Quick review! Received my 4 door Cactus Gray Badlands w/ 2.7l yesterday. Is it awesome. yes Here are my details. Order 11/29/21- Updated order 12/1 (took off hardtop and tow) Received build date 12/10 which was the week of the 3/24. Built over 2 weeks. Gave a shipped week window of April 10- Arrived after that week- the following Thursday. All told about 5 months from order to pick up.
Here is my 1 day review and 3 things I noticed.
1. Is the soft top loud? In a word, yes. In 3 words, very much so. I have already noticed that it depends also on the direction of the wind when travelling. I spent roughly 30 mins of my trip from the dealership traveling west and only noticed cars when there were passing from the back 3rd of the vehicle, as soon as there were up to the glass they weren't that noticeable. The next 30 mins I traveled south and the wind noise was probably twice as loud. I live in coastal plains, so not a lot of big tree blockage, and windy from about March through August. Just remember its a convertible and your not getting it for the quiet ride. In town it's awesome.
2. Marine Grade Vinyl. Looks awesome, feels awesome. My only concern is that its April and when riding it for more any expending time it starts to feel a bit warm. I went mid package so no cooled seats and no electric seats, but I can live with it.
3. Short people are going to need a step. My wife is 5'4" and has already asked for side steps/running rails. I'm 5'8 and slide in with no problem tho' but it looks like I have a reason to go shopping!
4. Cup holders. There are 2. Nothing folds down on the back of the console, there are 2 stretchy pockets in the side of the door you could put a bottle in, but.. My son and I went to McDonalds. Had my coffee cup from the morning, got 2 cokes and a frap, and suddenly realized we were going to be holding a lot.
5. It says 17/17. So far 15.2 I am still playing with the eco/normal mode so who knows, but I didn't buy it for the gas mileage.
Hope this helps. Super pumped. Feel free to shoot questions if you have any.
On a side note. Someone from out of state so my vehicle had been delivered to the dealership and and wired 20k and told the dealership they would pay that much over msrp if they would sell it to them. I had a good dealership paid msrp. I think for the next year or so, it's going to be no order...no bronco.
