Hello all…just picked up a black big bend today. In Schaumburg (Cook County). Coming over after previously owning 13 Wranglers.

WELCOME! I was actually going to buy a Gladiator, but when word came out that the '21 Bronco was coming out, I held off. BUT, while my Bronco sat at MAP for three months, I nearly pulled the trigger on a Lime Green '21 Gladiator, but I didn't! My fav color almost got me to just to Jeep!

WOW, that long wait is too crazy! I keep having to pinch myself on how lucky I am to have my Bronco! Hopefully you get yours soon! Unfortunately, I haven't driven mine much....just sits in the garage...too much overtime at work.....padding my pension....but this Spring/Summer/Fall, I WILL take time off to cruise the Bronco! I've only put on 1200ish mile since Black Friday '21, and 300 of those was the drive back from Granger! Good luck!

Lucky you!! Just in time for Spring/Summer!! I can't wait, I've only taken of the roof panels over the passenger compartment, so when it gets warmer, off with the entire roof and doors!!

I live in Peoria, so that might be true. Also, I have a Granger OctNever res and I’m pretty sure Ford is going out of their way to make sure that I never even sniff a Bronco. Whatever, I’m happy to burn their gas and beat up on their equipment with other Bronco enthusiasts.



I’ll be up there on 4/27 at 9:30- looking forward to it.
Just north of Springfield. My son played baseball for East Peoria Raiders last year there at East Side Center. I also bought a Jeep Willy's from Sam Lemans up there. Something to hold me over while waiting for the Bronco. Wife will probably take the Jeep wants it comes in.

Welcome! I might see you around town. I’m in Arlington Heights, work in Schaumburg. Cactus gray WT. Also coming from a Wrangler (actually still have it).

I’ll keep my eyes out for you. I have only seen one other Bronco in the area. I play softball at Melas in AH and saw one there last year too.

I'm starting to see them all over in Naperville and on 88/294 on my way to work. Mostly all area 51 4 door badlands. Did see my first white one in downtown Naperville a few days back. I think when I see my first EG is when I'm really going to get upset since I've been stuck on Ice Mountain for almost 3 months. Some day...

That's a long wait....especially with summer around the corner....I too waited a long time, from August 8th (built) to November 25th to get my Bronco, but boy, when it arrives you'll be one happy camper!! Good luck!

I've been seeing a lot of 4 door cactus grey and A51. Still have not seen another 2 door out in the wild.
