New Kid on the Block

[J-Lugster]

Hi Everyone,

I’m not new to Ford but it’s been quite awhile since I owned one. My last Ford was a 2010 Harley Davidson F-150.

I am currently coming out of a 2016 Ram 1500 Sport Crew that was my baby. It’s being traded in for a factory ordered 2024 Ford Bronco Wildtrak.

I was originally looking at the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X but a friend told me the Bronco a look. I loved the looks of the Bronco when I’d seen them around but had written off owning one because I refuse to pay MSRP or above and figured the Bronco’s were going to be too expensive. After test driving one I fell in love with it and luckily for me the dealers in Ontario are back to negotiating and Ford Canada is currently offering the A-Plan to its customers.

Glad to be here and learn from you all. I'm an older guy and as such a bit of a techtard.

Thank you for being a part of the Ford family.

A truck to a Bronco - hope it meets your needs.

Good luck with the Bronco, be sure to use it for fun.
Don't forget to join local clubs using the club icon near the top of this site.
You can find some cool people to go ride with.

Welcome eh.

I've got it!

I was able to get mine early because another dealer had one coming in with the same build options as mine.

My dealer was able to acquire it from them while it was being built at the Michigan Assembly Plant.

Just got PPF done on the leading edge of the hood, front tips of the front fenders, Rockers, bottom of the doors & the windshield surround. I also had the front door windows tinted.

I am keeping the mods pretty tame and economical so far.

I just installed the Rally Armor mud flaps. I wasn't keen in getting mud flaps but it's a real necessity with the Bronco to prevent stone flinging up the sides of the body. I liked the style of the IAG & Mabett mud flaps but in the end decided on the RA's.

For the rears the 2023 and newer Ford discontinued the two bolts mounting the bumper to the frame (now only using one bolt). Rally Armor's instructions used those two bolts for mounting the rear bracket but specified in the instructions that for 2023 and newer the one bolt would be sufficient because the bolt is oversized.

Member Mjasi3 suggested adding another hex bolt to the mud flap where it meets the back of the plastic bumper on the Wildtrak. I took his advice and my setup is quite robust now.

Thanks Mjasi3.

Got the cargo liner & setback cover. These are the LEPZ brand. Great fit and finish.

I opted for the Tuxmats available through Costco (called Phantom but identical). They are a great fit and extensive amount of coverage.

I customized the rear mats with a black bucking horse Bronco logo for a muted similar look to the OEM mats.

I also got the Suparee door sill protectors from Amazon. They are great quality. I added extra 3M double sided tape to mine because some of the reviews mentioned what came with it didn't hold on too well.
