I wouldn't necessarily call a 3-4 month fix a quick turnaround fix. It's not like they're starting from scratch and creating a new product.

Stacy, road noise is a relative thing. What's loud for one isn't that loud too others. If you're considering a soft top maybe test drive one if you get a chance, even a Jeep if you can't find a Bronco. Then you can decide for yourself what you think. I've driven GM plastic cars for years, so road noise in the wife's Mustang convertible is non-existent.
Yeah no shit... Your basically driving a brick and you want 30 mpg....Hilarious with people posting MPG when they drive 80 and 90MpH
It probably doesn't matter much to Americans who pay what, $2.75 a gallon and think thats a lot, but you use FOUR times more fuel every time you double your speed...
Doesn't matter if it's 25/50MPH or 100/200MPH.... 4X as much.
My bad, I didn't mean "sounding" as in the sound inside the vehicle. I meant "sounding" referring to all the negative soft top feedback that keeps coming in.Stacy, road noise is a relative thing.

I audibly laughed at this. $2.75 a gallon? I think I got gas at $4.75 yesterday. I'm just lucky I only buy 3 gallons to fill up. If my Bronco ever gets here, I'm in for a world of pain.Hilarious with people posting MPG when they drive 80 and 90MpH

I'm with you on this. I rarely exceed 70 even if the limit is higher, and not coincidentally I always beat sticker ratings. It has to be a really long trip to realize any significant time savings. (My bikes OTOH, I often ride at felony speeds. Ooops).Hilarious with people posting MPG when they drive 80 and 90MpH

My same thoughts after driving a soft top WT. It was quiet and drama free, even with the top down, but with windows up, it made a big difference.
I keep seeing posts with people mentioning playing around with multiple early reservations. In that case, Bronco demand might be significantly less than some people assume. I wonder the percentage of people who have two (or more using a spouse) reservations?I just passed 3000 miles on my Big Bend, which is a very basic rig with four cylinder engine and soft top. The good…..excellent road manners, drives incredibly smooth even at 90 plus mph, far superior to my 2016 Wrangler Rubicon, really no comparison. Even without lift or aggressive tires it handled off road in the Colorado mountains extremely well, even through some pretty rough and rocky trails.
The bad….only 18.3 mpg so far, although to be fair much of it is off road or at higher speeds than most (already got first speeding ticket as well) will drive. I am installing tube steps next week, my wife struggles to get in, the grab handles don’t seem to help, she is just five feet even.
The ugly…the soft top is a pain at best. When stowed all of the way, you lose entire visibility through rear mirror. Removed completely it would solve the problem, but then you wouldn’t have the top available. There is a ton of road noise as well as warm air circulating around the cabin. The three removable panels are a real pain to get back in place properly, easily as bad as the Wrangler soft top, which is a similar nightmare as well.
That’s about it, I have a second order confirmation from January, I plan to use it to buy the one I really wanted, which will be a hardtop six cylinder Sasquatch stick. I fully expect to wait until fall of 22 before I get it, and I also fully expect that I will find a buyer for my current Bronco (even with 30 k miles) at the $39 k price I paid.
I am doing the Off Roadeo in Austin next weekend, which should help me figure exactly how to configure my next order. I feel for all of you waiting for delivery, but trust me that you won’t be disappointed!
Think there is a big market with thoughts of keeping one, and flipping another reservation to your point.
2.75 a gallon? I wish some I saw pushing over 5 for premiumHilarious with people posting MPG when they drive 80 and 90MpH

I agreed, the JLU soft top windows are extremely easy to put on (5min task), I was told the JK are more difficult. As for the Bronco, I think it is more difficult than the JLU. I was at my dealership, and asked if I can do a test drive with the top up. It took us close to 20min, because one of the side windows isn't reaching far enough to slide into the seam. With that being said, I think it has to do with doing it in a cold morning.
