It was a Black Diamond, 2.3, MT, soft top, MGV, and what looked to be the mid package. Small screen and regular climate control.
Haha — was that the TFL Defender with the 20-inch wheels and the street tires?I saw one up on Red Cone tea-bagging a Defender on YouTube.
Does that count?
Congrats man, that looks awesome and exactly what I want (still haven't made up my mind of squatch). If it's any consolation the cupholders that they put in the Ranger are almost useless to us so probably not missing out on much; it's still a weird omission since they have them on the leather trim though.So I am one of the lucky ones...didn't try to rush anything, didn't change my order, just decided to relax and let whatever happen, happen. I got mine delivered on July 19th (info and build details below). I apologize to anyone that may be upset, I totally get why you would feel that way. I wish I knew the magic formula of how I got mine, but frankly I just got lucky.

This is vehicle is great! It isn't perfect, but it still great! I haven't had a chance to go offroad yet due to my work schedule, but hoping to get out soon (maybe once this fire smoke clears up a little?). Biggest observations/gripes so far (no particular order):
Dealer Info - Larry H. Miller in Lakewood
- No rear seat cupholder (really Ford?). I am hoping someone makes an aftermarket door cupholder to replace the straps.
- Backseat leg room. I kind of wish the back seat was moved back another inch or two and have less cargo space...but as someone reminded me recently the storage space was designed for storing the doors.
- Gas Mileage. I knew it was going to be bad, so I am not upset at this one. At 250miles, average is 17....probably 50/50 driving city/hwy.
- Minor complaint - the hood alignment. It seems to have a big gap near the windshield and not as much near the grill. I asked the dealer and they showed me their demo unit had the same. I am not even sure why this bothers me other than it is something you can't unsee once you see it.
- Hardtop noisy at Hwy speeds. It isn't terrible, but it is noticeable. The hardtop has the sound deadener....I would be curious to know how much of a difference that makes.
- I really like A51, but still part of me wishes I would have selected Cactus gray. I am sure I would feel the same way about A51 if I would have selected the CG.
- Honestly above average experience....but let's be honest this isn't a Lexus quality experience. Also my first time buying a car in 11 years, so I don't really have any recent experience.
- When I picked my vehicle up someone else was picking up their red FE 4dr hardtop. The red looks great in person!
- As someone else stated this dealer does have a blue BD 4dr demo unit (with a 2.7L I believe). I was also told they have 2dr Badlands 2.3L manual....but didn't see it.
Hope this is useful for folks - let me know if you have specific questions and I will try to answer. I am in central Denver (near Sloan's lake). I would love to offer to meet up for those who want to see it, however my work schedule it a bit crazy....DM me if you are interested and maybe we can make something work out.
Were you at 20th and Market in Denver today? Finally saw my first one there today, and it looked just like yours. Looked awesome - pretty much identical in color to my 4Runner. I committed at least two traffic violations trying to get a better look! (The Bronco was never in jeopardy…)
Picked her up today. Cannot describe how amazing of a buying experience Summit Ford was, highly highly recommend Scott at Summit.
My only Friday drive was to the grocery store, so was not me, but I did get up into the mountains over the weekend...
Hey what were the markup fees and such like at lhm, my bronco just got scheduled for production and its headed there and now with all this adm talk im nervousSo I am one of the lucky ones...didn't try to rush anything, didn't change my order, just decided to relax and let whatever happen, happen.

I paid MSRP, no ADM. They also gave me a $1000 discount because of my x-plan code....even though Ford didn't honor x-plan pricing. All in all, I thought LHM was very fair and I was happy to spend my money in Colorado. I recommend talking to Ryan Hansen.
Thanks Chris weight off my shoulder i hadn't mentioned x plan to the at time but i think i get one through my company probably too late until i get there to sign i would guess
