Sorry if you actually canceled your order and didn't get a free sticker lol. I was so excited when this came in the mail thinking maybe it was a giant certificate with a build date on it lol. Nope

I got mine last week. (The sticker and print. Not a Bronco) Ha.
Still waiting. Though if a 4xe Gladiator is released for 2022, I'll order a Jeep.

Lol I was a bit apprehensive about getting the diesel, but I figured it's something different I wanted to experience before it's not an option in non-heavy duty trucks at all. I imagine the hybrid/electric trucks will become pretty nice in the next few years. It was hard to pick because I wanted something a bit more torquey and you can choose the 4xe for about $7,500 less if I'm able to get the tax credit or $4k more if I get the diesel. I ended up deciding to lease the diesel to see how I like it and also in case there is another ecodiesel scandal/problem that would devalue it or something in the first few years lol.

I don't really care about the eco aspect of the 4xe.

I like the 375 hp / 470 ft-lbs with reasonable fuel costs.

Yeah, they may sort out the Bronco's soon enough so if you can wait you may as well.

I went to the Ford dealership to see if they would have any incentive to turn my leased F150 in a few months early. When I got there the lot was nearly empty with like 1 2021 f150 and a few 2015-17 F150's where there is normally a row of like 20+ New F150s. They gave me $7500 to just give them my leased 2018 F150 back a few months early which cost them like $34,500 and they have it for sale for like $37,500. Car market is insane. When I was there I popped in one of the managers rooms I knew handles all of the ordered Bronco's and the same cheery guy that sold me a Bronco last year and Was all excited about the one he ordered too just shook his head when I asked if he even knew anything about his order (he ordered July 13th 2020 the minute orders opened).

Needless to say I went to jeep and they said 4-6 weeks for a new one and even though there were concerns about the shutdown at the gladiator factory last week, mine is being shipped and should be here any day.

I bought a 2020 F150 in August last year. I can wholesale auction it right now for what I paid for it new after A plan discount and with 20k miles on it.

If i could replace it with a 2021, I'd do it in a heartbeat. My salesman buddy has been looking for a few months. He actually called me Friday. They had a red and tan Lariat that came in. I passed because of the colors, it sold Saturday.

I'm a new Gladiator owner as well, thank you Ford! After being told current deliveries on the Bronco, seeing one in person and needing a new work truck sooner than expected, I took the plunge.

Thought I'd be disappointed in the lack of horsepower - my DD is a '18 Mustang GT convertible with the GT Performance Package - but I'm surprisingly OK with overall pickup and performance.

This thing is a money pit though Now I get my wife's obsession with add-on purchases.

I might have spoke too soon. My jeep has been done for a while now. and every time I ask when it will be here they give me a date range of two week starting one week from now lol. Uhh I was willing to spite ford and come to Jeep but now I don't know where to go from here. I just want to drive to Toledo and pick it up because 400 miles in 2021 and I'm over here feeling like I'm waiting for my Colt Single Action to travel west on the Transcontinental Railroad

Nice pic ! What's the wheel/ tire package your running ?

I just got a Bronco flag in the mail from Ford. Kind of useless. I'll be putting it on my town's "Everything is Free" Facebook group.

I like the print and the hammock much better.

The funny thing is I cancelled my Bronco reservation 2 months ago.

Thanks. Warn Epic 17" Wheels. I've added black lugs and painted the center cap Black with red inserts, for a bit of color.

The Tires are Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35s. Which are surprisingly no louder than the 33" stock package. Even at highway speed, they are (relatively) quiet.
