Peace out Ranger5g!

Bronco came in after 14 month wait. I will miss the Ranger but I’m still a Ford fan boy.

base, 6 speed with Aux switches. Correct no lockers, not an option on base had to go to big bend. My xl ranger 2wd had the locker though! I used it once and it wasn’t even really needed, but for 420 bucks it’s a bargain.

If I had a barn I would have kept it, but I barley drove it and I’ll barely drive this bronco too so I couldn’t justify having both, besides bragging rights.

I wish! I had cancelled my order shortly after the '23 order banks opened up. They told me I was still #406 on their list and they'd never get than many allocations this year. Ford is going to cancel out all remaining orders now and you'll have to start all over again. 3+ years was way to long to wait for one and losing the price protection made mine just over $8,000 more now. Oh well there's a reason for everything and now I'll be getting my Tremor on the 16th so that'll keep me busy buying stuff for a while. lol
You may have still gotten it.
My salesman told me they received 20 Broncos the day mine came in and 110 for the week. He said Ford had finally said to hell with allocations and was sending them out trying to fulfill reservations . He said they would be spread out for the 24MY so they actually would not be getting many next year.
He also said 2drs were 8% of the builds.

Is there more room in the back seat than the Ranger?
maybe more head room but there’s only 2 seats in the rear vs 3 in a ranger

What are your build plans for this Bronco?
I’m going to drive it as much as I can, biggest thing will be tint on 5 windows. The rims and tires are staying. The steel wheels combined with the shortest tire is the best ride and quickest it’s going to get. The gears are still on the long side so any taller tire is going to ruin the driving experience IMO. Let’s face it this thing will probably never see “off road”. Any off road it does see will be accomplished with 2wd. If 2wd was an option I would have been all over it. As for the lack of lockers it really would not benefit this ride either as I’d never go rock crawling. The current traction control system is great, any slip and it can quickly “adjust” the loose wheel and pulse that caliper to give power to the wheel that has the traction. My Ranger did this very well and expect the same here for the bronco. Bottom line is the base bronco has it all! Power windows, ac and cruise control is what I like standard on my vehicles and this has that and more!

Nice looking Bronco! It looks like Ford is finally starting to deliver some 2 door models after 3 years of waiting. lol I always said the Base model with SAS was the best value when you could first reserve them. Good luck with it!
Bell Road Ford had two Bronco's the other weekend. One was the Sasquatch Package and the other was the Wildtrack edition (?) Both four doors.

Thanks Greg but that ship for me has sailed. I only wanted a 2 door anyways and now that I'm getting my new Tremor next week I'll be busy broke with that for while. lol
