Manual Mannequin Locator

Just went to see this one, I had to literally hop into it. Wow, CO had a really nice sparkle to it. The leather interior felt really good, the CO accents weren't as prominent as in pictures, and the 12" screen looked huge. The 33" tires were perfect, so glad I went with the BL trim as compared to the stock OBX and BB I saw when they came through visiting the area. This dealer will be getting a WT SAS in a few weeks too.

Yeah - I am one happy camper after seeing this one. Still need to see a two door in person, but the CO color, and the Badlands stature have me savoring for a build date. Order choices confirmed!!!

1. At what point does clutch bite on the release back after full stomp.
2. if you stall, and then press clutch, does the engine start or you have to push the button
3. How well does cruise control work. Like does it keep going in 4th gear if you reduce the speed to 30 using the steering button
4. Can you chirp the tires in 2nd gear

1: The clutch felt a little soft / friction point felt almost 'squishy' (compared to my Mustang GT atleast). The point in which it started to bite felt similar to the Mustang, if not slightly further from the floor.
2: The test drive was painfully short. I didn't stall or get a chance to test this. I asked the salesman but he was all but useless for bronco information and didn't know.
3: Same as point 2, unfortunately. He only let us go down two stop lights and pull a u-turn.. I didn't get to test this either.
4: Coming out of the Uey at the stop light I floored it (much to my salesman's dismay ). The turbo wasn't spooled up enough when I was in 1st to chirp any tires, but I'm fairly confident that I shifted into 2nd well enough, but no chirp, no traction lights, etc. This may not be possible without really abusing her.

Let this post serve as a warning for anyone looking to travel a great distance to Capital Ford

The "test drive" they offer here is barely that. You're allowed to leave the lot, turn right on to Capital Blvd. and drive literally 2 stop lights forward (maybe a quarter mile). At that point they ask you to take a u-turn and drive back to the lot. From start to finish was maybe 5 minutes, and that included sitting at 2 red lights.

There was no one else waiting in line for the bronco, so it wasn't a time constraint. They just don't want to be bothered with real test drives it seems. Don't get me wrong, I loved being able to finally drive it! But even the half hour drive to the dealer for me was a bit much for the time they gave me in it.

Edit: He tried to get my business, but when I told him about the deal @DealerInsider is offering, he scoffed and said it was too good to be true . Shout-out to Chapman Ford!

Thanks for keeping my requests in mind

Damn, I got a nice ten-minute drive or so and got to go on the highway back on Monday.

Anybody aware of any 2D dealer units in Colorado? (Manual or AT)

Damn. I guess it was just the particular salesman that took me out, then.

How are people finding this info? Also is there a thread for dealers that have demo units in general? Shame I’m not in CO that unit is real close to my build.

Added a BD in Renton, WA.

I did the autotrader thing mentioned on the first page. They don't all list transmission though.

 

[JTBros]

Biener Ford has 2 listed on Autotrader that a salesman said are for “dealer stock”. One is a CO Manual Badlands and the other is a Rapid Red Wildtrak. He hypothesized that they’re coming in August/September. Not sure if they’ll be allowing test drives but will keep an eye on their website/social for once they arrive.

Granger Ford in Iowa is getting a 4dr BB Manual "middle to end of July."

Might bring a $50 or so to bribe the salesman for an...”extended” drive when I go on Friday. I’m not gonna be satisfied with a 2 stoplight test drive considering I’m driving 2 hours each way to check this Bronco out
