Very excited to share that my Bronco came on Monday. Just happened to also be my 40th Birthday. I feel so grateful that I didn’t have a long wait, 6 months from the time I ordered. I live in WI though so don’t know if that factored in with MI being our neighbor.

I’ve never purchased a brand new vehicle before, never spent more than $10k on a vehicle so this was a big deal for me. I also said I’d never waste money on a brand new vehicle. This however, has been more than worth it.

My initial observations after just a few days are:

- definitely going to need a second job to cover gas costs. I kid, I kid.

- the doors when opening/closing don’t necessarily inspire confidence. They feel far too lightweight and almost wobbly. I’m nervous about breaking the glass and would have preferred it to feel a little more solid.

- as others have already mentioned and I obviously knew when I purchased, the interior feels a little cheap for a nearly $60k vehicle. I was use to a Volkswagen though, so it’s almost not a fair comparison.

- it’s a lot of vehicle for me. I still love it, but it’s going to take some getting use to. I’m 5’7” and I definitely need to pull myself into the truck. I’ll be adding some hoop steps soon. Heads up on that though, my dealer has informed me they are difficult to get.

- I love the way this thing sounds. It is bad ass x 10.

- I get a ton of looks. I’ve never driven a vehicle that attracts so much attention. I love the cactus gray but I’m having a smidge of buyers remorse in not getting the green.

- leather seats are already breaking in after 1 week!

- road noise is definitely there but not at all what I was expecting. It’s not even a big deal to me.

- I can easily remove the hard top myself, love that! But the doors are a whole other story.

- I love how much space the back has, and I put a 6 foot tall person in the back right away and they had plenty of room. Again, others complain about this but I think it’s reasonable.

- the back seats fold down beautifully and I feel they were very smartly designed. I can definitely bring some stuff home after antiquing in this thing.

- the back up camera is ultra responsive. All the electronic details are more than satisfactory.

overall, I’m in love with this beauty. Still trying to decide on a name for her. Someone suggested Dominatrix because she’s so sexy.

Beautiful truck! Best of luck with it. Enjoy it to the fullest. :D
Chris here. I drive a 2-door Velocity Blue 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch, Lux, a 2.7L V6, and an automatic transmission. It’s fun.

Nice truck. Glad you are loving it. I have a SAS Badlands 4 door in Cactus Gray as well. The similarities stop about there. I'm a 5' 6" female in her 60's and need my right hip replaced and this is my daily driver. I will rock crawl it and do not want to give up the rock rails. I'm still waiting on steps that attach to the rails. 3 months. Bronco only took 4. Check out IAG. Lot of people getting those steps.
