I don’t even know if I want it now 🤦🏼‍♂️

One reason is that some of the bugs from the earlier years have been taken care of in 2023-2024. Better sound deadening, better build quality... especially if your current rig has those issues.

Agreed. MY23.5 seems to be very solid.

OP my order never showed up so I impulse purchased a non-SAS OBX three weeks ago for MSRP.

I am very happy with my decision.

In hindsight, my favorite trim now is the non-SAS Badlands. I think that is the best Bronco for the money hands down.

So, the 2-door BD I had on order since 2020 is sitting at the dealership. Now I don’t even know if I’m going to pick it up.

Rewind, I was able to find a BB with everything I ordered except the Mid Package for MSRP awhile back when I wasn’t sure if the BD was going to get a build date. The BB has given me no problems and usually gets 24mpg. Not a bad problem to have I know, but I wasn’t expecting it.

Anyone else having this issue?

It simply depends what you plan to do with your Bronco.

1. Does the BB have AdvancedTrac?
1a. Does your BD have AdvancedTrac?

If one or the other does not - I would stick with whichever vehicle has 4A.

2. Is a rear locker, rock rails, bash plates, and steel bumpers important to you?

I guess what I am saying is the BD is much more capable off road than your BB so if that is your thing then it needs to be BD.

But if that ISN'T your thing - if one has 4A and one doesn't - I would spring for the one with 4A - bonus points if it is the BD.

Interesting enough I am in almost the polar opposite situation as you. My MY23 BD (AdvancedTrac, 2.7, 4dr, mid, soft) is set to arrive at the dealer any day now and I have already told them sell it because the MSRP is $50k.

For $53k I ordered an MY24 BB Sasquatch w/mid, 2.3, mod bumper, 12" screen, HOSS 3.0 steering - for $3k more it is a no brainer for me.

I sold my 22 BaseSquatch for $54,500 so before tax I am still ultimately +$1,500 with so many more options.

If you don't want it, someone will gladly take it off your hands. Not going to hurt anyone but yourself. I get where you're coming from though. Tough spot.

If you like to work for it and deal making is your thing, work on trading it in. Just keep in mind keeping what you got is just fine.

Otherwise, keep what you got.

 

[Black_Stallion13]

I mean… they are basically the same thing. It’s not like you are going from a standard Big Bend to a SAS Badlands or something. My .02 would be to keep what u got. Another couple years there will prob be a diff vehicle you want anyways or a significant redesign.

If the dealer thinks they can get a better deal by adding the truck to inventory I don't see why they are going to give you top dollar for a trade in. Although from what I see, inventory is finally starting to increase so they may want to unload it.

My BB is an early/mid 2023. I agree. The BL is nice.

Funny enough, neither one has 4A. But you make a good point. A new 2024 BB might not be that much different than the 23 BD.

It will also save on taxes. I’ll factor that in.

New FJ maybe. But your probably right.

A BB can be optioned with a rear locker so that statement isn't true. Unless he said his specifically doesn't have it, but I didn't see that.

The other components are negligible & easily added.

I just saw you can add the rear locker to the MY24 BB. Decisions

You've always been able to, lol.
