Thanks for the info. I did notice the pressure was kind of high. I'll check for the blocks this morning.Check your tire pressure, dealer might have accidentally missed dropping it to normal from shipping pressure. They may also have suspension blocks in to limit travel to facilitate being strapped down for transport that the dealer neglected to remove.
I haven't checked the B6G tracker but the Ford tracker updated all along the way. I never got an email telling me it was delivered.Did any of your information on the b6g tracker update after it was built? Mines still showing in production but dealer confirmed it was built June 23.
I haven't really gone off road yet, just some dirt roads. Hoping to get off road next weekend.Congratulations! These daily posts of owners receiving their Broncos are fantastic- hope to understand all the nuisances of the truck. Would like to hear your thoughts on on a d off-road driving with SAS. The truck looks huge next to the explorer. Will it fit in the garage?
I put my reservation in at 4am, June 14th; however, my dealer told me he put me in for their priority order. He said he thought I would be a good brand ambassador. To be clear, Other than my wife getting an explorer from the dealer in January (when I was placing my Bronco order) I had no prior relationship with the dealer. The only thing they asked of me was to take a couple of pictures for their social media pages to which I happily obliged. They didn't even put any badging on it and I took delivery with 7 miles on the odometer.Stoked for you @Cousin Eddie ! I have the same spec, just with MIC. Out of curiosity, when was your reservation?
I wouldn't worry to much about that Jack. As the dealers would say, "they'll do that". We've owned convertibles for years, and those with guide pins have tendency to be off just a bit went putting them up. The Bronco top has so many pivot points I would be surprised if it ever hit the mark. Just the nature of the beast.Some more impressions from driving...
The 2.7 is a beast! I haven't really hammered on it because of the break in period but I did put the pedal down a couple of times. On dry pavement from a dead stop and the traction control light started blinking. Again while rolling about 40mph. the acceleration was impressive. I'm not sure which would win a race (the Bronco with the 2.7 or wife's explorer with the 2.3). But the Bronco absolutely feels like it has a lot more power.
I did run into one issue with the soft top. I had the top all the way down for the entire morning. When I went to put the top back up, it wouldn't seat properly in the front. The two latche assemblies at the windshield have guide pins and the bracket on the windshield has holes for the guide pins. When closing the top, the guide pins were missing the holes by about a 1/4 inch. It seems like the roof shifted forward a bit. I had no problems with it just pushing the top back to its first position, only when I took it all the way down. I post again when I find out what is going on with it.
Also have't been able to get the FordPass app to connect. I called Ford and they said they were having some system issues on their end and were performing an upgrade of the system so I'll try it again today. I'm hoping to checkout the FordPass Performance app once Ford gets things worked out.
I took delivery yesterday of my Badlands, 4 door, soft top, 10sp, 2.7, Sas, Lux, Tow from Coccia Ford in Wilkes Barre, PA!!!
Suspension
Maybe I had the wrong expectations, but the ride was much stiffer than I was expecting. Much stiffer than the Explorer. I can't imaging doing 70 mph on a dirt trail like the videos from KOH without losing your teeth. If anyone has a suggestion to soften the ride, let me know.
I have the MGV. Very comfortable but they are vinyl so you get a little sweatyI'll get some pics this afternoon.Nice looking bronco congrats. Did you get the Marine Grade Vinyl Seats or Leather-Trimmed/Vinyl Seats? How do you like the seats so far? If it's the marine grade vinyl can you takes some pictures of it.

I crawled under it this morning. No suspension blocks. The tire pressure was up to 50psi. I lowered them to the spec on the door, 40psi.check your tire pressures against the placard with the recommended tire pressures for your vehicle.
our local dealers are infamous for setting the pressure to
max marked on the tire instead of the factory recommended pressure.
