Pulling for ya! Hope yours gets loaded on a truck and headed your way soon. Check it over really well and note anything amiss. My dealer, that lives in a state that runs front license plates, drilled the lower grille surround piece that was PAINTED! Oh and I told them to leave it off because my state only runs rear plates. Needless to say, I got a new panel. They ship me the panel, I have a friend who paints high end cars spray it, and I install it. Kind of a pain, but it is what it is. And make sure you are briefed on your Fordpass and your points for buying a Bronco (42000 pts) about $20. EDIT $200. I'm a dork!

And make sure you post a pic when you get it!!

One other thing to check for hard top equipped Bronco's.



Check for Storage Bag – Front Row Top Panels (for On-Vehicle Storage). These are included. They might be in the hatch area before you panic.

100% agree..... double checked for mine before leaving the lot.

Curious on everyone's last step of the Ford tracker regarding the dealer prep, subtract the repetitive requests not to drill thru the bumper. I have heard that some dealers forgot to remove the Bronco from transport mode (throttle response is non-existent). Any other items we should be double checking besides the OCD list referenced elsewhere on this forum?

Id suggest if you have a cash payment available which I do not lol..... or do what I did, walk in with a credit union approval so that the ball is in your court.

Not saying this happens, but a dealership that is still able to sell with a markup may prefer you to leave without the vehicle so they can sell it for more. Higher interest rate, lower trade value, demand for a higher down payment, etc.

That's a good point Teamslo. I've been preparing in my mind for weeks, but keeping my head focused on last minute surprises is the name of the game. You almost can't smile until it's in your driveway.

Thats exactly how I felt. I have an off road group and didn't mention it to anyone until I was home with her.

Picked mine up today. Dealer honored private offer and also worked with me on price a bit. Rock ding on the driver's door on the 25 mile drive home though....

Mud flap install commencing this weekend.
