First Edition Bronco Thread

[chtucker]

The FE is listed as having all option "packages".... Any conjecture what individual options will be available (Body colored hardtop, flares, tops, tube doors, etc etc.)????

I have 2 Door FE Reserved Area-51 Color I think

I had a Wrangler JKU Dragon Edition so I’m a sucker for the special editions.

Not to panic all FE buyers. But I just went on the Ford build site for the Bronco Sport. The only interior option they're offering on the FE is the Navy Pier. I hope this isn't the case with the regular Bronco. I'd probably switch my FE reservation to Wildtrak before I would buy a vehicle with Navy Blue interior. Just my humble opinion. On a better note the other packages offer a ebony, ebony/brown and ebony/active orange interiors that looks very nice.

Ugh. I am thinking that might be the case. I need to see it and the Area51 color in person but was looking forward to the saddle interior myself

I'm with you on the saddle leather interior. I was hoping for Cactus Grey with saddle or saddle/black. I'd even be happy to do the Brown/Ebony leather they're offering on the other models. Just don't kill the hole FE vibe and make Navy Pier our only option.

The Sport FE is different than the Bronco. The Bronco FE has the interior of the Outer Banks with leather trim available

Nice Summary from Robb Report;

An automotive amalgamation, the First Edition features all of the tough-as-nails parts from the Badlands, including modular bumpers, bash plates, an advanced automatic 4×4, high clearance suspension and more, along with the Wildtrak’s aggressive exterior, which includes a blacked-out hardtop and grille and black wheels. Inside, it has the Outer Banks’ luxurious interior and features heated leather seats, rubberized flooring, full carpets and a 12-inch LCD screen. It really brings together the best of the Bronco world.

Power-wise, the First Edition packs a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 and 10-speed automatic transmission. It’s anticipated to produce 310 horses and has an impressive towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. The off-roader also gets the Sasquatch package, which adds front and rear locking differentials, Bilstein shocks, 35-inch tires with 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, a 4.7 final drive-ratio and unique fender flares.

the sport FE also has the “refined style of the Outer Banks”

Sadly it clearing states the FE uses the interior of the Outer Banks. Are only hope here is we have the option to go with Ebony/Brown and not just stuck with the navy pier. No wonder they were showing one off custom interiors. Probably because most FE owners are going to have to gut the navy leather and do something custom just to get rid of Navy pair.

dealer response when I asked about ADM and X plan pricing on my reserved FE:

"Congrats on getting the order in on time to reserve the First Edition – we’ve had a lot of calls this morning from customers asking how they can reserve one now that they show sold out. Ford has not disclosed yet whether there will be X Plan pricing available on the Bronco, but due to the unprecedented demand and the extremely limited production of the First Edition we would not be able to honor an X Plan price on this model even if they had it. We are planning on marking up the First Edition over MSRP, as it will be one of only 3500 made and each dealer will be lucky to get 1 or 2 in total. "

My dealer said MSRP or X-Plan. No ADM. BUT, that could change. I really hope it doesn't...

I reserved a FE because the stupid reservation website wouldn’t let me reserve any other model. It would go to an error page every time. Lol. Depending on the price, I will probably downgrade to a Badlands or Black Diamond.

I reserved a FE beacuse I wanted a loaded up top of the line Bronco. Based on this interior pic it looked like this would be the top of line interior. Bumed out when I heard it was a one off interior. At least they could of offered it as a upgrade. I'd gladly pay for it. In my book Ford will go from from Hero to Zero if Navy Peir is the only option for the FE. If anyone from Ford is reading this thread Please give us another option besides Navy Pier, I begging you. I'll glady take the Ebony/Brown your already offering, just get sick to my stomach when I see blue leather.
