Oates trim seems to be available only on the 2door. .

Yes some 2 door love form Ford. Maybe makes up for the everglades and raptor, only being 4 door.

Interesting how the heritage trim comes in two levels. I like the option of the option for a heritage edition that is not fully loaded with the price maxed out.

Maybe some Adult Education would help here?

Ford has the Oates E4J, which could be their Desert Racer for 2023. Only comes in 2 door.

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

A special edition 2 door race inspired Bronco would be cool.

Some of the 4 door raptor hardware on a 2 door could be part of this but why not just call it a raptor 2 door?

I wonder what they could do to make it unique.
The actual bronco sold for use in races won't be in this system as it's not for street use.

I would get it is just coolers and graphics to make more money.
A real Haritage trim sport would be to make a 2 door, but we will never see that I would guess.

Is there anything that could be done to the sport to make it more truly heritage? Maybe pull something from other Broncos besides the first generation?

Guys, the F150 is getting a heritage edition as well. The thinking around here is very out of touch with what Ford is doing with the "heritage" label.

Thanks for the info, it was just a guess on my part.

Each one will come with an autographed collectors photo:

Yup, all those looking for A51 or AMB can head over to the F150 Heritage B&P. I do like what they are doing with the two tone paint scheme, the Black over Avalanche looks really good. Kinda reminds me of my old 2001 F50 Platinum.
