🛠 12/20/21 Build Week Group

Kinda funny how we all just wanted to buy a truck, but now we know the intricacies of production line and supply chain logistics. Never thought I'd be estimating when a window sticker would be generated.

Sorry to crash the 12/20 party, but I just got the tracker to work and found myself dumped here from 12/13!

Me too! I still haven't gotten an official Ford email stating the change though...

(Mine is a 2022.)

I like the 2-tone interior more than just black. I also wasn't going to be able to get the washout floors with leather/power seats, which is super irritating so that didn't matter. I was going to order a Wildtrak originally but, I am probably one of the only people who doesn't really like the painted door handles. lol. I was on the fence about the gloss black grille but it grew on me and I like it now. Our Explorer ST has Sport mode and I definitely wanted that on the Bronco. Which I do see is an option to be able to add with Forscan now... The sway bar disconnect didn't really matter to me. I'll probably really only take it to the sand dunes anyway.

Thank you! I went back and forth several times as well. It came down to me wanting the all black interior instead of the two tone and since having two dogs, i wanted the washout floors/ interior. Sway bar wasn't a big factor either. There are times i wish i would have gone Wildtrack… and other times im happy w Badlands. Either way i cant flipping wait! Ill just be happy when she shows up. Thanks for responding!

I OCDishly made a chart comparing the differences and went back and forth a million times.

I'm going to have an entire garage full of accessories and no Bronco. I just splurged ordered different wheels and tires today.

Go to rockslideengineering.com for details. They are steps that are tucked away for driving, but when you open your door they automatically drop down to the step position. They are also strong enough to hold the weight of the bronco as a rock slider.

Still holding strong on 12/20 for 4dr OBX soft top, 2.7

To paraphrase one of my favorite movies: "Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the Eruption Green fields with the sun on your face shining through gaps in your MIC, do not be troubled, for you are in Dirt Mountain, and you're already built."
