Hey there B6G!

Ford Bronco New from STL 35AAB8AF-A9F1-4281-B885-E58F40348DCA


I picked up my 4DR black Wildtrak (mid-package) last week after sniping it from a dealer lot. Long story short, I had put in a reservation that went 6 months without any dealer communication, that I canceled because I moved a few states over, then I put in another reservation that went 7 months with nothing from the new dealership before I canceled due to their poor service and troubling news that they would be sending out more ā€œbasicā€ broncos and allowing upgrades down the road.

I took my lumps and settled on getting a Tacoma, but hated it once I test drove it. I got my deposit back then started driving past a ford lot where I saw this beauty sitting up on a ramp. Thought itwould be crazy if it was for sale (Iā€™ve only ever saw accounted for lot models) but stopped by to see if it was for sale.

Sure enough it was and I was able to talk down the price A bit with the dealer but I did wind up paying some ADM. Yeah yeah Iā€™ll take my boos here :) But considering the 2+ years I had been waiting for one and the amount of hassle Iā€™ve seen others deal with, it was worth it to me (plus 6k knocked off sealed it for me).

Wifey and I love it and weā€™ve taken it with roof down the highway to a few wineries already. I canā€™t stress how awesome the Sasquatch package is and I love my hard top. I donā€™t think the pictures do it justice. The Bronco has some muscle šŸ’Ŗ and I get looks all the time on the road!

Iā€™d love to hear if there are any other Bronco owners in the St. Louis/southern Illinois area that hold meet ups :)

Nice! Iā€™m from the Edwardsville area and Iā€™ve seen an Area 51 4DR squatch and a 2dr silver squatch (I think badlands or big bend).

The high beams are great for some of the dark country roads out here.

Im a 2 door squelch, I haven't met anyone similar. Ill have to keep an eye out for that one! You planning on upgrading anything immediately? I had a long list of stuff, then it go there and I was so in love, I thought why even bother!

I like the look of your 2dr! I do like the extra room of the 4dr though especially if we take the in laws camping.

I love the wildsquatch pretty much out of the box though I know the first two upgrades will be function over form -looking for some runners on the side to prevent any chipping from the numerous oil/chip roads and the loose gravel that seems to plague trails here. Second upgrade being the tailgate table for utility & cooking at campsites.

I do wish there were some more ergonomic grab handles getting in and out of the truck, but havenā€™t found much I like.

What about you? Iā€™ve been impressed with it in person and I really donā€™t think pictures do it justice.

Yeah totally agree. The rock throwing is troublesome for me, I love the cactus, and didnā€™t really want to spend 4k on a wrap/bra, so I just opted for the $90 RekGen mud flaps for the front. They have great reviews. Hopefully that stops the rock spitting. Grab handles are a must. Here is the stuff I have got!

Ceramic on windows was also a must, huge difference in heat blocking! Iā€™d love to try some of those river trails in Illinois, let me know if you ever wanna cruise šŸ˜ƒ
