Photo added: Just got the call - My Bronco has been delivered --- but damaged hood!

Same thing happened to me. Dealer called and said mine had been completely atomized. Options are wait for them to build another or go ahead and wait for another to be built.

Is there a thread out there for people who have gotten a Bronco delivered and driven it farther than I can throw a cow without something breaking or looking like a kindergartener built it?

Depends on how far you can throw a cow. I made it less than a mile before the airbag light came on. I thought that was a pain until the clutch failed at 600 miles.

Waiting on photos from the sales manager - he has informed me that there is damaged the roof hood of the Bronco.


The sales manager is supposed to give me my options tonight for how to address it.

updated: photo attached. There is one paint chip spot and several dents equivalent to what you would see from a hail stone

Easy, Ford paints new hood when they get it and you enjoy your new Bronco until then.

I‘d propose starting one, but don’t feel like doing enough research to keep the forum nazis from shitting all over me for thinking about discussing something somebody already thought about discussing…as that is clearly unforgiveable.

Has zero relevance to shipping damage unfortunately.

That would actually explain a lot...

You forgot #4..Delivery was not at the correct address.

Fill in the dents?

I’ve used a dent guy who does magic pulling/pushing/rubbing out dents.

And I have given him some good sized dents to work on!

Yes there’s a story behind each one, but my lips are sealed.

My son does this type of work (paintless dent repair) for a living. Even travels overseas. Hail damage type repairs, except for repainting.

OP it happens and I personally know the suckage hopefully they make it right. I had ordered a 100th Anniversary Challenger back in 2014. When it arrived it had sat on a train coming from Canada for 3 weeks. When we were going thru the inspection one of the tires had quarter sized cuts from the chains holding it down. The windshield had lines between the laminated layers. The steering wheel had a huge gouge down the center. The trunk wasn’t fully sprayed, and I’m sure I’m missing something. The upside Dodge flew a paint guy down from Canada and they redid the paint on the inside of the trunk, replaced all the other listed shit. Then for all my trouble gave me 3k in parts of my choice which was a performance exhaust, cai, and a shift kit. Installed for free, sometimes shit just happens. And the best part for me was it arrived on my Birthday!

Just put some wax on it

Sorry... Bad joke.

Does anyone know if Rapid Red is a new color to Ford? Will the dealer body shop have it in stock?

I work for Ford doing paint and metal repair at the factory and this should not be a problem at all and you shouldn’t be able to tell it was touched if their body guy is any good. Take about 20 minutes to get hoods dents out and about 40 minutes to paint that chip. I would not worry about it. Shipping damage happens quite a bit. Also Rapid Red is a great color. I ordered my FE in it and use to have a F-150 in RR and loved it. Use to be called Ruby Red.

Thanks. At the dealership now. It looks like the dents are pretty minor and there is only one chip. They are going to write it up that they will attempt repair in house and if that does not satisfactorily resolve it, they will replace the hood.

Sounds like a good resolution. Once vehicles leave the plant they are then the responsibility of the shipper and then the dealership.

True. Some turd head along the way had to know that thing was damaged and evidently didn’t say anything.

Dang, sorry man. Even when I was in my cow-flinging prime, I could never launch one a full mile.

Hopefully it’s not from the derailment on that train recently?

Don’t know if joking or not, but any vehicle involved in a recordable derailment is automatically scrapped/given a salvage title.

Wasn’t joking! I did not know that. I fear there might be some of us, including me, that might find out our Bronco was on that train. Praying there wasn’t many Broncos on that derailment.
