You're $10,000 over for the base model, $20,000 under for the first edition model. (Limited edition, 3500 sold out in 19 minutes, another 3500 sold out the next day in about the same time)....

I plan on adding the $10k undercoating for the base model.


What?
 
I'm a gearhead, but more specifically a Ford truck guy.

I can't buy one now, but knowing the specs, Jeep's butthole has tightened.

That being said, the Wrangler will soon be available with a 392 Hemi.

With its features, the Bronco seems to be a mix between the philosophy of a Wrangler and Raptor.

To me, it also looks cool as hell.

Just one thing I heard...
Most dealers are going to charge a huge markup, like 10-15k over msrp. I know a lot of dealers have said that they’re not going to mark them up for people who have them reserved, but I have heard that some will still try.

If you have owned a hundred or more shares of Ford for at least six months, Ford won’t let your dealer charge you over msrp. Ford stock is cheap, about $6.80 right now. I already had half of it, but I went ahead and picked up another 50 just in case. $680 is much better than paying that dealer markup. Worst case scenario, your dealer doesn’t mark up the reserved broncos, 100 shares of Ford is not a bad thing to have. There’s still time to get it, they won’t hit the lots til spring of next year. If you don’t have any type of brokerage acct, the Robin Hood app can get you started in a few minutes.

Might be worth a phone call to whichever dealer you made your reservation through to ask about a dealer markup.
 
I haven't been on there in a long time, but I frequented Pirate4x4 for years. It's a hardcore offroad site, or at least used to be.

For y'all that are interested in getting one of these, a guy had a post in the Ford forum about a dealership he was buddies with selling Raptors and I believe Gt350s too at market.

I think it was in a thread about a Raptor build. It may be worth joining and testing your search skills to save some $$$.

Pretty sure dealers have had their employees reserve them so that they will have a few in stock to sell, I would imagine these are the ones that will get the mark ups, hell I would. If they try to mark up pre orders I'd imagine Ford would not be happy about it...

I would hope so, I just figured I was half way there anyway and Ford stock is cheap, so better safe than sorry. Our local dealer said that they’re going to be sending a couple broncos to all the dealers some time around nov-dec, but they’re not going to sell them for a while. They’re supposed to be used as service loaners and for test drives. He said they’ll call all the people who preordered them to come and check them out before they have to figure out how they want theirs equipped. I preordered the 4dr outer banks version, but wasn’t able to specify what packages I want to add. I know I want the Bigfoot package, the lux package, and the bigger engine, but by the time I add all that stuff, it might be best to just get the wild track. Only thing I like about the outer banks is that it’s supposed to have more sound dampening stuff to cut down on road noise.

Pretty sure we'll be able to move up or down when we actually sit down and order it. I went with the Base 2 door. Only two of us so why 4 doors? I wanted the stick shift, wife wanted the the automatic, so we compromised, getting the automatic. When I found out that the Sasquatch package required the automatic anyway, I didn't tell her that. Letting her think she won, I'm not stupid, lol... Not sure if the Sasquatch also has the V6 standard also, if not, I'll get it. Need the Modular front bumper so I can get the grill guard, When I hit a deer again, I want there to be a clear winner, not a tie, seen too many cars dead on the side of the road because the deer fought them to a tie and both were dead.
