Took home my Wildtrak! I only have a few pictures so far as I've been redoing a house in the middle of getting the Bronco. Below are a few notes of my experience/thoughts, build summary, and timeline. I can post more pictures later.
Edit: My dealer was in Louisiana. I relocated to the TN area in August. Had to go back to La for the vehicle. No ADM or funny business. Had a few issues with the dealer but nothing critical, just me being anal and them not caring or understanding.
Thoughts so far:
Second edit/update to my thoughts: A complaint I do have is with the interior lighting. It’s way too dark in the back seat and cargo at night. Barely can see anything.

Thoughts so far:
- Fantastic. I love this thing.
- Odometer had 7 miles on it at pickup. Currently around 989 miles.
- I've had zero error or caution messages. No gremlins (yet). Everything good so far. Fingers crossed.
- MIC top seems to be fine. Smooth edges. No honeycomb. There is a whistle that starts around 65mph, but I didn't expect much different. I've been caught in a few heavy rain storms and there has been zero leakage. Sound deadening material is fine for aesthetics as I don't think it reduces any dBs; I think it's more for looks to cover the raw interior of the MIC.
- 2.7L kills it and I'm very impressed. I noticed a pretty significant difference in the throttle response after only 200 miles. It started out nice with good response, just a little rough as if it was searching or trying to get use to my driving. After 200 miles (and now only at 989 miles) it is much cleaner and smoother. Almost night and day compared to when I drove it off the lot. It is very powerful, quick response, and very, very smooth. I love it.
- Sport mode is a blast! My kids love it.
- The B&O is good. I know there's a lot of complaints out there, but I enjoy it. I think it is very clear sounding once you play with it a bit. I use it in Surround mode, but also leverage my Spotify equalizer to tweak it on top of the B&O EQ. As some had said, it is a little "front heavy" on the sound considering the front speaker location in relation to the rear, but overall I'm extremely satisfied and happy I upgraded to the LUX.
- Ready to hit some trails
