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

[Beach_Bum]

So when Brian did his homework did he find any 4 door Heritage Edition's?

I am fairly certain that it will have very similar, squarish fenders but time will tell!

That would be unfortunate if true.

I'd love a traditional off-white natural-color heavy sail canvas top on my Bronco!

Someone posted a pic of their early Bronco at the beach with a white top... but I can't find it.

I think people should temper there expectations with just the mod top in general. I would love for Webasto to figure it out. But we know there is a huge log jam of builds optioning the MIC that will likely be pushed to MY22. I'm expecting the mod top to be late availability and by default that includes the HE.

Webasto is unable to make a single color MIC in sufficient quantities that meets the current reduced production. When the light gets switched on 8/3 for full production, we are only going to see softies down the line. I'm not sure introducing different colors to the MIC will solve the bottleneck.

Personally, I wouldn't mind a Wimbledon White MIC or even what Tricia suggested with an off-white soft top (as long as it isn't made by Webasto as they can't even make the soft top on the Moar door from not looking like a trash bag).

I bugged a Ford insider I know about this and they disclosed that the Heritage trim level will likely be priced between a Badlands and the Wildtrak, but more similar to a Badlands (functionally a mashup between Badlands and OBX, once you strip away all the throwbacks/Easter eggs). They wouldn’t say what tires it came with, but it sounds like it’s not 35’s like the Wildtrak.

There is something special on it that’s worth waiting for if you like 66-77 Broncos, which WILL require new tooling on the production line. I don’t exactly know what it is, but think it has something to do with the body styling.

@Bellebracht , @Beach_Bum - another tidbit on HE.

Thanks for the tag. The only relevant point is the pricing. No special tooling for the exterior body work. Remember, Ford is proud of the modularity of the Bronco. We know from other hints and now confirmed by Flip's grill parts post that the grill is unique but just a swap into the existing space. There are other exterior styling cues - nothing should need special tooling and will leverage the inherent designed modularity. And it will have 35's (at least as an option).

Was wondering if that implied a fender change to align better with the more tradition flares, but yeah.

As an observant student, I and others had our own questions how they intend to make it work. But the old adage of "a picture is worth a thousand words" seems to apply and answer those questions.

This thread is dedicated to discussing all things Heritage Edition.

As we all know, the 2022 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition is almost a sure thing at this point.
It is believed Heritage will replace the First Edition trim slot serving as a high end Bronco trim.

The picture below shows a modified @LBRACKET render with the 'retro' filter removed.
Also added are signature headlights since it is more than likely going to come equipped with them (See spy photos attached).

@LBRACET Did an amazing job on this render. Heritage edition is really going to stand out on the roads.

IT APPEARS THESE WHEELS WERE ORIGINALLY WHITE, BUT SPRAY PAINTED BLACK. BRONCO HORSE LOGO IS COVERED WITH TAPE & SPRAY PAINTED OVER.

Might want to update the thread title to reflect 2023 Heritage Edition. With the recent news that the Mod top won't be available until MY23, there won't be a MY22 Heritage Edition.

Yeah Heritage is a mirage now.

Officially un-99'ed today for a two door CO Badlands. Even that is probably a 2022 at this point.

According to the Ford notification to the dealers, they will still be producing some type of special edition. Doesn't specifically say HE though.

" What changes are coming for 22MY production? Customers can expect to see updated paint colors – including green, special editions, manual Sasquatch package, and 4-door Sasquatch with roof rack. We will have complete details when the Build & Price site opens. "

There's still hope for a HE but it doesn't sound like it would have a white top.

In which case it is not really an HE.
