California Delivery! 2021 Bronco Base Model -- Pics, Timeline, Fun/Helpful Info

[BoomerBarnes]

I'm leaning toward a big bend, strictly to get a manufacturer trailer package.

But its really cool to see the base model not looking like a substandard vehicle.

Does the base have access to the ford pass? Remote start is gonna be a biggie for me.

Yes, it does.

Congratulations!! It's good to see some Broncos making their way to California!

Congratulations Bobby, it's a good looking Bronco. The base is like a blank canvass just waiting for the artist. Enjoy

It doesn't need an artist it looks fantastic as it is. Simplicity is beauty and the base is by far the best value.

This is a BASE BRONCO with ZERO upgrades!


Hi guys, first post here on the forum. I have been on this site like 3x a day for the last few months just drooling over your delivery photos and thought it would only be right to post some of my own for you guys to see, since I didn't see very many base models. We plan to on doing upgrades to it a little at a time as more aftermarket parts hit the shelves. And boy this thing is straight beautiful in person, doesn't compare to the pictures on here!

So the wife and I got the call around 1pm yesterday that our bronco had arrived at the dealership!!! We showed up about 2 hours later to drive it and sign the paperwork. One of the salesman at Sunnyvale Ford told us that about 15 minutes before we had arrived, that a man came in demanding to speak to a Manager offering 10k over sticker to sell it to him right then and there...but they aren't allowed to, thank goodness. People be crazy.

Im gonna post pictures below as well as some simple Fun Info that hopefully is helpful to you guys, I know there was a lot of useful things I've read on here the past few months! I'll make it short, sweet, and a little random.

-Timeline of delivery will be pictured below, but it took about 21 days for delivery to California from MAP. (we were first hour reservation holders way back when)
-Dealer told us it was their first Bronco at their dealership, and in the Bay Area. They were just as excited as we were it seemed.
-When we got their they were doing an inspection of the vehicle, preparing it for us and when the pulled it up to the front door ALL EYES WERE ON IT, it was DAMN GOOD LOOKING!
-Get Pre approved for a loan before you go. They offered us 3.9 percent and I pulled out my phone showing them we got approved at Bank of America (which took only 15 mins) for 2.9 and he immediately, without hesitation matched it...Salesman are not looking out for you, ever. So save yourself a few hundred bucks.
-We contacted the dealer about a week before delivery asking them to put in their notes not to have our license plate installed on the front, we plan to wait a bit for something aftermarket with a better placement.
-We initially didn't opt for extended warranty.. Then we got to to room to do signing and the underwriter was trying to sell us on it. I am not a fan of extended warranties and think they're somewhat of a scam. They're hoping to get everyone to buy it, only a handful are gonna have to use it, we could go on for days on the pros and cons but ultimately my wife wanted peace of mind. After denying it a few times, he offered us 10 years and knocked off $500 to buy it. We said what the heck.
-Don't forget about your $100 being knocked off the price with your initial Reservation fee...we did. But they're gonna send us a check.

Enough about the dealership, but hoping this helps a few of you.

-THE BRONCO is a beautiful machine. 2.3 with the turbo is plenty of power.
-Zero upgrades, not a single thing added! (only regret Is not getting the overhead AUX unit) BUT THE WIRING IS THERE!! if you ever wanna add in those switches when it comes out on ford accessory list it should be fairly easy!
-Looks way better in person, yeah the wheels and tires are somewhat underwhelming..but as expected. We plan to throw on 35s with 17inch rims & 2 inch lift.
---8 inch screen is plenty...yeah the 12 is amazing, but 8 inches is more then enough, my wife thinks so as well....pun intended.
-Drove it around town and it'll snatch heads, everyone is looking at it. Mostly just the car enthusiasts in their cars but you'll see many pedestrians completely lock eyes.
-Mirror whistle on the drivers side is a thing. Between the mirror and the plastic casing around it it creates a faint whistling going 40 mph with the window down. Not worried, there will be ways to fix it soon.
-Potholes are no longer an issue, this thing drives over them with ease and you hardly feel it.

ENJOY the pictures, ill try to answer questions you guys have. I know there isn't a ton of base model love out there quite yet. Oh..and the carbonized grey looks INTENSE in the shade!!! && our Mustang finally has a friend to play with

It looks fantastic! Great to see a non-Sasquatch Base. This build is a great option for those of us not into hard core off roading and by far the best value.

The auto is an upgrade...well not to me , but Ford charges extra for it.

The Auto is not an upgrade on the Base 4dr. Just another reason the Base is a great value.

Ohhhh this is outrageous!! How California will get a Bronco first and Texas hasn't recieved not even a demo at dealers?

I'm kidding (not really) but I'm super happy for this couple for getting their Bronco!!

California needs to be the first to get Broncos, it will give them a few months to enjoy them before they are banned!!

@Bobster Congrats, nice looking base! So did you got your rig before the dealer demo unit came in? I’m still waiting to see one in real life, but think mine will be the first I see. Also curious what your reservation date/time was and if you were able to get it earlier with your soft top base config, or if you got a dealer priority build.

Soft top gets anyone priority...

Did you contact Sunyvale Dealership while your Bronco is being built, ? I’m only relying on Ford Email. My status hasn’t change since Early July,.

I contacted them between being "BUILT" and "SHIPPED". The only reason I did call was to let them know not to screw on my front license plate. Looks like yours is still in production mode, although it seems like its been in it awhile. I wish I could help, might wasn't that long in production. Im not sure if they're behind or closed for certain weeks at MAP but looks like you're close to getting a "BUILT" email.
