I'd be interested in what is available as a Heritage model. Could be a trade coming...LOL!

The white wheels are the best part!It def works great on early broncos. But I donāt think it translates 100% to the new body style. Itās just not the same vehicle. The same color can look great on one vehicle and terrible on another.
of course this is all subjective. To each their own. There are some mods out there I think are god awful, but itās not my truck and if it makes that person happy.
edit:
Iām gonna modify my opinion a little bit. The white grille and white wheels is what throws me off the most. The white top alone isnāt really a problem and would probably look nice.
Exactly this, Oxford is too harsh. An off white will do the trick.The two problems are...
1.) The EBs had Wimbledon White trim, not Oxford White. Oxford is like plastic Lego white, while Wimbledon was more of a dirty sneaker off-white. Ford offered Wimbledon White on a special anniversary Mustang a while back. That is what they need to do if they are serious about it being "heritage".

Nope, has to have three on the tree to be Heritage.Like to see it get a stick shift.
While it would be awesome, we already know Ford found the cutoff points to push buyers unto the next trim level. I have a BL 2.7 LUX SAS on order and would gladly move down to a BD 2.7 HIGH SAS if that option was available but Ford knows they would lose $5-6k from that. I know the 12" screen is mostly for the showing the extra views of the cameras High and Lux packages have but just the ability to option the screen without High or Lux would put me into a BD ASAP.It would be so sweet if BD came standard with 12 inch and 360 cameras, or at least gave the option to add High or Lux package as an option to obtain if not standard.
I would be very happy being pushed back if that became a reality in 2023.
Yep, and coming from the Base Sas 2.7 camp the $5k to jump to the BD was just too much.While it would be awesome, we already know Ford found the cutoff points to push buyers unto the next trim level.

Agreed, the Bronco's grille wears on me the more I see it. The sharp corners seem to poke out of the more rounded fenders, and it really sticks out of the front of the vehicle instead of being inset.The white wheels are the best part!

2.) The EB grill is flat and inset deep into the front, surrounded by a large amount of body color. The few people who have painted the outer edges of the grill body color and only painted the center portion white are getting much closer to a true EB homage.

After seeing this build I'm convinced making the grill narrower would vastly improve the Bronco's looks, I'm hoping they do something like that for the 2024 facelift.
Defintelly wishful thinking on my part, but you are right. They exclude it to steer folks to the Badlands trim to make more $$. I think many folks would switch to BD if it could get the cameras and bigger screen and all else the same.While it would be awesome, we already know Ford found the cutoff points to push buyers unto the next trim level.

3 on the tree is great, but what about 7?Nope, has to have three on the tree to be Heritage.
Also needs to say "FORD" instead of "BRONCO"Agreed, the Bronco's grille wears on me the more I see it. The sharp corners seem to poke out of the more rounded fenders, and it really sticks out of the front of the vehicle instead of being inset.

For the $5,500 price difference, Badlands is a killer deal over Black Diamond considering the hardware upgradesDefintelly wishful thinking on my part, but you are right.

After doing the Off-rodeo in Moab in May Iām definitely jonesinā to drop the ā99ā status. Iām hoping that we have waited out the worst of the delays and Ford can get the assembly lines cookinā and get the white tops in stock. Probably just cursed my luck by stating that publiclyā¦ š«£.As one who lovingly owned ā74 in Wind Blue, Iām glad to see Ford potentially offering that color. Iām not dead-set on it thoughāIām hoping ultimately for Yellowstone or Boxwood Green. August canāt get here soon enough so we can find out exactly what lies ahead for the Heritage Edition. Iām jonesinā to un-99 my order for a 2023 and receive it by 2025.
