will still be hanging around so figured it was worth a shot.
I know it won't be scientifically accurate but thought it would be interesting to see SOME type of statistics on cancellations.
Edit - it will be skewed to "no" as those who cancel may leave the forum as well. But some claim to still be coming back so figured give it a shot.
Wow, 10 pages of replies is a testament to the respect you have on this forum.
Most of us would just get the "this isn't an airport.." meme
Definitely a feather for the cap!
I was pretty confident my Granger October reservation would be MY 22 and was cool knowing I wouldn't get it for probably 18 months. In fact I was hoping MY22 would have hitch and rear locker as stand alone options on Base maybe..
But with all the cancelations.. including ones not announced on...
They say sometimes the things you own end up owning you.
I have found the bigger the payment the more that is the case. It is very easy to start to resent the item you are in slavery for taking out all the enjoyment of ownership.
I learned this early in marriage when I went in over my head to...
Yes, this.
I talked with a guy in a nearby camp spot about his roof tent once and asked how he liked it.
He said he had only had it for a few weeks but was ready to get rid of it. The biggest reason he gave was that you can't go anywhere without putting the tent down. So he couldn't set up...
We've done ground tents in the past and it is a great and flexible option.
We switched to trailer for a few reasons:
- Hard sided are required in some bear areas
- The packing and unpacking before each trip got old and I always forgot something.. like broom, salt, pancake flipper, matches...
Everyone seems to think this, and they are rare and hard to find, but definitely not dead or gone. I still get people coming up to me in parking lots saying "I didn't know you could still get those"
I love my reg cab short bed. I got the 4x2 version as its light and fast but you can get it in...
Also just add that the auto start/stop is the worst. First button I hit in my F150 with 2.7 and A10. Luckily it is as easy as turning the radio on and off.
I was waiting to turn left across 3 lanes of a busy street and it decided to auto stop just before I hit the gas to shoot a gap of oncoming...
As far as 2.7 power opinions I'll add mine.
My truck is the lightest version of F150 possible (~4,300lbs), reg cab 4x2 with 3.73 gears. With Sport mode on it is quite fast and entertaining. Rides like a buckboard with the F150 springs so probably need new kidneys pretty soon.. but very fun to...
Badlands confirms my desire for 33's on a 2-door. Perfect stance for me. Great balance of around town street usability with off-road capability.
4-door proportions seem to look best with 35's.
They both look good!
I still think the wider Squatch flares are a little too wide though
