This scares the bejeezus out of me. That sticker was for a customer order. Did they confirm that it was refused by the original customer? I would lose my everloving mind if I found out that someone sold my truck to someone else. This actually happened to my dad with an F150. He watched it roll off the lot as he was arriving to pickup.
Owner came over to me while I was doing the paperwork and told me he ordered it day 1 for his daughter, but once it arrived, she thought it was too big. So, I got it. I didn't even know about the different window sticker colors. Learned that after the fact. And in my dealers defense, I had looked at a white one on their lot the previous week, and they informed me it was a sold order. So, I do not believe I deprived someone of their ride.

Yeah, no..when I'm spending 69k $CAD (since everyone is wondering) on a new vehicle- I don't ask to make sure it's mine once I sign the paperwork.
I understand, I forget sometimes that some new members have not been as immersed in the controversies as the rest of us. :)

Awesome Bronco, congrats! I think there are quite a few people out there that got tired of waiting and abandoned their order. I’d be willing to bet that happened here.

It's brand new, I wasn't unaware it had a lift installed, I can double check. Does sit pretty nice. Wife already asking for sidesteps lol oops
Congratultions, and enjoy the ride. I know you are unaware of what Ford is doing to many of it's reseravtions holders, so I'll say it's quite sad. So, if some sound a bit salty please understand many of us have just about had it with Ford, and the way they have been doing business with us. I hope your Bronco gives you many smiles to the mile.

Just convert kilometers into more easily digested numbers. Examples, 1km = 650 llamas, 234 beluga whales, 1125 Sasquatch tires, etc.
Funny, I didn’t even notice that kilometres would be a strange thing to see. I’m so used to working in both metric and Imperial units that it’s not strange to see either miles or kilometres.

I do prefer using hockey sticks as the standard Canadian measure of distance, though.

First off, I'd like to thank all the members on this forum for the great resources and community I've seen so far.

Just got my first Ford/ my 2021 Bronco Badlands 4-door on a complete whim. I had a pretty done up 2017 Silverado 1500, lifted, big boots, custom headlights with halos, aux lights, custom emblems I made, everything...as well as a 2019 Cadillac CTS. Both mint with extremely low mileage.

Ford gave me some unreal prices on my trade in. I wasn't really feeling the need to trade on anything really- new GMs, Ford's, etc, just not a fan of what's out there. But then this 21 Bronco Badlands in Area 51 just came off the truck and I was like woah...

Went in, test drove it first, as well as a Sport. The salesman told me it wouldn't last the end of the day. I thought he was of course trying to make the sale, talking it up a bit. I didn't know Broncos were hard to get, people wait on orders, hardtops are hard to get, etc.

This vehicle beats my old truck in practicality, coolness, comfort and tech, and I haven't done anything to it yet. I feel for all of you who actually did your research, waited, anticipated, etc. I test drove and signed within a week of taking it home and it was such a long wait. So worth it though. Hope to make posts with some of my mods and learn from others as well.

Unfortunate for your dad but I'd say that's a rarity- most of the time it's a customer backed out of an order. I don't know the circumstance of mine, but what evidence do you have that Ford sold me someone else's Bronco out from under them?
I think they were referring to mine. I posted a green WS which means customer order apparently

Me? O
You have to have tough skin on this forum. There are a lot of good people here, but a small demented % that will poke you for the fun of it.
Me? Or the ones who are mad and putting puke emojis on my post? Lol. This is a good intro I guess- I expect it to be alot worst after some of my mods 😂

No hard feelings toward you as new Bronco owner. Welcome to the fold. :) Enjoy the ride!

This is what is wrong with Ford corporate and overall rollout however. There are buyers out here that reserved a Bronco over 500 days ago and are still waiting. Same build as you. We are at the mercy of Ford and dealer allocation, when we could walk in off the street with no reservation, and have today. Ford has not put priority on the most ardent buyers who were interested enough to reserve early. Happy for you to purchase so easily but this Bronco should have gone to early reservation holder. Never saw a company care less about customers. @Ford Motor Company

Congrats,glad your dealer was fair on the sticker price it seems that in Canada we don't have the allocation bull crap going on,if the parts are there for building it gets done.

But seriously, welcome and congrats! Looking forward to seeing some of your mods!
FWIW, the hate you're receiving isn't your fault but your dealerships fault. Just take it as initiation rites. Take some shit, give some shit, boom, your in the club!

You really have to take most of the stuff here with a grain of salt. Participating in this forum is a lot like using sandpaper to scratch and itch. It feels really good until you have done it for too long. But if you get past the sass, this place is full of great information and great people. I’m seriously grateful for all of the information I’ve gathered here.

There was no discounts on Bronco. I got a bit of Ford money and they gave me nice value esp for my Cadillac, it only had 7600km. I paid what was on the window sticker, which I thought was reasonable for all I'm getting in a vehicle.
