There’s got to be other options than a Bronco. I mean, what “GOAT MODE” do you plan to drive that thing in. (I’m hoping you’ve seen that commercial.) ?
It was sarcasm based on another post. I’ll always be a Jeeper. Wouldn’t be happy with anything else.

I get it. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to bash on that dumb ass goat mode though. I couldn’t resist.

I don't think anyone on the forum wants to drive a Bronco Raptor. Bitching at Jeep and making hollow threats is just a way to laugh and make ourselves feel good while we pass the time of waiting and waiting and waiting.....In the end, we all ordered a Jeep because it is a Jeep. King of the off road!!

I am at the same status, I am assuming the shipping from Ohio to Louisiana is the issue. I have connections in the trucking industry if they need help scheduling a truck I can make it happen lol!!
Oh man that's a rough route right now. The low water levels on the Mississippi have moved a major percentage of non-ag river barge traffic to rail. Kinda curious how the spot market for trucking looks at the moment.

Exactly, it's just frustration. Not having any control or real insight is just awful.

I’m a Ford guy and I originally wanted the new Ford Bronco. But I was not willing to wait a year or two from order to delivery due production problems. The Bronco has serious problems with the 2.7 Ecoboost breaking down and other major quality issues.
Before sitting in one myself, the best thing I had heard said about the Bronco's interior was "it's a nice first swing," and that was from an automotive journalist trying to be political, since Ford is notoriously thin-skinned about criticism from the automotive press (they will pull early access from journalists for petty reasons).

After sitting in one, and since I call things like they are and don't have to worry about the ire of Ford, I will say they have a shoddy, cheap interior.

And the Braptor has Fender Flares by Rubbermaid™

We had TWO Bronco reservations and no Jeeps when this started, we’re going to end up with 2 Jeeps. Try telling a Bronco apologist that Jeep has the better interior. I was telling them this before I even thought about buying my Jeep. They get insanely angry…I told them I bought a Jeep after 26 months of waiting and they lost their minds. It’s kinda funny how they act like a little brother. I like both vehicles but the Bronco interior is cheap.

I'm not really that big on Bronco at all, but I find it insanely hard to accept the 4-door. The 2-door doesn't look half bad, but the bodylines of the 4-door bug me.

Plus, they're just using Jeep culture as a blueprint for Bronco culture (not that I'm a huge fan of Jeep culture, but it's funny nonetheless). There's a Bronco wave and they're starting to organize Bronco-specific events in the vein of Easter Jeep Safari and Jeep Jamboree...

They can have the ducking thing, though.

Seriously, Bronco owners, if there are any of you lurking here reading this - please, for the love of four wheel drive, just take the ducking thing.

Aug 20 and finished built on Nov 7
I ordered 3 days behind you on 8/23... no movement on mine. :(

The recent movement of them has me hopeful. But, hope is the worst.

To be fair, the wait was excruciating, so I feel you there. But it all melts away. Post as soon as yours gets movement!
