I love it.. but I am always a little nervous to drive it. LOL. I am worried that someone is going to hit me and I will never get the parts to repair it. I am a defensive driver anyways, but much more alert with the Bronco.@enro - What are your impressions now that you've been driving around the valley for a while?
Being one of the 4 AZ natives, and having traveled a ton over my career, I can say, without a doubt, that we have the worst drivers anywhere. This is especially true during snow bird season!I love it.. but I am always a little nervous to drive it. LOL.

What makes AZ drivers bad are everyone speeds and the constant cutting people off. I can't leave a safe distance from the car if front of me without someone deciding it's big enough for them to turn right in front of me and thinking its ok. And people that brake, then decide to signal 10 feet before they turn. Irritates the f-out of me. Signal first; to let people know your intentions. Well before you turn. Then brake. Yet people just don't get it. And I had a person with no insurance, no license and no registration on hand side swipe me a few weeks ago saying it was my fault when they are the one the crossed into my lane. That is why I'm a big fan of side steps on my vehicles. People will make contact with them before any body damage happens. Same with door dings in parking lots. People's doors will hit my side steps and not my door. And metal side steps win over aluminum doors. And that is why I plan to remove my rock rails and replace them with metal running boards.Being one of the 4 AZ natives, and having traveled a ton over my career, I can say, without a doubt, that we have the worst drivers anywhere.

My wife's BMW has body panels the thickness of tin-foil. Luckily, we've not been in any sort of wreck in the 6 years we've had it. But - buying the free ding removal service has paid for itself several times over. We park out as far as we can in most places, but there's always some hoopti parked right on us when we come out! My Superduty is immune to this due to it's size. I suspect the Bronco won't get too many door dings either.
Once I get to actually drive mine, I'll avoid other cars by spedning as much time off-road as possible!
Not sure why it posted three times but you get the idea LOL. I'm so freaking excited. When I originally placed my reservation I reserved the base.... since then I moved up to the Badlands with high packaging Squatch + 2.7. Couldn't be happier
Can I ask why you are buying from an out-of-state dealer? I went with Sanderson Ford in Glendale. They assured me there will be absolutely zero markups. They Have great reviews from other customers as well.I couldn't remember if I posted on this one yet, so I apologize for the "likes" on so many old posts, but our famous Ashley taught about how that is a good way to keep track of what you read.

Manual
Non-sasquatch, stock steelies
Color TBD since I have always planned on a 2022.
The original 1k off invoice wasn't enough to make me consider it, but the 2k off invoice was what made me call them. It will come to well over 3k UNDER msrp for my build! And once I talked to Albert and Amanda and Jamie (and later Sean), I knew this was going to be a fun experience instead of the usual migraine-inducing car-buying experience.Can I ask why you are buying from an out-of-state dealer?
