Because they hired "world class" rockstars and fired the proof readers.

They hired the fallouts from Enron and Arthur Andersen.

Hi - sorry if this has been asked before but in the Order Guide it shows Automatic Transmission as being S/O (standard/optional) so what is it standard in? =\

Is 322A a four door Black Diamond?

322A is the code for mid package on BD. If you look just below what you took a screenshot of, you will see 321A for standard package and 322A for mid package headers for the columns in the table.

The S/O you highlighted is saying Required for 2.7 and Optional for 2.3 For 321A standard package. Mid package 322A is only allowed with the 10spd auto.

E5A through E5D are the codes that dictate the doors and transfer case.

Thank you so much!! I appreciate your response ??

How long until FORScan can disable the safety crap? I don't want Lane keep, ASS and all the other useless junk included in Mid

To those citing errors. I read 1/4 through the first page of the "Final Draft" and found one without even trying:

Adaptive Cruise Control – Available on Badlands™, Outer Banks™, Badlands™, Wildtrak™ and First Edition

Not necessarily wrong, but listed Badlands twice.

I'm wondering if Ford is trying to de-incentivize 2.7L and SAS orders. There's so many things omitted from the 2.7L/SAS that don't make sense (for instance Paint Protection or Rear Cargo Carpet) for it to be real manufacturing restrictions. They're basically saying "choose the 2.7L/SAS or choose all these features you want."

I would speculate it's to keep a better mix of engines in the overall build-total for emissions reasons, since they don't have fleet & dealer spec orders to offset custom buyers (all of us) like they would with a normal vehicle rollout. But I'm guessing.

Doesn't bother me much. I'm perfectly capable of ordering roof rails and installing them myself.

Limited editions rarely have unlimited options.
I find it more comical I get an ugly brush guard and headliner instead of towing.

side note ,not sure if said before, i believe the awful placement of the brush guard over the bronco logo was to keep it out of the way of the camera.

Actually, I believe it's because under the camera is where the front license plate bracket goes. Technically, the bar would block both.

Edit: the more I think about this, the more I think this was a silly question. The fact that there is no "O" on mid makes me think it's not possible, despite no clarifying note (which is really just flavor text compared to the cells anyway).

Sorry if this has already been hashed out a million times after this config spreasheet came out, in that case I must'a missed it....

I'm curious about "mid" on BD: do those well versed with this spreadsheet still interpret mid+man as unavailable for black diamond?

BB, there is a note indicating mid is not available for manual. Additionally, the "mid" column is grayed out and "Auto" is standard for mid per the next row down.
BB Manual - Note Excludes Mid

BD, there is NO note... however, the "mid" column is grayed out and "auto" is still standard for mid. Is there consensus regarding whether manual + mid truly is not an option per this order sheet? The grayed out cell kills most hope for me, but I'm going to cling to it due to lack of note compared to the big bend table. I'm guessing inconsistency regarding lack of note was just an oversight, though.
BD Manual - No Note, though Mid still "S" for Auto and Mid Cell Gray'd out for Manual

Thanks!

If this has been asked already, my apologies.

I'm confused about the Ford 360. The .pdf says it is standard across all trims, yet the Mid-Package claims it is part of the Mid-Package content. I tried for the last few months to use the B&P to figure it out, but to no avail.

Does anyone know for sure if Ford 360 is standard, or part of the Mid-Package option?

TIA

So I just chatted with one of the cust serv reps on the Ford B&P, not that it means much but he said that the advanced auto 4x4 system is standard on the Wildtrak 4-door. Contrary to what the “order guide” that just came out said. Maybe it’s not completed or finalized yet?

The sheet is confusing, but the auto 4x4 isn't what is optional, its the number of doors. Four doors is the option configuration.

I really hope this changes. I am doubtful though. Is the mid package with a manual trans BD too much to ask for? For what it’s worth, I hope we can get some clear indication, from someone in the know at Ford, this isn’t just another error on their part. Seems this order guide has many other oversights, so fingers crossed this is just another example of that.

My understanding of why this is written that way is based on which motor you order. 2.7 it is standard. 2.3 can be optional.

Never.

Spoiler

Because on every Ford all those features can be customized or turned off in the normal vehicle settings.

Unfortunately, this is not a mistake. Badlands is the only trim where you can get mid package with a manual. Bronco manager Esteban confirmed this in the SEMA Q&A video.
