You have to fold them forward to remove the doors, it's one of the steps.

I got that all wrong - I meant to say they clearly fold backwards. Someone had a concern due to the width of his garage.

Clearly I can’t work and type on this forum at the same time…

Ross- you have been a great source of information for all of us. I wish you the best of luck with your new Bronco.

You are probably the only person on here that no one will complain about having an early delivery!!

Not sure who would have an answer for this, but is there a specific schedule for shipments leaving the factory via rail? I would imagine convoy shipments are a smaller undertaking for shorter distances, and that makes them inherently easier to schedule. But I'd imagine rail shipments have a strict schedule e.g. mid-week, end-of-week, every two weeks etc.? For e.g. if a vehicle is built on a Monday, would it still have to wait until Friday that week or potentially the week after before it leaves?

Crappy driveway pics but here she is!


Early impressions:

- Has that bank vault feel like a F-150. Solid and substantial.

- Rides REALLY nice. Shook it around a bit out in the woods just to see what she can do. Incredibly surefooted. Much more confident feeling than other off roaders I've been in.


- I know it's a learning transmission but it hunts for gears quite a bit. I'm assuming that will calm down soon as we get used to eachother.


- Hate the auto start/stop. I've just been turning it off at startup, the button is easy.


- The interior is solid and super comfortable.


- Don't be in a hurry to get out of a parking lot with it! Lots of questions and pictures.


Overall? This thing is a damn home run. The engineers, designers, and awesome crew at MAP absolutely nailed it.

She's beautiful! I was telling my Husband about the "don't expect to get out of parking lots quickly" Thing that all the early delivery owners are going through. Might be kinda fun?

Congrats, Ross. Rafa showed me pics a few minutes ago.
