Canceled my reservation.
As it turns out, dealer never submitted my order.
Called Ford directly to confirm my build date, and was told the order had not been converted.
Someone earlier mentioned that Badland reservations were third in priority of build date, according to their dealer.
Also, my Badlands specification is most likely an outlier - Badlands, with NO Badlands Package.
Badlands, NO late availability options
Reservation placed 7/22
Order Confirmed 7/22
Build date 1/4/21
Location: Colorado
NO email from Ford on build date - just from dealer.
First real look at the:
front facing camera operation
rubberized flooring under the cargo mats and liners
engine bay
center console
dash display menus
exhaust note (or lack thereof)
I'd call BS.
If they can't deliver the "First" edition, first.
Then they fumbled and look like idiots - like Jeep did with the "Launch" edition of the Gladiator.
I think it's not a bad thing to wait on the 2 and 4 door Bronco.
They are almost completely new.
Let them iron out first generation car issues, and expand the options list.
The sport is 80% escape, so that lends to a more reliable experience out of the gate.
Great find. I'm surprised there isn't more interest in the Sport. Granted, I would be in line for a 2 door if my lease wasn't up in JAN. But still, I think they look sharp. And love the Cactus Grey photo - reaffirms my decision.
As the above shows, the optional "Steelie" wheel does not include the price of the off road tires.
Unlike the online configurator, which automatically selects them for no upcharge.
Here is my order receipt for my badlands showing this:
What was the dealer's knowledge about accessories?
Ford claims 100 Bronco Sport accessories at launch, but the configurator doesn't have much.
Were you given an option to add accessories before delivery?
