A Honda Accord costs $27,295+
Individuals who are wealthy enough to buy an expensive Bronco Raptor AND pay $25k ADM are somewhat disconnected from the prices that us common folk pay for things. That's the reason why Ford can get away with increasing the MSRP of the OPs build by $13,250 in a...
Sorry, but the Bronco has practically no chance of becoming a valuable future classic. Think about it. Car culture has completely disappeared in the generation that needs to show up to pay premium prices and collect these vehicles 30+ years in the future.
I mean, we are talking about...
Does anyone know exactly what the ECO mode does to try to save fuel? I would guess that the scale of the gas pedal is artificially altered, so the amount of throttle delivered is less than the actual position you are pressing the pedal with your foot. I would also guess that the wastegate is...
Yes, I find this very relatable. This purchase was to be my first Ford ever, and this experience is how Ford chose to roll the carpet out for a completely new customer. I suspect that this has caused many bridges to be burned between Ford and their customers.
I'm really rooting for you and...
I'm 100% sure that they aren't flipping you off. When you flip someone off, you make a fist, stick your middle finger straight up in the air, and extend that in the other persons direction with the BACK of your hand facing the individual. You describe that their hand is on the steering wheel and...
Its kind of crazy how reactionary people are when it comes to gas prices. When prices are high, people flock to more fuel efficient crossovers and compact vehicles. When prices are low, those same people go straight back to their gas guzzling trucks and SUVs, almost as if they don't realize that...
1. I don't think you want to really be looking at rock rails for this. Some rock rails might incorporate a step but they usually don't stick out far enough to be used that way.
2. A nerf bar is probably a better fit for your needs since your main concern is aiding the rear passenger and, as you...
I think the 2.7 issue is blown way out of proportion. A bad batch of engines was built using defective parts, which is not something that you would need to worry about with a Bronco that hasn't even been built yet. I feel that both of these engines are equally reliable.
The 2.3 engine was my...
All Bronco's at every trim level come standard with LED headlights. The thing that hurt their score is the fact that the LED headlights don't perform very well. Unfortunately, when it comes to the LED headlights on the Bronco, a rating of "marginal" is as good as it gets!
I also remember...
Since the buttons on this one single door will not respond at all, and you have already double checked your wire connections, the next step at this point would be to bust out a multimeter and start poking around at the switches, connections, and inside the door.
My thought is that it is now...
Having the engine cut out definitely crosses their line for a safety recall. There are many previous examples of the NHTSA forcing a recall when the engine could die.

The estimated delivery date that Ford places on the microchip hold vehicles in their holding lot is not accurate. Yes, it is possible that this Bronco will deliver in July, but the reality is that its kind of a crapshoot.
My status switched to "built". I received the email at 1:29 a.m. last night...
Maybe there is going to be a 2nd quarter push after all? Maybe they have some people on night-shift picking through the holding lot?
That's super frustrating. Are the 12 Bronco's all customer orders or are some of them available as dealer stock? Maybe you could talk to your dealership about buying one of these arrivals and letting the dealer have the ice mountain Bronco in its place?
I can honestly say that the only reason I'm hanging onto my order is because the overall lack of vehicle supply and "Bronco hysteria" has driven the prices up to insane levels. I know I can turn it in to Carvana or Carmax and make $10k+ profit with zero effort on my part.
So my plan is to be...
Many are recommending to buy the 4-door and then selling it when your 2-door sasquatch comes in, but I wouldn't be confident that this is even an option.
The dealership already communicated to you that they plan to put a 12k markup on the 4-door Big Bend if you pass on it. That makes me believe...
The July 29-Aug 4th estimate they gave you is meaningless.
From what I've observed, Ford arbitrarily adds an additional 90 days to their ETA's when a Bronco is moved to the holding lot with a chip hold. If Aug 4th arrives and your Bronco still sits incomplete, Ford will just add another 90 days...
I clicked on the link, and it looks like price of your $170 foot rests have already shot up to $184.99! Better get them quick, they will cost over $200 by the end of the day! 😄
I think when these companies see Bronco's selling with $10,000-$20,000+ ADMs, its obvious to them that their customers...
