Driving 35K a year and choosing a Bronco for that task? That’s a bold decision! It’s comfortable enough for it of course and the height is nice too. Fuel cost and noise hurt a bit obviously. You might wind up with the highest mileage Bronco and should get some official award and discount on your next one.
23.5 MPG on the highway isn't bad.
Nope, they only showed the 5 door as a heritage limited in the press release, but the text inside the release says it's available on both the 3 and 5 doors (2 and 4 passenger egress doors plus the swing gate), so it's going to be available on both body styles of the Bronco plus the Bronco Sport.Howdy, I haven’t read all the threads. But just to confirm the Limited only comes in 4 door? I’ve got a short attention span.
Very impressive - premium octane? It all comes down to $$ / gallon at the end of the day. It's definitely not bad - especially for this kind of heavy brick shaped vehicle, but it's also not good.23.5 MPG on the highway isn't bad.
Wind noise, after working with the hardtop is acceptable, exhaust noise at 80 MPH, totally liveable.
Regular gas with whatever ethanol might have been in it. I suspect that no ethanol gas does result in increased mpg.
I’m praying so hard for leadfoot gray. Waiting patiently for any news on it. The bronco pic that surfaced with leadfoot gray is giving me hope.Nothing “official”, but very solid evidence that Cyber Orange and Area 51 are gone, replaced by Antimatter Blue (redux) and Azure Gray Metallic on standard Broncos. Anything else is for special editions only (Yellowstone, Robin’s Egg Blue, Peak Blue, Code Orange, Desert Sand…)
I’m not aware of any announcements about Leadfoot Gray, even though we saw a pic of one with Heritage-style equipment, so…
The Heritage (Big Bend Edition) with the 7sp Manual will be in the $45K ballpark. The Heritage Limited will start at $68K.
Can you please tell me how you 99’d your order? I spoke to my dealer yesterday and they insisted that they couldn’t go higher than a priority code 19. Would greatly appreciate any help as I want to do the same (priority code 99) so I can switch to a 23 Heritage Limited
Maybe he's misunderstanding what a 99 is? It's a LOWER priority, not higher. Sounds like he thinks you want to get a higher priority. Sometimes you have to talk real slow to these guys.
It depends on if Ford will allow them to change the priority code once the order is entered beyond the standard range of 10-19 or if they have to contact their zone rep to get it changed, and in that case they may be too lazy to get in contact with the zone rep
Just so your expectations are grounded in reality, Ford is only building 1966 Heritage Limited's. There are over 3000 Ford dealers in the US. There will be no "switching" to a Limited, it will most likely be a lottery system followed by high bidder.
It's 1966, but they didn't say if it's 1966 2 + 4 doors together or 1966 each of the 2 door and 4 door, but it does say "Ford will build just 1,966 units of each Heritage Limited Edition model to commemorate the year the original Bronco debuted."
