Regrets??

[AZ_Liberty]

One potential regret.

Because Ford took away the best color (Rapid Red), I had to change colors for MY22.

I picked HPR, and since I don't actually HAVE a bronco, I don't know what it looks like in real life. So I might potentially regret not paying the extra for Cyber Orange.

honestly, I'm starting to regret getting involved in this whole debacle - it's been 23 months since I reserved, and still have NO build date - that's unbelievable to me. I've seen HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS get built faster. And, as someone who has worked in customer service for my entire career - the absolute lack of communication and service from Ford is unreal - and it's making me not only resent @Ford ... but seriously - I am starting to HATE them, and hope they go bankrupt.

I regret every day that I choose to drive something else instead of my Bronco. This thing has vastly exceeded expectations in all categories. The things I was worried about (the 2.3 instead of the 2.7 for example) are complete non-issues. It's amazing and I absolutely love it.

The ride and drive of my Big Bend is so freaking smooth!!!! Love it and the 2.3 is my getting 21 mph around town and 26-27 on highway!!

I have been extremely happy with mine. I went back and forth between a base four door Sasquatch optioned with everything Ford would let me put on it. Or a four door Badlands with every option Ford would let me put on it.

There was about $15k in price difference and after driving some dealer demos, I decided the $15k was worth all the options.

Those were the two trims plus options that made the most of what I wanted my Bronco to be for what I thought were good deals. One was about $45k and the other about $60k. For what you get, those both seemed like good values.

For those of us who don’t off-road much (or anything intense), is the $15k price difference still worth it?

I personally went with a base 2 door 2.3 manual (non SAS). Modular bumper, aux switches, keypad came out to about $32k. I was going to get a higher package, but just didn’t think $10k+ was worth it for essentially a slightly nicer interior and some lights.

I think everyone will differ on this one since we all use our Broncos in different ways.

I’m sure a Base for around $30k is a hell of a deal for a LOT of people. It’s a great rig that is super fun and very capable. Also the ability to build it just the way you want is appealing to so many with this kind of vehicle.

I do off-road mine and have had many Rubicons over the years in different states of tune. So my wheeling probably looks a little different as it has evolved over time.

That’s where the base becomes less of a deal for me personally. I would need to add things and those things are a pretty good deal from Ford and have a warranty and better resale down the road. Not to mention less time laying on my back in the garage in my days off.

As far as the interior stuff goes, that was about half of that $15k. So for about $7k you get the Lux, Leather, Mats, key pad, etc.

That seemed like a great value really. I like my headrest to adjust, power seats, the 12” screen, heated seats and wheel, 360 camera, climate control, adaptive cruse, BO stereo, etc.

My thought was Ford had priced these things really well and I was getting a lot for my money after trying them out on the dealer demos.

No adding the rear locker to Big Bend.

Would have been the perfect setup for the way I use it.

Now that I have a VIN and the financial aspect looming I marginally regret not going with the Base and building up with what I want for less overall. And not on the CO, still haven't seen it in the sun, hoping I love it. But with Orange being my fav color I might have been better off going with a different color and adding my orange accents.

HPR looks like a copper red in person. Cyber Orange For The Win!!!!!!

Can't you Sas the BD and get it all?

You can't get a BD with 7MT & High pack, gotta go BL for that magic combo

The only problem with the Ford Bronco is the half that's spelled F - O - R - D.

I absolutely LOVE my Bronco, but I would have loved to have the usb port by the GoPro spot on the dash. I also didn't get the signature lights and I kinda want them now. And of course, I did not get the Mod bumper, which I wish I had. I am also a little bummed with how popular Area 51 is as a color. AND I would have had the factor side steps installed so I don't have to pick my six year old up every time he wants in my truck.

Did any models come with rhino lined flooring?

... Only that I thought about it for a week before deciding to put the $100 in and make a reservation.

I didn't know that. I'm glad I wanted a BL because I guess I got the magic combo
