In comparison to the first pic, this thing looks huge. Glad I’m going with the 2dr. Do you guys think this Bronco will become douchebag vehicle like the GMC knock off Hummers did 10 years ago?

I had solidified my color to cactus grey but was torn between carbonized grey as well. My decision is starting to melt after seeing these photos....Congrats. It looks so good!

Agree 100%. I'm Cactus Gray Black Diamond.....7/14 res, but I'm sure I'll be a '22. I'm really really teetering changing it....was looking so hard at Antimatter Blue, but man, the O.P.'s photos make that Gray look sweet.....but I guess if I'm '22 I'm gonna have at least one green to look at.

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 wish I could get the blue accents of the Black Diamond in a Badlands. That orange is just cringe for me. I know others love it, but blues and greens are my colors. Beautiful truck, congrats!

Maybe at first... More like the mall crawler Jeeps, then there's the folks that take their truck serious haha.

There may be someone out there willing to trade. I believe I read that the person reviewing his new orange arrival would like the orange instead of blue. Easy to remove handles by unscrewing two screws.

Congratulations! Bronco looks awesome!

I also ordered through Grieco (Ft Laud location) but no idea what number am in their allocation queue. Early reservation but aren’t we all. Interested to know how everything was dealing with Grieco? Thanks!

 

[Bronconius]

Gorgeous Bronco! Got a name for it yet? I got the same build but didn’t go Sasquatch but I’ll modify as I go. Great to see it and really happy for you!

 

[6G_Bronco]

Congratulations!

 

[Golfmom]

Thanks for sharing! I ordered the exact same but in white (thought it might boost my chances of a white top and then I’d wrap the body). Gray is gorgeous, classic, masculine. Love it!

Very nice! That's the one I wanted when I first started a build on the website. Very Nice!
