Short answer sound system subwoofer, some additional upgrade addons, mic top upgrades from the garbage 21 model and most importantly Hoss 3.0.

@Buford pretty sure it didn’t and they don’t like talking about it at the dealerships as they are attempting to markup the 22s still.

so 2022 did NOT have HOSS 3.0 correct?

The biggest upgrade was the HOSS 3.0 package was made standard. HOSS 3.0 includes an beefed up steering rack, improved suspension, and a steel front bumper.

In 2021MY and 2022MY, HOSS 3.0 wasn't available. And in 2022.5MY it was an optional upgrade, but not a standard option.

Not all.. it was a late year option

 

[Buford]

Thanks all! I was getting confused by the option then vs standard now

I wouldn’t of known it was there because it was not even part of the 23 on the sticker until I did research. I drove it, and it was noticeably smoother then the ones I drove all of December trying to find the right one.

the suspension is the best part of the MY, worst part is the killing of some of the OG colors from 21.

I’ve never driven 3.0 but I’ll say my 2.0 is ignorant bliss… it’s pretty darn good IMO. Only thing I see missing on that sticker that I’d want (and have on my ‘22) is the mod bumper.. but money can buy bumpers for less than HOSS 3

@V1Rotate I’m glad it’s good. It better be we spent a ton for this dream truck. Regardless of one side upgrade.

Having come from the truck world it’s a terrible “truck” but its great at what is is for sure. But like you say it should be for $60k

Funny I posed the question to a dealership that has a 2022 in stock and this was their response

"Nothing has changed for 2023 other than we are not able to order Broncos & WILDTRAK is not available for 2023, as well as Sasquatch, Lux pkg, hard tops, & 2.7 V6 engine. The Hoss suspension is a stand alone option & is NOT standard suspension for the Bronco WildTrak. It is an upgrade only!"

seems he doesn't know that HOSS 3.0 was an option in 2022 but standard in 2023

I have a '22 and like you have never driven the 3.0 so maybe it is ignorant bliss. LOL Honestly though the '22 Wildtrak has the exact same suspension and steering as a Sasquatch Badlands minus the sway bar disconnect so no slouch whatsoever!

Fixed it for ya! I have a manual sway bar disconnect… it’s super reliable and lives in my glove box for when I need it. Never breaks..

They can be clueless can't they, you would think they would just read the order guide just a little. LOL

Perfect! Not that I would spend the money but I wonder if Ford Performance will ever come out with an electronic sway bar disconnect kit for non Badlands trim levels.
