Nope, HEs are the first and only with Mod tops.

Heritage Limited and the FE were based on the Badlands with high/lux, standard is the Big Bend with mid package, so they get basically those standard items. All three got special interior, FE was navy pier or all black, HEs either brown plaid leather or navy pier plaid cloth with standard. All three are also standard Sasquatch, FE and HEL get the bigger engine and the standard is still the only trim besides the BL that you can get a manual with mid package!

Of course you get the square fenders, white mod top with the special features, white wheels, white grille with red Ford letters and white striping with the HEs with the Limiteds being the only trim that has gotten the factory metal Bronco script. Other interior items is red accent trim, the little badge by the shifter which says Ford and the white dash for the HEs, I don't think the FEs got anything special besides the different color seats, maybe the badge was different.

Outside the FE got special striping, black mirrors, grille and trim rings, it was supposed to have the black mod top but that never happened. I think that's it, between the 2 the HEs are more distinct with bits that are only available on that trim, the FEs just had everything that was available at launch.

Great summary. HEL also gets the Sasquatch decal on the driver’s rear quarter panel…

The "Big Difference ", I believe is that No HE or HEL experienced the trials and tribulations known as "DIRT MOUNTAIN" like some of the late FE

First Edition was really a misnomer given the Ford's performance with the 2021 Launch

Standards get it too ...

I think the HEs had it worse, no FEs were cancelled! While HEs didn't have dirt mountain we definitely had delay after delay with original builds supposed to start in March but nothing rolled out until June and those were 4 doors. I was originally an April build and finally got built in August and in hindsight I was one of the lucky ones. Check the Heritage thread, we have July " in production" dates just now getting delivered if they didn't get cancelled outright!

Ok, I’ll be captain obvious. One is FE and the other is HE!

Cancelation is Easier to deal with than the Knowledge that your Bronco is Built and Sitting Impounded on Dirt and later Ice Mountain. Exposed to dust, dirt, weather and in a few cases varmit damage. Aging, Depreciating and loosing that new Bronco smell before you your first wiff.

And let's not forget the poor souls that had their Broncos damaged or destroyed in a couple of the train derailments.

2021-22 was a hard, difficult time for being an early Bronco Brother or Sister.

For me, I was a lucky one even though my "New 2021 Base" was already last year's model within a week after I picked it up.

At least my new 2021 wasn't delivered in the Spring of '22 along side the 1st of the new 2022 Broncos like some poor folks. Talk about insult to injury.

But hey, my color is AMB so I have that going for me which is nice

Do all of the FE have carpet floors? Or do some have rubberized floors with drain plugs?

Is it possible to convert to rubberized + drain plugs after purchase?

I just got a 2 door HEL, I'll be taking that sticker off. I don't get the hole making a Heritage Edition and putting a Sasquatch sticker on it. Lol wrong demographic ford

You are not kidding. I am still bitter at Ford for how they treated me, despite a very early RSVP. I fought with them to the end to get my order through, then faced the old shenanigans at the dealership. ** One bonus is, they pay us off with a crap ton of Ford points. Enough to buy me a free set of Nitto ridge grapplers
