Nice. I went antimatter blue, so ill be a little more incognito
From Dearborn Heights, ordered a 4dr Black Diamond in A51 from Bill Brown. Made my reservation within 10min of the web launch and don't have any of the high demand options, so I'm hoping to get one in June.
Are you headed to the Bill Brown thing tomorrow?? I’m reserved for a spot - I live 4 hrs away in Indiana. I heard it’s a great dealer. Any heads up on what they’ll have there?
4DR Rapid Red Outer Banks.

I wasn't aware it was this weekend, just made an appointment. Thank you.
I got to check out a couple of them at them at Michigan Assembly last year, but they weren't final production models.

It’s a very big dealer and been around forever. Bill Brown lives close to me, pretty massive house, so he’s done alright! Enjoy your time with the Bronco! If Masons bar in Livonia (not far from Bill Brown) is open grab a burger, they are awesome!
I was kinda disappointed with the Bronco event. I was surprised by how little the Bronco Reps knew. Saw my salesmen there, he's not even Bill Brown's "Bronco Specialist", and he was far more knowledgable than the traveling Bronco reps.
The rep claimed my Bronco would be delayed due to the Manual Trans. This is the first I've heard. I know the Mansquatch is delayed till 2022, but haven't heard anything about the 7sp itself being a commodity.
Another rep also told me I would automatically be getting the sound deadening headliner on my BD hardtop. This is only true if you manually add it to your order. Ford doesn't automatically add it on the BD and BL because some owners might feel it goes against the washout interior concept.
This is all stuff in the Ford memo's, my salesmen who doesn't even sell Bronco's knew about it. I kinda expected Ford the send Reps that were actually passionate about the Bronco, like they did at the MAP event.

I am pretty sure all of those people are employed by the same marketing company that runs “My Bronco Life” and Bronco Nation. They seem alright, but some definitely know more than others. The team that did ours was still reading and learning details the morning saw them.

Agree 100% that they were not that engaging. I went to one at Blackwell Ford on Wednesday and they gave about a 15 minute demo about taking off a fender flare and a door and did a walk around and told us about many of the features. Answered any questions we had. Today's Bronco team pretty much stood around and asked how did you like it after I got out of the Bronco. Didn't even give a quick rundown of all the options on the Bronco that was on display. The guy from Our Bronco Life was at the Blackwell Ford event and answered as many questions as possible.

Has anyone else heard the 7spds will be delayed? @ProdigyJKU is the first person anywhere that I’ve heard this from.

I wish they made some engineers available that actually knew something. I've been to similar Jeep and Toyota events and they had engineers at both. I talked to Mike Swears for almost an hour at one. These brand reps are just memorizing talking points anyone can find online, or making things up on the spot so they seem like they know what they're talking About. My sister in law is actually a brand manager for Acura. Master's in communications, smart girl, but couldn't care less about the product or any cars in general.
7spd isn't on the deadly 6/7 list as far as I know.Has anyone else heard the 7spds will be delayed? @ProdigyJKU is the first person anywhere that I’ve heard this from.
SE (Carleton) here. I have a couple acres in Montague, are there any trails in there area I should know about? I hope to have mine by July and plan on putting through the paces.
