Apparently the train carrying our Bronco is sitting around still chilling in Portsmouth OH. It got there yesterday at 1:30pm. ETA still 5/1-5/7. Yeah - no all of a sudden I'm impatient. Nice to have 1st world problems I guess.
Yeah that's the thing. I've been wrenching on stuff for 35 years (damn that sounds bad) and the advances in computer controlled shifting and 6 / 10 speed automatics have made a huge difference when it comes to gears and bigger tires.
As someone who owned way too many 22RE powered Toyota trucks...
True. I LOVE the styling on a lot of older vehicles. I DO NOT miss ANY Of the tech. It's the nostalgia of "how things were".
"They don't build them like they used to!"
Thank God. Cork gaskets. Assembly tolerances totally dependent on human beings. Paint jobs that varied on who happened to be...
Buy what you want. Not being flip at all. If you plan on going with bigger wheels / tires and a small lift it can make sense to go with SAS - but I will tell you that the few people I know who are heavy into off roading and own / ordered Broncos the only one who got the Sasquatch is a dunes guy...
I feel you here.
The Bronco we ordered (on a train coming to VA now) is going to be my wife's DD. She doesn't drive much at all - she worked mainly from home BEFORE all this COVID stuff. She likes topless vehicles. Her '17 Mustang ragtop (2500 miles put on it in a YEAR) will be traded in...
Tell your dealer to get you the info. It's literally on their system when they look up incoming vehicles (such as your Bronco). Might need to talk to their New Car sales mgr - guess I'm lucky, even my salesman looks it up and gave it to me.
Pretty sure Ford still calls it a DORA report.
The Norfolk Southern rail car carrying our Bronco (and likely many others coming to the East Coast) left the Trenton MI yard this morning a bit after 11am.
Tracker moved to Awaiting Shipment.
Called my dealer, he gave me a CSX rail car number. Called CSX - it obviously hasn't moved yet, last update on that rail car was February.
Received the "built" email this morning, it also mentioned 5/1-7 for delivery to my dealer.
Order Tracker switched to Awaiting Shipment. I updated the spreadsheet.
