Hard pass for me. Enjoy!!

really hoping for the squared quarter panel designs to be available someday on 2 doors. ADV's design is cool enough but i don't need a more open wheel well and don't want to lose fender flare coverage (which you do with ADV's designs)

I am ready for some of these parts to become available. I will take the snorkel from the everglades and the braces and upgraded steering rack from the Raptor. If the fenders were easy and cheap enough, it would be cool to have the squared-off fenders. Its always nice to see more iterations of Bronco for different parts so I can mix and match.

Thanks for posting! I switched the first day this was available. Its $2500 more than a loaded BD but you get a lot for that $2500! I'm just hoping the awful sticker can be removed or hopefully its sent to the dealer to apply and I'll just avoid it altogether. I ordered desert sand at first, and really wanted to like it, until I realized its the same "hearing-aid tan" as my dad's Lincoln Towncar, so I let the wife pick the color and changed to A51. I'll be really disappointed if I don't get scheduled, especially since I'm not convinced they will carry it into 2023 ( I believe they'll have a different special edition each year).

its criminal that those wheels are not the standard alloy wheels on all the badlands/squatch.

if ford is still planning the mod top with white roof. They need these in white on those models. would look absolutely sick

"hearing-aid tan"

in the TFL video they talk about the quarter panels being different in the Everglades vs other Broncos. And with them being squared off, I think the wheel well is cut different. So you likely won't be able to just swap them onto a different model. Time will tell though as someone will eventually try.

Kinda strange that ford put this out on the 2.3l with the winch when we know now the 2.3l is the only engine that easily allows tucking that winch underneath without bothering the camera and other stuff...... very strange ford didnt delay this a bit and design a new bumper for this model that puts that winch down and in a bit to take advantage of that space....

I could see a stealthier winch as a much bigger selling point but this is really looking lazy as far as that goes. The fact we are in year 3 it seems and ford doesnt give a shit at all about the winch situation is weird.

The snorkel is cool and the wheels are cool. But thats it.

that TFL video they trashed out the fenders and bumper ... eek!

Imagine if they said that on a forum that kowtows to Ford rather than allowing open and honest criticism of a design blunder that ranks near the Pontiac Aztek. The Raptor is going to sell out and over MSRP despite whatever may have inspired the fender flare design. Whose fragile ego/egos are we protecting and why? It seems like a functionally amazing machine, but if those fenders looked any more like kiddie pools, Chris Hansen would be telling the Braptor to have a seat.

Great review TFL!!!

Great review TFL!!!

by trashed I meant they did a ton of trail damage...that bumper got ripped halfway off. The fender flare is flapping in the wind. Sorry for the confusion. He actually says he likes the squared off flare on the Everglades.

I've very tempted to switch my Emerald Green Badlands Non-SAS build to the Everglades. I'm mostly in mud/ruts/wet environments when off road (already got my JL pretty well stuck and pretty deep in water), and I am at the beach 200+ days a year with gear covered in salt/sand, so whichever trim I get it has to have MGV/rubberized floors. I already have the racks on my build for boards, so it's basically the same as what I have except with SAS, winch, snorkel.

The 2.3 Is the engine I selected, the main issue is the price difference (I'm at $46k out the door on my 4 door BD manual, according to my dealer ($500 under invoice), and the lack of a manual. Having the factory included winch/snorker/higher breather tubes is a nice add-on.

I believe he was using this opportunity to wax poetically about a certain “other” model.

it's an interesting bird honestly. big limiter is only 4d and mid.

if i was in for a 4d bd sas i would no doubt go glades. unique fenders, wheels are keepers out of the gate, etc. for a few k more not bad. pretty cool and different.

value wise bl non-sas is the winner. a non-sas maxed is about the same price, and sas a few k more, or drop from lux > high package to keep it the same.

regardless i like it, and a solid and different choice..
