That happened to my ‘23 BADLANDS. 12 weeks after “scheduled “ production date, no word from FoMoCo. My sales guy helped me learn that my BL was stashed in a lot in Dearborn. I called the “customer” service line with order # and VIN. virtually useless. Told me it would not be released until it...

Driving style, and the roads. My ‘23 BRONCO BL likes freeways and 65-70 mph, with cruise control. Then I see similar mpg. Around town it is around 19 ish. My 2010 4 Runner was around 19ish, but not as good as the Bronco. Was around 20-21 mpg on the highway. 4Runner cruise control was not as...

Really nice summary, and appreciate the “materials and source” list. WC0R

I considered a ‘23 4R to replace my ‘10 4R which had just passed 220K miles. Never before paid over MSRP for ANY car. Dealer Sales MGR gave me quote for $10K OVER MSRP, and another $2500 for dealer installed options that I did not want, were not required but sales MGR said they put on all cars...

Doubt I have had soft top (ST) the longest. Picked up my ‘23 BADLANDS in July. Had to delete hart top to get my Bronco scheduled in’23 or risk having my order cancelled. So, through 3 seasons I can say my ST has been better than expected, although my expectations were pretty low. Not as noisy...

Hang in there…FoMoCo is building around 10K per month, and there are about 3500 in the Unscheduled order bank. With the soft top there should be nothing holding up your OBX for too much longer, I would think. Try calling FoMoCo customer support with your order number and dealer code.

Awesome! I have VERY rural property about an hour and a half west of the Springs. Arrived yesterday to find up to 18” of soft, slippery snow on our gnarly, 220 yard, unpaved, steep uphill driveway. My Ranger UTV got stuck trying to plow it! Our BADLANDS, non-sas in 4L with front and rear...

Thanks for sharing that... WE had a huge dump in CO as well: 30" inches in the southern park county area. There wer e plow trucks stuck!

I financed for a few months in August of '23 at 5 1/2%. Paid it off after about 3 months.

Excellent! Thanks foro posting this!!!

I can only speak to my experience. I had to down-scope from WT, MIC HT, LUX to BADLANDS, HI, soft top early in ‘23 or, according to Ford, risk having my WT order cancelled. So I down-scoped. Within a few days I got a VIN and production date of 23 March. It only takes a day to assemble and...

I wave. Sometimes folks wave back, sometimes not. I find that the more rural areas, the more you are likely to get a wave back-even from Jeeps and 4Runners…

I had an ICOM 7000 mounted in my 4Runner. The radio itself was mounted on a Molle panel on the right side of the footwell. This kept cable runs short (power through the firewall—there should be room to fish the cables through). I had a mount that attached to the edge of the hood near the cab on...

A lot will depend on the optional equipment. If you check the “production constraints” that appears periodically in this 6G forum, you can get an idea. For each trim level it illustrates the current number of vehicles in the “unscheduled order bank (USOB), and the current factory capacity. You...

Ouch!! Hope you are OK!!!

An app called OnX off-road has maps for the entire US. You can click on the trails and will usually see a difficulty rating, and a description of the trail, often including photos. We have used it to plan off-road side trips when traveling in our (now-given-to-our-son) 4 Runner Trail, and a...

I drove 4Runners for 20 years with the clunky 5speed and normally aspirated engine. We are always above 5K feet elevation, and often above 10K for skiing and off roading. The BRONCO is indeed a “rocket” compared to the 4Runner in this environment, and a pleasure to drive: acceleration, power...

Congrats!!! BADLANDS + SAS + HardtopShe’s a beauty!!

Maybe better now, but my 23 BADLANDS, non SAS, High, 2.7L sat on a lot in Dearborn for 12 weeks after being built. (Built 23 Mar, delivered 19 July).

That’s a very useful list! Especially the key fob piece. Thanks!
