    ...will be soon! Hopefully hitting the trails by the last week of July. Will put 255/80/17 Toyo ATIII on it at the dealer. Waiting to see who is making coilovers for it. Right now only 4WP is advertising availability.

    All this hype getting us MT guys fired up - you’d better be making a build thread

    Yeah. Can’t wait to try it out. I’ve got a hill I have to use 4lo on in the Tacoma. Hoping the Bronco pulls it in first in 4 high.

    Well, still waiting. 100s, maybe 1000s of Broncos sitting in a lot undelivered because the hard tops are bad. They can't figure out how to make a removable hard top that doesn't start falling apart days after manufacture. Vehicles have had removable top since the 1960s but somehow Ford can't figure it out. Mines built sitting in a lot, waiting.

    No chance you could take delivery without the top?

    My thoughts exactly just as I was scrolling down to see this...
    I've had a couple over the years and one purchased brand new. I can't totally knock them.

    No. The 4 door has the option to have a soft top, but the 2 door is hard top only, and most 2 doors that have been built are sitting in a lot waiting. Some are passing the final QC checks, but not many.

    Maybe they will change suppliers to a company that can manufacturer the tops correctly.

    The current manufacturer of the molded-in-color top is Webasto, and they've been trying for well over a year to get up and running with a viable product. The early hard tops were hand made at a different location than the ones being mass produced now. Ford has already suspended the contract for additional smooth body color painted tops and found a different supplier, but it will be a year for them to be up to full production.

    This is my first Ford since the late 80s. I'm still excited about my Bronco, but this experience has not made me want to check out what else Ford has to offer.

    I know Toyota is better but my old Ranger lasted me 20 years and should still be on the road now.

    Don't know. Broncos that were built in mid June still don't have good tops to ship. Mine was built 7/13. Probably depends on where it's parked in the lot when they get good tops in.

    So I test drove a Bronco today, OBX ed., 4-door. Ford knocked it out of the park. There is so much attention to detail. I've owned Jeeps, Taco's, F-150's, Silveraydohs... this Bronco is smooth and the eco boost 2.7 is an animal.

    They have arrived here. I haven’t seen them in person yet. Not sure I’m digging it anymore. My buddy sent me these
