Shout out to Brad at Century Ford in Mt Airy, MD. Could not have been more helpful in making this SUV a reality for me and he really knew the details on the Bronco. Here are some Pics of my non SAS BD.

I was lucky. Mine shipped just before Ford decided to stop ship the MIC.
A few more.

Congrats on your new BD! I'm eagerly awaiting mine now that I have a build date. Curious did you have a purchase agreement ready to go prior to order. All I have is my build sheet and MSRP cost. I'm tempted to go to the dealership before production time to get the finances worked out. The manager assured me I would at least get MSRP, maybe 1k below not holding my breath just a little nervous that I may get screwed.Shout out to Brad at Century Ford in Mt Airy, MD.

I did not order it. Someone cancelled their order. Prior to it coming in we did develop a purchase agreement at MSRP. Honestly I was shocked they sold it to me at MSRP given what I have seen other dealers, just reaffirms my trust in this dealership.

Great pix from all. @Lord Bronco @ric42pars @Portapot - can you share 4dr driving impressions? The 4.46 rear seems aggressive for the tire size. Is the 4dr quick off the line? Good throttle response off-road? How are the RPMs at highway speed? Thanks
MIne is a 2.3l manual. I would not say it is quick off the line, have to get out of 1st and 2nd before it really starts to take off and then the response is pretty sporty. I would say in Sport mode it is a much more enthusiastic drive. I don't think it is under powered at all, but if you are looking for off the line speed go 6cyl. If I recall, at highway doing about 75MPH, the RPMs are around 1700-1800 if I recall. I will have to jot it down next time I drive it. Have not taken it off road as of yet.

I also have the manual. I agree with @Portapot. It’s not exactly quick off the line in 1st gear. 1st is pretty slow. Once you get to 3rd, it takes off. On the highway, I’d say in 6th gear it’s near 2k. 6th gear is a real dog though. On any type of incline it seems to lack power. It groans a little. I find myself in 5th gear a lot on the highway if not on a flat highway at 70+. I thought I saw a post on this at one time but when I hit 400 miles, the power seemed to kick up a notch. Really strange. The tone of the engine and transmission seemed to change and the power-torque increased. No off roading. @Portapot, have you seen this? There’s a also distinct whine when on the gas now and it goes. Can’t tell if it’s the turbo or the transmission.
Ric42pars I have not noticed any meaningful change in disposition when it hit 400 miles if that is what you were asking but I also run it in Sport mode most of the time. I too would agree that 6th gear on the highway is good for fuel economy on pretty flat surfaces, if any meaningful hill need to drop to 5th.

I switched my 4dr BD build from a 7MT to the 2.7L. I was about to switch it back but then I got a build date. I guess I’ll find out in about a month if I made the right choice. But man, every time I see a pic of a 7MT, I get jealous.
