Awesome and congrats!! I'm right after you on the spreadsheet (#8676) so maybe this means mine will arrive any day now as well. I'm about 6 hours east of you but in a pretty rural area.

Hopefully it is on the same truck heading your way!

Waited 486 days for this thing, only put 100 miles on it, but it was worth it. Can't wait for you all to feel it!

How was your 100 mile experience ??

Ford was kind enough to send me this today. Pumped!

Looks great. we have matching builds.

How was your 100 mile experience ??

* I was worried about the 2.3 being enough for this fat & heavy beast - but I was not disappointed in the speed or acceleration. It's more than adequate. As long as I can smoke a Tacoma, I'll be happy.

* People on the forum had me worried about the interior quality - but it's not bad at all in my opinion. The aesthetic fits what the vehicles intended purpose is for. It's minimalist, and doesn't feel cheap (then again I'm not into luxury vehicles so maybe I have bad standards).

* The manual shifting is smooth as butter, it's even been half a decade since my last manual, but I eased right into it, the throw is nice - placement of shifter is natural feeling and comfortable.

* I have the two door, and I'm in love with the feel of the short wheelbase. Also, the suspension feels absolutely great - I'm hesitant to replace them when I eventually level it with new shocks/struts. Although I will add that the rake isn't as bad as I thought either.

* One thing I don't like...I'm finding that I hate the electronic parking brake. I really wish that I had the manual e-brake lever on my right, it's just what I'm used to. I'll probably get over it - but it's just awkward to me.

The taco comment is hilarious

And I feel you on the electric e brake. My 2018 f150 has it and I just think it’s weird. I rarely use it though but I could see if you had a standard why you would obviously be using that every time you exit the vehicle.
I’ve heard the ride is like butter. Sounds dumb because this is an off road vehicle but I really wanted a comfortable ride and sounds like I won’t be disappointed.

Honestly was a bit worried about the 2.3 but not as much anymore. Im more worried about not getting the modular bumper and the bash plates, since I'm not entirely sure what underbody protection comes with the plastic bumper.

I’ve noticed in almost every pic post there’s another lined up right behind it. Looks like maybe you were the last one for that shift !

That's one of my favorite aspects of it - the ride quality is comfortable as all hell, super smooth, but at the same time it feels capable - like I can just drive off into corn field in a moment's notice . I don't think you will be disappointed at all!

Finally got my Built Email early this morning. Estimated delivery date hasn't moved since the built email. Hopefully I get it sooner than later. Still no factory pic. Congrats to all of you that have received pics (they look beautiful) and to those of you who have your Bronco!

Tracker finally working again shows shipped! No email or picture from Ford

 

[czman2000]

never got my photo , rotation 7598, blend date 11/1. nor any emails from ford that mine was shipped. but the pizza tracker updated yesterday that mine was delivered to the dealer

 

[BigBendGeo]

JTC Pals Portal updated this morning with my dealership info. It had been sitting in pending state with null in the destination fields, so hopefully this means it will be picked up very soon. Status is still pending for now.

Baby steps... literally one. freaking. step. at. a. time.

How long was yours in the "pending" stage? Mine was just added to palsapp yesterday.

 

[IntenseGroundHog]

I know a lot of us took delivery of our rigs without getting the “shipped” email, but has anyone here gotten their rig delivered without any updates or changes to the palsapp tracker?

 

[BenBronco]

I'll try not to lol I got it in cactus gray, high package, sas, tow, soft top.

Two Rivers just emailed me. They said my Bronco has arrived. I'm picking it up Friday morning. Good luck to you!
