2023 Ford Bronco VIN decoder. Reveals "Bronco Oates" mystery model

[P52Ranch]

Oates = limited edition two door 2.7 7MT with Raptor shocks and towing capacity without the ugly flares. With the added articulation of the Raptor using sway bar disconnect and the 4.7 axle ratio of the DR, it is intended to be the more extreme rock crawler. Available only in Yellowstone with an off white top.

I mean one can dream can’t they.

Why are you limiting this dreaming to the 2.7? Why not the 3.0 with the 7MT?

I figured Ford feels the 3.0 is too much for a two door, but yeah …

OATES = onboard advanced turbo encabulator system. Old tech. Super simple and obvious what it does.
Chrysler has had one for years.

If there is any rhyme or reason to there chassis codes, I say the OATES (E4J) is some of square fender(shares the E4x heritage chassis code prefix) 2dr Raptorish(xxJ chassis postfix) build.

OATES = 2DR pickup bed version

That's the exact VIN my '21 was supposed to have.

Maybe the Oates edition will be a tribute Sgt Hulka from Stripes

You’re Out of Touch if you don’t know about the Oates trim

Heard they got that new model specific color “honey bunches” of Oates

More of a "we can squeeze more money out of some customers with some stickers and ugly wheels" heritage.

Similar to what Chevy did with the SS badge about a decade ago.

Better include NOS stickers

If the Oates is an EV Or hybrid I’ll shit myself (in a good way lol)

EV should be 4 door option also I’d think

I just want to know if the Heritage, Heritage Limited, or Oates will be offered with the 7MT. Sounds like the Heritage Limited will not if all the boxes are checked.

Page 8 of the linked PDF for those that are following. Below is a screenshot that is being referenced.

Side note: On page 9, the Bronco Sport is decoded. WTF does a Heritage trim have to do with the Sport?

Heritage version for the sport would be my guess. Bronco ll people. Bronco ll
