The damage sounds minor, if the fix was quality then I see no reason to pass on it. They did their job and got it fixed right away. They were probably waiting to have the hood fixed before notifying you it was ready for pickup.
I really like the stock HD bumper with the RC hidden winch. The options for us 2.7 Lux Broncos appear to be:
1. ACC sensor relocation and get a bumper that probably blocks the front camera
2. Transmission oil cooler relocation, then use RC's hidden winch without any obstruction/modification of...
I reached out to my dealer after seeing the recent ADM dumpster fire thread asking if I could get a signed buyer or purchase agreement...or anything with a signature. This was my salesman's response:
"There is nothing to worry about we will have no mark ups on the Broncos. We can't do a buyer...
Thats really disappointing that it doesn't have low speed or stop and go. Even the cheap economy Hyundai Kona rental I had has stop and go ACC. That was one of the main reasons I switched to the Lux because I thought it had that. I have a VIN now so I can't switch back to high.
I really hope...
Air coming in through the roof panel joints is concerning... I'm glad I switched to soft top. When I do use a car wash I only do self-service or automatic touchless, but it's not a perfect solution. Some grime just can't be removed without physical agitation. I use the 2-bucket method (and a 3rd...
I think these are the trucks that will be hosted in Ford's booth. They always like to have a mix of tame and radical stuff. There will be dozens more broncos for other venders.
It's too bad with the 360 cameras it would have been a great opportunity for Ford to do a built in 24/7 monitoring system like Tesla has. Looping recording while driving, and motion or movement activated short clips when parked. I would have paid extra for that feature.
Use the order number from your build preview that you got from the dealership (mine is 4 digits), not the 8 digit one on ford's Reservation & Orders page.
Dealers adding surprise ADMs is a very anti-consumer practice, and Ford is complicit by allowing this. That dealer kept sherminator in the dark with the intention of taking advantage of his emotions and wallet. IMO reservation orders should be blocked from adding any ADM at all.

I spoke with a car transport driver when having one of my cars shipped. She said damage like that is 99% of the time from low tree branches hanging over the roads. It's partly on the driver to avoid stuff like that, but it's also on the local governments to maintain the treelines.
I cant remember who but someone at Super Celebrstion west mentioned the tie rods being weak. I guess carry spares since the are small when going on tough trails. Or bring some welding rods, jumper cables, and borrow a 2nd battery to do a quick fix to get off the trail.
Same build week for me too! I wonder how long it will be until it's ready for pickup in Mesa AZ. Would be cool if it's close enough to do Christmas with the parents and pick up the bronco at the same time.
I can't log into the Ford site to check my status, the SSO page just hangs forever. Anyone else having this issue? I wonder if they are having bigger server issues.
