First Edition Bronco Thread

[BuckinT29]

I believe that it sold out around 7:15-7:20 PST. I reserved a 2 door at that time and when back to reserve a 4 door and the reservation was closed. I likely got one of the very last FE reservations.

Same here, I think I was in that timeframe as well, snagged a 4dr and went back for a 2dr and it was Full.

I have to agree with them. Limited colors as far as we know and a less than desirable interior. But it comes with some cool FE stickers.

Navy Pier can not be the only interior option! I only post in case this is true and someone at Ford can take note from their many customers here.

I‘ve followed every aspect of the Bronco rebirth for years, read every article, every render, every guess and have been on this site thousands of times in the last 5 years (and this site has been by far the best source of info and community), and have never felt the need to post until now.

I’ve planned for years to sign on immediately when released and was lucky enough to get a First Edition reservation within the first couple of minutes last week. The end product seems close to perfect, they seem to have a model and options for just about anyone, colors are great, etc. It does seem odd they would show a white top if not available, interiors that are not going to be produced, limit FE exterior colors without something unique, price seems slightly high, etc. but certainly not dealbreakers.

And then there is this rumor of only Navy Pier interior! That would be inexcusable! No where in the reservation system, product info, etc. was it ever mentioned and no one would ever guess a polarizing blue leather interior. It is bizarre. No one could think that would be what the public wanted and our poll is clearly starting to show that. If it’s going to be limited, make it black, brown, grey, tan, different color accents, body color matching on the inside, etc. No way they could put so much thought into every detail and then just give us blue leather. I still wouldn’t believe it possible, but it seems to be the case with the bronco sport and I believe the 2018 F150 Limited (and they are endless complaints about it online). Let’s make it clear we need another option!

I am kind of partial to a rugged, rustic, outdoor look. If they wanted to make it cool, treated saddle leather in a distressed look on the headrests and bolsters with a coordinating seat and back (black is easy) would do it for me. Saw pictures that were VERY close to this. Add in some stitching and accents that coordinate with one of the limited colors for the exterior, and SOLD!

I am getting the feeling that FIrst Editions will be FIRST, thus the limited choices. You get what they want to give you because we are the guinea pigs. That said, they should make it as cool as possible so everyone sees ours and says "WHERE CAN I GET THAT!!" That said, I now have a second reservation (are you listening FORD???) just in case I don't like what they think is cool instead of listening to us!

As I mentioned earlier- I’ll be surprised if Ford thought of everything else except interior FE options that make sense.

My guess is it’ll have two special interiors

Brown/ebony
White/Grey

And all standard trims are optional

I also have a gut feeling the white top is a special add on for the FE

Their CEO isn’t going to spill the beans on the Brown/ebony combo.

Based off this thread Ebony/brown is a hit.

I’m sure there is a Ford rep Watching this forum like a hawk and giving feedback to their design teams and execs.

I was within that time also. Wow. When did you get your official Ford confirmation email? Mine didn't come until Wednesday morning yet my backup Badlands came a full day earlier

@laj.tuxmek Please comfort our worrying about the crappy First edition interior.

Hopefully they are hawking this thread. But you have to wonder if the Navy pier FE seats are already under production, which might be to late to change. I feel are blue seat fate is already under way after seeing the Bronco Sport builder with exact 4 exterior colors we're getting.

Seat production wouldn’t start 8-9 months in advance.

I have a feeling the blue leather is leftover from the F150 limited so they're trying to use it all up lol.

If material has already been ordered it might be hard to change direction. But I hope your right.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me..

It's 0.4% off invoice not 4%.

Wait, then how does that benefit anyone?

$61,278 * .4% = $245.12 But the x-plan fee is $275 -- it will cost you $30 to use X-plan?!

Someone check my math!

It's technically a benefit instead of having to pay sticker price. But yeah, the Granger deal ($1K below invoice) seems to be the best deal around the country right now.

I hope the dealer I reserved through will match Granger, because alot of people are saying First edition reservers can't change dealerships.

Haha sorry man I wish I could! Unfortunately I don't know what kind of interior the First Edition will have. You'll have to wait until the Build and Price tool comes out next month.

TGIRW (Thank God I Reserved Wildtrak) just in case my reserved FE only offers Navy Pier. Lol
