First look at Ruby Red 2025 Bronco Heritage Edition!

[DancingBear51]

Does anyone know if those new runningboards are replacing the old ones entirely (on all runningboard models)? Or is that version specific to the HE / Sas?

For the record 6G started with rapid red. Which was my second choice after AMB. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. I personally love this color.

Still bummed about getting bumped to 22 and losing rapid red. Race red was junk by comparison IMO. Moved to VB.

The Sasquatch badge is in a weird spot….

It is in the same location as found all the MY24 Heritage Editions.

It’s still weird…

Yes! Especially when you consider that the 2-door manual configuration is part of its HERITAGE. Duh.

Clearly, a meaningful number of customers prefer the 2-door and manual transmission.

Looks like the HEs are getting version 2 of the painted mod top with it being white inside as well, all us OG HE owners were black/gray inside. Too bad Ford killed off the 2 door Heritage but that poor horse has already been beat enough.

The white top inside would be nice. Reminds me of the Gen 1’s. Like you said, too bad no more 2 door Heritages.

I agree.
Ford needs to stop calling these 4 doors a "Bronco Heritage" simply because it has a white top and squared fenders (that almost nobody but a car-geek would notice). Ford, preserve your "heritage" and give the package a different name.

The Chinese Broncos all have the squared fenders (and no 2 door options). The new dash cluster and rear vents were standard at launch for China so I'm fully expecting whatever/whenever mid-cycle refresh Ford does for the US market will have the squared fenders across the board and probably no 2 door or manual options .

I never found any MTs (4 or 2 door) on a dealer's lot. I suspect that we all had to order our 2 door Broncos as a manual.

Now I am curious.
Does anyone know if Ford publishes production data on which configurations are customer orders versus dealer orders?

Interesting.... In 2019, I worked in China for 3 weeks. I saw that the very wealthy love to drive western designed cars -- the bigger or faster, the more they are desired. And none seem to know how to drive an MT -- even on the expensive Ferraris and MacLaurens.

@Lowcountry Bronco , what year did Ford launch Bronco's in China?

Ford is not producing 2.3L/7-spd Heritage models at the present time.
Production of that spec begins in April.

Why do peop

That Ruby Red is pretty sweet. Huge upgrade to have rear vents and a digital cluster. The HE is still one of the best all-around packages you can get for your money I think.

Why do people think a center rear vent is a big update? Who cares?
