Very interesting to see the difference in the hard top. Was that a black painted hardtop? The headline looks different than the OBX with body color painted hardtop in my video.
IKR! It was a body painted hardtop...

I am saying that the construction on the color top is the same as the MIC that everyone hates with the half ass filled epoxy/cardboard blend. The black top is constructed like a jeep top., which is a lot more solid.
I see, sorry for misunderstanding.

Color matched or color coordinated? I have an eruption green Badlands on order and the interior on the configurator has off-white trim accents, which could be the tan you see I guess, but then the exterior shots clearly show orange accents? I'd be less mad about green accents but pretty annoyed if it's all tan accents regardless of body color.

Then again the configurator is also completely missing the glove box, vents, and under-dash panels. Bizarre to me that Ford can screw up the build and price visuals so badly. I no longer have any idea what the inside of my Badlands is gonna look like apart from the seat color.
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.

Also looks like the Badlands still comes with the center console grab handle, which is eliminated on the OBX?

Yes, all Badlands, Big Bend with Black Diamond Package, and Sasquatch, gets the console grab handle.

I ordered mine with the "FITS" option so no grabhandle. It has the system to attach different things.

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.

Here is a bunch of new stuff from my look yesterday!

Extra lights in back, extra lights on roller
bar. Color matched interior trim (not yellow on Badlands, now tan), Color inset in dash and stitching on dashboard. Panels are darker pale gray.

This is a 2025 Bronco Badlands Lux SAS in Marsh Gray.

Looks good overall, but that switch to tan accents on the badlands is a huge loss.

Although I won't ever be able to afford another Bronco in this life, if they do put a bigger tank in, the tiny gas tank in the 2 door currently is so irritating. When I use it to commute for my work, which is seldom, I have to gas it up 3X a week. I don't get that bad a mileage- over 22 but feels a lot worse with the small tank. Improving the fuel capacity would be a huge improvement.
I would be happy with 22mpgs, as I'm currently averaging 16, which I'm fine with.

It’s probably the same 4 door painted top the heritage has had.
No idea why they have 2 different paintable 4 door tops though.
I’d thought by now Ford would have dumped the Mic due to the issue and went to the new painted top that’s white inside which I could guess is the same as the Heritage top.
But in that video I see 2 painted tops, one white inside and one that looks dark grey like the mic.
I think I heard read on here the Heritage top was not the same as the black painted top. If so we’re looking at 4 different tops for the same vehicle. Not counting 2 door models,

The heritage MOD top is black on the inside just like the MIC.
So it appears they still have that same old paintable mod top and a new top that is also paintable.
Neither one of these is a painted MIC top.

I keep it out of boost, drive 45-55 MPH on back roads using CC and accelerate slowly to get this kind of MPG.
