First Edition Bronco Thread

It’s confirmed, onyx gets molly

I see on page 33 of the order guide where footnote 3 indicates MOLLE for black but that footnote appears to only be applied to the 2dr line for FE. Am I being too literal in my reading?

I sure hope so.

Looks you are probably good to go then, congrats!

Wonder whey they would include it on 2 dr and not 4 dr?

Didn’t you post yesterday that you just got scheduled for a 6/23 build date? I’m just hoping they have left some space in June and July for FE builds. I’m Keri g hope alive that I get scheduled for early August at the latest…4 weeks for delivery…it might work out for me. Otherwise I’m driving my old truck from Indiana to Montana and back.

Where at in indiana? I’m in Fort Wayne.

I hate the Navy Pier and will downgrade if it truly is mandatory.

If it isn't, here's where my head is at:

1. If that green is a surf green like the picture alludes, that would be killer. If available for FE? Top choice.
2. I think Cactus Gray? But it really depends if we get a decent picture of it. It fluctuates too much. I need to see it with the FE black top, sasquatch, etc.
3. Cyber Orange.

If Navy Pier is mandatory and I'm, for one reason or another, stuck with FE for pricing reasons, I'd do Lightning Blue or Area 51 simply because I need it to match or else I'd lose my fucking mind seeing the clash every day.

If I could build one from scratch? Maxed out Badlands. Everything on it. Carbonized Gray or Shadow Black. Black interior.

...rereading all of this, I realize what a fucking mess my mind is over this First Edition nonsense and I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship, rationalizing every distrustful thing Ford has done to me. But it's all okay. He's a good guy. I don't have Stockholm Syndrome. You just don't understand him like I do...

Man. This thread is full of Stockholm Syndrome victims. And I'm no exception. Resurrecting this thread and reading through it shows how much we've been through and how much more we're willing to take.

Modern Business 101: Appeal to your largest brand champions first. The ones that will pay the most money will hype your brand the most, thus ensuring its growth and value.

Ford did the exact opposite by fucking over First Edition holders the most instead appealing to them. There's <7000 of us. Wouldn't have killed them to sell us what they promised us, let us wait for the black top, or tell us what's coming next year so we can make an educated decision on whether or not to wait until next year. Being cryptic about editions/trims/features/colors for next year is officially bullshit.

Communication is the name of good business anymore.

Rhetorical question: why am I just learning that the FE does not come with the MOLLE grid in the back of the front seats?

actual question:
Was this common knowledge?

Navy pier has no MOLLE, black onyx does. It’s in the order guide.

For real? I hadn't seen that black came with MOLLE. That's awesome if accurate!!

This is all news to me. I had thought FE's all got MOLLE. What's the alternate option? Zippered pouch?

I've got a 2-door, black/onyx interior and wanted MOLLE, so I think I'm good.

The REAL bait-and-switch was us losing washout interior. That still chaps my ass.

You sir, have given me too much hope. I hope at least 16 of those 1000 are headed to Granger…I am in the 16th position of the FE line there. I would love to take delivery of my FE by the end of August since I have a big trip out west planned for early September.

I hope a few more are headed to Granger - I'm 34th in the long FE line.

There's photos online of a black interior 4 door FE with MOLLE panels and I just watched videos on YT with the blue interior on a 4 door and there is no MOLLE.

Here's hoping I make the cut on the next round of allocations

NP is from the Outer Banks, which does not have Molle, just your standard pouch pocket. Black leather is from the Badlands, with white instead of orange stitching, and has Molle.

When specs were initially released the FE page clearly said it had molle panels. Just another example of Ford being incompetent and/or lying.

Noblesville.

I was scheduled on apr 15 for 6/7 week. In mid May that was pushed to 6/21 week. I found out the other day that the build DAY had been locked in for 6/23.

initial scheduling is just the week, and as it gets closer you get scheduled down to a day (dealers can see this but you don’t get an email).

new scheduling weeks have been in august as of recently.

Anyone with a FE get their window sticker yet? I think anyone with a build date 6/14-6/20 should be able to get their window sticker by now.
This week, those with build dates in 6/21-6/27 should start being able to pull them up!

You're talking to a ton of people without a VIN yet, much less a sticker.

You might wanna start running...

So the image of my FE Bronco on the reservation page in my Ford account is no longer there…it’s usually there and it was there this morning...now just blank, no image. I’m going to read entirely too much into this and say that it means I’m about to get scheduled. Hopes are higher than they should be…the disappointment will be devastating.

Edit: adding image

Good luck. Checked my account and the Bronco image is unchanged.
