I totally believe that Ford got pissed about the photos and put a stop to it. The photos were fn rad and a super positive thing in a time where we need some entertainment. Hell, they should have been paying the person that leaked them extra for doing such an awesome job at marketing/pr.

Minor thread derailment warning...

I actually really like the seat choice here but how does Ford not realized how badly those grab handles clash with the aesthetic here? I feel like it will be the same with some of the two door models that have the body panel color come through on the interior. Imagine red body panel, black and brown seats, with blue grab handles...shudder...

The only bright side for you is how simple those will be to swap. Congrats on the truck I think that's going to be a great build.
I totally agree. The blue grab handle is brutal. Lol and will definitely swap.
I’m also wondering what is a good tire size to replace these originals, without modifying suspension. I’m trying to fill the wheel well as much as possible without rubbing or affecting on road driving performance.

I just noticed this in Ford’s sales report PDF for last month... they reported building 99 Broncos at Michigan Assembly Plant.

Thought it was interesting that they include preproduction units in the stats.

These are preproduction vehicles for sure, however, some preproduction vehicles are given valid vin numbers. These will be driven by various employees and then sold to employees or as program vehicles (with enough mileage they qualify as used program cars). This is exactly what Chevy did with the new Corvettes. They built somewhere around 800 cars before production number one. Some had xx in the vin, those slated for dismantle, but later ones had valid vin #'s and are offered to GM (gm) employees first. They put enough miles on them to qualify as used program cars. If they are counted in production, they probably have valid vin#'s

This is true, I somewhat doubt this “99” are those.
Yeah, it's unlikely that the FCTP loaners will be shipped to dealers until after the first full-rate production vehicles come off the line at MAP. Probably June (maybe late May) at the earliest.

That’s what I am expecting. Bronco Sport mannequin units were out a few weeks before we received our first stock units. Assume Bronco may be similar. Still waiting on Mach-E....

This is what happens when you pimp a new vehicle 2 years out, everyone wants them, then take over a year to deliver them. I'll wait, got no other choice

Only 4000 Sports built in January. I wonder if they expected more demand.
I think they have demand. My sister ordered a Sport FE and it still hasn't been built.

Toto waiting along with Us. They wrote a song:

99
I've been waiting so long
Oh 99
Where did I go wrong?
Oh 99
Bronco I love you
99
You keep breaking My heart
Oh 99
How can we be apart
Oh 99
I love you
I never thought it would happen
Wrangler not the same
I don't want to be hurt anymore
Dealer told me it would work out
Top maker to blame
You know I love you
99

First Bronco #001 going to Charity auction.

Then, I'm guessing...

#002 going to Jay Leno. Will be featured on his show.
#003 going to Bill Ford. He got first Ford GT.
#004 going to Joe Biden. Will be parked next to his C2 Corvette.
#005 going to Tom Brady

Who's next?

You guys are really bringing me down with this "orders after 72 hours are SOL" talk. Every day has been so grey and bland and same, I just want something new and exciting happening.
