546 Days and Vanderhyde Ford Cedar Springs, MI

I guess this is the number I should play in the lotto tonight. Took delivery today. All appears to be in working order. I need a electronics degree to work everything. I thought my F-150 had a lot, this makes it look like my old 1995 Suburban. The ride is quieter then my JK. I played on a few driveway entrances to compare the front end of the Bronco to the JK, some better, but as they say time William tell. The color is different then all the pictures I have seen for the Hot Pepper Red. It has more of an orange tint then the red I saw in the photos. Because of that I ordered a blue one and told them they could have this one. I'm dumb, but not that dumb, IMO.

The reason for this thread is to thank Vanderhyde Ford in Cedar Springs, MI. "It's worth the ride to Vanderhyde". If you live in the Grand Rapids, MI area please take time to talk with them. Jacob was my salesman, very knowledgeable about the Bronco. Keith the Sales Mgr. was great to work with. No markups, not issues, no deposits, their word was golden. Keith told me they can't afford to alienate customers and they don't. Service depart is top notch. I have a F-150 I bought from them. All my service is done there. Fair pricing, done right the first time. They help you research issues, etc. Thanks to them for another great experience. The picture was about an hour after it was delivered. Here's to the Bronco, may it run for decades to come.

A quick update about my dealer. They will work with you anywhere in the country. They shipped a two door, not sure what model, to Montana.

Here is the truck about an hour after it was dropped off. Need to understand the paint. Why in pictures does it look red, in real life it is more an orange tint? Going to replace the hoop steps with some AMP steps for my wife.

Nice build! The HPR is beautiful! Looks different in different light. The Cactus Gray is that way too. Keeps it interesting imo.

It’s great to hear of positive experiences here. Too often those who had a great experience fail to share that, and we get the erroneous idea that there are more poor dealers than good dealers, which I doubt is true.

Hot pepper red is an amazing color. I miss having it greatly. Go out and have some adventures.

@MIGeezer congratulations on the new ride! A real beauty! One of the really interesting things about all of the colors, especially the ones with metallic in them is how different they will look under different lighting conditions.

Agree, my black Bronco Black Diamond looks really black at night.

Just sayin'

No salt tram towers were harmed in the making of this post...
