It all started 7/13/20, 4pm AK time when the Ford Bronco reveal video started. I immediately started the reservation process and was successful at 4:05pm (8:05pm Eastern). Then the wait for order banks, finally 2/2/21 my order went in, May I received my vin and build week. July 23rd she was built, then promptly sent to dirt mountain. 10/14/21 the built email, shipped 10/18/21, arrived in Anchorage, AK 11/10/21 and I took delivery today 11/12/21 to my extreme delight!
I'm 32 and been a Ford fan all my life, I work in the vehicle upftting business for work, so I work with all the dealership fleet departments. My saleswoman is the fleet manager and I've know her all my life. It was an awesome experience buying my first brand new vehicle from her.
All that out of the way, the Velocity Blue Bronco, a 2.7, Outerbanks, sasquatch, Lux, MIC, Tow, upfitter switches and rubber floor mats.
I received it with 25 miles on it, the MIC 2.0 is pretty good, few slightly questionable edges but overall pretty good.
Driving my Bronco off the lot was the first time I'd ever driven one. What a hell of an experience! The roads are very winter like, so I couldn't romp on it much but what I could do, the 2.7 was impressive! 75mph on the highway there's some tire noise and slight wind noise. It's not surprising or annoying, with the stereo at 10 it was mostly drownd out and you can easily have a conversation with passengers.
I have snow tires that will be going on next week, but the Goodyears are very surprising! I didn't get the abs to activate once and it's pretty slick out.
I have a few mods that will be going on
315/70R17 Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3's
Rigid 360 spot lights with white backlight
Bronco depo classic satin silver emblems
Redline hood struts
Thinkware F200 dash cam
Photos from delivery today and photos of the first mods.
