I’m sure there are some not in this forum in MN that ordered….I’m actually shocked I haven’t seen one yet.Congrats! You'll have to have a showing, some large parking lot, we'll bring cameras and questions...
So, I was wrong about my small dealership not getting any mannequins. I test drove a 2.7 non-squatch outer banks with the high package and soft top, of course and they are supposed to get a base Bronco in the next month. Gotta say, I’m glad I got the wildtrak/Sasquatch. The larger stance of the 35s just gives it more of a presence and even in the 33s, there was more movement while in the cabin than I expected. I think the 35s will provide some nice dampening. That said, however, it is super fun to drive and got me super pumped to get mine… if I get a build date. The last car I owned that was this fun to drive was my VW GTI.
Edit: On second thought, the movement I was experiencing may have been associated with the soft top.

Another question for y’all. Are any of you having your Bronco shipped from an out of state dealer? Perhaps Granger? I’m just curious how much the shipping would cost from Granger to Minneapolis. Any clue?
Not I, but I’m starting to wish I’d gone that route. I’ve talked to other folks at instate Bronco events who did order from Granger, but I think they were flying down and driving back.

My original plan was to rent a car and drive to Granger to pick up my Bronco. However, if I end up getting PPF up here, I don’t want to risk chipping paint on the drive back.

We drove the BD at IGF last Friday. I'm excited to get our Badlands Sasquatch but I'm also underwhelmed about the 2.7 motor
I get the feeling the folks at the dealers are driving them around a bit. The one I tested today wasn’t drivable until today and had over 75 miles on it when I drove it, and I was the first tester. I’d be interested to know what the build is on the A51 in Roseville.

I felt the same way when I drove the 2.7 this afternoon. I noticed bit of shift lag when accelerating at a slower rate. Maybe it’s tuned to take off like a bat outa hell…?

Keep in mind these transmissions learn driving habits. During break in they’re not going to be perfect.

I will be renting a car. I also want full PPF but will have to take the chance on driving it back. Yea chips are gonna suck in my Cyber Orange. Just keep a long distance behind vehicles I guess.
Once folks start getting full PPF, I’d be interested in where a d how much it cost them. Seems like abou 4K+ is the going rate, but it’d be nice to know about experience and cost.
