It's worth it. I've been 1000mi in the first week. I wanted to hate this thing. Really. The powertrain (2.3, 10spd) has been a surprise. The trans software must've had a lot of refinement. The emotional lows are a distant memory, now, and yours will be soon. I keep coming back here,like...
I almost hate to post this.. John at Stephen's Auto emailed today. 6 or 7 Broncos, including mine, were delivered. 1 June build, EDD 8-14 June. Still stunned.
At least they have shown they "CAN" ship without modules. It was mentioned previously in this group that they "WONT" deliver to a customer without the module installed. I know its just words, but I'm thirsty for hope, and a sip is better than none.
I don't care if its the "Windshield Flies Out (WFO3678-1)" module. I'd rather have the vehicle now. I'll figure the interest rate, extended warranty, hatred for management, and global warming stuff out later...
Hell, no! If you "remove" the tow package, your Bronco will get it's missing chip in late April, then be driven 3 spots over, where it will wait until July for a tech with a wrench to show up and remove the hitch....
In my mind I drew a picture of some poor soul on the night shift slogging through a blizzard to find my bronco on ice mountain, smoking a marlboro red and toting a very small electronic device. Puffing smoke as he/she pokes around in the dark under the dash or console or wherever the damned...
I'm holding hope that the ice mountain inventory will blend into the shipping que smoothly. I have no knowledge of the "on ground" logistics, but I'd bet its easier for MAP to take the just produced and get them on a truck or rail than it is to send people out to retrieve iced over "last week"...
My experience with all of the trackers is that something positive appears after I'm shutout for a day. Well, not always, but I couldn't get to my modules last night. This morning saw good news.
