The white dash is a show stopper for me.

At the risk of being accused of trolling, every attempt auto manufacturers have made to go retro has failed miserably. The reissues are generally all looked at as dated and lame some time later, while the originals are still well respected. It’s like getting a Gibson reissue or a Fender road worn IMO. If you want a retro Bronco, my opinion is to go buy an old Bronco and make it beautiful. New Broncos pretending to be old Broncos do not, IMO, exhibit any taste.

This. Like the BL better but that white is just off. The white on the BB screen surround looks bad too. Gimme that Bauer edition tan!

VW Bug, Thunderbird, Chevy SSR would be my counter examples.

But once you are talking about a limited edition vehicle in the high ~$60,000 range I would absolutely expect something a little more special than what they came up with.

We don’t know what a ‘23 badlands will cost. Maybe the heritage isn’t any more expensive. But yeah I see what you mean in terms of something extra special for it being “limited edition”. But couldn’t the same be said about a FE?

White Dash is a big giant puking no. It's just gross, and will get disgustingly filthy.

Every 1960s and 70's car I ever owned had a body colored dash. Of course, back then the dash was metal.

Not a fan of the white grill either, would have liked chrome a lot more.

Also, it seems that you can only get Yellowstone on the $66K one, not the $45k one? Lame.

I like some elements of them, but not the overall package... also don't love all the white.

Love:
Fender Flares (same as everglades)
Brown Leather Interior
Wheels (prefer the everglades version/color)
Grille (if it were black)

There were No 4D Broncos prior to 2021..... so doing a Heritage in something OTHER than the ORIGINAL 2D is Just Wrong..... IMHO....

Like I've said before, if they do a Heritage in 4D, the can do the Raptor in a 2D!!!!

sorry..... stepping down off of the soapbox now......

at least they got the shape of the fenders right......

Love the white dash

Top should have been white from the start.

Love the white dash

I wish ford would allow for interiors to be selected across trim levels vs only in limited trims. We could all be happy.

I don’t like any of the Heritage Edition colors I’ve so far seen offered. I’d rather customize on my own by painting the grill/top and adding a retro stripe. I’m going Eruption Green with my reorder next month for my 7/20/20 reservation. The Heritage limited Edition starts at $68,490( and I’ll guess could be optioned up to $75k or more) which seems a bit high as my order is $60k and change with 4dr/OBX/Sasquatch/Lux/Leather/2.7/Modular/aux switches and a couple other adds ons I’m forgetting.

God I can already see my wife putting her feet on the dash and thinking nothing of it. Just the white dash is enough to drive me away as well.
