Fake news.
When you mud in FL it takes hours to wash not minutes... the cosmetic stuff on top is not the problem. It's getting rid of all the weeds, mud, etc. underneath and inside the frame rails.
And the crazy part.. is in 24 that $65K is the current MSRP for a fully loaded 2Dr Badlands. lol

Audio newb here.
I finally received all the audio components for an upgrade and was talking to an audio-installer and he recommended I don't just upgrade the tweeters but both the dash and 6.5" co-axial speakers together...
You do... this dealer has 7 at MSRP and I've seen green ones before (the color I would have picked). I've seen other dealers with 2-3 on the lot too...
Ford trimmed some 24 Bronco prices and dealers are discounting 23s which seem to be moving with $5-8K discounts. Not many left.
Ford is seeing the writing on the wall and another month of flat sales and you might see $2-3K new incentives and maybe price cuts later in the year.
My local Ford...
I'm glad we have choices instead of just Jeep, Jeep, Jeep... old FJ
With that said, I borrowed my friend's 4xe for a week back when I owned a 2Dr Big Bend with no options. The audio system was actually good (not ear bleedingly bad) and the leather seats were nice. That's all the preferred...
They are sitting on lots. The demand for a $110K monstrosity is pretty limited. They
I was like you... early reservation order but in early 2023 GMC told me they'd produce my EV SUV in 2026 and so I canceled the order.
I don't have fleet sales numbers but I know Nissan basically lives on low margin fleet sales.
What we know about GC 4xe sales is in the link above:
Jeep Wrangler 4xe, the first-ever electrified Jeep Wrangler, remains America's best-selling plug-in hybrid vehicle, with 67,429 (43%) of total...
I know... but somehow Stellantis is still GCs selling more than last year and it's due to crazy incentives. Almost everything else declined... badly. The don't have many smaller affordable cars anymore and folks aren't buying overpriced large vehicles...
Yes... this is across all carmakers... affordable smaller cars are flying off lots. Sales are not declining... the consumer is shifting their purchases to different types of cars.
EVs like the Lightning and Mach-E boomed in sales because of $8-12K price cuts. There are trims now less expensive...
I've seen a pretty equal number of colors in Florida... except White and Black. I've NEVER seen a white Bronco except for my friend's Wildtrak and maybe just one black Bronco on the road. Probably because they blend in with Jeeps.
Yes... a zero options BB 2-door, 7spd manual, etc. is $41K. Unsure about wait times but it won't be a year like in the past... but probably 3-6 months. There are dealers offering $1K under MSRP for ordering and some at invoice for ordering.
I can believe that. I've seen a Hummer EV ford through water up to the hood. The owner told me he was trying to destroying it while it was under warranty as GMC has replaced everything that broken.
I personally have never seen a G-wagon offroad (I see one a week at least on the road) but a few...
For sand? Traction board probably.

Maybe kinetic rope, soft shackles, etc. if there is another 4x4 wheeling with you or you expect another car could pull you out.
Tire deflator and battery powered air compressor would be handy...
Hope you got a better price than $46K... I was about to say I saw a loaded new 23 Badlands (hard top, Sas, etc) for $55K ($8K discount) plus the new Ford rebates.
$40K might be an okay deal. And if you get near $40K in trade in for your GC... probably a good deal.
