I guess it’s not as much that I think they are ugly wheels but to me they just don’t look like they belong on an off road vehicle. Too fancy looking I guess haha.

FIRST UPDATE
Alright here is the list of info.
This is NOT everything, because... well... honestly I don't know all of the information that was provided to dealers or the media. And without knowing that piece of information I cannot disclose it all. The 12" touchscreen, for example, I had no idea media knew about that until the this post appeared morning. And truthfully up until this morning I intended on posting sneak peak post over the weekend with a cryptic "some of the technology available in Mid/High/Lux is now standard".

- Improved interior comfort and finishes
- Note: No details what this means. I assume it means more seat adjustability, or maybe standard rear seat cup holders. Maybe some better plastics. We'll have to wait and see.
- Technology Changes
- 12" touchscreen is now standard on all trims.
- Note: This will undoubtably result in a shake-up of the equipment packages. My guess? High/Lux will be combined into a single package.

Here's a look at the 2024 Bronco Raptor with Code Orange Package and painted fender flares.
Ford Performance offered Method Race Wheels.
Special photo put together to celebrate the Bronco's 58th birthday:
It's a safety device. It's not supposed to touch your head. Should be 2-3 finger with behind your head.
It happened the same year, both examples. Nothing to do with inflation it was a decision made by Ford. What the hell does cancelling cars because they were low profit margins in favor of all trucks with double the starting price point, have to do with inflation? its a business decision.
I don't understand the "workin man rig" either. Broncos are neither cheap nor required for someone's occupation/way of life. Ford makes a Ranger for that.
I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Ford announced they would have a WORK Bronco trim level, or Working Man, not sure of the name, but it was announced as a trim level for 24, or so it was talked about for 24. It would seem that this may not come to pass now, or maybe it will be later on into 24? That is what I was speaking on.
I'm pretty sure those are just possible future scenarios that were presented to the share-holders, hence the premium and + which translate to $$$.
Base existed for one super important reason for Ford, to ensure market penetration. Having this low cost option available with Sasquatch ensured that Ford could come in swinging with little competition from jeep in the low end of the segment... It was gimped as much as possible with regards to features to force people into higher trims for "only a little bit more" and this scheme generally worked for Ford. Base having served it's purpose is now gone, as Ford has sufficient market penetration now.
The great thing about steelies is that I will never feel bad scraping them across rocks or bending the f' out of them on an obstacle. They are 100% disposable (especially at the price I paid $600 with nearly new tires on them - under 3k miles). The tires alone were worth more than that.
