2022 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition - A Closer Look (Dedicated Thread for All Things Heritage)

[Love Shop Auto Lo]

Seems like this would be the best place to share this. Customer came in for an alignment with their Bronco. After scanning my customer's Bronco, these trims popped up.

I haven't dug in to see the differences in alignment specs. The specs probably differ based on what tire size came on a specific trim.

Pardon me, if this has been posted up somewhere already but it seems like a fun Easter Egg to speculate on. This was gathered from the "latest" software update for my Hunter Aligner

I wonder if Overland ended up being Everglades?

Yes

This must be some legacy coding and not an indicator of what's to come evidenced by a few things.
1) There was no 2021 Heritage or Overland though we did hear rumors of each back 2020 and early 2021. I'm betting these were placeholders. The supply chain and QC disruptions pushed those out.
2) Can you check the 2022 screen. I'm betting that's more accurate. If it included the Everglades and Raptor that would likely confirm the Heritage and Overland were placeholders and weren't meant to be interpreted as the Everglades or some omen of something to come.

Can you pull up the 2022 screen and see what pops up?

The Bronco Heritage Edition reveal is coming soon!
Last Thursday, images of a Bronco Heritage Edition prototype were shared on the site.
The image was taken at a Ford media event for the Everglades.

It features a new light blue color for 2023 (Color may be exclusive to the H.E.)
You will notice that the square fenders come straight from the everglades.
Also, the roof is painted and the wheels have 4 slots (Heritage Edition wheels).

What is everyone's thoughts on this?
Below the camouflaged picture is a colored in picture giving an idea what it may look like.

I like the colored in picture on the bottom. I'm not a fan of the blue that was on display. It's good to see the mod top. I hope Ford follows through with making them in white and body colored also. It will be interesting to see if the Heritage is offered with a manual transmission and what the price will be. Also, what option packages and standard features will be available?

Just put a V8 in it. Manual transmission and transfer case Along with manual locking hubs. Full framed doors with wing windows and hand cranks. A one piece hard top. A simple double din stereo with CD player. Bench seat and I’m ready to roll.

Yeah, I don’t think the area under the glass (basically the entire side panel) is going to be white. It sort of messes up the classic look with the modern glass on the roof.

What.... no 8-track????

Here is the Heritage Edition completely uncovered out in public.

Off to a good start, but we still haven’t seen any versions with a white grill, wheels, roof.

The 2-Door looks excellent!

Hmm. To me, the more square fender opening looks better on the 2dr. Grill and wheels are a nice swing but a miss for me. Something seems odd to my eye. Maybe some changes to front and rear bumpers would make a big difference. I'll wait for final reveal but I'm not feeling this factory effort at a Heritage model.

I wonder how the wheels would look in a bright polished aluminum or silver paint? I agree with NurseDan about the bumpers - have always wanted a simple bumper that was thinner if possible and didn't look like it was made from Lego pieces. The grill should have looked like the one from Delfab and had amber horizontal lights to be truer to the original as well. But, the one thing that may make me want to switch to it is the square fenders - the ones from ADV didn't work to my eye and led to even more tire poke.

I’m sorry but I don’t really see anything “heritage” with this bronco. All they are doing is changing flares, maybe adding a white accents and a new grill. All stuff people can buy aftermarket. I didn’t expect a remodel but use some imagination Ford.
