I'm in exactly the same boat. I think the one in the picture from the pizza joint just doesn't look right and doesn't look like it was designed to fit the car. Still holding out for Mod White Dual myself for all the reasons you mentioned except #1. Plus, I think some problems are going to...
This is correct and exactly why I made that distinction in my earlier post. Ford isn't so much on the hook. But the dealers who chose to play hard and push for the deposits are and they are now dependent on Ford to deliver. I don't see the May email as a line in the sand. But, Ford will have to...
Well, technically Ford does owe on the deposits which isn’t really significant. However, the dealers who took deposits (many of which were positioned as being non-refundable) are now on the hook to start showing some signs of life. I put my money down. Now it’s my dealer’s turn to show me why...
It’s all the seems that bother me on this and it does look like it was kind of slapped on as an afterthought. As someone who ordered a dual top. I think this may be more modular than it needs to be. Honestly, I’d probably be good with a two piece or even a solid top that I could switch out...
My girlfriend 100% wants me to buy a Defender X. My kids 100% want the Bronco. I'm leaning towards the EV Hummer. I've been hoping all along that an optioned up Bronco would be somewhere between a toy and a luxury SUV - something that we could use hard at the beach and in the mountains AND...
I was at the same event with my girlfriend and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. The colors where an instant turnoff for both of us but my girlfriend simply couldn't see past it. In this case, I had to agree with my girlfriend that the colors looked pretty cheesy. I was kind of...
MSRP should be a given. But that alone is not sufficient. It seems quite a few dealers (not most) can find it to their benefit to either misguide you or chew up your order so they can essentially use your reservation to get the vehicle they want to put on the lot and sell well over MSRP. As was...
Price isn’t the only factor for everyone buying the Bronco. For some people, price may be the 2nd or 3rd factor. It certainly does compete with Bronco for off-road capability and top off experience. Also, some folks on this forum seem to have several cars (not including the family car). Then the...
The more I think about it all, the more I think I’d want an plug-in hybrid. Kind of like the Jeep 4xE although I don’t particularly like that vehicle. I rarely drive more that 15 miles in a day and find having to go to the gas station just to run an errand to be a pain. I could seriously go most...
Why don’t they have handles above the passenger right shoulder or at least inside the A Pillar? Those are always the ones I use. I never understood the “oh shit” handle placement towards the front of the cab. Pulling my face towards the dashboard (i.e the hardest surface in the cab) would be the...
Yes. You do. Think about it. How many times have you been to a restaurant that was out of something on the menu or the menu items were different that what they had on their online menu? Happens all the time. I’ve never been told by the waiter, hostess, etc., “Hey, we’ll bump a customer tomorrow...
Maybe it’s the terminology that’s confusing. Wouldn’t it be quite possible that they haven’t “received any allocations for build”? In fact, I’m not even sure what that means. Could that just mean that they haven’t had any of their allocated Bronco’s scheduled for build? Honestly, that wouldn’t...
Damn that’s a beautiful truck. One of the best I’ve seen in that class. I’ve always wondered why more people don’t pursue the F250. I always assumed it was either the height or lack of options. But this one looks baller.
I thought the Defender 110 felt pretty large. Certainly had a commanding driving posture. And I’m coming from a Tundra. The 90 not so much. If the Bronco, has a similar driver stance to the 110 on the four door, I’m probably gonna like that. What scares me are the comparisons to the Wrangler. I...
Perhaps I misspoke. You are absolutely correct in origins of the Range Rover. I was speaking to my experiences coming out of college in the South during the 90’s. The Range Rover at that time was kind of unique and very few were on the road where I lived (Charleston, SC). I pined to own one but...
All good points. I want to expand on the idea of pickup trucks for the white collar folk. In my understanding, the luxury off-road capable vehicle in general was originally made popular by realtors and land developers, who wanted to provide potential clients and investors with a luxury...
Hell yeah. I mean what’s wrong with the materials in this interior? Looks super Lux to me. Leather headliner too? Probably can’t even get that on Rolls.
So many posts on this thread read like an excerpt from the Ted Kaczynski School of Technology. I can get with the whole idea that a Roll Royce interior isn’t suitable for the Bronco. I can even get with the idea that the interior is actually very nice. But I can’t get with the idea that the...
