Do you mean Base, manuals, or 2 doors?

All 3 of course!

I have a wife, so no manual. AMB is gone and now the Base has had a stake driven through its heart. 2 door has a reprieve...

I tend to agree. They did not build many 2DR Basesquatches in 23 let alone Basemansquatches. I think they closed the "base" ordering after the first quarter.

Wish we could see detailed production numbers for the past few years.
2021 was a short production run plagued by hardtop availability.
2023 Base models were scheduled early in the year, by March/April, then they were done.
I figure 2022 would have been the peak Base production.

It's sad those still looking for a low priced entry level Bronco can no longer buy a $30k Base.... it's now $41k for a Big Bend. And anything with Sas is now close to $55k.
Wondering if the reported 'work' model Bronco will ever see production and what it will actually be. And if it will be offered to the public or whether it will only be avail via fleet ordering.

I consider myself damn lucky to have (finally) gotten my V6 BaseSquatch for $40k, cloth seats and all!

The few, the proud, the Base model owners.

It may have been the cheapest Bronco available, but became one of hardest to get and is compatible with all those expensive factory take-offs others don't want. Cheers to you, you lucky duck!

Base model is usually the lowest trim model isn't it? So...Base Bend now?

I never minded buying my “poor-mans” Bronco. Love it now as much as I did the day it shipped in. Happy I got the base now (and 2-door AND Area 51. Happy base model owner here!

Looking at 4-door Sas/2.7/hardtop, the 2 cheapest options appear to be a BD at around $58k or the HE around $55k. At $42k it was a tough pill to swallow, I'd be out at today's prices.

2D 2.7L Base, can't get anything comparable for under $50k now. Crazy.

While resale won't be as desirable with the 8" screens, compared to our purchase prices we're coming out of this like bandits.

I walked out the door, including my extended warranty, for under $40k. I'm thinking I can still get that on the resale market for another year at least (if I ever decided to sell).

Big Bend is such an abysmal deal compared to the base. Nothing of substance changes. Alloy wheels (worse) and "leather wrapped steering wheel" for 5k? Hard Pass. The only real "differences" are the options Ford allowed you to take. Extra GOAT modes, maybe, but no reason those couldn't be on the base other than they didn't want them to be.

yes i would have been priced out to. I bought someone elses order, base / sas / v6 2 door. lost price protection on the BD i had ordered but after 2 years was done waiting. it was 43,170 now it seems if i want SAS and v6 the heritage is the cheapest option at like 53k
