Dealer dropped my Mach-E GT off lift, bought a Bronco

[CeeCeeBronco]

Long story short, had the dreaded battery fault while driving the Mach-E. Towed to dealer, day later it was dropped off the lift. This is about 6 weeks ago.

Ford put a stop sale on all new Mach-E's. They are very hard to find, harder than Bronco's. I LOOOOVED my GT. Put 10.5's on the back, new rims and tires. It was fast AF. Huge screen, frunk. Really liked it. Unfortunately it was dropped off the lift.

Dealership or I could find a GT anywhere near us. Couldn't buy a new one. So started looking at Bronco's.

Wanted a Wildtrak with Sasquatch, impossible to find. After a few weeks, dealer found an Outer banks with Sasquatch. Got it for MSRP, you know since they dropped my car.

I wanted a 2 door Sasquatch. Has the lockers, V6 and switches. Leather seats, but not the 12" screen or 360 camera.

Few pics of Candy Gurl in all her glory, and now Blue Crush. Added rear spoiler and mud flaps since pics.

Happy about my Bronco, still sad about my Mach-E GT. The recall his a huge issue though.

Sorry if you know this by now, but all Wildtraks are Sasquatch. Can't be otherwise.

Hopefully nobody was hurt when it fell off the lift. That's really dangerous.

Depending on the lift they’re using, the Mach-E can be very tricky to lift correctly in order to remove the battery. There’s very little room for certain lift arms. Just by looking at these pictures I can tell it was lifted completely wrong. Those rubber pads on the lift arms should definitely not be used.

It just looks like complacency to me.

Wow, that sucks, welcome!!

Wow, that stinks. A least you got in a Bronco.

I like those Woodies you are sporting, what brand are they?
I still remember the Ray-Ban Woodies from the 80s.

Thanks, actually they're Bannan Republic. Fold up too for easy storage.

I didn't realize all Wildtrak were Sasquatch, thanks. Nobody was hurt, which was the most important thing.

Owner stopped by when signing yesterday, he said there were rubber chalks used for the EV, that weren't used. Battery was out when it happened.

Thanks everyone! We're excited, now going back and forth with wife about who has better 4x4... haha. She's got a pretty nice Defender.

I was gonna say, now that I know it's your wife's, put them head to head on an off road challenge. YouTube it and we'll all probably watch it!!!

Welcome to the zoo.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but maybe you’ll enjoy getting out into nature a little more so than just zipping around in town.

I just wanted to say thank you for not calling it a Mustang.

Wait, so your answer to replace a sporty electric vehicle was to buy a gas guzzling bronco? I mean I'm glad you're happy but that makes no sense.

Sucks, but glad the dealer made it easy with no red tape or political games.
Nice looking WT. I hope it brings you adventure and many years of happiness.

Also kudos for the witty screenname. It's perfect.

Got contacted by Ford corporate two days ago, offering me a free Ford Protect Premium Care, $1855 value. I feel that Ford made things right in the end.

The dealership offered to sell it to me, I declined. Bought it last Saturday, but left on a work trip the next day. Got back today. Wife put over 300 miles on it while gone.

Don't plan on adding too much, but will personalize over time.

Here is her Defender and my Bronco. Then in the garage, MUCH more room with mine than hers in there. Hers hits the top of garage door when lifted all the way up.
