Yours is coming Dave
Those are probably the ones that have been sitting for months waiting for chips and new hard tops. There were 5000+ at one time build and waiting. If not Ford has another big problem we don't know about. :shock:

If those are the same ones some have been there since May. It's almost a blessing right now that mine won't be coming anytime soon. I'd still really love to get one someday but not right now.

Saw the other day a guy was driving his and the power steering went out and he lost all power functions. Only had 120 miles on it. Jim @wanted33 told me there was one that got delivered and the inside of the tailgate was never painted. How does that get past QC? :facepalm:

I agree Alex it's always best to wait until at least the second year of a total redesign. I will definitely be following the Maverick and Lightning launches to see if they're having the same problems as the Bronco is. I'm not sure why there's so many problems with it and it's not concentrated to one thing like the engine, it's all over the place. I really do hope they get it all worked out because it was really fun to drive the one I did off road and still would like one at some point.

"If" I bought a Jeep I'd consider the Wrangler 4Xe. Pretty sweet, pretty quick, transition seems smooth based on video reviews from electric to gas.
They are pretty sweet but I just wish the range was a little longer. Plus they have to many doors, they only come in a 4dr. lol

2016 Focus ST maybe Ranger in a couple days.

I haven't had a 2 door car or suv/truck since high school. I will never buy one again until my daughter is grown and driving herself around. That short wheelbase on the 2 doors is superb though.

First thing I'm doing is pulling the back seat out, if it were my only vehicle I would've went with the 4dr. I'll still have the Ranger and it's only me and my gf right now so it works for us. Plus it was $3,000 more and that's a lot of mod money right there. lol

It's kinda sad what's happening with the Broncos at MAP. I can't understand how this was missed. I mean, someone had to hang it, connect the witing, and pop that plastic cover in place. And least we forget, they had to connect the "damper". It's beginning to seem like a good thing that I won't see my Bronco for a couple more years.

The lack of QC is baffling here. Besides all the stages Jim listed that it has to go through there's still a final quality check. Either Hellen Keller is doing them or they're not getting done at all.:facepalm:

Unless that area is suppose to have some kind of covering then no need paint all of it but if that's not the case then "FORD your making some big mistakes" "In the voice of Ricky Ricardo from Lucy".

Nope that's the finished product. You can buy Molle attachments for it and they do have a drop down table available.

That's nothing there was a Badlands delivered that had the right colored stitching on the front seats (orange) but the rear seats were from a Black Diamond which have blue stitching. :shock:
