I used to understand (in the 80s and 90s) that I would almost certainly get better than the highway rating on the highway and less than the city rating in the city. EPA ratings seemed to have been dropping over the past 10-20 years despite pushes for higher fuel economy. Part I think is the...

I know someone said it is just plain black, but the photo of the underside it sure looks like a blue hue. I drove an AMB for two days and thought it was black until late the second day when under certain lighting conditions it was clearly blue. I can easily see how the casual observer will...

That really sucks as so many have said. Glad you are alright. I would think at 15mph there isn't' enough inertia to roll it even if bumping sideways, but if slid off a drop of some sort it certainly could. I am not sure hitting the brakes contributed, they can be a plus or minus depending on...

I think by their process, by using parts to build what they can build so there is never surplus for the builds with more constraints, mathematically there are some builds that will never get built until all other orders are filled. I certainly feel like my Bronco falls into this category. I...

We know that reservations aren't the be all, end all when it comes to priority, but it seems to have some value. Enough value that some dealers are doing things to string along their customers with reservations to later surprise them with a huge ADM and hoping them walk away as they seek even...

This! In a way it is kinda cool to be driving a vehicle that gets an unusual amount of attention, but we shouldn't let it go to our head. These will become ordinary at some point. There are many reasons like the guy wasn't looking. Maybe he just got word his wife wanted a divorce. Maybe...

There is misinterpretation and many if not most aren't knowledgeable enough to know the vulnerability with a reservation/order. I am quite an experienced in dealing with new car dealers, but till now that was always with cars in stock on the lot, not an order. So I was completely unaware or...

Please edit your original post to say they demanded you pay 15K over MSRP. As it reads now it sounds like they offered you MSRP and you were expecting less than MSRP

I imagine this happened something like this: Wife: I am going to bed, did you close the roof on my Bronco today after you used it? I hear it is going to snow tonight. Tyrone: Yes Dear [About 4am Tyrone gets up to use restroom, sees and hears the storm outside, remembers he left the top open]...

In another view from the back looking forward to this same corner there is snow on top of the visor. Snow stuck to the roof like you point out is a strong indication the the roof was folded back and this area was facing upwards for snow to get on it.

I have to agree about the uselessness of the tach the way they implemented it. I don't need a tach, but always liked one with a manual trans so I just knew I wasn't doing anything crazy in the RPM range. The existing may serve that, but while not essential I really would like one. I don't...

The question I think is what is it you want to do that you can with the Bronco that you don't get with the F150? I've recently driven both Bronco and Ranger. The basic road driving quality of a Bronco verses the Ranger (and also F150) is quite dramatic. The Bronco is clearly much louder as...

Sorry Dick, the mods aren't off road related so didn't think very related. They are in the area of communications with equipment filling the interior and mounted to the exterior. I am a bit reluctant to post a photo as it is a well-known vehicle in some circles. I'll PM a couple photos.

I know. One reason I expect the order put in Nov 22 to get built before the original reservation. In a way I can use this second order better since it has an auto trans and both of us can drive it.

I expect they will be a premium. I know they are spoken for already at the dealers I have orders with.

When I placed my reservation in July 2020, I didn't need another vehicle. Our household had four vehicles for two drivers. I had always been a fan of the Bronco II and manual trans so the new bronco with manual trans was the first new car in a long time that intrigued me. It is almost a year...

A late 23 or early 24 just makes me cringe. That is like so far off that who knows what will be getting built then. The current administration is pointing things electric regardless of suitability. Will there be fleet targets for economy requiring ford to focus more on higher MPG vehicles...

I hope it is more than a film application. The tinting would be to the front door windows as the rest I believe (other than windshield) have factory tinting. The Dealer is in Texas where tinting is popular due to intensity of the sun. I had never heard of it either till it was listed on the...

Same situation here, only had my price/order sheet signed by me. The dealer multiple times it be MSRP, but never gave me anything in writing. I finally pressed them a month ago for something in writing after getting my salesperson to once again verbally say it was MSRP. He said new orders...

That sounds like a nice solution. I will say I prefer a basic non electric brake. And since I come from the school of the "parking brake" also being the "emergency brake", how the heck does one control the electronic parking brake in a moving brake situation.
