ran across this lightning blue FE - in case anyone is looking for one. Based on some very useful information and links on this post passed it by, but it is a great color.
All things considered, that is a better deal than many new Broncos, but I am sure that they can come down further. It's barely broken inran across this lightning blue FE - in case anyone is looking for one. Based on some very useful information and links on this post passed it by, but it is a great color.

Possibly too late now but one wordThank you all for your input and great insight.
we decided to get the LB FE mostly because I love the color and it appears to have all the options I want. I will monitor the suspension and engine closely and I see the HOSS 3.0 is a possible upgrade down the road. This engine has 18k miles and sounds good, so we are hoping for no issues. It appeared to me that most of the failures happened at lower miles.
thanks again for the advice and input.
Plastic
No no not that word from The Graduate, this word
WARRANTY
The expiration in mere days or months if not already based on the FE original in service date. Did you buy an extended warranty? You are halfway there with mileage but closer to end with months.

I’m no expert, but my research when deciding to buy a bronco seemed to point to hard top and soft top issues that have been mostly addressed by now. Soft top is a little better quality and hard top had rattles in the hinge pins. Some reviewers even noted the early headaches ford suffered through for the tops.

I did think of that. It is still covered by the 5year /60,000 mile powertrain warranty. As for the bumper-to-bumper 3year/ 36,000 mile warranty that has always been vitally worthless to me. Anytime I would try to use it. I would have to wait forever to get it into Ford and then they would end up charging me for things that weren’t covered anyway. In my experience, it’s easier just to make the repairs myself and know it’s done right. I try to avoid dealership at all costs.
Welcome to the club! No hardtop or other major issues on mine. Got it used in December of '22. Mine has about 18k on it.

Does yours have the navy gray or black interior? When I got mine, there was one of each on my radar. I really do like the black, but I generally go for interiors that have something other than just black (392 is black and red, BMW is black and tan, 95 wrangler is green and tan), so I went for the navy/gray. I think someone on here once referred to it as the 'Karen interior', lol.
I like it, but I'd love it if they would have offered Roast or something with a darker brown option for the FE.

We got the black interior, we saw both, but I kind of like the molle panel on the back of the front seats and only saw it on the black. I was also concerned about the lighter color looking dirtier faster.
we actually looked at a few of these in different places and decided on this one.
Yep, the navy/gray doesn't have the molle panel. My thought process was having the top off and the black seats getting hot faster (I got a bestop soft top and have it back/off a lot in the summer).
The interior on mine stays pretty clean looking. The scratches show up on the blue plastic or the black either way I suppose. Either way, can't go wrong.

The "Karen" interior is the Black option. Remember back in the fall of 2020, there was a single interior on the FEs. Reservation holders whined when they saw the renders. The faux outrage over the renders caused Ford to capitulate and offer the black interior to appease the whiny reservation holders. Needless to say, the outrage was misplaced as the renders were not accurate to the actual Navy/Gray interior.
So every FE reservation holder that opted for the black interior should wear the badge of shame as Ford never intended the FE to look that way.
Ah ok! I had it backwards then.
Now that you say that, I was on the forums around then and remember that. I did end up having an order in for a FE with the black interior. The order fell through (due to a db dealer) and I ended up going for the navy/gray on my used FE that I got a year later.
That is correct about the renders. The Navy pier looks WAY better in person than those renders did.
