What is the first trip everyone is going to take their Bronco on when they get it?

I am planning on spending an overnight in Big Bend along the River Road. Then in early March my family and I are doing a week long road trip to and around Utah.

I am trying to decide whether to take it to FLA (from NY) for Presidents weekend (assuming I get it at the end of Jan - I know not to get my hopes up). Any thoughts on whether that is too soon and too long of trip? Break in issues, or risk of valve or other mechanical issues?

Does anyone drive a 4Runner? that was what I was originally looking at before I went down this Bronco rabbit hole. I know it's got a super old transmission but beyond that - anyone have thoughts?

I'd probably get new shocks, lift it and put 33s or 35s on it...

I just got a Tacoma and am very happy with it. I expect that the 4Runner is just as awesome. However, you can't remove the top and that is the main reason I am getting the Bronco.

Got my mitts on this so I could try to make an educated guess where my beast would be off-loaded from the train. Not sure if it might help some folks!

Does everyone get a pic in the assembly line eventually?

Not everyone. I got this.

yeah, i'm alright with that. It opens up the possibility of a roof top tent, if I want to go that route.

Why haven’t any of the local conveys been delivered? I would consider myself local (2.5 hours), awaiting shipment since 12/28. I understand driver shortage but this is ridiculous!

4runners last 4ever. My husband's has over 350k miles on it. I pray it dies.. but it just.keeps.going. He also has a Toyota truck with almost as many miles.. but couldn't tell you what it is ... t100?

Fun fact, my actual therapist told me to focus on happy things to keep my brain from spiraling out because yknow, *gestures around at everything*, happy things like getting my Bronco

Then I gave her a run down of what we've all been dealing with and the look she gave me was priceless

If my delivery date pushes out past the 21st I will likely back out and keep my Sahara. Real bad look on Ford right now to me.

I was thinking the same thing, one more push and I’m out. Probably not but , I’m getting tired of it.

From my dealer today:

"Awesome, OK, check this out, my coworker said to call the rail,
so I googled, got a Bronco blog, and they spelled out how to track the railcar!

Your Bronco is on CSX

Call the number below, say location, say TTGX for car initials, say your car number -- it arrived in Kansas today!"

How sweet is he?! He then referenced our tracker blog with how to track it! Super cool guy to work with at AutoNation Ford of Bellevue.

I’m kinda kicking myself I didn’t go with them. I ended up at the dealer a little “east” of there (not naming them). Their communication has been sporadic and when I do call, it seems like they’re always bothered by it.

Not everyone. I got this.

The dreaded “sorry our camera was broke” email

I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't even know about dealer allocations, etc when I placed mine but now that I do I'm really glad I went there. I think they're one of the largest dealers on this side. And yes, I'm very lucky that my guy is so nice to me, though I do try to be as sporadic with my requests (and generous with my thanks) as possible. It's been a good experience with them!

Hang in there fellow 12/6 brothers and sisters. Your wait will be well worth it when your new colt or filly shows up and you get to take it for that first spin. I picked mine up today and its finally home. 549 days of waiting was certainly a roller coaster of a ride. I’m no longer waiting despite what my profile name says. (Created that in frustration) I wish you all the very best and hope those of you “still waiting” take delivery soon. I for one will hang around to cheer you all on when them new Broncos start showing up.

P.S. - in regards to naming my Bronco, of course I did. “Bucky” (popular name I’m sure…)

The tracker is down for me and my EDD moved two days today. Could this be a sign from the transport gods that the crown has breached and we are approaching delivery?????????????
