I feel for you and hope you can force them to stick to what you agreed with them. I knew Lindsay Ford was untrustworthy the moment I first contacted them to ask how they would price the car if I would order through them and received a weasely answer. Needles to say I didn’t order through them.
I am thinking if switching to the 4-door with soft top; just to make sure, does the 189.4 length include the spare tire? It's going to be tight in my garage...
I would take my 2-door Bronco now without any top, and order the aftermarket Best top softtop with it; I was going to do that anyway, for the summer. Happy to wait for the hard top to come later! Unlikely to happen, I get it, but I am certainly not the only one who would do this.
Looking sharp! I saw some 4-doors in Moab in person and liked it better than I thought I would; photos somehow make it look longer than it is, must be something with the distortion of the lens I guess. Still happy to have ordered the 2-door...
If you are worried about depreciation and reliability with the Defender and want something else than the Bronco, consider a (used) Mercedes G-class. I am a fan of the more spartan models but would not consider one because I want to be able to drive without the top.
Awesome review! Was the soft top the factory top or the fastback top? I ordered the hardtop and am on the fence about getting the fastback top; if that's what you are describing, I would be sold.
I am with you, the Bronco is going to be more capable than what I will ever need, but hey, I really...
