Order placed '26 2dr Badlands

[GoHack]

Email received that it should be available by 1.16.2026

Wound up ordering locally even though Granger would have been less expensive. With my work schedule, it's a challenge to get things done that require travel. Four on/four off nights and 12 to 13 hours most nights...I lose a lot of the first day off sleeping.

2dr with 3 pedals in Velocity Blue
Color-matching top
Leather-trim seats
Lux package
Block heater
Trailer tow pkg
Front stabilizer bar disconnect
Modular bumper
Brush guard
Tube doors
Front row soft-top

They had a dealer order that was set to go this week that they indicate mine will jump. Im hoping the email is corroboration of their claim.

I liked my limited experience with Granger, but the schedule issue made travel on short notice a challenge plus there is something to be said for buying local in a town of fewer than 10K people. They came down to a number close enough to Granger when airfar and hotel were factored in to make it make sense. If I had more time, I would have ordered through Granger...

Ford is offering the Manual Emergency Brake for the 2026 model year vs. the Electric. I don't know if it's an option or standard.
Will yours be coming w/it?

Not sure...I much prefer a manual e-brake though...doesn't light up the back when you think you're on radar. Downshifting shaves some speed but not always fast enough...allegedly...so umm...a friend told me.

Had electric on the F-Type but everything else is old-fashioned pull-the-lever or push-a-pedal.

Calling BS on this. Can you cite that? I highly doubt Ford is going to re-architect the interior to accommodate a cable driven PARKING brake on certain models at this point.

Here you go about the Manual Hand Emergency Brake for all manual transmission models.





Whether it actually happens I don't know. We'll see.

I just bought a 2025 Badlands this past summer w/the manual transmission.

Those two sites used the same script but ALSO used photos of something other than a Bronco. Accordingly, I would question it...still would welcome it, but neither of those videos install a lot of faith, especially since other areas of discussion seem to have been dispelled.

I've got the budget base version of your order. In my opinion VB is one of the best looking blues out there. Hopefully you get it quicker than mine - which took something like 1.5 years!

One of the best beaches in the Ancient City and the only one that has a westward shoreline that you can drive on for the perfect sunset.

Look, all I mentioned here is what I read, from more than once source.
Whether it's true or not is not up to me.

Personally, I would prefer the Manual Hand Emergency Brake myself. I don't like the electric brake.
The more bells and whistles, the more problems you are sure to have later on.

Window sticker finally populated this evening. Blend date is next Wednesday, just a touch over two months from the order date.

Body Control modules just populated within the past few hours...a whole shitpot-slew of them! No PCM modules yet, but since blend date isn't until tomorrow, I guess that makes sense...

Awesome! I loved the experience of ordering my 2025 Badlands last year and going through that process. I think that ordering our Broncos to get exactly what we want is the only way to go. I know that I would have had a tough time finding what I wanted if I was just looking on dealers lot inventory

Pizza tracker has been updated with the BUILT status and yesterday's date...

I am mildly curious whether the body-color hardtop are available on the line or if they are painting and placing those in Body post-production...
