Did you pay for it full before it arrived?
I paid for it before I arrived, yes.

Understanding that you don't have a need for it, but also have some charities in mind, I would auction it. Knowing that you are a Granger buyer and an original reservation holder means that Ford gave you no choice but to buy the Bronco with all the promotions/private offers. Even if you end up selling it at sticker, you will easily cover your costs and provide funds for the charities.

Let it go to another buyer and benefit those charities without costing yourself a dime.

I have looked into this option. They quotes I have for a 3rd party to handle the legal end and picking the winner - the only way to go on something of this value - more than covers the difference between todays msrp and price paid.

Not saying that’s a deal breaker, just putting that into the equation.
also in most jurisdictions a “raffle” is not legal. One would need to give it away via selling hats, t-shirts, stickers, etc. so you have to buy and ship all the merch, absorb all the credit card fees and put a ton of time into it. Break even is something like 160% of the new value of the bronco without accounting for time spent.

For that kind of money I’m probably building at ultra4 car

Assuming they can do it to a 2dr, take it to APG for their ProRunner package

I wouldn't even consider a raffle. List in on BaT or eBay Motors. Clear upfront description. With eBay, you can set a charity and percent of the sale. Or if you don't want make anything, then you know your break even price and start it at that level and let the market determine the value. You can state clearly that any amount over your starting bid will go to charity.

I was a Grange-tober order holder, also. My sticker was $50,500. I paid $37,900. Even after taxes and tags, I'm well under the current market value. I can sell it for sticker tomorrow and the buyer would be happy at buying a Bronco with no markup and no wait.

Keep it, drive it when you want for fun. That's what I do with my 2022 Basesquatch. I daily drive a GTI and save the Bronco for weekends. The GTI was meant to save me gas but even driving it light footed in gets only 5 more MPG than the Bronco. Love the Bronco, one of my favorite vehicles of all time.

I’ve had the thought - as one of the poll options - to raffle it off/diesel bros style give away in which case I’d donate $$ to a couple Of my favorite charities. Jessie combs foundation as I’m getting into ultra4, humane society and some veterans charities.

That dogs favorite front seat is a Nissan leaf - which he’s waaaaay too big for.
Clearly 😆 that would be like fitting him in my camaro. If my dog gets to be 70lbs the front seat won't be a very viable option

I’ve had an old, early reservation and order for a 2 door sitting out there at granger for a long time. Wasn’t really expecting to see it come on and then ford decided to dump a bunch of orders on them, so now I have it. 2-door, badlands, sas. 3 years ago I had a lot of thoughts, ideas and plans for what would be but now everything is different.

At this pointy off roading is now, generally, beyond what I’d use a brand new vehicle for. It’s likely to get body damage and the fragility of the bronco IFS and steering rack is generally not something I’m interested in worrying about. I just don’t do much rec wheeling that you can use a shiny weekend warrior.

I think the only way I put the requisite money into the steering would be if I built an ultra4 racer out of it.

I don’t really need a daily, I have a super duty and a little fuel economy car.

so what do I do with it?

Make it a Turo rental.

This .^^^

I used Turo before i got my bronco, and rented a 2 door bronco. paid $400 and some change for like 400 miles over 2 days. it was a ton of fun and totally worth it.

You can make $$ renting that, especially being the 2D, and summer is here.

I replied to that guy and he never responded. Does that work if I’m not close to a major airport?

I don't think it matters. i wasnt near the airport when i picked up my rental. Everything was done through the app, i showed up, the people there showed me the car, i drove off. when i returned it, i dropped the keys in a box and left.
