Kinda makes the case to buy a base Bronco and build a rig with real off-road capable bash plates and bumpers. The factory parts didn't protect the undercarriage very well IMO.

Looks like they drove it off the ramp and hit something. Check the lower control arms for damage.
Holy sh*t. Looks like they drove it into a bollard. How do you dent in a solid steel bumper to the point of collapsing the intercooler.. on a transport truck?!

All these issues, mostly one-offs, along with the instant mass-spread of information provided by social media, is going to kill the Bronco before it gets out of the gate.

While others will suggest Ford owes you a new truck and a BJ. In reality Ford has no duty to disclose the damage pre delivery. The dealer is probably sending pics hoping the OP will walk away and they can sell it with a big ADM.

Man that sucks.
I think I've mentioned a couple times how disappointing the HD bumper is. There you go. That intercooler is tiiiiny too.

Yup. I got a smoking deal on a Grand Cherokee back in the day. Years later it was in the shop repairing an electrical issue in one of the doors when overspray was discovered. Entire driver side of the vehicle had been repaired from shipping damage and it wasn’t disclosed.
Bronco looks so naked without its face
I think this is the third one I’ve seen with damage in that exact area. I’d like to know what the deal is? Also they hit something hard as fuck. My dealer told me their zone rep smoked a deer at 70mph and it was just a little dent on the bumper.
That sucks. Hope they get it repaired and back to you quick!
Also, will something like this end up on a Carfax report?
