Cool. I guess I just didn't remember the chrome lugs on the FE and that was throwing me off. I guess that's what the look like on our Badlands, just seemed a lot brighter and was throwing me off with the black wheels... which I already knew the FE had black wheels. Anyhooo.
Yes, if it were true there would at least be a service bulletin. Sounds like some engineering type trying to spitball a reason for parts not being there, when parts shortages are in fact the actual reason Ford has already given. FWIW, Ford is not shipping *ANY* of their current vehicles with...
Top and pillars are black on First Edition, same as on Badlands. FE comes with the black lettering and black side decal stripes and black hood decals from the factory. Interior of the FE is the same as the Badlands w/ premium package leather, but the seats are the Navy Pier color scheme...
Haven't read through the rest of the posts, but you should be good. If you sign and agree to a price, it's pretty much binding. There is always a slight chance they could try and alter the deal on you, but it's pretty rare that dealerships actually do this.
Doc fee is a bit high, but in many...
Our '21 is Alto Blue and the '22 is Bronze Smoke. Really like both colors, but the Alto Blue is my favorite. We ordered the Bronze before anyone had seen it and then initial pictures had me a bit worried. It's a nice color though and really pops in the sun. My only complaint about the Bronze...
Ford has no position on this as the dealerships are independent and set their own pricing. For now, with all the shortages, anything that's sitting on the lot in general inventory is going to have a markup just about anywhere you go. Some of the smaller dealerships or those off the beaten path...
The intelligent access / door key code is great. Been making sure all my vehicles have it or something equivalent.
Hmmm... This would be a first. I have not tried it on the Bronco Sport, but the system (I believe) supports up to 4 keys and companion MyKey profiles and it shouldn't be a big...
...but only 2, maybe 3, days per week. That's how often the Ford tracker actually works. You will usually get an email at each production milestone. Sometimes those emails come in a day or two after the check mark shows in the tracker. Sometimes you don't get an email. It's a little...
The bulletin about this was dated for the 1st. But I don't think any '22s have been built with an engine cover, maybe the first batch. Ford is still trying to source them and has them in the parts catalog so you can order one if it really bothers you that much. Might take a while to get it...
Both are as identical as we could make them. Badlands with Premium/Badlands package, moon roof, 360+, tow, upgraded Falken wild peak tires, rubber mats, cargo mat... Functionally both are identical. Just the couple minor button and dial changes. '22 gains the garage door opener and 2nd row...
...He needs to
Pictures don't show it, but he's actually keeping it rather clean. A bit tricky right now with the weather, the snow/dirt cycle continues. Not sure what's spilled in the cupholder and splashed a bit around. It's sticky.
Yep, little light on the '21 start button. No light on...
Well, since my son has been driving our '21 as his daily I guess I let my brain imagine something else. Too many different vehicles here that I'm jumping between. Gear selectors in the '21 and '22 are the same. The one difference I forgot to mention is the temperature knobs for the climate...
*** EDIT *** The gear selectors are the same. My brain was confusing between the one in our Expedition we recently sold. ***
The gear selector is different. Still a dial and still works mostly the same, but the one in the '21 looks nicer or more premium. The gear indicator on the dial in...
Same for '22. The rubber floor mats can be ordered in addition to, or in place of, the carpet mats. The rubber mats are the way to go. They look good and are very functional and easy to maintain. Overall the Bronco Sport interior does not feel cheap at all, but more functional and a bit...
I get that lots of people want them, not sure I understand the appeal... I mean, if you want to replicate the look of cheap ass, stamped steel wheels, for the purpose of nostalgia, be my guest. They're like a $750 upgrade to the standard Badlands wheels if you pick them at the time of order...
It shows there. And just like it says in the offer details, check with your dealership for eligibility and all that.
I'm aware of the promotion, actually having it applied to our Sport we pick up next week. I'm just saying the other offers page does not show it, based on location. I can...
Makes me wonder if they would honor the price if you pay cash or even let you pay cash as it's no different to them than if you used outside financing. It's probably something as stupid as they set pricing and figured in an incentive or kickback they get from Ford Credit that they don't want to...
OP being in Pennsylvania, I can't comment about the legality of it there, but some states don't allow dealerships to refuse outside lenders. The other alternative is to speak with the bank that pre-approved and see what they can do to help. They'll want to lend the funds if they can, that's...
We ordered our Bronze Smoke BL on 10/6 as well. Got the "in production email on December 12... But no word on anything until getting the shipped email on 1/6/22 with an ETA to the dealership of 1/28. Then a revised ETA showed up on the tracker about 1/24, saying 2/4/22. It was delivered on...
