I changed my order and received mine Aug of 2021 I will order another one when other options are available By the way I will get what I paid for it 2 years from now so change your order get what they build and enjoy it...12k miles on mine now it's awesome

@@grimreefer5159 … absolutely spot on! I’m not going to say that videos like this do not have any value, but the advice given has to be taken with a little bit of skepticism. I won’t pretend to know everything about lifting off-road vehicles, but I’m not so keen on spacer/puck-style lift kits. If I wanted to put larger tires on my rig I would swap out the shocks, springs, control arms, track bar, tie rods, etc. … but I don’t. Mine has 35” tires from the factory(or 315/70R17, since they want to be specific) and everything else that came with the package. I’m in no rush to throw on stuff. I figure better things will come out in due time.
I made the video at the 9min point. Thank you Mitchell and all the T&C Ford, TCCustoms guys and gals! You guys are great and keep up the great content!
This type of vehicle is about ordering what you want. I'll wait for what I want and I will be one of the people that wont say "I wish I would have...."
I respectfully disagree with some of this. I bought a soft top big bend without sas because of "constraints" and I got my bronco after a lot of nicer ones at my dealer. The thing that shows me is that no one knows anything about how this process works. I should have just bought what I wanted.
This video just makes me appreciate my Bronco even more. Day 1 reservation, converted to order in March 2021, took delivery this past January. Hard top, 2.7, Badlands, Sasquatch, high option, tow package. Totally worth the wait.
I am one of those who need the 7 pin to tow my off grid Expedition 2.0 Trailer. So yes I need to wait from the factory. As much as I want my build now, patience makes the heart grow fonder . I will wait! Keep up the great videos
I took delivery last week after reserving October 2020. It's a Black Diamond with all the options available. So glad I waited and got the build I wanted.
I just took delivery of my Bronco on Sunday (only waited about 4 months from placing my order). This was about half as long a time as I expected. What made it happen, and my advise to anyone, is this: find yourself a great dealership (one that does a higher volume that gets more order allocations) and a sales person who is knowledgeable on these things, just like these guys. I love watching Mitchell (and the TC team) because I can hear the passion for these vehicles and for helping people get just what they want (and I wish I lived close enough to pay them a visit). Because my guys took the time to explain what things would hold up my order and helped me narrow down what was most important to me, I got one of the faster orders they said they’ve seen come through. Did I get everything I hoped for? Nope. But, guys and gals, I frickin’ LOVE this thing! The best Bronco is the one in your garage (and what you drive on the trails).
I ordered in January got my bronco in May. MIC, Sasquatch, badlands, Lux, tow, modular bumper with brush guard 7speed manual . Pretty much everything that holds up an order.
I would never and have never ordered a vehicle without the factory options I want. I get what your saying but I will wait for my 2 door Wildtrak with HOSS
Ford wouldn’t even take my order, however, I see this as a blessing seeing how bad dealerships are marking up trucks. Fortunately, there are other places to buy a car.
I love my soft top. Took delivery last November and had the rear windows out the first night. Finally put them back in about 3 weeks ago to prep for the Arizona summer. The top is off on our a Badlands every day…until it became 100°+ out here. LOL. As for waiting. We waited 18 months for ours. Badlands SAS Lux 2.7 w/tow package.
@@imagin916 I installed a GearShade bimini the day after we brought the Bronco home. It’s never been taken off Actually, its’s still on right now, even though the soft top is up. A bimini is an absolute must.
Thanks as always for the great information. Thanks in part to you and Dave from ATN, I made the decision to switch my 2Dr badlands 7sp manual lux order to the Everglades in hopes of getting a build and VIN. It worked build week is August 8th and have my VIN. Really excited!
Love that color on that Bronco plus all of the accessories. A friend of ours owns a Jeep Wrangler four door plus she works at our local Ford Dealership. When Ford first advertised the new Bronco she thought she wanted one until the dealership finally got one in & she got to drive it, she changed her mind, we asked why she said first her Jeep is paid for, it’s trouble free, & that the Bronco isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Number two is the ones that have sold have been in the shop more times than been on the road, the customers get mad and sell them. Keep the contents coming and stay cool
Thanks for the insight. Fortunately we bought ours of the lot. But with that said I have built different cars for years like jeeps . So I know there would be things I wanted to do to it. I’m a Ford guy and knew they build a great product. But the aftermarket world has great upgrades. With that said I like to build it not just buy it . I thank your that way to to a degree/ love your channel. Thanks for all the insight.
I just bought a 2022 Ford Bronco Black Diamond Sasquatch on 2/27/23. I bought it off the lot. I didn’t really think seriously about getting a Bronco until just very recently. Luckily Marshall Ford in Marshall Texas had the one I wanted. I’m very impressed with it! I have no plans to take it off-road. I just like cruising around town.
This is a very kool looking bronco I like it hands down and your feedback / vids are great as always, truly ty... but the #1 reason I ditched my ram is cause looking under it was about the same as looking @1:15 ... just makes me clench my teeth seeing surface rust on a rig this young ... great vid keep em coming ...
2 things: Order what you want. My salesman was just like these guys-telling me I’d never get my 2-dr., BD, hardtop, Sas., w/roof rack and mod. bumper-I got it in 6 months. So don’t compromise, just order it. It’s mostly luck. Lastly, be careful putting all this aftermarket stuff on your Bronco. I’ve done that with 2 Jeeps, and I didn’t learn my lesson after the first one: ALL the aftermarket parts WILL rust first and FAST. Trust.
I love awkward moment in phone calls Mitchell “This is Mitchell Watts with TC Customs, how are you doing today?” Michael “you gotta be kidding me, hey Mitchell” Mitchell “I’m, I’m good man, good”
Thanks for the great info as always! Every time I consider changing anything on my order, the Ford Marketing reps tell me that Ford is committed to delivering all 2022 orders in 2022, and have told me to only make changes if I no longer want the options as opposed to sacrificing options to expedite my vehicle delivery. Curious to see if Ford is actually capable of producing all of their 2022 orders like they are claiming. I really do not want to re-order in 2023 (and probably won't, will go Jeep if that's the case).
I have a 2022 order and was told 2 weeks ago from my dealer that if I didn't remove the Hard top, I would have to re-order for 2023 since all hard tops have been allocated for 2022 and my order wasn't one of them. Remove the hard top and I "might" have my Bronco built for 2022
I have a Wildtrak/LUX/MIC. Really appreciate the explanation of constraints between models. Very relative and you have helped me make some decisions. Great job. Keep it up.
Reserved 2 door Base manual hard top summer of 2020. Put in actual order December of 2020 and was supposed to get it spring of 2021. Got pushed off and pushed off so long they upgraded me to a 2022 model no extra charge. Got mine last March and I love it. Ordered it with the modular front bumper, roof rails, block heater, and aux switches. Area 51. ( I actually originally ordered it in Antimatter Blue but that became unavailable so I went with Area 51 which I still love).
I thought the same on the trailer brakes... until I spent 11 days straight in Colorado around Telluride. No matter the weight you want extra brakes to help.
Hey guys! I placed an order with yall about 6 months ago to order the Bronco and your dealership never ordered it for me so now I am out a Bronco. Thanks a bunch! Youll be hearing from my lawyer Alberto Aday
Ordered a base model with the sasquatch and overhead switches as my only 2 options over a year ago, got nothing but supply chain excuses as to why the build never got started. The build still hasn't been started, never got the email with my vin or what have you. My guess is that people who ordered base model are getting shafted so they can pump out the upper level models that bring in more money. I gave up a few weeks ago and bought a 4runner. Thing will probably outlast the Bronco by 100k any who.
I'm in the same boat! I ordered a base and have heard nothing. I told my lady that I'm going to keep my order but in the meantime I'm going to get a 4Runner. When the bronco comes I'm just going to sell it
I ordered a Wildtrak, SAS, Hi package with trailer hitch on 8/5/20 (2 yrs.) and last week recieved notification it was going to production and will recieve in September. Hope Ford was mindful enough to fix some of the issues that have been noted on utube to make it worth the wait.
So I picked my bronco up today and seen Mitchell spoke but didn’t really say anything but will say that this bronco is totally badass!!!! And I got my black diamond 2 door eruption at msrp and I appreciate town and country so much for doing so!👍🏻
Reserved mine July 18, 2020. Ordered it first time in March 2021, then they made me re-order in October 2021 but then picked her up on March 31, 2022… but it was def worth it. Even the guys at the dealership were surprised. Like 3 of them had broncos on order that hadn’t gotten there’s, they said only one other hardtop had came through there so everyone wanted to check it out… 4dr Area 51 hardtop, Outer banks, 2.7L, Sas, high pckg with mod front bumper… love it. Even to this day, I mainly only see nonsquatch soft tops here in Houston…
This video makes me understand why dealers are charging markups. Snagged a 2 door wildtrak with all the bells and whistles - lux package, factory tow setup, bigger engine, and the hard top. Had to pay 7k over sticker for it though...
My wife and I ordered our Broncos at the same time in August 2021 and I got my Badlands just 90 days after her Outer Banks. We both have the 4dr hardtops, high package but hers has leather. So I basically waited 90 short days for a sasquatch package, modular bumper, tow package and 2.7 (hers is 2.3). Yes there's some delay but It's well worth that small wait as regret continues far past that delivery date.
My patience is about to payoff. My bronco is built and supposed to be shipped to my dealer between 15 and 21 November. I stuck to my order and now I am going to get it exactly how I wanted it.
Day 2 reservation holder finalized my order in January of 2021. Didn't take delivery until may of 2022 almost a year later then was promised. For the record we got a Black diamond with. 1. Sasqatch 2.tow package 3.hardtop 4.2.7 liter engine. Had to wait longer than we planned but I wouldn't cut options you want just to get it early.
i ordered mine all wrong- base w/sasquatch, 2.7, aux switches, 2 door, modular bumper. finally got word a week ago that it's scheduled for build 8/29. that's over 2 years from when i put in my reservation.
I ordered in 2021. Since then my local dealership changed my order without my knowledge from the lux package to a mid without telling me. It has the Sasquatch on it, but they dropped the lux and other stuff. I week before Ford notified me that it is scheduled for production on 3/16/23 and I now have a VIN number, the same dealership called and offered me a cancelled order a week before I got the email from Ford. That vehicle was offered at 10K over MSRP. When I noticed on the email from Ford that it had the mid I asked asked the dealership about the dropping of the Lux package from my order, they initially tried to say FORD did it. I asked for a copy of the order they submitted and then after asking me to come back later due to printer issues. I was sent a cell phone photo, I could see they submitted the order with mid instead of Lux. I have all the copies, emails, and documentation of each of the original orders with the Lux. I know I could have upgraded to accommodate if they had dropped the Sasquatch Package, but am wondering if I can do anything to compensate for some of the LUX features being dropped from my Badlands -Sasquatch Package.
22 Wild Trak base model here. I postponed 21 order to get in front of 22 line. It was built in Dec 21 and delivered in Jan 22. I think that aftermarket options are going to keep it going for years to come.
See this video again in my feed - I'm one of the few who did not compromise. 18 months later, it has arrived at the dealership.... It's mine on Friday 😁😁
I had a Bronco black diamond on order for a while and never even got as vin. Novelty wore off and went with a Camaro SS 1LE 6M that I will be picking up at the dealer in 2weeks
Buddy has been waiting a year and he only ordered a base trim 2.3EB Manual with only two options. Hardtop and optional bumper. He has been told several times he could have an earlier build slot if he will take a soft top and base bumper.
Literally where i come for all bronco updates, thanks guys, once my 5.0 is paid off I'm getting a Bronco. Maybe in a year they'll be easier to get... MAYBE
Frankly, given the amount Ford charges for a bronco, it’s obscene for them to leave the supply chain issues unsolved. I own ford shares, but I’ll still say, if ford, at this point, isn’t willing to invest in solving their supply chain issues, buy something else. They’ve done a disservice to their customers. Just my two cents.
Reserved 8/2020. Ordered 10/2021. Took delivery of my two door lux auto Bad Lands 3/2022. 150 days from “ order” to my garage. Consider this pretty good considering.
I'm still in shock that I got my Badlands Sasquatch Lux with the modular bumper way back in December! I just went over 7k miles on it. I intentionally optioned it with the 2.3L which has been fantastic, the soft top and no tow package since from what I understood were the big holdups. It is absolutely amazing as a daily driver, and epic on the trail! Worth the year and a half long wait easily!
@@bluwasabi7635 I test drove a demo vehicle with the 2.3L and honestly thought it was the V6, changed my order to the 2.3 that same day and my order got picked up almost immediately. I got it with the automatic transmission as well, I couldn't test drive a manual and was worried it would drive like a manual wrangler with the long shift throws, which I cannot stand. The 2.3L has plenty of pickup and has been a great motor so far, I was trying to order my Bronco with everything I had to have like the Sasquatch and Lux package, but things I could live without to get it quicker, like the hard top and 2.7L
Because of what you just said about my Bronco order I am canceling tomorrow and ordering a Jeep which I was told I will have in 9 weeks. I've been waiting 14 months for the Bronco with not a word about when it would be here
Hang in there Darren, I have waited 18 months and got notified in June my Bronco would be built in August. I recently got a Jeep Wrangler, so best of both worlds.
Mitchell when do you think Ford will add ventilated seats and rear ac vents in the Bronco? in the hotter climate of the middle east where I come from it can reach 122F in the summer and these features are a must!
I scratched a door and not sure how i'll pay to fix it while some guys think of buying a best top while they already paid for a soft top... basacally having 8k to throw away... I wish I was this rich. This said I'm happy for you.
By the way Mitchell I enjoy your videos have been a sub for a long time. Just one of those guys that wants what I want. I own a 1973 bronco and is accessorized to the hilt. I will eccessorise my Wildtrak w/Hoss when I get it. I have an F150 platinum and have the Fab-tec 6" lift and running 37x13.50 toyo m/t's. Do really like the front bumper.
Ordered Day 1, converted to order in March 2021, took delivery in Nov 2021, put 5,300 miles on it so far. Went to Off-Roadeo (that is an amazing trip) and at 5,050 miles, blew the fuel pump. Sat in the shop for almost 3 weeks waiting on parts (supply chain). It's a fun ride! 2021 A51 Blue Badsquatch, Lux, tow, soft-top.
@@TCcustoms_ Wow, Great to see someone at your level doing these videos and so enthusiastic about your product! Nice job! I'm in the car business as well that's why I ask. You don't see this everyday.
So another words I should have never switched to the Everglades trim because it come with modular bumper for the winch , the Sasquatch package, 12 inch screen and the hard top. So Ford should have never offered the Everglades edition with all the constraints problems with most of the parts that come on the Everglades.
I'd consider the soft top if I didn't live in PA in arctic winter hell. The factory soft tops just don't fit that great on the sides. Seeing the video of the snow blowing into the bronco broke it for me. I dropped towing, but I can't lose the top.
reserved 7/14/20 ordered 1/21 ordered AGAIN 10/21 built 6/30/22 I pick up my Badlands with Sasquatch, V6, high package and MIC top next week. It's a 10 hour trip to the dealer but I'm -$1000 below invoice, YES BELOW INVOICE. I'm getting a LOADED Badlands for $52700... The main thing messing people up in getting their order is Ford's screwed up allocation system and all their orders going to big dealers that rip folks off with surprise adm.
@@Wasabi9111 there are like 2 dealers in the country that was doing it for reservation holders. My sticker price is $57800 so after my Ford price protection and my below invoice deal I'm saving over $5000 on a highly sought after trim and options package. In this day that's amazing. I already got the paperwork and everything. There was no funny business, 100% legit.
The hardtop is a deal breaker for me but i have a question that hasn't really been answered by any bronco videos. I understand that if i get soft top, the wiring that connects to the rear shell of the hard top is not set up for a switch to hardtop later. Is it possible to get the electric wiring retrofitted to be set up for when i get a hardtop later on?
My daughter has ordered one in 21, no delivery. Had to reorder for 22. Then she was told to change her order to get it faster, still has not received it. I thought the purpose of a factory order was just that. So now you guys are trying to get people to go to TC customs
Finally someone mentions the real difference behind the sasquatch vs badlands options. their suspension is the same, it's literally just tire size and gear ratio that change.
This was a helpful video but could you give me a recommendation on a specific build? I'm wanting to order a 2 door Outer Banks with the High package, no other options. Would this combination be difficult to get?
Well, today is one year on my order which was for the BIG BEND with the Sasquatch package, hard top and 4 door configuration! I thought I would get it quicker by ordering this model and I changed my order to have the dealer install my running boards and 4pin hitch!!! But still no word!!
About the towing capacity. I have towed with 3 manual Ford focus', a lot of the time around twice the "recommended"(1200 Lbs.) capacity and never an issue with the cars. Towing the same or more weight with a manual Bronco and it is like I am not towing anything. The more limiting factor of tow capacity is the length of the trailer's wheelbase Vs. the tow vehicles wheelbase. The longer a trailers wheelbase the easier it is to jack knife. Some important info that is not easily obtainable and should be on door jams. I found out about this from a friend that sued a camper dealership for selling him a camper that was too long for hi SUV.
I completely understand a good dealership trying to make the best of a bad situation, move more vehicles, and make more customers happy. That said, Ford corporate has so royally screwed over its customers that this one really hates the company now. My reservation was almost two full years ago. My Black Diamond order was just a standard mid level trim when I ordered it. The only thing I had to have was a tow package. That's just about the most everyday run-of-the-mill option for an SUV. The hard top was standard. The steel bumper was standard. Two years later my dealer is telling me I want a unicorn. I'm so sick of this that I may never buy another Ford in my life... if I ever get the one I reserved in August of 2020 and ordered as soon as they opened to order banks, and re-ordered as soon as they told me I had to roll to another year. Now I'm told I will never get my Bronco. Horrible.
I ordered mine on March 4th. - 4door, Soft top, 334A, Badlands, Sasquatch, Tow and steel Bumper... Soooo... Pretty much every option that will hod it up. Still haven't even got a confirmation email from Ford, even though the dealer assures me the order was accepted by Ford. It sucks that you have to start knocking off options. If I wanted a base model, I would have ordered a base model.
Absolutely! It is only required if you don't have a reservation though. And since we haven't been able to take a new Bronco order in about 5 months, haven't had to do COVP in a long time for Bronco. It will be required when they open up 2023s.

They told me 2023 for my 2022 Bronco order. I ordered January 11, 2022.
Looks like you will be driving a jeep.
I have a Wildtrak/LUX/MIC. Really appreciate the explanation of constraints between models. Very relative and you have helped me make some decisions. Great job. Keep it up.
Reserved 2 door Base manual hard top summer of 2020. Put in actual order December of 2020 and was supposed to get it spring of 2021. Got pushed off and pushed off so long they upgraded me to a 2022 model no extra charge. Got mine last March and I love it. Ordered it with the modular front bumper, roof rails, block heater, and aux switches. Area 51. ( I actually originally ordered it in Antimatter Blue but that became unavailable so I went with Area 51 which I still love).
I have order the big bend on feb.2 and only to options holding me are the hard top and 2.7l and still no update 😢
I thought the same on the trailer brakes... until I spent 11 days straight in Colorado around Telluride. No matter the weight you want extra brakes to help.
Also great video as always.
Hey guys! I placed an order with yall about 6 months ago to order the Bronco and your dealership never ordered it for me so now I am out a Bronco. Thanks a bunch! Youll be hearing from my lawyer Alberto Aday
Expect to hear from us within 1 week.
Congrats Michael on the full build win.
I love the 2021 simple all black leather. Would love to see that come back for 2023 if my order gets rolled.
what color is that? I ordered Cactus grey.....but that color is nice. Leadfoot grey? I just received my order summery from Ford and may change color.
Ordered a base model with the sasquatch and overhead switches as my only 2 options over a year ago, got nothing but supply chain excuses as to why the build never got started. The build still hasn't been started, never got the email with my vin or what have you. My guess is that people who ordered base model are getting shafted so they can pump out the upper level models that bring in more money. I gave up a few weeks ago and bought a 4runner. Thing will probably outlast the Bronco by 100k any who.
I'm in the same boat! I ordered a base and have heard nothing. I told my lady that I'm going to keep my order but in the meantime I'm going to get a 4Runner. When the bronco comes I'm just going to sell it
This has gotta be the best ford dealer I’ve ever heard of. Talk about a complete setup!
I ordered a Wildtrak, SAS, Hi package with trailer hitch on 8/5/20 (2 yrs.) and last week recieved notification it was going to production and will recieve in September. Hope Ford was mindful enough to fix some of the issues that have been noted on utube to make it worth the wait.
So I picked my bronco up today and seen Mitchell spoke but didn’t really say anything but will say that this bronco is totally badass!!!! And I got my black diamond 2 door eruption at msrp and I appreciate town and country so much for doing so!👍🏻
Reserved mine July 18, 2020. Ordered it first time in March 2021, then they made me re-order in October 2021 but then picked her up on March 31, 2022… but it was def worth it. Even the guys at the dealership were surprised. Like 3 of them had broncos on order that hadn’t gotten there’s, they said only one other hardtop had came through there so everyone wanted to check it out…
4dr Area 51 hardtop, Outer banks, 2.7L, Sas, high pckg with mod front bumper… love it. Even to this day, I mainly only see nonsquatch soft tops here in Houston…
This video makes me understand why dealers are charging markups. Snagged a 2 door wildtrak with all the bells and whistles - lux package, factory tow setup, bigger engine, and the hard top. Had to pay 7k over sticker for it though...
Had mine for nearly 8 months now and love it !
My wife and I ordered our Broncos at the same time in August 2021 and I got my Badlands just 90 days after her Outer Banks. We both have the 4dr hardtops, high package but hers has leather. So I basically waited 90 short days for a sasquatch package, modular bumper, tow package and 2.7 (hers is 2.3). Yes there's some delay but It's well worth that small wait as regret continues far past that delivery date.
My patience is about to payoff. My bronco is built and supposed to be shipped to my dealer between 15 and 21 November. I stuck to my order and now I am going to get it exactly how I wanted it.
im honestly about just cancel my order..... one year is just stupid
Day 2 reservation holder finalized my order in January of 2021. Didn't take delivery until may of 2022 almost a year later then was promised. For the record we got a Black diamond with.
1. Sasqatch
2.tow package
3.hardtop
4.2.7 liter engine.
Had to wait longer than we planned but I wouldn't cut options you want just to get it early.
i ordered mine all wrong- base w/sasquatch, 2.7, aux switches, 2 door, modular bumper. finally got word a week ago that it's scheduled for build 8/29. that's over 2 years from when i put in my reservation.
I ordered in 2021. Since then my local dealership changed my order without my knowledge from the lux package to a mid without telling me. It has the Sasquatch on it, but they dropped the lux and other stuff. I week before Ford notified me that it is scheduled for production on 3/16/23 and I now have a VIN number, the same dealership called and offered me a cancelled order a week before I got the email from Ford. That vehicle was offered at 10K over MSRP. When I noticed on the email from Ford that it had the mid I asked asked the dealership about the dropping of the Lux package from my order, they initially tried to say FORD did it. I asked for a copy of the order they submitted and then after asking me to come back later due to printer issues. I was sent a cell phone photo, I could see they submitted the order with mid instead of Lux. I have all the copies, emails, and documentation of each of the original orders with the Lux. I know I could have upgraded to accommodate if they had dropped the Sasquatch Package, but am wondering if I can do anything to compensate for some of the LUX features being dropped from my Badlands -Sasquatch Package.
Is the bumper compatible with the ACC module and parking sensors?
This bumper has the parking sensors. They also happen to sell an ACC relocation kit that we haven’t tested
22 Wild Trak base model here. I postponed 21 order to get in front of 22 line. It was built in Dec 21 and delivered in Jan 22. I think that aftermarket options are going to keep it going for years to come.
That fab four bumper is very sleek and good looking
We agree!
Modular bumper and a 2 door with a hard top lux package wasn't a constraint when I got my bronco built in 4 months.
Cancelled my Bronco order. Built a 2022 Rubicon XTreme Recon package, fully loaded all options. 10k under MSRP. Took 5 months but I’m in it now.
See this video again in my feed - I'm one of the few who did not compromise. 18 months later, it has arrived at the dealership.... It's mine on Friday 😁😁
I had a Bronco black diamond on order for a while and never even got as vin. Novelty wore off and went with a Camaro SS 1LE 6M that I will be picking up at the dealer in 2weeks
It only took 11 months. Black Badlands with sasquatch,lux,tow,with hardtop. The wait was long but worth it. 3 days old today.
Buddy has been waiting a year and he only ordered a base trim 2.3EB Manual with only two options. Hardtop and optional bumper. He has been told several times he could have an earlier build slot if he will take a soft top and base bumper.
Literally where i come for all bronco updates, thanks guys, once my 5.0 is paid off I'm getting a Bronco. Maybe in a year they'll be easier to get... MAYBE
Frankly, given the amount Ford charges for a bronco, it’s obscene for them to leave the supply chain issues unsolved. I own ford shares, but I’ll still say, if ford, at this point, isn’t willing to invest in solving their supply chain issues, buy something else. They’ve done a disservice to their customers. Just my two cents.
Reserved 8/2020. Ordered 10/2021. Took delivery of my two door lux auto Bad Lands 3/2022. 150 days from “ order” to my garage. Consider this pretty good considering.
I order a badlands sasquatch, high package, soft top in Nov of 2021 and picked up mine on March 2022. I love the soft top, not a problem.
I'm still in shock that I got my Badlands Sasquatch Lux with the modular bumper way back in December! I just went over 7k miles on it. I intentionally optioned it with the 2.3L which has been fantastic, the soft top and no tow package since from what I understood were the big holdups. It is absolutely amazing as a daily driver, and epic on the trail! Worth the year and a half long wait easily!
wait...why the 2.3L over the other engine? Manual?
@@bluwasabi7635 I test drove a demo vehicle with the 2.3L and honestly thought it was the V6, changed my order to the 2.3 that same day and my order got picked up almost immediately. I got it with the automatic transmission as well, I couldn't test drive a manual and was worried it would drive like a manual wrangler with the long shift throws, which I cannot stand. The 2.3L has plenty of pickup and has been a great motor so far, I was trying to order my Bronco with everything I had to have like the Sasquatch and Lux package, but things I could live without to get it quicker, like the hard top and 2.7L
Imagine my dad winning the giving away and he actually did💪
Because of what you just said about my Bronco order I am canceling tomorrow and ordering a Jeep which I was told I will have in 9 weeks. I've been waiting 14 months for the Bronco with not a word about when it would be here
Hang in there Darren, I have waited 18 months and got notified in June my Bronco would be built in August. I recently got a Jeep Wrangler, so best of both worlds.
I ordered a base 2dr Sasquatch in January in 2021 and still waiting
Mitchell when do you think Ford will add ventilated seats and rear ac vents in the Bronco? in the hotter climate of the middle east where I come from it can reach 122F in the summer and these features are a must!
I scratched a door and not sure how i'll pay to fix it while some guys think of buying a best top while they already paid for a soft top... basacally having 8k to throw away... I wish I was this rich. This said I'm happy for you.
Yep, I ordered a 2 door badlands Sasquatch with tow package - been waiting for 18 months. Not going to get it until 23-24
Something got sucked into your head at like 28:20. What was that? Great video BTW.
I went with the Base and decided to build it up. Kind of wish I went with the Black Diamond.
By the way Mitchell I enjoy your videos have been a sub for a long time. Just one of those guys that wants what I want. I own a 1973 bronco and is accessorized to the hilt. I will eccessorise my Wildtrak w/Hoss when I get it. I have an F150 platinum and have the Fab-tec 6" lift and running 37x13.50 toyo m/t's. Do really like the front bumper.
Hey Mitchell, I’m 5 foot 3 😂 …just sayin’. Love your content and always appreciate the info. 👍🏼😎
Ordered Day 1, converted to order in March 2021, took delivery in Nov 2021, put 5,300 miles on it so far. Went to Off-Roadeo (that is an amazing trip) and at 5,050 miles, blew the fuel pump. Sat in the shop for almost 3 weeks waiting on parts (supply chain). It's a fun ride! 2021 A51 Blue Badsquatch, Lux, tow, soft-top.
Great info and videos! Are you the GM or Owner of the Dealership?
Both.
@@TCcustoms_ Wow, Great to see someone at your level doing these videos and so enthusiastic about your product! Nice job! I'm in the car business as well that's why I ask. You don't see this everyday.
What bumper is that and how much is it
So another words I should have never switched to the Everglades trim because it come with modular bumper for the winch , the Sasquatch package, 12 inch screen and the hard top. So Ford should have never offered the Everglades edition with all the constraints problems with most of the parts that come on the Everglades.
I'd consider the soft top if I didn't live in PA in arctic winter hell. The factory soft tops just don't fit that great on the sides. Seeing the video of the snow blowing into the bronco broke it for me. I dropped towing, but I can't lose the top.
Once again another great video
Hey guys..as always, thanks for the great content.
reserved 7/14/20
ordered 1/21
ordered AGAIN 10/21
built 6/30/22
I pick up my Badlands with Sasquatch, V6, high package and MIC top next week. It's a 10 hour trip to the dealer but I'm -$1000 below invoice, YES BELOW INVOICE. I'm getting a LOADED Badlands for $52700...
The main thing messing people up in getting their order is Ford's screwed up allocation system and all their orders going to big dealers that rip folks off with surprise adm.
Nice! How did you manage to get it below invoice?
@@Wasabi9111 there are like 2 dealers in the country that was doing it for reservation holders. My sticker price is $57800 so after my Ford price protection and my below invoice deal I'm saving over $5000 on a highly sought after trim and options package. In this day that's amazing. I already got the paperwork and everything. There was no funny business, 100% legit.
The hardtop is a deal breaker for me but i have a question that hasn't really been answered by any bronco videos. I understand that if i get soft top, the wiring that connects to the rear shell of the hard top is not set up for a switch to hardtop later. Is it possible to get the electric wiring retrofitted to be set up for when i get a hardtop later on?
My bronco is built, but it’s been in “storage” for over a month. It did say they are trying to guarantee delivery within 90 days…
My daughter has ordered one in 21, no delivery. Had to reorder for 22. Then she was told to change her order to get it faster, still has not received it. I thought the purpose of a factory order was just that. So now you guys are trying to get people to go to TC customs
Please do a video on the fixed cargo lockable enclosure and the high rise cargo lockable enclosure! Thanks
Love the videos! Great information. Any idea if Ford is going to build a pick up version of the Bronco?
With the ranger and the F150 AND the maverick in their lineup? I’d bet 99.9% chance that’s a no.
@@TellurdogIsayhi probably so but I think it would be cool build and that there would be a good amount of buyers.
Finally someone mentions the real difference behind the sasquatch vs badlands options. their suspension is the same, it's literally just tire size and gear ratio that change.
Badlands gives you sway bar disconnect, too.
Didn’t see the link for the tailgate tire move item.
This was a helpful video but could you give me a recommendation on a specific build? I'm wanting to order a 2 door Outer Banks with the High package, no other options. Would this combination be difficult to get?
2 doors are slower, but the options you select shouldn't be an issue!
@@TCcustoms_ thanks! Gotta have a 2 door.
Well, today is one year on my order which was for the BIG BEND with the Sasquatch package, hard top and 4 door configuration! I thought I would get it quicker by ordering this model and I changed my order to have the dealer install my running boards and 4pin hitch!!! But still no word!!
That soft top is a no-go here in Houston Texas. I can already see someone putting a knife through that soft top out here.
Again, the information you Gentlemen provided, has made my designs a lot easier. Excellent Advice and Info.
Thank You!
What paint color is this Bronco? Where did Mitchell wrap his Bronco?
What does a stock four-door bronco Weigh in at?
About the towing capacity. I have towed with 3 manual Ford focus', a lot of the time around twice the "recommended"(1200 Lbs.) capacity and never an issue with the cars. Towing the same or more weight with a manual Bronco and it is like I am not towing anything.
The more limiting factor of tow capacity is the length of the trailer's wheelbase Vs. the tow vehicles wheelbase. The longer a trailers wheelbase the easier it is to jack knife. Some important info that is not easily obtainable and should be on door jams.
I found out about this from a friend that sued a camper dealership for selling him a camper that was too long for hi SUV.
So should I feel better that I ordered a base bronco manual with no options at all?
What bumper is that
When does the 2023 orders go live? I was told August
I got my Badlands Sasquatch 3.7 Lux Modular hardtop July 13th.
I completely understand a good dealership trying to make the best of a bad situation, move more vehicles, and make more customers happy. That said, Ford corporate has so royally screwed over its customers that this one really hates the company now. My reservation was almost two full years ago. My Black Diamond order was just a standard mid level trim when I ordered it. The only thing I had to have was a tow package. That's just about the most everyday run-of-the-mill option for an SUV. The hard top was standard. The steel bumper was standard. Two years later my dealer is telling me I want a unicorn. I'm so sick of this that I may never buy another Ford in my life... if I ever get the one I reserved in August of 2020 and ordered as soon as they opened to order banks, and re-ordered as soon as they told me I had to roll to another year. Now I'm told I will never get my Bronco. Horrible.
Soft tops are NOT practical in Midwest winters. And to get a nice one you have to buy 2, Ford’s crappy one and then a better Bestop.
I ordered mine on March 4th. - 4door, Soft top, 334A, Badlands, Sasquatch, Tow and steel Bumper... Soooo... Pretty much every option that will hod it up. Still haven't even got a confirmation email from Ford, even though the dealer assures me the order was accepted by Ford. It sucks that you have to start knocking off options. If I wanted a base model, I would have ordered a base model.
Mitchell, great info! Question: Does your dealership do the customer order verification process (COVP)for Broncos ordered at your dealership?
Absolutely! It is only required if you don't have a reservation though. And since we haven't been able to take a new Bronco order in about 5 months, haven't had to do COVP in a long time for Bronco. It will be required when they open up 2023s.
Why are there still supply chain issues? How long has it been since lockdowns?
My wife has been waiting over a year for her badlands with LUX package, soft top, and the rest is standard with a badlands
When do the ‘23 ordering banks open up?
