  1. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Sorry to ask something that may have already been discussed. Has Ford mentioned if there was any kind "build date switchover" where new 2023 models are already built with the updated parts/synchros?
  2. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    I have a really dumb question that I should have thought to ask when I was at SAC... I've never bought a new car from an out of state dealer before. For those of you outside of WV, do you get your license plate in the mail like you would from an in-state purchase? Or do I have to take my...
  3. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    Well, fellas... yesterday was the day for me as well! We made the 4.5hr trek up to SAC and brought home our Big Bend! I echo everything everyone else has said about the team at SAC. Such an easy, casual, pleasant buying experience. I didn't have time to look at specific VINs, but I did...
  4. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    Yeah, according to the tracker mine's been there since the 24th. Still no call. Must take a while to get through final service prep.
  5. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    I have my fingers crossed I get the call from Joe today. I'm free all day tomorrow... so that'd be the perfect time to cruise up to WV and pick up the Bronco! If I don't make today's cut, no idea when I'll be able to make the drive up there...
  6. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    All these pic requests... evidently, mine's there too. If anyone spots a soft top non-sas cactus gray big bend somewhere out there, add me to the pic request list. Ha.
  7. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    I can't help but feel for John and the SAC team. Years of Broncos trickling in and having to deal with our incessant whining and questions... And now all of a sudden they have the problem of a lot full of dozens of vehicles showing up all at once with a bunch of eager buyers ready to flood the...
  8. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    I'm in the same boat as several others. Never got a shipping email, but the Ford tracker now says it's in "final prep" at the dealer. Is that legit? After all this time I'm so skeptical to believe that the vehicle is truly there...
  9. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    Dunno if I needed to, but I called Ford and got my "Private Offer Certificate Number" this morning. No clue where my vehicle actually is. It shows on the SAC website, and my Ford tracker says the delivery estimate is today through the 27th. I doubt it's actually en route, though. But who knows...
  10. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    Back door link for me as of this morning says I'm built and have an estimated delivery of 4/24-4/30. Wild.
  11. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    While I appreciate the snark... I already own two 6-speed Wranglers! And they're both great!
  12. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    This thread stresses me out so much... I'm about a month away from my theoretical build date. If Ford is still manufacturing new manual trans Broncos with this known issue... I think at this point I might just choose not to purchase the vehicle. That would be an absolute disappointment after...
  13. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    I got my latest scheduled-date change email last night. I've gone from 4/3 to 4/10 to 4/24 and now back to 4/17. So, I've successfully ping-ponged through all the possible weeks of April!
  14. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    I'm glad all you guys finally got scheduled. Amusing that those of us who got scheduled a few weeks ago with 4/3 dates all got slid out to 4/24 dates... and then Ford scheduled all these for 4/10. Hmmm... I wonder if maybe Ford is delaying the manual trans builds because of the grinding...
  15. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    Mine was scheduled in the last go-round of scheduling. It was originally a 4/3 date that has since slid out to 4/24. So, I would assume most of the already scheduled orders are slated for the late April/early May timeframe.
  16. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    Sorry to ask a question that's probably been answered numerous times before, but for those who have taken delivery recently - what's the latest timeframe for transport/delivery? Like, from your build date how long on average does it take the vehicle to get to SAC? Are we still in that like 10-12...
  17. The Bronco Has Nearly Caught Jeep Wrangler in Sales

    I echo what others have said about seat comfort/interior space. Full disclosure, I'm totally a "Jeep Guy". I'd honestly never have considered a Bronco if I could fit comfortably in a Wrangler. For Jeep to compete with the Bronco long-term (assuming reliability/capability/availability equals out...
  18. What's your least favorite Bronco color?

    Surprised to see so many hating on silver. I get that it can be considered a "boring" color, but it's a pretty easy color to keep clean and it hides minor scratches better than most other colors. Silver cars tend to still look good when they have some years on them. I voted for Shadow Black...
  19. The Plan & Offer - Stephens Auto Center's Mid Atlantic Bronco Connection

    I got bumped to 4/10 as well. When I told my wife we'd been scheduled, I was like, "But I'm sure it'll change five times between now and then, so we probably won't actually get built until some time in May... and then it'll take another two months to get delivered." I'm not expecting it any...
