Hey All! Finally got Bucklee on Thursday and just wow, this thing is so much fun. I plan on learning a lot more about cars and getting out of my comfort zone mechanically.

I will be driving out to Vegas in September and spending a couple of weeks doing some overlanding and adventuring. So if anyone's got any trails or other recommendations, I'm all ears!

Looking forward to getting more involved in the Bronco Community!

Just got back from from my Son's wedding in McKinney Tx. We drove the Bronco, approximately 2,200 miles there and back. I've driven a lot of vehicles on long distance trips and the Bronco is without a doubt the most comfortable. On the was back I was ready to do the whole trip in a day but the wife wouldn't hear it. The only thing is, we did end up with a chip and a crack in the windshield. My seat is a little rippled. I thought the heavy duty vinyl would hold up a lot better. By the time we got back we averaged 17.8 miles to a gallon. I think the MPG would be better with 92 octane. All in all, I, we, are very pleased with our Bronco.

Just picked up my 2022 Black Diamond last Friday! Super excited to finally have it. Thought I would join the group and say hi. Definitely looking for some calmer trails/logging roads to get the Bronco broken in on. I’m in the New Albany area.

Thanks!!! I've heard of the place! I'm thinking about going in March. Do you think a Bronco Sport can handle it? My brother in law has a BS First Edition. My dad has a Wrangler, and I want to invite them too.

Happy New Year! Anyone want to meet up on Wednesday the 4th at high banks in New Albany? I am thinking 5 pm so there is still some daylight. I will buy the first round. Would love to see what mods people have done.

Hello, Pickerington here. I have a Bronco that was scheduled for 12/12 with a blend date of 12/16. It's been in the production stage for almost a couple weeks. Does anyone know what the average time is for the production stage?

Any recommendations for a Columbus-area dealer who has a good service department?

I've always had a good relationship with Ricart's service department.

@Swatman I’m going in Thursday for my third service. They’re timely, efficient, reasonable, friendly, and they even gave me the half-full bottle of synthetic oil from my first oil change so that they could use it on the second change. I’ve been pleased so far!

Had an Incredible weekend at Hatfield McCoy trails (www.trailshaven.com). It’s in WV and is a short drive from Columbus. Broncos are allowed at Cabwaylingo, Bearwallow, and Ivy Branch. I ran a loads of trails at Cabwaylingo and Bearwallow. Tested out a lot of the technology (didn’t love 1 pedal or trail cruise, but trail turn assist was amazing). Didn’t baby Bronco at all. My skids plates were used frequently. Kept up with SXS on trails. Helmets were required and there is a $50 yearly fee For the use of all the trails.

Besides the fun trails, the scenery was beautiful (even saw deer on the trails).

Just thought I'd share this for anyone who didn't see it on social.

What better way to kick off 72° in Ohio than the first @columbustrucksandcoffee of the season?!

Trucks, Broncos, Jeeps, Range Rovers & all SUV’s alike! Drop it down into 4x4 and crawl your way over to our lot this Saturday, March 5th from 11am-1pm!

@roadsidelunchbox will be running the grill for a bite with of course coffee & music for a great afternoon. Let’s start 2022 off right!

Are there any dealers doing invoice pricing or excepting x-plan?

Is anyone here in Ohio experiencing a positive dealer relationship regarding their Bronco order? Please describe.

Mine isn’t awful, and since placing my order earlier this year, I have reached out for information four times... twice ignored. The Bronco specialist there denied the deadly options announced before May 19th saying only modular roof was an issue. No proactive contact or updates. Makes me think I chose poorly.

Stephens is on this forum and very actively replies. Seem to be one of the most informed dealers. Of their 108 allocation 50 have build dates.

Well I was planning on going coming from Zanesville but as I go to register there is only 2 time slots (2-3, 3-4) and I will be at my daughters ball game at 2pm in Lewis Center. The family was pumped to go up early to look at them but we will have to skip. Bummed out for sure.

According to my contact at Ricart; Ford is “bringing two four-door Broncos. There will be a Ford accessory team and product specialist” on Saturday for their Bronco family event.

Hi guys, I am also at Ricart. Haven't heard from my sales guy since he called in October/November saying we would order in December. Obviously that date has since changed, but haven't heard anything since."

Ricart does do engine/trans/turbo lifetime warranty and no ADMs.I couldn't find that at any othe rdealer near me.

Ricart sent out emails today. They will input your order after they receive a $500 deposit.

I'm a Toyota-loyalist making the switch to Ford because of the Bronco. I've been working with Masheter since the beginning and I've been really happy. Good price, attentive sales rep (Jim), and well-informed resident Bronco expert (Gene). I have no previous Ford dealership allegiance, and so far, I'd recommend Masheter.

I stuck with Masheter. Put my order in last week. So far it's going fine.

You're with Ricart, right? That's awesome. I haven't heard anything from Masheter. I'm a July 14 reservation so maybe summer isn't impossible for me. Have you figured out your build? I'm still struggling a bit.

With Ricart. They’ve been great. Build all figured out: 4-DR BD 2.7 AT MIC top MID TOW VB with retro graphics.

What’s your holdup?
Swatman

I may switch to Ricart. I had pretty much settled on BL non-sasq with upgraded wheels, 2.7 and HIGH, but apparently you can't get the 4.7 drive ratio with the automatic, so I'm trying to decide whether to go to the 2.3 manual. Also still thinking about BD, which I like a lot.
