Differences between the model years?

[4LifeBronco]

I’ve been searching for the answer to this question. What are the differences between the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Bronco? Not the trim levels or paint but what was changed over the years? Tech, looks, capabilities, anything. Appreciate the help.

You can tell its a 22 because they do not display the AC temperature readout on the knobs just on the screen but I think it came back for 23s.

Lets see...
Changed the Hardtop to a newer one that still cracks.
Got rid of digital turn dials on temperature knobs for some time due to chip shortage, but have them back again.
Wildtrak has upgraded shocks/suspension on newer ones.
Possibility of getting rid of subwoofer.
Some others I'm forgetting.

21’s are the best FYI

Only get Rapid Red in a ‘21

Base had limited colors in 21. Capable bumper becoming standard on BD and BLs and hoss 3.0 an option/then standard on the WT along with the WT getting the capable bumper. Rumors had circulated the early 21 manual transmissions didn't have grinding issues, that has since been debunked. Rear sway bar addition in some Sasquatches(?). The number of extra screw holes in the roll bars. Did the WT lose color matching mirrors and door handles? At one time you got 2 recovery rings under the rear bumper.

Hmm ...

'23s have the speed strakes on the side mirrors now, possibly better/tighter fitting soft-top windows. Also for this year we had sig light delete, nav delete, subwoofer delete but gained back the temp dials.

Wasn't there something with the WT mannequins having a soft-top? You might want to go back and look at all the build/order guides and they'll tell you any major revisions but there haven't been many that I can remember.

The park brake switch changed at some point between 21 and 23.

Don’t think there were any serious tech upgrades between the model years thus far. Taliking the Sync system which I‘d imagine newer chips like in my 2023 would be better or faster, but that’s not always the case.

You’ll likely see things more noticeable for MY 2024.

Ohh and 23s still got that new car smell! Ha ha!

My '22 has the temperature displayed on the knobs.

The biggest mechanical I know is all '23 Wildtraks have the Hoss 3.0 standard now.

Changes as of MY2023:

1. Cyber Orange color removed on all models; Azure Gray metallic color added
2. HOSS 3.0 suspension standard on Wildtrak
3. Sound system only 6 speakers vs 7 (subwoofer removed)
4. Substantial price increases on models and options like SAS, HD Mod Bumper, Hard Top
5. Digital temperature gauges reintroduced on control knobs
   

For me, the sound system would be the biggest qualify of life decrease.

@jacobr noted that his sound system (presumably the 7-speaker setup) was garbage, and I can confirm that the 7-speaker audio setup with a Badlands has flat bass, and virtually zero mid range output. It's fine for listening to the radio with the top closed and windows rolled up, but the minute I open the soft top or remove the doors, I struggle to even tell what song is playing while driving above 45mph. By comparison, my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with factory subwoofer was clear as a bell and plenty loud at highway speeds.

Soft top now has a stitch seam along the sides so that the rain doesn’t pour on you when you step out.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Antimatter Blue and Rapid Red in 2021 only.
No manual Sasquatch in 2021.



Did capable bumper exist in '21?

I'm really interested to see what builds/colors/options 2024 brings us ... not that I'll be ordering one.
