Who's ready to tap out?

I just looked at a 2019 Trail Boss with only 24k miles. Anyone have any experience with them? They caught my eye earlier in the year. I feel dirty just saying that. Ford homer all my life but feel like they have let me down. Breaking the Ford camp would be a HUGE move for me.

OK I finally decided I'm done after this last email. I'll just build up my zuk for a wheeler and I'm going to look for an older super duty or OBS.

I'm going to regret it every time I see one on the road, but life has gone to hell the last few weeks and it's a poor use of money for me right now.

Maybe I'll be more productive not being on here all the time.

Not to mention you can finally take care of that "swimmer's ear"... But seriously, Tricky, check in from time to time. Enjoy your posts.

Our company fleet is all Chevy trucks. Although I’m not a fan personally, those trucks drive well and hold up to abuse. The Trail Boss has a 2” lift and decent tires. Personally I’d rather have a F-150 Tremor, but I understand people being disappointed enough to leave Ford forever.

After receiving the email in August saying I would be 22 I was mentally checked out of the Bronco and was planning on changing my order to a base, then I got a build date of 11/15 for the 2021 Badlands. Que up the additional disappointment when they push my build date a few times.

Finally got my test drive yesterday. It was a 4 door big bend with a soft top. I loved it. Even at 70 in the interstate, cabin noise was negligible. Dealer is supposed to get a 2 door badlands sasq in a week or two. It’ll have to do until mine comes in.

Dick, a man's gotta do what's best for his family, and himself. However, don't leave the forum. We'll miss you just too much.

As the list of issues and recalls and warranty complaints grows here, we find that it's far from perfect even after the wait.

Pretty much every car has issues…even Toyotas and Hondas. It’ll be interesting to see how Ford handles them.

Thanks guys. I'll check in occasionally. The emotional investment over the last year plus is hard to quit overnight. I haven't officially called the dealer to cancel yet, still kicking around the idea of flipping it myself. I'll have to judge the market in December.

I'm loving my new-to-me Super Duty, I can't believe I've never owned one. The 13 mpg might have something to do with it.

I have a friend that bought one in 2006 in red. He's still driving it today. He has worked that big thing hard, and it has taken everything he's thrown at it. But yes, he said that V10 was a thirsty monster.

The backup plan is in place. Price negotiated. Vehicle located. Don't even need to custom order. I can have it before Halloween. Just need to slap a deposit down on it.

I had a 2005 with the 5.4 and I got the same gas mileage as my buddy with the V-10.

Well……if Ford would deliver something more than a random 4 door soft top we would have a new thread.

random 4 door soft top here... and my car is sitting on doo doo mountain (built on 8/16)... so we are SOL, too

You better check-in from time to time. It just won’t be the same without you and your “Zuk.” Maybe down the road you’ll order a Bronco again and it won’t take a year or more, and it’ll have additional cup holders and you’ll have the last laugh

P.s. - I’ll still tag you in a bunch of posts… that won’t stop lol

Getting closer to getting a keep every time there is another delay. I’m teetering on the edge of NEVER buying a Ford vehicle after this roll out. Ford almost converted me from a previous Jeep and Toyota off road enthusiast, but now….

 

[69BroncoX302]

Just curious as to how many of you are considering moving on from the Bronco?

Not going to lie I don't want to cancel my order but the more I see what's going on with quality issues and the delay getting worse I might walk soon.

Ive been without a vehicle for over 1 year now waiting for this. I really thought I'd have it by now or at least early Fall. It's now looking like we'll deep into 2022 and beyond. I'm a July 29th 2020 reservation.

I built a reserved a 2 door Basequatch in Velocity Blue.

I don't know if it's just because I'm going crazy or what but I've been looking hard into Jeeps. There's a lot I like about the Bronco better but there are some things about the Jeep I like better. And I have a feeling for 2022 Jeep will make some updates and offer more goodies to compete with Ford. I guess we'll see soon. One major thing I like better is the better color options. I really like Sarge Green. I also like Nacho and Gecko.

Like I said I don't want to cancel my order but I don't know how much longer I can wait. I might just say screw it and order me a 2022 2 door Jeep Willys. Seems like a nice little package. And I do like the way Jeep has more of a military look especially with the 2 door with Sarge Green.

I don't know. Am I crazy? Anyone else feeling this way? I know there's a lot of die hards here but this is crazy.

They up cancelled my FE, so no idea. Still love my 69 though.
