May I ask you a couple of questions about the new running boards?
Is the ground clearance the same, 2024 vs 2025, distance from ground to bottom of running board?
Does the new running board stick out further?

The new style is fitting, perhaps, for the Outer Banks theme. But I prefer the 2022-2024 on all other models.
The running board stick out about an inch further away from the vehicle on the 2025, and you lose about a half an inch of clearance.

Body-color painted Desert Tan on a Bronco Raptor.

I did snap some photos of the seams on the hard top (see bottom of the post), because I was a little concerned that the paint coverage would be poor there. But honestly it looks great, they did an awesome job.

Also checked out the new 12-speaker B&O audio system and it's a definite improvement. Not sure if they just added the speakers or also worked on the tuning a bit, but it's better for sure.

Tan does not work for me. Was hoping it would give a military look, but I don't see it. Blue seats do not match at all. What I will give Jeep - better colors. That new army green style color looks great, plus more bright colors if you want.

I thought this group would like to See some of the differences in found in the 2025 Ford Bronco Outer Banks.

I have a '22 OBX and absolutely love it, was going to order a '25, but the changes that were made are on the negative side for me. I ordered a '25 Ranger instead if the Bronco.

I still want the badlands stitched dash and armrest cover for my badlands but does anyone have the part number for the rubber molding in the cargo area that covers up the gap between the top and bottom? I know it would be something I have to remove in the summer when i take the top off but would be interested in adding to my '22. I didn't know it existed until this video. and can't seem to find the right words to search for the part numbers.

Yeah don't go by the configurator, it's all off. That "off white" is actually this tan... Unfortunately the iPhone has a habit of making the colors a bit lighter.

Can’t believe they did this to the Badlands. Already thinking about how to fix this in mine once it comes in. Vent clips are easy enough to swap out and I can live with the grab handles I guess but the Bronco letters on the glove compartment are going to have to be dealt with. Does anyone know if the Tufskinz letters will completely cover the tan? Anyone with experience applying them? Are they difficult to get right? Any other suggestions?

The new badlands accent color is terrible. The orange looks much better.
There is a post in the 2025 Badlands dash thread that links to some 2025s with actual photos and notes that the tan is only with the leather interior option. Marine grade vinyl Badlands have black accents, like this one linked in that post.

I still wish I was getting the orange, but personally I feel a lot better now knowing I'm not getting tan accents! Phew!

Oh yeah, the black actually does look pretty good, I would definitely be happy with that myself. I do prefer the orange, and glad I grabbed a late 2024 with the painted top, but at least with the black you can add some orange accessories yourself if you want and it won't look terrible.

Yes!!! 80s-90s computer beige!

That's the real color in person for the "desert tan" misnomer. I've seen it in person on multiple vehicles now and I was describing it as a color you'd see on a 1940s car or '70s refrigerator. Computer beige is the winner, so far.

Shame on Ford's color team for once again proving they're colorblind or intentionally lying to people. What I mean by lying is that "Desert Sand" is a color of US military shirts, etc. and it would be the same as calling something OD Green when it's a light mint-colored. The most ridiculous part is that they can't be saving a ton of money on pigments by making it so watered-down and they're intentionally trying to lure in a, now pretty large, veteran demographic but not delivering.

It's at least consistent with Ford not delivering on the Bronco.

No idea if it’ll fit any top other than the new one, but here are the part numbers:
