Agree. Just interested if anyone in this community had some info to share. As a 2.7L Bronco owner, it be nice to know if I'm on borrowed time.

Based on some research of others on the board it appears some of the valvetrain components and oil pan are specifically different than the F150 2.7L. I have not independently verified that.

Over 25 documented cases. Seems to be in the valve train, with possibility of a keeper or stem failing.

What's the scoop on the number of failed 2.7L being reported on B6G? Anyone here have some insight?

Got my Badlands last weekend...stopped by KCAP for a pic...too bad the sign was off the building.

I currently own a 2017 Fusion Titanium. When it's time to replace it I hope Ford has something. I use it for work, gets great gas mileage, sporty and comfortable. Super nice car for the money.

I got a window sticker this week with a 9/29 blend date. 4dr Badlands LUX, MIC, A51, Tow, 2.7L

This guy....I love this guy. I love all your info here and at 6G. Thanks for your hard work...keeps everything in perspective. Now just get them to build my MIC 2021 that I have a VIN for... lol.

Same boat for me...got my reservation in around 9:30.

I'm an Area 51 order holder. I saw one in person at the OKC auto show last week and definitely made the right call. Cool color. Though that Antimatter Blue is pretty sweet too.

I don't think it's a CF...i think Ford's main goal was protect your reservation spot at your dealer. It doesn't mean your spot is nationally protected because of the allocation. I guess you could play the allocation game and shop your reservation and try to predict your place in line but with restrictions on certain options, that would be impossible. If you review a dealers order history over on 6G, you'll see there's a lot waiting until 2022 anyways hoping for a specific option or color. I still think you could be bumped even if you've placed your order already if someone transfers to your dealer with a better reservation date and low restriction build...at least until March 19th.

It's my understanding that no allotments are made until after March 19th...change your dealer March 18th and your place in line is saved...regardless of how many orders are already in there. You could literally cut to the front if you ordered something with no availability restrictions.

While I agree nothing is ever as easy as it seems, I have it in writing and signed. Considering the number of people that are using this dealer over on 6G forum they'd have enough lawsuits to put them out of business. And they've been pretty transparent about their deal and pretty open on that forum promoting it and another deal that is $2000 below invoice. I also know Ford will penalize a dealer for not selling the Bronco to the reservation holder so they have some stake to follow through.

I changed dealers, kept my place in line and saved $3000. Sure, I have to drive 6 hours to pick it up but no way I was paying over MSRP. Oh, I paid (or will pay) under invoice...and there are plenty of deals out there all around the country at either MSRP or below.

Safe to assume that HD Vinyl is all you get on Badlands? I knew cooled seats was a stretch but it doesn't appear leather is an option...
