From 4/21 to 5/9
7/14 pre order date and 3/1 order date… been a long wait.
Wildtrak 4 dr Lux will see if this actually ever happens
Anyone with this build week actually have a vin?
This has been obviously coming for a month plus, and I suspect it’s not even close to the last bit of “bad news”. A company with a long history of suspect decision making and below average customer service doesn’t suddenly change their stripes because they finally design a vehicle people want to...
Oh there’s no question there. A very capable cool looking turd, if this rollout is any indication of Fords capability. Pretty telling there is still no word on new Raptors or F150 Tremors either, while debuting a dog ugly ev truck for publicity.
Got my Defender last week, lifted it in my garage this weekend and slapped on some bigger tires. Love how it's coming a long, looks great on the road and I've been stopped multiple times by onlookers etc.
What a terrific vehicle. I'm surprised how big it feels both while inside the cabin, and...
Defender gets here this week, have a date at Land Rover dallas to install 2” rod lift and big boy tires in 2 weeks. Will update with pics once it’s ready!
They're really hard to get at the moment, but most dealers should have at least one on the lot as their "demo". It's a great driving truck with very nice interior and a smooth ride. Actually, bone stock they are surprisingly capable - TFL took one up to CO and compared with the new Jeep 392...
A guy that works for me bought one of these a few weeks ago. It's... interesting? I'm not particularly fond of the way it looks (his is a Rubicon in Royal Blue with Red Lettering.....), but it seems really solid and well built. However, for a $60k truck the inside seems really chintzy and low...
Does sitting up higher alleviate this issue to any degree? I suppose not, but I'd hope that with the big lift the rocks would hit the front before popping over the hood onto the windshield.
I'm buying mine, then probably selling once the warranty expires (or perhaps looking at extended warranties, but have no experience with them so unsure how sound they are). If you're leasing, I've found BMW (of all car brands) to have by far the best lease resids - not just of luxury brands, of...
What an strange line of thought - Here's $500 for doing absolutely nothing save punching in my build.
$18k isn't irrelevant, it's irrelevant in the idea that we need a big vehicle now, there's nothing else on the market comparable to a Bronco save the Defender, we're left with few options here...
Are the prices that different though? I don't think that's really true anymore, as my X3M was in the $70k range which isn't much if any different to a nice F-150. And yet, the customer experience is night and day. Domestic auto brands have a ton to learn from both their German & Japanese (now...
Agreed! I ordered my 2014 Boxster "custom" and the communication throughout the process was superb. I've been a little ticked at Ford throughout this deal so I'm bailing on my Bronco. The comms have just been bizarre, and if you get saddled with a mediocre dealer it just feels bad. The whole...
Well, I finally had to pull the plug on the Bronco "dream". Between my dealerships utter lack of communication, and being a little disenfranchised with Ford and their entire rollout of this thing (7/14 9:00 am reservation), on top of needing a new vehicle ASAP I decided to buy a Defender. It was...
