Hesitant to Order Before Test Drive?

[Silver-Bolt]

I ordered/bought both of my Raptors without ever test driving one. The Bronco I am waiting to see all of the variations in person before I commit.

I'm sold on the bronco...Its the specifics...2 door vs 4 door. Manual vs auto. 2.3 vs 2.7...Options/Features, etc. Sasquatch vs no. I'm really hoping they have some there at the time of ordering so I can make these decisions. Once we've ordered it, it will be too late to make any changes. I plan on keeping the bronco for a long time and I want to make sure I get the right one.

I’ll test drive the bronco that I’ll have ordered whenever it arrives. If I don’t like it, I’ll walk away without paying a dime and the dealer will sell it at a considerable markup. Win-win

I will sit in it and drive it before I make my decision. No other way for me. I don't care how awesome everything looks right now. If it doesn't fit me, or I'm not happy with the ride or something else, I'll walk away. Totally bummed I'm sure. But good in the fact that I didn't lock myself into a vehicle I won't be happy with.

The wife and I are both emotionally invested in a new Bronco. We have very high expectations so there is a real possibility of being disappointed. We've gotta love how it looks and also how it drives. This becomes her daily driver for the next 5-10 years. I do have reservations about ride quality because I have not read one critical review yet on the subject. Ford's initial marketing seems very much oriented to off-roading, but nothing for those of us looking for a comfortable cruiser. I am very much relying on how awesome my new 1978 Ford Bronco was at the time. I'm also confident that my dealer, with whom I have been a repeat customer many times over the years, will be able to arrange a personal viewing and test-drive. Can't wait to see the exterior colors and interior quality in person.

My only hesitation is on-road behavior of the sasquatch 35” vs. the badlands’ 33s.

Are you planning on doing this?

Is there a way to test drive even if your dealer has said the only way to drive before buying is to wait until the reserved orders are filled?

We're planning on ordering and then driving it when it gets delivered. We'll just back out if it doesn't turn out to be what we are hoping for.

All I really need to do is sit in the seat. I have a lower back thing that needs good lumbar support and we haven't really seen the final electric adjustable seat.....but other than that, I would buy it with out driving it for sure.

If they are not on the mannequin program then yes but most of us will have them prior to delivery to drive...

However not prior to order date in December...

I'd be OK if it showed up on my driveway with less than a quarter mile with a big bow on it.

I think/hope he means to ask if you will get to test drive the one you ordered before signing the paperwork, right?

I would hope to get at least a seat-test..right Albert? Pretty please?

Yeah, I'm ordering without driving or even seeing one in person. You either want it or you don't. It's a platform for further modification to fit my needs. I don't expect perfection.

I will test drive MY Bronco before I sign the paperwork. Any issues identified prior to taking ownership will have to be resolved.

Every person who has a Bronco on reserve can test drive it before purchasing.

It's simple, once your "ordered Bronco" arrives at the dealership, you test drive it then...and look over everything...before you sign any documents. If you are not happy, you just walk away.

and they happily mark it up $10,000...: )
