Who's ready to tap out?

[Coal Powers America]

So tempted to get a sports car at this point to pair with my friends STi

Probably the wrong forum to say this in but I was about to pull the trigger on a Civic Type R on Saturday and walk from the Bronco

then my wife has to be all like “you can’t fit two car seats in the back of a civic”

Can’t and shouldn’t are two different things sweetheart

I went to the jeep dealership plenty of times. My 2 door base squatch is now built according to my for dealer. If it wasn't for that then I'd be going for a 2 door Willys or gladiator with manual transmission. I also toy'd on their build and price site a few times. I basically did this with the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger as well. If my Bronco wasn't built and ready to be shipped out then I'd probably given up and gotten something else. Its up to you. Stay the course if you think you will regret it later. I kept telling myself I've waited this long, might as well wait it out and look, my build day was yesterday. Now we will see how fast it gets to me since that group of bad batchers is still waiting. Bummer. I aint in the clear yet.

after seeing that dust bowl video just now....like the sheriff says in Jaws..."we're gonna need a bigger boat".

I do not confuse disappointment with the current situation with a lack of want for the end result.

I would not be here if I did not absolutely want to be one of the first to own a sixth generation Bronco.

I have over a year invested in this Bronco, a culmination of a lifetime of fandom. Am I disappointed at the long wait? Absolutely. Am I disappointed at Ford's handling of the situation? Positively. Is there something else I would rather buy? Of course. I have owned many cars and trucks. Bronco, however, has always been "My" vehicle of choice.

So I wait.

Its crazy seeing what everyone has been through the last year. Im considerably late to the party just reserved last month. Waiting is really not that big of deal for me since I'm in a 19 Ranger. Whenever it happens ill be good. Plus I'm actually glad I didn't get in this since I want all the bugs worked out before I even order mine.

Like many on this forum, I too, really hope that the majority of you cancel your orders. Don't wait another day, it is not worth it. The frustrations and the lies from Ford are driving you crazy. Don't put up with it. Just imagine how good you are going to feel once you cancel your order. The weight will be lifted from your shoulders. You will be able to go to any other dealership and drive off the lot with your new vehicle. How good that will feel. Do it, just do it...

Chances are I won't be seeing my WT for at least another year.

I don't plan on canceling to keep my options open, bit I'm pissed at Ford because I sold my XJ when I was expecting my Bronco this year, and I've lost $6-12k in investments because I pulled my money, to have it ready (stock market was really shaky at the time).

The only thing that has stopped me from buying a Rubicon is I haven't been able to find one with the features I want and with cloth seats.

For me right now it's not about hype or regret. It's about I've been without a vehicle for well over a year because I sold me Dodge Ram last year to get the Bronco and make the reservation. Never thought it would take this long. I don't even have a build date yet. And people who have build dates are being pushed back. I need a vehicle.

I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with a new 2 door Rubicon in place of a Base Sasquatch. On the brightside for about similar money I'll get sway bar disconnect.

Other things I do like about the Jeeps is the styling ie aggressive hood(rubicon), square fenders, expose door fasteners, fender styling, the military styling and most if all the large range of color options. You can go from mild to wild in the color department. I really like Sting Grey.

For the record I haven't canceled my Bronco order and well see what happens. But I can't wait much longer.

If you need a vehicle now just get a beater that'll last you until the bronco gets here. I also have been looking at used 4x4's online. Looks like some can be had for 4k-6k for a decent one. Thats tempting also. Im sure if you go the regular car route there's some beaters out there that can be had for less.

 

[JimiVegas]

My issue is I already own 3 older open top 4x4s. Which have been lots of fun over the years, but are showing their age. Bronco is supposed to take the place for one of them, used for longer distance travel to off-road sites, camping and fishing trips. Will be a tough call though, if next spring 2022 rolls around, and Bronco is still MIA.

yah its a tough decision. What are the 4x4's you have? Seems like you have quite a collection. The 2022 Nissan Frontier looks tempting. I'm originally a Nissan/Datsun enthusiast and this is the first time I'm changing allegiances. If it weren't for the Bronco, I'd probably get the 2022 Frontier or Tacoma for utility reasons and the gladiator has grown on me. Thank God my wait isn't much longer.

I ordered a 21 Jeep Gladiator Willys with the EcoDiesel today. Got 6% under invoice and should be here in 8-12 weeks. I will cancel my bronco reservation once i get the VIN. My order was late enough where it was looking at this point like Q1 23 at best. Im not waiting almost 2 years for that. I will revisit the bronco in a few years.

 

[Suke996]

At this point not tapping out but definitely moving on and looking for an F350 Tremor. When the First Edition Bronco ever shows up, it will be sold off.
