New Member and new Bronco owner / 2 DR Badlands Build

[CC1999]

My ordered Bronco was likely never to get built.
Heck it really was not technically ever even accepted by Ford into the order bank.

My local dealer still could not even place my order in the order bank. I gave them the order last summer.

Anyway, as news came out recently that they were out of components again and it was sounding like even if they had put my order in, it would never gotten built with the all the high-end options I wanted.

I turned on some nationwide search alerts with Autotrader and Cars.com for a 2023 Bronco in the Spec I was after, finally got a hit this week, one 1200 miles away in VA. I went ahead and hit the online dealer check availability button. That VA dealer called about an hour later, it was really there, it was really available.
It was really in near identical spec to my order.

Anyway I am now an owner of a 2023 Ford Bronco 2dr Badlands.

Congratulations! Welcome to the Bronco family. We’re you able to pick it up for MSRP?

It is supposed to Ship Monday, should if all goes well be here in about a week.

Today we finalized shipping arrangements.
1200 mile trip to bring her home to me at a cost of $1200 bucks shipping.

I technically paid $2500 over sticker, however not really.
I did a build and price on the Ford website, tweaking it for the couple extra options this Bronco had that my spec hadn't had like the modular bumper and bull bar. This week's build and price with all the latest price increases factor in, I actually had an MSRP 2500 more than the one I had bought had. Same exact spec.

So, in effect to order the exact same spec I just bought and say pay MSRP, it would be the same price I just paid give or take a $100-200. So, I went with the old saying that the bird in hand is worth a lot more than two in the bush. LOL

This afternoon, my salesman helped me setup Ford pass in my new Bronco over the phone, this way I can track my new Bronco all the way home to me if I want.
I thought that was a really cool idea.

I’m glad it all worked out for you, congrats again on finding something so close to your build! It’s a gorgeous vehicle and will provide a ton of smiles per gallon.

I got to thinking, that should have read a Bronco in hand is worth a lot more than 2 in the Ford order Bank. lol

Exactly my thought when I managed to snag mine--original order still pending...

Another mod I think I would like to do, if it would be available.

Does any dealer or company offer an interior orange trim delete kit.

I think I have seen where you can change out a lot of those orange bits for black trim pieces for the standard or base models' trim pieces.

I was thinking all it would take would be a dealer or maybe a third party to package together all the part numbers needed from the base model Bronco to sell them as say a orange or blue or whatever loud color they used to trim out some of these Bronco's with delete kit.

Congratulations, two door score.

 

[CC1999]

I think I found a couple more mods on the Ford website.
I am really liking the look of this kit.more less decals/stripes. Really like the looks of it.

Congratulations!
