Good Evening everyone! Glad I found this group! It looks like I should be taking delivery of my Bronco in 2-3 weeks. I was looking at getting the car wrapped in Xpel Stealth sometime this year but the quote I got from Xpel Houston seemed high at $7,300 (entire vehicle wrap). Has anyone had theirs wrapped in Xpel at a shop they liked and paid a reasonable price? Or maybe this is just around the price range I should expect in Houston? Based on what another member said they paid (ableit in another state) it seems like a better price could be found.

@BadSasG6 Yeah that's the "other member" I was referencing haha. Definitely seems like I should be able to find a better price.

That’s what I was quoted as well. I’ve gone 44 years without it so far. Looks like I’ll be going even more. Too much for my liking.

Yeah I agree. I would still like to get it done so when I have some time I’ll probably shop around for other quotes. I have a hard time believing there isn’t better pricing around town. Just need to make sure they are an authorized Xpel shop so the product qualifies for the warranty.

@Bcol2012 I have decided to attempt it myself. I have done my research and have purchased all the products I need. Just need to find a nice weekend to get it done.

Hi all. We have been working through setting up a shop to cater to the new broncos right here in Houston. Right now we are in our body shop Jammer's auto. We can get alot of Bronco parts and install them right here. We can do lifts, wheels, tires, bumpers, lights, etc.

We have been working on customizing a couple of broncos already. I've posted this Big Bend around the site but heres one quick pic.

The graphics guy we used for the stripes is here in Houston also. Not sure if everyone knows that, Underground Graphics is here in town right off 59.

Let us know if we can help!

Hi all, I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to try to organize a meet up next weekend before everyone's schedule gets really busy for the holidays. (or it turns numbingly cold or blistering hot, who knows in Texas)

I would like to invite ya'll up to the Old Town Spring area on Saturday, November 20th, 2021 at ???(probably early afternoon) for a meetup. I am going to talk with a few businesses this weekend to see where we could actually meet up at. But please let me know if you are coming so I can get a good idea for the business.

We want to accommodate as many that want to come but also know that time and distance can be a factor. So why come all the way out here? Well, Old Town Spring is a really awesome place of that old small town charm near the railroads that gave life to Houston and Texas. There are many little stores and small eateries along with a few watering holes. You can really make a full day of just wandering around and seeing a little bit of history and supporting small businesses.

Check it out at : Old Town Spring | Texas

I made a post in the Texas Forum but if I missed you on the list please let me know so I can add you.

So was wondering with all the MY22 ordering going on how many in the Houston area have actually received/ in transit their MY21? I went with Chapman at the beginning of the year due to not knowing where I was going to be located in the US (transferring commands amid COVID sucks). Kinda gauging whether I should tough it out or now that I know I'm here to move the order closer.

My Bronco shows at CSX, Any experience on the timing from CSX to Dealer? It estimates between 13 and 18 days. I talked with Gullo Ford (1) Appreciate Ethical No Mark-up on MSRP (2) He said many people have quit at the rail yard in Houston due to less work and may take up to 2 days to get to the dealer.

Any plans for the next meet up? Now that it seems more builds are getting into enthusiast's hands and the weather has gotten nicer maybe a trail ride?

Mind if I crash the party? I'm on the Roll Call list despite not having mine yet.
Just got bumped form 11/15 to Thanksgiving week. I'll be amazed if I get mine before Christmas.

7/13 res. 11/29 scheduled build week with autonation gulf fwy. My first and only scheduled build date. Have you spoken to John Wilson about an update? I went this past Friday and he said I was the last reservation that made it for 2021. 53 others got pushed to 2022.

I bought a base from them in august with 0 hassle, in terms of sales experience. The base arrived with a damaged hood that I’m still waiting to get a replacement for. The body control module had to be changed (2 weeks to diagnose and repair) because the front turn signals weren’t working. As far as dealer behavior, they have been fine to work with.

Yeah John Wilson is my guy but I usually have to email the general manager BrianNicholson in order to motivate John to send me an update....

I was told by planet ford that once when they were loaded onto the train is when Vin became visible on Google which happened last week and led planet to list each incoming bronco as special order SOLD.on their website?

Hi all. Just found this. I never looked down to see the clubs. Great to see!
I got 2 on order and both are in dirt mountain. My 2 door a 7/19 blend never made it out. The 4 door is a 8/12 blend. Not even seeing the modules on that one. But sounds like I’ll get both in 21.

Hey @arniej92! A bunch of Houston Bronco folks are meeting at Saint Arnold's Brewery tomorrow at 3:00. Come join us. You don't have to actually have it yet to come.

Has anyone from the Houston area been able to find a dealer willing to deal on price? I have talked to around five and the best offer I have been able to get is MSRP + lifetime powertrain warranty. Is there anything better to be found in the area?

I was originally with McRee Ford and they offered $1000 below MSRP. I changed my order to one of the other advertisers on here where it was $1,000 below invoice. I was told I was allocation #11 of 40 for MY21

For an out of state purchase, do you have to pay the vehicle sales tax in the state of purchase (Louisiana 4%) and the Texas vehicle sales tax (6.25%) when registering the vehicle in Texas? The Texas DMV website reads that a vehicle purchased outside of Texas must pass inspection and then upon registering it in Texas, you must pay: Registration Fee ($50.75), Title Application ($33), Inspection Fee ($30.75), Local County Fee ($31.50), 6.25% vehicle sales tax, $5.75 other (https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/buying-or-selling-a-vehicle/out-of-state-and-foreign-vehicles). For a $60K vehicle, this totals $3900 Texas fees.

@Don A From what I have read you only have to pay the tax in the state that it is registered in. You may have to pay the dealer fees in the other state but not the tax. Some dealers are offering to add the tax and fees into the financing price and then cut you a check so you have the money to pay the taxes and fees when you register it.

Did anyone ever find a deal Gullo wouldn't budge off MSRP.....I have an ordered there and I placed a second order at Chapman Ford in PA for the 3% off invoice. I also didn't make the cut on Gullo first 13 order build dates, with a 7/15 reservation.

I do not believe any of the Houston area dealers matched or came close to the Bob Utter Ford deal.

Howdy All! I'm excited about learning 6th generation Bronco stuff. The first Bronco was conceived about the same time in the 60's that I was conceived. My first brand new vehicle. I am very late to the game with a December reservation. I live in the Woodlands and want to order my Bronco in the greater Houston area. I would roadtrip to save a grand.... but I don't see that happening.
-Has anyone had Bronco-related experiences at a Houston area Ford dealership?
-Have you talked to anyone at your assigned dealership, and what did you learn from them?
-The $100 reservation fee is refundable, But once I place my order, do I get the $100 back?
-I understand that everything beyond the reservation is DEALERSHIP specific. So you can AND WILL get different deals from different dealerships. Let's talk about our experiences and try to help each other relieve some of the anxiety associated with vehicle purchases.
-Reservations must be converted by March 19, 2021.

Reservation date: 12/05/2020
My current dealership: Planet Ford, Spring, TX
Dealer contact: no call yet
When was order placed: Not Yet, I will likely push it until early March.
Pricing: not discussed
Deposit: $500 refundable
Dealer Adds: not sure

I will revise my info if I learn more about my dealer. Or if I change my dealership.

A short email from Tomball Ford from last week.

Jorge Lopez your Bronco specialist here. I hope you are doing well today. You might already know this, but the Build and Price web site should go live in a few days. I am super excited about this and know you are too. Remember that build and price will allow you to see a rendering of your Bronco with the options, packages, color, and accessories you would like to have. And, you will have about 2 months to think about what you would like to decide on getting. Yeah, I know, exciting stuff here! Also, I will be making a video on build and price as soon as I can explore the site so that I can share my feed back with you.

Now, I invite you to check out my latest video on my YouTube channel regarding the top 17 question I have gotten regarding Ford Bronco. As always, let me know if you have any questions. Have a blessed day!
