Congrats!
re: canceling. I think all the cancellations now will not effect any one else, as the dealers will keep these orders for their lot. That's what I would do as a dealer.
You should check your ford account in a few weeks to see if you still have an order.

nice. what's their estimated turnaround time?
I talked to my local Chevy dealer about ordering a new 21 Tahoe and he said right now GM is telling them 6-8 months! Bc of the chip shortage... Tahoes are like unicorns right now. Impossible to find them on lots, and they don't stay long when they are there.
but then he also said that he ordered one for a customer in Dec and it came in 3 months... But I think things have gotten worse since then.
GL with the Gladiator. What specs/color did you go with?

One dealer told me 4-8 weeks and the one I ordered from said 3-6.
From what I can tell on gladiator forums 3 months shouldn't be a surprise so we'll see. Not worried about it right now. It gets here when it gets here.
I went with a Willy's in sarge green and tan interior. Aux switches, towing package and spray in bed liner, soft top. Very simple barebones spec.
Below is a Willy's Wrangler in the color combo. I couldn't find a good pic of the Gladiator that shows off this combo.
Also a rendering from Jeeps website of the sarge green Willys Gladiator with soft top.
Certainly not for everyone but I really like it.
Good luck finding your Tahoe

Definitely like the green color. Ford can go suck a bag of dicks for not including green first year.One dealer told me 4-8 weeks and the one I ordered from said 3-6.

Ummm. Haven't you seen the pics of cactus gray?
I SEE SO MUCH GREEN. And I know this is a northeast thread, but aren't cactuses (cacti?) green? So therefore, why would you name a color after something that isn't that color? WHY?!?!?

Maybe, but it's not how to release a vehiclemaybe Ford knows something we don't know.....
That's the real delay. Area 51 was supposed to supply a super top secret part. But then Covid hit and the Aliens were like... aahhh, no. You figure that shit out on your own. We'll be back later.Maybe, but it's not how to release a vehicle
Boom. Delays.

So just got back from All American and I came away impressed. A lot of presence in either Squatch or Badlands form. @Chrism81 was right that in person the difference in 33 vs 35 from the side is really hard to tell. Only from the front where the 35's are noticeably wider did I notice. I think I took the Bronco uniform too seriously because some dude came up to ask me a question thinking I worked there, haha. Photo for reference: went with the orange flannel.
Took pictures mostly of the badlands. The KO2’s with the upgraded wheels are awesome and currently what I have ordered.
Rear seat room, for at least me, won’t be an issue. I’m 6-1 190 and had the drivers seat where I thought was comfortable, which by the way were super comfortable at least compared to my 3rd gen Tacoma. Sitting behind myself I had plenty of legroom and great visibility above the driver with the “stadium seating”.
Got a shot of the MPG as well. Badlands with 2.3L, 7 speed, non squatch, soft top…was 16.6. No idea of driving style (probably honing it a bit with the stick) and HWY vs city so do with it as you wish.
Sync 4 seems real snappy so that was a plus coming from a lot of use of sync 2 and a little bit of sync 3. Oh and I really felt up the seats. MGV is everything you guys have been talking up. Super soft and very happy I went with it. Got a video of it trying to convey it. Foam was pliable and the MGV had a nice texture to it.
Other things noted compared to my current Tacoma:
Hood seemed really light to lift at least compared to the Tacoma which is probably multiple layers of steal, haha. Needs two hands to lift. Bronco was done with one arm so.
Dash seems about 3-4” taller on the Bronco so driving perspective is better for me at least, instead of looking down at the gauges on the taco. Trail sights will probably come in handy.

Awesome stuff!
Things I like about my G; comfortable front seats, read stadium seating, trail sights, highway manners, off road capability.
I think I'll really like the Bronco. Getting excited again! Not enough to feel up seats, but close!
