Just heard that the Boss's Bronco has shown up at the dealer, we should be picking it up in a couple days.

Autonation Bellevue says their demo should be there any day. A manual Badlands.

Their CO Badlands is there and it was awesome to drive. I got them to let me put the top down and drove a loop around Bellevue. Traffic was bad but the truck was awesome!

West Hills Ford in Bremerton now has a demo Badlands on hand.

West Hills Ford in Bremerton now has a demo Badlands on hand.

I got an email saying it was there on Friday for a test drive

It was there yesterday when I was stopped in.

It showed up sometime on/before Monday morning. I've been out of country for a bit and drove to work for the first time in forever, it was out front.

Badlands, 4-door, Cyber Orange, 2.3/MT, I think it was squatched or at least the optional wheels/tires.

I have a test drive scheduled for later in the week and will report back.

FYI: That's where my reservation is with, they have been communicative and answered every email (sometimes requiring a second request, but never having to wait too long). We also bought our Ranger there through the same pre-order system that Bronco is using. They were easy to work with then and upheld every promise they made.

Overall I don't expect or require a sales person to be passionate about each and every unit they sell, their job is to sell cars, not care about them deeply. I'm the enthusiast so it's my job to care about the minutia for a vehicle I want.

Non-squatch. The optional wheels and CO were really nice.

My sales guy hasn’t answered or followed up when he says he will. Same with the GM unless I call, too. I’ve only needed to reach out twice though.

2.3/MT

Oh, and they warned me it was manual when I called to make an appointment. Guess a lot of people can’t drive them.

Drove the West Hills tester today which is the Badlands with the 2.3L 10spd auto & 33” tires. I was impressed with it! It accelerated quite well for having less than 300 miles on it and of course the weight of the 4dr. It was amazingly quiet too with the soft top. It had the B&O sound system which was decent enough for me as I don’t blast my ears like I used to 30yrs ago. Overall, I thought it was a solid vehicle which you 2.3 guys will love. I wish it was a stick! Here’s a tidbit the salesperson shared. She said Ford was going to offer the manual trans with the 2.7 for 2022. We shall see…

Yea, that makes sense. The salesperson I ordered with knew I am only buying a MT so he must have skipped the warning.

I put about 30-40 miles on it today and it drove fantastic! The GF hasn't driven a stick since college (~15 years) and did great. It's a bonnie and a joy, that transmission.

I'll trust a salesperson with my life. They always have the most up to date and accurate info!

Read: I don't trust what she said. It's unlikely they would even introduce such a change for MY22 at this point, given the orders they already have in the banks. Perhaps for MY23, but even then, the 2.3/MT is a great pairing. Take rate on the AT will always be >90%, there's not much reason to dev the MT to take the 2.7's torque.

That's awesome! I'd be interested to know what the estimated shipping time is once it starts moving. Mine should have been built today according to the BLEND date.

So happy for you! She's a beaut! I went and visited her the day before you picked her up. How is it having her now? I. Can't. Wait!

[SuzH]

Anyone get their ticket pulled for the early MY22 builds?
