Looks fantastic! I think the black MOD top would look great with it (when it comes out in 2023! LOL). One question, how is Sport mode? Is there a noticeable difference between Sport mode and Regular mode?
Tried Sport mode today… OMG! Take off is night and day. The gearing is amazing!

Blessed and thankful to have picked up my Bronco today! # 1 at my dealership in South Florida: Grieco Ford of Delray Beach.

First impressions:

I’ve owned 3 jeeps. From old to new, and I can honestly say when you buy a jeep you want to do a lot of upgrades, and with the Bronco, they are pretty much included or it is an option to order from the get go, and I am completely happy with the build I chose. Ford did their homework, and it is exactly what I hoped for and it exceeded my expectations.

No off road yet, but the on road experience from the short bit of time I’ve driven today: smooth!

The soft top is quiet compared to a jeep soft top for sure. The steering is great. You control it, not react to it, like most vehicles with 35’s. I was worried that the 8 inch screen was not going to be enough, but it does the job, and I think I will be just fine with it. I took the top off, and doors and cruised around this evening, and the radio had enough to hear it without cranking all the way up. The tire sound was noticeable, but not loud or annoying. No mirror whistle that I noticed. I only say that because I’ve read where some have heard a whistle. As far as removing the doors and top… The doors were very easy to maneuver compared to the jeep with lift points they included in the bottom of the doors. The soft top was super easy to put back on my own. I also unbolted the bolts in the back to remove frame and top completely. You definitely need 2 people to lift it off. It’s pretty heavy.

The interior is setup up the way it should be at far as controls and button locations. Everything just feels naturally placed. The MGV seats are comfortable, and feel really nice...Very happy with them. I’m happy I added the floor mats. They look sharp, fit nice, and feel they will do well holding up.

The 2.7 engine feels strong and after the turbo spools up, it just plain goes, but I didn’t push it too much because of the break in period. I really like the 10 speed auto. It shifts well and smooth.

Overall, my first day impression was just that… Flat out impressed and so happy that I stuck it out, and never cancelled. It is definitely worth the wait!!! Zero regrets!!!
I will update this thread as I drive more and especially when I get to use those G.O.A.T modes.

Feel free to ask me any questions. I’ll do my best to answer, and try to provide pics of what you need. As for today though, my head is going to go hit the pillow right now for some much needed sleep since last night I was like a kid at Christmas who couldn’t get to sleep being too excited with anticipation!

I will have it on display in West Palm on the 25th in West Palm if you want to get up close and personal:) There will be a couple Broncos there including an FE.

Looks awesome! I have a similar build! So I'm thinking of switching to the Black Diamond but been hesitant because of the potential heat and constant anticipated back sweat with the darker color vinyl seats. Any real like feedback on these seats so far in the humid Florida heat this summer? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I have been honestly good with these seats so far. You’re in Tampa so you know it’s hot no matter what. 1, the a/c works great so if you are going to work and it’s all sealed up, no issues. 2. If you are out on the weekend and heading to the beach… does it matter? You’re going to sweat anyway. As far as the seats getting hot in the sun? They are much better than leather, or typical vinyl. The marine vinyl is actually really good, and does not hold the heat like you would think. I’m very pleased. Honestly really happy I got the BD.

Thanks so much for this reply! I think you sealed my decision! Obviously with the top off anywhere in Florida no material will be cool! I was able to sit in them and thought they were really comfortable, thank you for your feedback and enjoy that beautiful ride!
