Not exactly the kind of thing you want to win at, but I am so happy for the wait to be over. It is so much fun to drive!

The eagle has landed!
For those wondering about PP, my dealer honored all of those (just under $5k) AND my rebate certificate ($2595) so I actually paid LESS than my original order. Can’t say enough about Pearson Ford in Indiana…this is my 5th car from them and they treat me like a queen

Congrats! We hope you love it

Finally picked her up tonight. First ordered 12/14/21. Thanks to everyone on here for all of the useful info along the way.

Welcome to the Bronco family! The bow is a nice touch

It looks great, LOVE the color!

If I ever get the money. Hahaha. I feel broke now after this purchase (not really). I have money set aside for other projects at the moment.

They added it on mine yesterday. Just waiting to get it out of the paint shop. Not sure how much I should test it out right now. I only have like 200 miles on the Bronco. Hopefully I can get it tomorrow and post some pics for you guys. Been depressing having to wait again because of damage after already waiting so long. I am super excited though. I entered the show and shine at the Bronco Stampede next weekend in Pigeon Forge. I am going to add a Fast Intentions exhaust and some cold intake yet to be chosen too. Been waiting for this a long time now!

Yesss, esp sluggish launching in Normal GOAT mode. I’ve got the ProCal 4 and a pair of ARB recovery boards in my cart on the Lethal Performance website right now. (The boards appear to be $55 less there than most other places.)

I’ve also got a local dealer at the ready to install the tune for $100 (to satisfy warranty requirements). He said I don’t even need an appt. There are two techs that can get it done on the spot.

I just need to see if there are any discount codes for forum members and then pull the trigger. EDIT: BRONCO6G code knocked off $40.

Picked mine up yesterday from the dealer fixing problems. Unfortunately they did a crap job repainting the hood. Just skipped repainting my fender and fender flare. The top has blue paint splatters and has been sanded in multiple places. Every panel is deeply scratched. Weird. They say it will be replaced under warranty. I am taking it back Monday. For now I washed her. And then just used a detail spray wax since they have to repaint most of the front. Heading to Pigeon Forge tomorrow morning for the weekend. Entered the show and shine at the Bronco Stampede. Never been to the Smokies. Gonna forget all the paint and topr drama and try to enjoy the weekend.

I'll post a pic from the show hopefully

That cooler full of the right beverages will help.

LOL... It would! They're just Cokes and sodas from Mexico. I don't know if I can bring drinks in the car show? I really would wonder about alcohol. I am certainly ubering to town every night for dinner and drinks. I heard they place is full of bars and super fun. Going to test the new tune out on some tail of the dragon road course too. I guess after the hour or so drive there's a gift shop. Cooler needs some stickers, and beer!

I made it to the Bronco stampede. Wiping off bugs in the hotel parking lot! Saw a lot of Broncos on the way down. The convention center looks huge!

Got Parking brake fault service now messages twice at dinner! Hopefully it will make it home!

Crazy coincidence - you mentioned the parking brake fault. Well I was installing front mud guards on mine last night after I saw your post. Had the steering cranked fully in each direction to make the install easier. Started mine up to return wheels to the straight position and got the parking brake fault. I was parked in my garage, no parking brake on. It disappeared pretty quick but now I’ve got to decide if I need to get it in for service.
