Sorry to hear about your wife’s condition. No off roading? Still fun to run over house hold items that don’t work properly.Unfortunately with my wife's physical and mental condition I likely won't be doing much trail running any more.

Well just getting to town can be an adventure (especially in winter or monsoon season) as we are down 10 miles of dirt road outside a town of just 3400 peopleSorry to hear about your wife’s condition. No off roading? Still fun to run over house hold items that don’t work properly.
Or Grandkids.Fair enough, I love my 4 door. It's the only way to go if you have kids.
Overall I like the digital cluster in my '26 Stroppe as compared to the cluster that was in my '22 Badlands BUT there are things about the digital I don't care for. The gas gage is small and harder to read and the adaptive cruise control indicator in an awkward place, also smaller and harder to see, and does not show the following distance that is set until you change it and it pops up in the middle of the screen. The analog looking tach is much nicer but they should have included a digital readout as well like the speedo. JMHOI DEFINITELY preferred the look of this over the Stroppe but was wanting the HOSS 3.0 and digital cluster so was tempted. I could have got the 25 Stroppe for just $4K above the cost of the HEL.
When I get the settlement check I'm going to add the HOSS 3.0 Fox shocks and am just going to live with the shitty cluster.

My '24 Badlands showed the following distance all the time with or without using cruise control and my '25 Badlands does not- I did like that feature. But overall the '25 instrument panel is better. It shows an option to "configure gauges" but it is grayed out and I can't do anything with it.Or Grandkids.
Or multiple dogs.
Or if you travel a lot in it.
I love the looks of the 2 door, but need the practicality of the 4 door.

ConIt's the only reason I put up with the dealer's crap during the purchase.
It was literally the only one in that color available I could find and was a few thousand cheaper then any of the Robins Egg Blue or Yellowstone versions for sale .
Had to make the 4 hour (each way) drive to Scottsdale to buy it from a Volvo dealer.
Congratulations. Great color and were partial to the 2 doorsHad less than 7K miles on the odometer and was bought to replace the Wildtrak that was totaled.
Quick process by State Farm as Wildtak was wrecked on the 3rd of June and I was able to buy this yesterday the 13th.
Filling her up on the way home

She’s sure is a beauty and welcome to the 2 dr HLE club. I looked for this color but the dealer wanted way more than I wanted to spend. I did find my Yellowstone quite nice. I get compliments and people taking photos left to right. You’ll notice some people too doing the same. Sorry to hear about your wife. Hopefully you both can enjoy some rides together and the fresh air out there in AZ.Had less than 7K miles on the odometer and was bought to replace the Wildtrak that was totaled.

Most likely because it's not "Heritage Edition Limited" and is probably listed under its real name of "HERITAGE LIMITED EDITION" or HLE for short.Went to update the model Bronco I own and just saw there is no option for the HEL in the drop down menu
That’s because it is not an option in 2026. Neither are 2 door Heritage Editions. The high end special edition now is only the Stroppe and only in 4 doors.Went to update the model Bronco I own and just saw there is no option for the HEL in the drop down menu
He means on the forum here. He changed from one model and bought the heritage limited edition to replace the one that he got rid of.That’s because it is not an option in 2026. Neither are 2 door Heritage Editions. The high end special edition now is only the Stroppe and only in 4 doors.
