Bronco is now in Kentucky . So In 24 hours it went from Indiana to Kentucky. One might say a giant ass snail is being used to transport broncos. @Ford Motor Company can you confirm or deny this ?

were there storms last night?

It’s finally here, but it wasn’t without a few hiccups! It got to my dealer on 7/2 and I got an email that day from the sales manager to confirm that I had cancelled my reservation. After changing my shorts I called to say I definitely did not and I would work with my sales guy to pick it up. I was going to get it on 7/6, but it was affected by the window recall, so that was pushed back. The window was repaired without issue this Saturday and I went in to get it yesterday.


While on the test drive it stalled!!! It started back up fine, but we took it back to the dealer where a tech saw it threw an ABS low battery code or something. While my sales guy and I filled out paperwork the tech was going to charge the battery and check its health. When he went to access the battery he found the positive clamp was basically just resting on the terminal. He tightened it, checked everything over, and gave it a clean bill of health.

I’m very nervous driving it as my precious car was 15 years old and I didn’t really worry about anything happening to it. The Bronco gets a lot of attention though. From guys at a Toyota dealership staring as I drove by, to a homeless guy on the streets giving me a very emphatic thumbs up and happy dance, to my 70 year old neighbor coming over and asking me a hundred questions on it. In his words, “You can go anywhere with this!”

I hope everyone gets theirs soon. While I haven’t been vocal, I’ve always enjoyed your conversations and insights. Let the adventures begin.

Just letting you know. The stalling. Literally every person who had picked up their bronco. They had to hook the battery properly. That's nothing to worry about

Thanks for the heads up. Still unnerving!

Congrats. The battery issue was/is covered on page one, post one in the OCD checklist.

So trying to get remotivated. Dealer has one or two more days to update me on the windshield or Im calling.

To get me back into the groove, Ive started looking at accessories, again. As everything is costing more these days, Ive had to prioritize my wish list for upgrades. My “fun” things include larger tires, the IAG full length steps that attach to the OEM rock rails and some fog lights.

But Im going to be practical to start and pick up a tire refilling system, supplies willing. This will probably save me some complaints from my wife while we reflate after a day on the beach next month.

Haha, should have known. I used the checklist but have to admit I didn’t stick to it 100%.

Yup. Mine drove fine for about a week and one day wouldn't start. Checked the battery and that was it.

Nope to all from the dealership. Get your tint done on your terms so you can select the color and type you want. The dealership will just slap on the cheapest film they can get. Xzilon is just a liquid coating that has poor online reviews. Door edge guards will look goofy, IMO. You can get the Sync screen protectors from Stickerfab. The protector for a 12" screen is $35 and takes about 5 minutes to install.

If it's the door edge guards are like the one's that got put on mine, you can't even see them hardly. They are on in this picture. Had to work around them when I was doing the decals at the bottom. After getting them, I'm happy I did. Won't be getting chip on the edge. And the paint protection, I went with it after they told me the paint could get fixed if I was taking them off and i scratched it during removal. I'm late for the show since I haven't been on here in a week, but just throwing my 2 cents in! LOL

Would ya'll believe, I still haven't been able to get my windshield fixed? It's so important for Ford to have them done, but I can't even get a call back. Been waiting for what, 2 weeks now??

Finally got to take her home. What a ride it has been. So happy for it to end and for new adventures to begin. Basesquatch, though the glare makes it look like I have white lettering on grille.

Now my bronco is at train yard in Tennessee ... Didn't someone here mention their bronco was in Tennessee train yard ?
