Sooo excited! This is my first glimpse of my new 2023 Ford Bronco Wildtrak. Currently enroute to come home to mama. My no name Bronco (still working on that) was built on December 6th, 2022 and is expected to arrive Jan 4, 2023. A few days ago it was in Illinois. Saw others had received an assembly line photo built the same week as mine. Decided to check my junk folder this morning and sure enough! Had an unread email with this photo! Cannot stop smiling. I've been obsessed reading all the forums, window shopping for accessories and prepping my current car for sale. After 3 years of impatiently waiting I am so ready to be a first time Bronco owner!
I have been taking it slow with mods since these guys are relatively new to the aftermarket I don't want to rush anything major only to find something better comes to market 3 months later. My wardrobe has expanded to include lots of fun Bronco stuff thoughš ...Etsy is a good place to find unique items of clothing and decals etc among other things. I'll attach some pics but so far: Added retro "Bronco" badge and relocated Wildtrak badge, Rigid Fog/Driving lights to the pockets of the HD mod bumper--wired each pair to aux switches 4-5-6 so I can control how bright I amš . Color matched D-rings on front bumper, Added OEM running boards, added body armor that covers pinch seam and wraps up to help protect door sills, changed out assist handles to match body color, added retro spare tire cover, tinted windows, personalized tag. Hang in there, the real fun starts very soon!
Looks like Iāve got a long way to go yet!š¤£
Mine is a work in progress, just got it 2 days ago so Iām feeling Iām ahead of the gameā¦š
Looks like youāve got a lot of time and money invested, I do understand about not jumping the gun too soon, you are so correct on waiting because you never know if something comes out better or even cheaper.
Very nice looking!

Sorry to hear that!
It is a hit or miss on the photo, I think MAP flips a coin and thatās how they decide if youāre getting one or not.
I didnāt get mine until a couple of days after it showed up at the Dealership.

@JIOxfordWhite I do love how you didnāt cave in on the soft top.
My neighbor let me borrow his Bronco about a year ago and he has a softy, I can tell you āwhat a differenceā in sound comparison from the soft top to the hard.
Since we all got the insulation on the roof, I believe that makes a big difference in knocking down the exterior road noise.
Good for you in getting yourself the Hard Top.

That looks AMAZING! Love the mods - classy and subtle. Especially like the license plate. Is there an additional lift on it or is that only Sasquach? Indeed I have been financially contributing to the success of Etsy :sneaky: Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks. I couldn't compromise on the hard top living in the PNW. I remember when I put my first order in (2021) for the shadow black roof...LOL. That is now a distant memory. I did cave in on the tow package thinking it would help me get it faster. Thinking back I should have held out as I am seeing a number of Wildtraks built with them. BUT Santa brought me TWO! tow packages this Christmas. Both my husband and dad bought me them. FWIW I've been fortunate to watch my Dad take delivery of his '22 2dr base Bronco a couple months ago. He ordered it about 1.5 years after me, waited 10 months and it was built and delivered. Super happy for him and to see it in person. To say it burned more than a little is an understatement.

I don't know if dropping the Tow Package had anything to do with my rig getting scheduled for production four days after doing so, but you've gotta wonder if there's a connection or simply a coincidence. Regardless, I don't "need" the tow package anyway. I just need the tow hitch receiver, so I can mount a bike rack. I never had any concrete plans of acquiring a trailer requiring a power hookup. So, it's all good for me. And now my Bronco is on its way home, so all is good. ;)

Loving the blue highlightsā¦. Plasti-dip or commercial product?

Hey, since you got your pic, can you tell me who sent you the email? I'm curious about what I should look out for in my inbox, my SPAM folder, or my trash.
It's weird how some people get these pix right away while others do not, and even stranger how some can go for months before the email and pic suddenly shows up. Sometimes, it arrives long after someone has taken delivery! I'm trying to see a pattern, for what it's worth. Any insider information is welcome!

Same message I received - glad it wasn't just me. In true Ford fashion!

Totally agree! Don't need the wiring but I do need it for the bike rack.

Iām going out on a limb here and assume you are talking about mine, since Iām the only one showing blue accents.š¤£
Thanks for the compliment and very nice Assembly Line photo, A51 was my second choice if I couldnāt get VBā¦..
Very nice color!
They are actually from a PPF company called Stickerfab, you can find them very easily by doing a search on them or just type it in www.stickerfab.com.
The other accents are from eBay and the are molded plastic that you stick on and the form around the existing vents, cup holder, start button, window switches and so on.
Both Stickerfab and eBay have many different colors for your accenting of your Bronco.

I was always wondering the same thing if anyone else could open theirs.
All I would get is āthis is a private videoā and like you never saw any video.š
I tried everything, downloaded players, made an account with YouTube video, and so on but to no avail.
I too, like you also never got to see my video of my Bronco running down the Assembly Line.
