Congrats @BroncoJay cactus 🌵 grey looks awesome with the wheels. I 2nd everything you’re saying with regards to the soft top noise and all around happiness with it. I’m also with you on looking forward to seeing all of our 6G brothers and sisters getting theirs. I’m parked on a main road in Ocean City New Jersey and have had 20+ people stop and look, chat, share stories of their old family Broncos this weekend …..totally cool (Except for the one Jeep Dbag who stopped to tell me how much he hated it 🤫). I’ve related to some of your past posts and I’m super happy for ya! Happy wheelin!

We’re hijacking dude’s thread. I didn’t mean to. Girlfriend made fun of me for cargo shorts a few years back. Made me realize I’m not a teenager anymore. I’ll have to show her by ordering a Fanny pack.

I’m going to have to order a bronco emblem like bronco jay put on before mine gets here (Looks sharp. I ordered cactus gray myself) so I can afford it without cringing once the payments hit. Teacher salary doesn’t go far these days.
Amen on the teacher's salary comment! My daughter is a school teacher for Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and she babysits on her time off to make extra money! As for the emblem, I wish I would have known (thought of) of the Bronco emblem shown above, I would have asked to delete the Bronco sticker!

Congrats @BroncoJay ! Where in IA are you? I am in DSM and have my 7/14 reservation with Granger but am holding tight for a 2 door Basesquatch. To reiterate what Jason said, everyone at Granger is awesome.

AWESOME! I'm in agreement that the 33s are just right. Love seeing these Granger delivery posts. Can't wait for my turn!

And, regarding the headrests… I've seen a few pictures here and there with the driver/passenger headrests at different angles. Do they not ratchet front to back like other Fords?

I realize there have been a ton a reviews and deliveries now on the forum but I’ve always enjoyed them so I will add to it. As always please take my opinions with a grain of salt…

Reservation 7/17
Ordered 2/20
Build date 8/2
Delivery 8/31

I originally ordered a 2 door WT but changed in May to a 4 door BL with soft top due to contraints.
Badlands 4 door
Cactus gray
2.7
Soft top
High pack
Optional wheels

All I can say to my fellow bronco brethren still waiting for a VIN hang in there, the wait is worth it. Overall I am super impressed with the bronco, Ford has knocked the design and features of this bad boy out of the park. The delays I get have been beyond frustrating but they have all been washed away the past two days. Initial impression after seeing sitting on the showroom floor was wow. I worried about not getting squatch but was really impressed with the stance and looks of the BL on 33s, the optional wheels are beautiful. I was really tempted before delivery upgrading the wheels and putting a bigger set of tires on but 2 days later I’m pretty content with what I have, maybe down the road but not anytime soon. The inside cabin feel to me, meets the ulitarian feel I was hoping for, coming from the Toyota family I think it beats the quality of Toyota. The knobs, the dash feel good, is it a luxury SUV- nope but we all know that going in. I love the feel and textureof the MGV. The soft top seems well made and super easy flipping it down, giving that beautiful open air feel we all crave., initial drive impressions is spectacular. It’s super solid. Floats down the road, the inside noise is what you would expect from a soft top. Overall I’m super happy and super impressed with the bronco. I’m in love and will hopefully be in my stable for years to come..

A few observations that have been touched upon that could use tweaked in future years is the radio, little “tingy” not bad but For sure not great, the head rests need to have more adjustable positions other than up and down, they seem to tilt forward making it a little annoying on longer trips.

The bronco is outstanding and keep the faith ladies and gents it’s well worth it.

A side note to all my fellow Granger customers, all I can say is that they are everything we read about here- honest and integrity.. 100 years of a family owned business with that hometown Iowa friendly feel. Love ‘um.

@Zach@Granger keep up the awesome work…

I grew up in a ‘73 chasing down the deer and roosters on my grandparents farm, gravel roads and Bob Seger make me always think of my Pops and his ‘73.

Looks great man. Cactus is my other favorite color. Looks diff in different light and just enough back to contrast. Enjoy!
