I bit the bullet and put a deposit down on the Robin's Egg Blue 4 DR Manual. I travel south to finish out the details of my trade-in in the morning and hope to have it back home by tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed.

With the top rack, now your car is too high to enter the garage. lolI am enjoying it so much. Can't believe it's mine. I've just about got it ready for Overlanding trip next week. Hope to get tent on tomorrow.

Ford is making leaps and bounds!! Only taking 2 months to build a vehicle now... What progress!! Now some might argue that it should only take a couple of days. But Ford is reinventing the automotive industry and revolutionizing quality standards and that kind of excellence takes extra time.... Ohh wait.... Nevermind! Ford just ain't that good at building cars right the first timeOh shit!
So we wait and we wait and we wait some more... Someday... Maybe.... And somehow that's good enough... Only in automotive!!

this was actually my concern as well. I ended up sacking the SAS package on my order in hopes I had a better chance of it getting built. Turns out that it saved my bacon when it came to the garage. I have less than 2” of garage clearance so I won’t be doing big tires or racks any time soon.

I have about 7 inches of clearance getting in even with Rack on. I don't think I can get in once tent is on though. I bought the Raket rack because it's easy to remove. I don't plan to keep it on all the time.
I definitely feel this. My family has owned many, many Ford products, all lemons. Two mustangs, a mercury Capri, a jaguar X type, and others. They were all literal junk.
After my wife bought a new mustang I felt like the Ford quality had improved from my 80s and 90s models and so went for the Bronco. It’s also more advanced than both the Jeep and (current) 4Runner.
For the last 15 years I’ve only owned Hondas so fingers crossed!

My Everglades will be a challenge - most of the houses and the garages in FL are not high...I guess because of hurricanes.
Lots of Ford hate…
My last vehicle was a 2013 Ford Edge… zero issues for 11 years, took it in for oil changes, brakes, and tires when needed and I just sold it to make room for the Bronco.
My experience with Ford has been great, especially compared to Chrysler with the Pacifica my wife drives and the constant issues we have with it.
I don’t mind waiting to get a vehicle I custom ordered if it means Ford identified an issue and held it before shipping. That’s the behavior of a quality manufacturer in my mind. Issues are inevitable when manufacturing something so complicated, it’s how the manufacturer behaves in reaction to those issues that matters.
Sticking with my Bronco and seeing how it goes.

Made it back from South Alabama with the only manual transmission within 300 miles.
Took just a sec to get back into the hang of things. I love it! The color is growing on me.
