I don’t have any experience with Jeeps of the last 40 years but I have owned a 79 full size Bronco, a 53 Willys CJ3A with Chevy 283 4spd granny Warn OD, heavily modified 68 Bronco and now a 2022 Wildtrak and they all drive differently for a variety of reasons. All these were bought to take off...
Total agreement! Over the years I’ve owned a a 1979 Bronco, 53 Willys flat fender with small block Chevy and a soft top, a couple of Porsche GT3’s and a 68 Bronco. I drove the 53 Jeep from Nor Cal down to Riverside to pick up a surplus keep trailer and back again. It was also my daily driver...
That's where ours was shipped and it took 6 days for it to get to our dealer and they're only 50 miles from Richmond, CA. The delay is caused by available car haulers to get all the vehicles to the various dealers.
Just got our Wildtrak home and agreed that the tread pattern of the Sasquatch Goodyears are gravel magnets. So far the only damage is 3 small dings in the driver’s side rear fender extension and that was from parking in a gravel lot at the vets. I’m going to fit some mud flaps on the Bronco to...
I did but the rail info stopped updating when our Bronco got to the Indiana Harbor Belt Blue Island (Riverdale) switching yard. After that the rail car info must of changed because the ID I had said the car was empty and in Texas. My dealer sales rep contacted me when it arrived at the Richmond...
I’m glad to report that it’s here at the dealer in Dixon, CA. So happy with it, velocity blue looks great in the sun and the HOSS 3.0. Happily it’s much quieter than what I thought with MIC hardtop. Rides great and those 2.5” FOX bypass shocks are impressive
I contacted our dealer on Oct. 5 and he checked on our Wildtrak and it had also arrived at the Richmond rail yard. Still waiting for it to arrive at the dealer.
Print the page on the Ford web site with FAQ’s that explains what price protection is, what qualifies and how they the dealer prints out the certificate. It’s irritating when they play dumb
Got the Ford email this morning that our Wildtrak is shipping with a delivery date between September 28th and October 4th. That’ll put it at 2 years from placing our reservation. Good news is we got the Hoss 3.0. Our blend date was 9/9
The more armor/skidplates the better and really good rock rails, preferably mounted to the frame. Most of the extreme challenges have bypasses but they're also very difficult. As I mentioned pick your line carefully. Best time to go is just after the CA4WDC Sierra Trek because PG&E restricts the...
The trail changes every year and has become more challenging year after year due to the number of vehicles going over it. Haven't heard of any new Broncos challenging the Fordyce trail yet. Went over that last week with my son and grand daughter and that's extreme! Suspension droop is definitely...
Got an email from Ford yesterday and our Velocity Blue Wildtrak, SAS, LUX, MIC Hardtop, HOSS 3.0, Tow Package order placed March 17,2021 is scheduled for production the week of September 5th, but Ford says that can be effected by parts availability, no kidding. Lets see I have at least 3 of the...
It'll be interesting to see if Ford takes the number of Raptors they think (hope) they can build and then allocate those among their (select) dealers or if Ford will reach out to those order holders based on time stamps. Reservation holders especially those with multiple reservations shouldn't...
Very nice looking build and almost identical to our Wildtrak on order, velocity blue, leather, LUX, MIC and Tow. Thanks for the B&O info. Do you know what part of the leather seats are leather? What color is the top of the dash and does it reflect much light? Again congrats on your Bonco!
