This was brought up briefly in another thread, but I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on it. I am thinking that with the addition of the Mid Package to any of the Broncos, you may get painted door handles because of Intelligent Access. I am specifically referring to the lock/unlock feature on the outside door handles.
I have yet to see a Ford with MIC door handles that also has Intelligent Access. I am sure it is possible, but I am not sure it has been done before, or that they are planning to start doing it with the Bronco. If you look at the comparison pdf on Ford's website, all of the trims that come with Mid Package or above also include painted door handles.
The only evidence contradicting me at the moment is the most recently built Oxford White Badlands. The interior photos we saw today show the 12" screen from the High/Lux Package, but the exterior photos still show black MIC door handles. Because this is still preproduction, and for the sake of discussion, I am not taking this as definitive proof that production Broncos with Mid Package or above will not have painted handles.
For those who don't know, Intelligent Access is the general term ford uses for all of the features that would normally require a physical key or fob, but now do not. Again, I am specifically referring to the lock/unlock feature in this case.
So what does everyone think? I know Build & Price will answer this "soon," but it's something to think about to help pass the time.
