Poll Flame me if you wish, but I am curious how many would do bd Manual + Mid if the option was to be allowed? I am pretty disappointed we are forced to BL for mid features for no apparent reason.

I was just getting over this... why must you make me relive this pain? Do you enjoy watching me suffer and cry?

kidding aside I very much would take mid with bd. Iā€™m going bd regardless because itā€™s the best combination of want, need, budget and usefulness. BL stretches me too far.

I would settle for a compromise of a cold weather package, as that was the primary thing I wanted out of the mid was heated seats (why heatedwheel is in the higher package is just plain stupid when almost any Jeep has it as an option. Another argument for another day).

It is frustrating yes, but I think it's fine too. Ford is a company that is going to try to make margins better on a vehicle like this. I'm sure some packages are operating at a loss leader, but knowing that other packages make up that difference.

The better Ford does on sales for this vehicle, the more likely for the Bronco to stick around this time.

Sorry for the suffering but Ford is the masochist. I'm glad I am not the only one who would be stretched on BL. I honestly wouldn't get enough use/abuse out of the front locker and disco to justify it... BD was the perfect combo and I just wanted heated seats for the cold winters. I havent experienced a heated wheel, I cant miss what I never had haha.

I first experienced the heated wheel in my buddys rubicon, then the wifeā€™s Rebel. My arthritis yearns for it now. So nice on a chilly Michigan morning.

I think it would speak for itself with making it a package. Jeep did it for a reason, and if they are trying to compete, why not do it better?

If the mid was offered on BD I would be buying it. Now Iā€™m most likely going base. If I donā€™t get all the cool toys Iā€™d rather just save the money since all I really gain with BD is rear locker and wash out interior.

Cold weather. How about a warm weather package? Yes, Iā€™m talking about AC seats! ?

I'd probably allow the MID and put the line of demarcation at HIGH.

Well, bumpers and plates as well. But I like the point you make.

I would take it if it was available, however it's not a deal breaker for me, I can realistically live without the mid. Only things that I care about are intelligent access, auto dim mirror and heated seats. I can do without copilot, in fact if I had it I'd turn most if not all of it off.
If I really want heated seats I can add them aftermarket
