HERITAGE EDITION Bronco Club

[uncledoodoo]

I've only had mine for a few days. My last manual was a Mustang GT that I sold the end of 2020. I was REALLY rusty, but it came back pretty quickly. Coming from an Explorer ST (400HP) it felt terribly underpowered at first. After getting used to it, it's no rocket, but it's fine, just needs some revs. I'm loving the manual!

1 thing I noticed is the downshift into 1st can be a bit difficult. A quick stop in neutral on the way makes it much smoother.

I thought I'd love a manual, then I test drove one and the combo with the 4cyl was just a dog compared to the v6 in my opinion. I understand the appeal though, manuals are fun as long as you're not stuck in traffic with a bad knee

Mine has been "produced" since 7/10 and is scheduled to be delivered between two days ago and Friday (no chance that happens). Its location is still Dearborn plant. I hope you have better luck than me!

Hail damage???

I went ahead and ordered the Ford Performance version when I received a code from somewhere. It matches the bucking bronco on the back perfectly. I screen grabbed someone else's assembly line "baby picture" which happens before the stripe is added, and I am pretty sure this is how I am going to set mine up. No offense to others, but I just can't get on board with the stripe...

I am planning a couple of other exterior changes to personalize it, like replacing the blue oval on the back with a Cactus Green/Oxford white painted emblem, and painting the edge of the grille body color (like JRBinMalibuCanyon did on his Heritage tribute See link. Still debating changing to body color door handles as well.

It will be fun seeing all of the personal expressions on Heritage Editions as more get delivered over the next couple of months.

I really enjoy looking at older Bronco pics and I don't feel too bad about removing the stripe while still maintaining the legacy look. While there are tons of examples showing the original chrome trim, I dig the examples with the simple script only:

Simplicity definitely has it's place but after looking at Heritage pics for almost a year it looks odd without something there. I like the special decor stripe and the body crease spear allot and I'm sure some will go that route or pull it altogether for that clean uncluttered look too.

What's been funny is that after looking at the factory HE pics for so long the painted band on the grilles that I liked so much at the beginning are looking odd as well to me now.

I'm really unsure at this moment what to do until I get a chance to see it myself with my own eyes in my driveway but I did buy a 3M vinyl sample guide a couple of months ago so I can see what colors might match up with the AGM.

Anyrate, looking forward to seeing how everyone puts their own spin on these to make them their own!

Mine was “produced” on the 12th and still in production. I had an eta of 8/2 but now the chat changed the wording of their response to, it’ll be done with production by the 2cd

The front door pizza tracker still says in production, but I have the modules and tear tag... so I contacted ford. My blend date was the 21st.

This is what I got from the chat. maybe I shouldn't get too excited???

They told me about the same thing. Let’s just say I’m skeptical

Hail damage???

I was in that status before the hail incident. But why not, add hail damage to go along with the missing parts!

I’ll have to check what wording they use next time I chat.

I'm with you in that camp!

I'm with you in that camp!

Nothing against the nice woman I spoke to. Very pleasant and was trying to be helpful. Was insisting to provide private offer certificate even though Granger already has it. I just don’t believe the date. I was told August 10-16 eta at Granger.

Should I believe the VinView Date?

My dealer showed(guess it was vin view) me a month ago an eta of 7/31. As of ford chat last night, that date was holding true. I’m going convoy as well. But to the middle of no where. Of course we know how things can change

Yeah, how does it take that long. There's something going on. The blend date on my sticker was 7/10 but my Bronco tracker still says in production. The due date at my dealer was originally 7/29 but now it's still in Michigan.

I have the same ws, blend, and module dates as you. But mine has to hitch a ride on a rail car.
