Posted this to another group, but with the few hours or just road driving:

Good:
- it’s “trucky” it’s the first vehicle I’ve had that sits this high. It’s great!
- visibility is really good. Big windows!
- tech is awesome!
- it keeps up with the joneses pretty well in terms of merging/on ramps and passing. Plenty of power with the 2.7 compared with the Wrangler I test drove.
- Climbs sidewalks like a champ
- Sound system is perfectly fine for having 4(?) speakers and a sub (B&O)
- Soft top is AWESOME for how easy it is to drive top down. I surprised my son and he was smiling ear to ear when we flipped the top back.

Meh:
- it’s “trucky”. Brakes feel different, you can tell it’s 5000+lbs.
- it’s sketchy driving a brick in yesterday’s windy weather. Seemed to wander a bit?Not sure if it was wind or 35” squishy tires or a combination of the two. I have not driven it on a more normal day in terms of wind
- Soft top is noticeably loud. But not as bad as my M2’s exhaust, so maybe subjective and doesn’t really bother me.
- digital dash kinda sucks in terms of the tach. Really hard to get familiar with the engine’s power band with a vertical tach. Maybe it’s just a “getting used to it” issue

How long from arrival at the Kent rail yard until you were able to pick it up at the dealer? Mine arrived to the Kent yard last night.

1 day from Kent to Ford of Kirkland. They were great to deal with. No surprises and I got x-plan pricing.

Wow! I was expecting a week or so. Fingers crossed for arrival in Tacoma any day then.

Yep. I reserved with Steve Cunnington last year and he said he would still honor xplan when it got here. He did and is a solid guy. I even got an email from them that says everyone gets xplan so let me know if you want to use it on your next Bronco.

Congrats! Any chance you were on 405 near Kirkland earlier? I saw one similar to yours in traffic followed by (2) Area 51 WildTrak's.
