She sure is!!!
Put about 350 miles on it since then, and I gotta say I enjoy driving this 7MT way more than my RS and its 6MT ๐Ÿฅฒ does that mean I'm getting old??

If anyone's looking for dashcam/radar detector wiring advice, let me know! Struggled with it for an hour trying to find the fuse box which is NOT under the glovebox ๐Ÿ˜… it's on the driver side, behind the trim panel that the headlight switch and parking brake are mounted to

We've done over 500. Took it over 88 and then back over 50 during 'SNOWPOCALPSE 2021" Solid as a rock in slippery GOAT mode. You had to try to spin the wheels or slide in a stop. Only scary bit was almost having an El Dorado Sheriff slide in to us in a Ford Explorer :oops:

I do, actually, have questions about the install. Does the trim snap cleanly back in place and not look all funky after you chase the wires?

I can try to take a picture for you -- the trim panel directly beneath the steering wheel that the headlights switch is mounted on snaps in and out very easily. It uses the sturdy, replaceable, blue wedge clips that work very well. Don't yank on it too hard, but grab it in the middle right under the steering wheel and apply consistent force down and out to snap it out of place. It will hang down on a pivot point at the bottom.

The only other trim panel I popped out/half removed was the plastic one between the weatherstripping on the door, and the one below the steering wheel mentioned above. I only popped this out to cleanly route the cable through a hole in the support structure. Without doing so, you'd have to crimp the cable underneath an edge of the steering wheel trim panel which looks and feels bad.

Is there anyone on here that can help me track my delivery by rail? I don't have the rail car number. I just found out that my Bronco shipped by rail instead of by truck.

Typically, you would contact your dealer and ask them to give you the railcar number -- they're ultimately the "recipient" of the shipment, not you

Iโ€™m going to wire mine this week! Whatโ€™s it hard to hide the wire?
