📷: Broncos await road tests in snowy FEU Lot🐎

[Beach_Bum]

regarding testing, just looking at the snow on the broncos brought something to mind. I went out last night and my driver side window was frozen and wouldn't go down (the molding thing at the bottom was holding it in place). Well, when you open the door on the broncos the window does a little drop (half inch?) so that the door can be closed and the window doesn't hit the top when you go to shut it. If it's frozen (as will happen) then that'll cause problems with the window motor and when you go to shut it again hitting the top of the door frame. Unfortunately not all of us live in nice sunny places. Hope ford remembered to test for this problem.

Valid point. I also hope the window regulator isn't a cheap unit with plastic parts. I've had to replace my window regulators (over 15 times) on my Jeep because of inadequate door insulation and plastic clips. On the passenger side that receives direct sun where it is parked, the expansion/contraction caused by the heat causes the plastic components to break. When they do, the entire window regulator needs to be replaced. I don't even use the front/rear passenger windows, but even still the window regulator last about 2 years.

Snow looks great on the soft tops. I'm wondering if the top delay could also be the cause of the 2 door delay.

Maybe the 2 doors will be sold first to those wanting soft tops.

I'd rather have a soft top than a MIC top anyway - if the soft top folds down as far as my old Jeep's top.

Ohhhhh man! They are all beautiful!

This group of photos shows the true colors better than anything I've seen yet. That cactus grey looks like cactus grey here. the other colors are nice and even toned and all of them seem to look better than I had thought in older photos. buncha jewels in the snow

I didn't know Jeeps had them. No issues on my '13 Grand Cherokee or the JK (no regulator). I'd be shocked if Ford didn't consider this however. This isn't an issue on their other vehicles.

Are we calling the sissy bar a BO bar or a RONC bar, I am so confused?

I'm surprised they are even legal OEM from a pedestrian crash safety standpoint.

OMG!!!! I think that’ll be the first song I play in my Bronco!!! Love it!

Down by the river side going to lasso me a bronco to take for a ride...all wild making hard for a person to decide!!!

This is the Final Engineering Utilization (FEU) Lot...

Final Engineering Utilization Lot this is where they are parked after road test to be looked over!

Michigan snow day Stig was enjoying the weather!

The pattern from the road spray in this pic and a few others makes it look like the sides are going to get pasted with those micro rock dings from the "sand" they put on the Colorado roads in the winter. I think I'll need to find a small or removable flap for behind the fronts.

Thank you for the pictures!! But in the second image from the top - the two door OB on the left - is it Iconic Silver? Looks bluer than oxford white but can't be the cactus gray, or is it?.. Thanks in advance.

Another good reason not to judge color with the snow is because of photography. Without going into a long, detailed explanation, the snow will trick the camera into seeing different shades. Also happens in various lighting. Your eyes can compensate, even the best pro cameras out there can have difficulty.

Good point. Also, the minute those start driving, the snow will look grey with road sand, salt debris on it.

Is this confirmed VB or LB?

Not sure on that, but it sure isn't A51 like a prior member was questioning.

The more I see the silver steel wheels on the base the more I wanna paint my Future Black Diamond steel wheels Silver or White
