I drove one at OC Welch Ford in SC. Stricktly a demo according to the salesman. Very smooth shifting. Very impressed overall withe M/T. I have driven sticks since the 70's.
There is a NEWS thread saying no production for 3 weeks including this one. I am a 1/3/22 build and have a vin. I read what came from FORD and see this odd sentance:
If your Bronco is scheduled to be built/produced during the weeks listed below, you can ignore this list as this is only relating...
This is why I like cable emergency brakes. They are not just parting brakes. You can use them to slow down in an emergency like this. I hate electric parking brakes!
I used to plow with a p/u with 4wd and limited slip. Sometimes you still get stuck in the deep stuff and have to shovel it out. Lockers would have come in handy more than once. I think lockeers are something you don't need, until you do (yeah sounds silly). Mud a little too deep? Slid off the...
I used to live in a 2 plate state (NY) and got pulled over and ticketed for no front plate on my stock 2008 Mustang Bullitt. The trooper obviously just wanted to look at the ride based on the questions asked. told me to get the plate put on and they would drop the fine. I still hate him for...
Big change for you. I have been driving full size extra cab pickups since 1997. I am looking forward to the downsizing and better gas mileage. A little concerned about squeaky tailgates though. The short test drive I had (manual 2 door Big Bend) impressed me with power and smoothness on the...
I am still a gas can kind of guy. Run out of gas? A simple siphon and a willing host and your on the road again. Long off road camp trip? Spare gas container strapped out back gives you another 5 or so gallons. Major grid failure due to hackers? Can still fill up at a station with a back up...
Fun to watch all the crazy off road stuff, but I (and most buyers?) will never do anything even close to that. Maybe a rough dirt road or some driving on a snowy road, possibly some sand, but other than that will be a pavement only ride. I will NEVER take the doors off. I will never take the...
About 3 or 4 days after getting the above e-mail (well similar to it as Big Bend) I got the scheduled for production (Jan 2 week) e-mail with my VIN number. So hang in there!
Yes I did. Production scheduled for 1st week of January and they gave me the VIN. Ordered last January and re-ordered as a 2022 1.5 weeks ago. 2 door hard top with 4cyl and 7 speed.
