It’s not a Ranger butttt

[DMVRanger]

I work at a Ford Dealership and we just got 3 Broncos delivered today! One as a customer order in the 2.3 manual which I have to say feels amaaaazing and I can only imagine it tuned by Livernoise like my current Ranger! The FTCP demo unit is a Big Bend Sasquatch
Racking up to 52k but I gotta say it is sweeet. The other we have for sale is a Lux Package Outer Banks with no Sasquatch which I gotta say is very nice with the 12” screen and the nicer interior however not seeing the gaps filled in where the locker switches would be (like on the Sasquatch) definitely feels like you’re missing something however going with the 8” screen while being very nice (definitely a better standard to have than my 4” XL screen) feels like you’re missing out on the 12” since it’s just molding around it to fill the gap where the bigger screen would be. I do gotta end it with buy what you need and nothing you dont, hence my choice of the XL 2wd and the fact that there are so many options on the Broncos gives me hopes that rangers next year will be given an overhaul and give options.

Yep, they really look great! More importantly, how do we score that sweet Bronco vest?

Thanks for sharing, that is awesome.

Called my local dealership today and it’s gonna be at least four weeks before they see Any big Broncos that they know of.

Curious as how they have one for sale? Was it an order that someone didn't' want because Ford stated that dealers were not going to get any Broncos for sale until all orders were filled. There were 125,000 orders and that would take all of 2022 to fulfill. Then they backtracked and said if there were parts constraints in an order then they would send dealers plain Jane versions for sale which this clearly is not.

3 pedals, I like that... Not to crazy about the look without the doors though.

Kent, they have tube doors for these too. They're actually crash certified too.

I’m a bit suspect as well. Could it be that this this show up with a Sharpie-written option of $15,000 added to the window sticker because the dealership’s owner is the one who ordered it and is desperate to make a few more bucks?

I’ve seen this happen with Anniversary edition cars and Corvette ZR1s. It sucks but it happens. If this is the case, I hope Ford kicks their ass over it - they’ve done it before.

However, if it’s legit, maybe it’s a sign that production is well under way and Dave will be making us all jelly sooner than we thought.

Well Dave, I think the doors off on a 2 door model looks better than the doors off on a 4 door.

I spent many years in a 78 Toyota Landcruiser I bought new (not a daily driver) with the top and doors off. While that was great most of the time, I got tired of very hot, cold, rained on, etc. so my Jeep keeps it's top and doors on. Love the AC, heater, and top. Must be getting older.

It indeed was a customer back out which is why we have it for sale

Geezus, the Ford quality is so bad the fender flare fell off already.

They were in the middle of taking it off for demonstration!

What are the chances it’s still there tomorrow?

Please do us all a favour - park it next to a Ranger and take some pics so we can appreciate the scale of it.

Genuine customer back out, even after a non refundable deposit! Ford ran out of hard tops and even trying to order the part would take forever and they simply didn’t want it… to me that’s crazy but yeah we have a Lux package outer banks ready to be sold at (not quite 15k) but about 10k over sticker price… I understand how sucky that is but in my eyes our dealership honored the no up charge on Mach Es (unlike some other dealerships in our area) as ford intended and for having a full sized well packed Bronco available RIGHT NOW!! I kinda get the upcharge given I know many of you wouldn’t pay it but someone always will in the car industry! Too be fair if someone put an order in today it’s estimated you wouldn’t get your Bronco until next august!

It still had to be PDI’d before we can legally treat drive or sell it so tomorrow is the technical first day it’s available however we had many lookers today so we shall see

Yep, sucky.

Stealerships - earning their reputations one cash grab at a time. I don’t think that was your decision to make, but….just sayin’
