I saw another article that said the new base is NOT the true Base from 21&22 but just a Big Bend called the Base model.
It has more slightly features standard than the 2021-2023 Base, but less features than the 2024 Big Bend.

So it's... an... in-betweener I guess?? I think they were just looking to keep the entry-point of the Bronco low, and they had gotten feedback that the Big Bend pricing was getting too high. So Base was the solution. Which makes sense.

Sweet. Who’s got my digital cluster part numbers/programing for the manual transmission?
It's absolutely on my list of things to do though.

I will caution that there is a very good possibility those parts will not be available through the parts system immediately after 2025 launches. The new stitched 2024 Badlands dash panel, for example, is still not in the parts database. So it'll probably be a patience game.

I was going to hold on upgrading till 25 but honestly, I'm not seeing anything that excites me.
*Stroppe and Free Wheeling is a very niche market.
*Heritage Edition is just a recolored Big Bend option. Dropping two door was a mistake. It would be nice to add a LUX option to it and make it a middle ground between Big Bend and OBX/BL.
*Everglade could have been a BL package option too.

Color options aren't great either in my opinion.
Best post of the day !

So Ford's Bronco brand sales team chooses to waste time, money and effort on a Free Wheeling package that will never sell in large numbers...........and then decides to kill the 2-door Heritage Edition (HE) that is the brand's halo model ???????
This indescribably bad decision speaks volumes, negatively, about the people currently on the Bronco corporate sales team.

As for the Stroppe package, it looks great........but I'd never buy one. It would look like a full-size toy truck in my driveway. I can see doing it, with a limited production run (1,966 units or other).

That’s how it is currently. That’s NOT how it will be on 25s. Will be available on all engines. See order guide here.

I dont think this was mentioned yet? I was digging around on Base model stuff.

Sasquatch™ Graphics Package (50U) is optional on Base, Big Bend™, Outer Banks™ and Badlands™ series only.

No, I mentioned it in my post (ok, first post after the initial thread post):

Interesting though, the Everglades, Black Diamond (didn't expect that but sure), WT and HLE are gone, but it DOES say the Base might come back (late availability)?? Although on the BD, it looks like a package on the Big Bend now. Looks like Ford finally got their :poop: together on the Sasquatch branding (assuming it's good/similar to the Stroppe). And no mention of the engine for the Stroppe, but it does say three overall so assume the same as Braptor at best.
The background is that I've been saying the Sasquatch branding has been weak for a while.

It's all good, maybe not that clear. It's just funny that multiple times I've pointed something out, only to have someone later say it wasn't mentioned by anyone.

Well I am grateful that I got a Wildtrak in Race Red, my all time favorite Ford color. I guess this one will be with me for a long time, I usually trade every 2 years, now I do not see that in my future. I do not put a lot of miles on it, only for trips to the mountains, and around town occasionally. We will be driving the Tacoma a lot more! Hubby has the 2 door Wildtrak in Area 51 paint, that got deleted.

It was something which drew me as well. But I also wanted HOSS 3.0 (Fox); superior to 2.0 on and off road. Sta-bar disconnect is an easy add; wire to Aux 1. Birth of the “Wildlands” trim. It should have come with different hard top though, maybe the gloss black to match the grill. But I’ll paint the MIC once the warranty expires… Going to match the beautiful sandstone interior we like!

For 2 doors, I think the only error is dropping it from the Heritage. Otherwise, it makes business sense to reduce the trim levels where 2 doors are offered to reduce costs given the take rate. It will just consolidate 2 door buyers into those fewer trims because those that want a 2 door will make the shift as they really want the 2 doors over trim offerings.

Just my opinion given that I'm a 2 door owner. I did shift my purchase in 2022 when there was an abandoned order on the lot. It isn't the trim level or paint color that I wanted...but I really loved the 2 doors.

I'm glad I got my HE when I did. The Stroppe in intriguing but 2-door, which it should be. would not work for me (hauling 2-4 hunting dogs depending on the day) and since hunting season has opened, I have accumulated a great collection of Idaho pinstriping on my flares.

I am curious why they listed the HE "after" the Raptor in the order guide. Was it on the chopping block and revived?

Sad to see Race Red gone from the HE though. I can not go anywhere whiteout someone complementing the white over red color. I have not seen the new red on a Bronco, but it sounds like a "boy racer" color for a Focus RS.

Honestly, I'm not shocked at the WT being taken out. My personal opinion was they should have just merged them in 23.
