I would be interested to know if you get steel.

Bash plate is indeed steel.

Same on mine. I think we only hear about the issues/complaints people have on this forum and don't realize how the majority of builds are just fine. People are more likely to post a complaint/issue than a "this came as expected." It breeds anxiety and worry in us while we wait for our Broncos. But on the other hand, it is good to keep yourself informed and know what issues to look for before signing the paperwork.

Well, I only really went in with pricing anxiety and it got a little tense a couple times. They came back out with sticker price and the $2595 discount and I had to get a little huffy... But I had the document from Ford that shows that you can be eligible for both offers original price protection (mine was $2595) and model year increase protection (mine was $3400).

On another note, I wasn't concerned going in about aux switches that Ford decided I didn't need... I think some anxiety is probably unavoidable. Just ask my wife!!

Does anyone know if accessories like a roof rack, keyless entry keypad and brush guard are added to the vehicle after it comes off the assembly line? I don't ever recall seeing a production line photo with those items.
My blend date was yesterday and the modules were populated this morning. Just trying to figure how much more time before it is fully ready to ship.
Thanks.

@malt_liqueur Talked to my salesperson last Wednesday, she seemed optimistic it wouldn't take long to get to the dealership, but haven't heard anything since. I was planning to check back with them tomorrow since it will have been a week.

I figured this is just one more step in the process that the dealer has no control over, so trying my best to be patient. At least when it was on the train we could track where it was!

Havent heard from the dealer yet but my status on the tracker changed to Final Preparation this morning. Maybe this means it arrived this morning at the dealer?

Yes those items get added at the mod shop. Time varies for everyone, but I suspect it's a couple of weeks. Keep in mind that there is a couple of recalls going on that seem to really be slowing up shipment. Mine had no mods and it took 5 weeks to get on the train.

Yes!! Congrats, you're really close. Mine was at the dealer for 4 days in "prep".

Yikes!! So close yet still so far!

@Scoops McGooch Damerow just called and said my Bronco arrived early this morning and will be ready later today.

Wow, nice turnaround!

Wow, nice turnaround!

Yeah I was very surprised he said it would be ready so soon

Interesting. Financing email from Granger yesterday and a shipped email from Ford today for a 4/27 tear tag.

That’s awesome news!

They just told me they use the same transport as Damerow, but mine hasn’t shown up yet.

Can be a number of factors I suppose. I know my salesman told me they got 86 vehicles the day mine came in.
