    Welcome the G...

    Gladiator, that is.

    So my husband got tired of a year and a half of no news on his Bronco build and no end in sight.

    On Nov 29th he placed an order for his Gladiator and on January 2nd it arrived. We picked it up this past Saturday.

    Congratulations!! Did you cancel your order for your Bronco?

    We have been waiting a year for ours too. Ford royally screwed over the Bronco release and the dealers are screwing the customers. It is a mess.

    Roger, the market out here is insane. I have customers that have paid upwards of $50k over MSRP on some of these vehicles

    Bronco ordering was a supply/demand problem and it was only made worse by the need to replace ALL of the composite removable hard tops. There was a manufacturing flaw that required them to hold all the unsold ones and replace all of those sold. Ford Says the Fix Is In for the Bronco Hardtop Problem

    I wasn't all that interested in Ford products because of build qualities I've witnessed personally, but lately they are 0-4 on big product releases. The latest gen Explorer/Aviator hit quality problems, The Mach-E ordering is a mess, Bronco has seen quality problem, Lightening has already pitted the automaker against the dealers.

    In all fairness, since dealerships are simply independent franchises Ford has very little control over the price gouging we see on some models. Dealerships are doing it almost universally with almost every high interest/low demand vehicle. Not all of them, but many are.

    Nice!

    My gf has the same color Sahara. She loves it.

    We call those "The Horse" for some reason. We're sully and weird sometimes.

    Congrats!
