Greetings everyone! Long time viewer/lurker here, hailing from the Sunshine State (for now). I spent quite a bit of time mulling over whether or not to put an order in for one of these vehicles not long after the order banks opened for the '21 model year. At the time, I was in a job transition in Kansas and unsure of whether or not I wanted to keep rolling with a paid off '14 Dodge Dart GT and try for home ownership in this current market, or get something a bit more snow capable (and possibly camping worthy if I never land a house).
As prices surged (and continue to do so) for homes and used vehicles (had my eyes on 4Runners especially), the numbers were crunched and the Bronco ended up making the most financial sense. With that determination, I made my way to Shawnee Mission Ford in KS in November of 2021 and placed an order for a '22 4 door Big Bend Hard Top. Fast forward about 2.5 weeks later and after reading some of the emerging horror stories of the constraints order holders were encountering, I made the educated call to drop the hard top. I mulled it over a bit more and realized this is likely my 1st and only new car of my lifetime, I decided to up the trim level to Outer Banks, as I fell in love with the signature lighting and the roast interior option. 4 months later, it arrived to my dealer, I signed the dotted line and now get to park and drive USAA's property for the next 6-7 years. I can't thank the forum members who contributed to the reputable dealers thread enough for their knowledge and helping me land my MSRP Bronco!
Taken about 1 week into ownership
