this looks amazing and I have never owned or purchased a red car in my life. I’ve been stuck on VB or EG but now HPR is in the picture damn

Yes the Eruption Green is really nice and how did the manual do?
The manual was fantastic! I had tested out a 4dr manual Badlands several months ago at another dealership in NOVA, but I was not able to be as aggressive a driver as I'd wanted because the salesman was with me. THIS time, I had the vehicle all to myself and I REALLY drove it. VERY impressive gearbox! AND, I was honestly surprise at the "merging" speed it had under the hood. I drove it all the way up to Leesburg, VA on a part of Route 7 one can really punch it and I was able to zip around doing lane changes, lots of passing "slower" traffic, etc. Truly impressive. Not sure how it would have felt had it been a MY22 with 35s, but I'm hopeful. In any case, with the 33s on it I was incredibly impressed and very glad to be sticking with 7MT for my build.

Wow I am BLOWN away how nice the Bronco WIldtrak is😳. I am eating my own words after driving her home. She drives like a real deal 4wheel drive off road bad ass truck😎. The overall ride is truly awesome and does not drive like any other vehicle I have recently owned. I truly felt the Bronco may have the Crossover SUV personality which I am so glad she does not. And even I questioned did Ford build her unique to herself and yes they definitely built her to be solely a unique vehicle nothing close to any other of the Ford Product line. I am truly happy and excited I finally got mine never realizing she would be so cool and bad ass.
Congrats! So glad you love your Bronco Wildtrak. Thanks for being part of the Ford Family.

There are no 2021s. That is History. Only 22's from now on.
It’s my understanding that once your VIN is assigned to your year that it stays that way, it doesn’t become a 22. (Otherwise I would have gotten the option to modify my order) I received my VIN for a *21* bronco in September, went into production in December, and no word. So actually I should be receiving a 21, but in 22, after 22s have already started delivery

Damn total surprise call today my 2022 Wildtrak came in last night and I am at the dealer picking her up. 😁

That color looks so much better on the Bronco than I expected.

Didn't think I would like the HPR. Now I am kind of questioning if I want to swap out my race red before its built :LOL:.

These latest photos make it look close to a rapid red than the orangey / brown tints we were originally seeing?

I have never wanted a red car, but I switched to the HPR because it looked more like a bit of rust or brown was in the hue with a bit of orange in the sun too; it didn't look RED to me in the sun and looked a little like a retro brown/rusty red color done in a modern metallic paint

People have commented on how this color looks better on the Bronco than the Ranger or Focus, and other colors looking better or not from one vehicles to another; I can only wonder if it's one of two reasons this happens. I've seen what looks to be Cyber Orange on the Mach e and it looks a little darker, slightly more orange than the Bronco's more yellow looking Cyber Orange, so is it the same color?

Did Ford tweak the colors slightly between models? Why wouldn't the shade or hue or whatever look the same on every car or truck?

or

Did Ford use a different color primer on those vehicles causing the colors to look a little better or different from one vehicle to another?

Now I/we understand, your first post was a little confusing, I don't think most understood that yours was already built. I can only hope yours should be arriving soon, I see you live in Idaho and wonder if there is a transportation issue with getting your truck to you. There is a way (I've seen here) to track your truck in shipping, I would search for that and investigate.

Make sure dealer is being above board too. But good luck, I hope you get it soon. I'd be frustrated too.

How long after ordering through your dealerships did you receive any information. I placed my order through my local dealership and got a proposed purchase contract, but not an order number. When I asked the salesman, he told me that he would be checking weekly for updates. Should he have given me a number to be able to track through ford?

By far, the best looking Bronco I have seen. I have some tough choices to make.
