Heartbroken! No advance on 2024 OBX?!

[WIDirtFishing]

I have been out of the Bronco game for awhile but looking to place an order after renting one on a trip to Cali.
I can’t believe advance 4x4 is only available on the OBX if you get the SAS package…
I live in WI… I don’t need SAS, but 4A for snow and sleet would be great. Same build with 2.7 Badlands is about $4200ish dollars more due to the manual being standard. I’m almost more willing to pay slight ADM for a 2023 OBx now, but wanted to order my own. Dang…

Best to start your Bronco hunt by searching for a comparable build than you would have ordered. Might get lucky and find one with the cloth seats that are no longer an option.

yea that’s what I’m doing now. Looking at 2023s and see if I can get lucky. However there are two Broncos in my neighborhood. Both carbonized gray. Found a new 2023 OBx with almost everything including Advanced 4x4 and its f*ckin gray lol

Get it wrapped. Cost to do so is surely cheaper than paying the upcharge for the '24 Badlands.

Or expand your search around the country. It doesn't cost much to fly and drive or have it shipped to your door.

Just tell her the Bronco is whatever colour you’re going to wrap it, and get it done before you drive it home.

Any other issues you’d like my advice on?

Sorry that sucks.
And yeah I definitely wouldn't want one without 4A. I could live without it, but wouldn't want to.

Yes, the 4A on the OBX is very worth the upgrade, along with the 4.27 axle and rear locker. I was fortunate to get it on my 2021, and it works flawlessly in slippery conditions. Very heartbreaking for Ford to eliminate the AutoTC on the non-SAS OBX. Knowing what I do now after 2 years, If you want to factory order for 2024, I'd take the cheaper of:
1. OBX Sasquatch (run AT or winter ice tires so its a good road car)
2. Non-sasquatch Badlands, and you can put whatever 33's you want on it in the winter.

I'm wondering if, with all the extras that come with OBX now (Leather, Lux Package) if the standard Badlands might be less expensive than OBX with Sasquatch. Badlands non-SAS also has the 4.46 axles, which might give you 1mpg over the Sasquatch 4.7 axles.

Non-Sas Badlands has the same 4.7 gearing as Sasquatch. This pick is from my window sticker.

You must have the manual transmission. I believe the auto has the 4.46

B&P still shows the Lux as an added cost option, mid is standard .... unless I missed something.
Staying with Mid pkg, a similar standard Badlands worked out $2k cheaper than the OBX w/Squatch.

Will MGV vs leather be an issue ???

That is correct, I have one.
The auto brings the 4.46 gear set with it .... unfortunately, in my opinion.
But the 4.46 works wonderfully with the 33's and auto.

Nice work! I was remembering that High was now combined with Lux on OBX, but forgot it was still an option!
