The day finally came! I reserved my Bronco July 13th 2020 and I took delivery July 13th 2021, exactly 1 year!
Order:
Big Bend
Cactus Gray / Black Onyx cloth interior
2.3L
10AT
Tow package
(No other upgrades on the build)
Had dealer swap to KO2s from the stock tires
There have been a ton of posts on reviews, so I am not going to write a complete write up here but I will give some general thoughts. If you have a specific question or if you want a picture of something... please let me know and I would be happy to accommodate.
My first impressions --- I am 100% totally blown away. I now remember as an adult what it is like for kids on Christmas morning. There was joy on my face for the whole ride home. My wife commented on how many people took a double and triple look as we drove. A lot of people are confused that it looks so different than the Bronco Sport and I had to correct them that this is the real Bronco and they just haven't seen many on the road yet.
I was really price conscious when I made my order... in the last few months looking at everyones orders and reviews I was feeling like I should have gotten more upgrades / nicer trim ETC... but all those concerns have washed away now that I have taken delivery. The interior cloth seats are great and high quality. The 8 inch screen is awesome and impressive especially coming from my 4Runner. The interior dash is a plastic material but TBH I rarely touch that part of a vehicle... and to the look it does not appear cheap (IMO). The soft top is going to be amazing. We drove home with it back in position 1 and the kids loved it and so did I. I was worried it might rain, but felt comfortable with it off realizing it would only take about 60 seconds to pull over and latch it back up. Also the sound system didn't bother me, my wife actually said she think it sounds amazing... this may partly be that my previous car was a 2003 and hers is a 2012 so we are coming from outdated systems.
I was also starting to regret I didn't choose the 2.7L thinking the 2.3L would lack in power. I actually am super happy with the 2.3L! For instance when I driver a 4 cylinder 4Runner it feels so weak and like just putting on the gas to merge into the freeway feels like the engine struggles. I do NOT have the same experience with the Bronco. It is VERY responsive and has some pep to it. I am sure the 2.7L will blow you away even more... but the 2.3L will NOT disappoint you.
All this to say... if you have been on the forums anxiously awaiting your delivery and seeing other deliveries that are more loaded than yours... don't be nervous. As soon as your Bronco arrives you will be so excited/happy with your choices.
Another note, this was the first Bronco my dealership had seen let alone sold... there is a chance it is the first Bronco in Colorado... very cool but also don't expect the sales people to know anything about how to use it. Luckily I had previously watched videos on operating the top. So if you haven't already watched those videos, I would encourage you to rewatch them on your day of delivery.
