One question, 2 comments...
1. How were the wheels damaged? EDIT: What was the damage (since you may not now how it happened)?
2. One more reason for the 2-door I guess. Seriously though, my father-in-law was a production supervisor for GM and this was always one of his pet peeves and something he looked at on new vehicles. Once you notice any misalignment it is difficult to "unsee".
3. Ditto for the hood alignment.
all five of the wheels were scraped around the outer edge of the spokes and in 3 out of 5, the clear coat was scraped off. They think it was due to the tire mounting process being done incorrectly.

Updated on page 1. All issues resolved. Hood was removed from the Bronco, the dent taken out, hood repainted and new Wildtrak graphic attached. Once the hood was reattached they better aligned it with the side panels so that there is less of a gap. The MIC panel has also been replaced and matches the remainder of the top. Pain in the ass to have your new vehicle immediately in the shop but Karl Malone Ford and Carleson Quality Body and Paint were both excellent to work with.

Good luck with resale value now. Brand new vehicle with issues that will appear on car fax.

On the driver side, the hood is flush with the side panel at the hinge/windshield end. On the passenger side, the misalignment continues whole length of the hood. Adjusting the hood bump stops did not work for me.
I don't have a dent in my hood but everything else you are describing sounds the same. Even when you unlatch the hood, the passenger side sits higher than the driver's side near the grille.

The driver's side looks perfect all the way down but the passenger side sits below the fender ever so slightly, all the way down.

My dealer is about 2hrs away but I plan on having it looked at the next time I'm down.

should be able to just adjust the hood bumpstop on that side down some. its right up front unless ford made them non adjustable. that should be a 10sec fix

Same. When the hood dent was repaired, the body shop took off the hood and reinstalled it. They were able to adjust so that the offset was less, but its still not flush. My dealer had three other Broncos delivered at about the same time and all three had the same issue.
