Awesome. Got a “built” e-mail while on vacation last Monday, then got a text from my dealer it was there Thursday. Needless to say we headed home a day early from vacation lol. Here are the details.


2021 - 4 door Outerbanks - 2.7 AT - Non-Squatch - w/ Lux - Advanced 4WD w/ rear locker - MiC hardtop

Short and sweet because I will post more later after I dig into it, but I am impressed. I’ve never owned a non-Ford product and I’ve owned/built about 30 Broncos in the last 28 years, but this is different. Very happy that Ford found away to refine the brand, add gobs of technology and make it feel like a Bronco. I was very confident early on but they nailed it and it will get better. A few more notes:

-Leg room is surprising. I’m 6’4” 300+ and I have plenty of room, let me emphasize plenty. Seats are very comfortable and hold.
-Handles and rides better than my wife’s Edge we traded in.
-Unless your a tech/stereo junky the B&O system is great. It’s more than enough sound for us.
-12” monitor is almost too much for me, but it’s pretty cool.
-2.7 has plenty of power. Can’t wait to really see what it can do. I wanted a straight axle and V8 like most, but this setup works very well for 90% of the buyers.
-I am going to level it this weekend using the 1” Zone kit, and I scored a set of new Sasquatch wheels that I will put on 285’s or 295’s (wifeys ride so her choice)

From a diehard lifelong Ford/Bronco owner, I am beyond pleased. I had high expectations and it honestly exceeded them. Will add more pics as we progress and give more updates.

Fire away with any questions.

BIG thanks to the guys at Magic City Ford in Roanoke VA. I have been working with them for a year now, and they have my business from here on out. A+ transaction

Not even close. I live just outside Lynchburg VA. The dealer was shocked too.

We just hit 1200 miles on a cruise across the Blueridge Parkway this weekend. My wife is in love it (finally after a couple of dozen + tries on the old Broncos lol) and that makes me happy.

Its been flawless, no issues at all and averaging right at 20.0 miles per gallon and that will get better.

Still waiting on my Squatch wheels and then we will level and buy a set of Nittos

Do you have the black/brown leather too? If so, that's our exact build! Do the 32" tires look as small in person as they do in pictures? The B&P on ford.com made them look a bit beefier but I think that'll be the first thing we change out

We actually got cloth because we have a guy that was going to do custom leather for us, but I really like this cloth. It’s almost got a denim feel to it.

There are only 2 Broncos in my town, the other is a CG Big Bend and ours looks beefier. 32’s look ok. I’m going to level it and run 285’s for now. I want to wait a while and buy a good coil over lift when everyone is making them. Not crazy about the kits rushed to market.

Any pictures of the interior?
