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

OP stated his BB is not 4A - which means it isn't SAS and doesn't have a rear locker. A BB cannot be optioned with a rear locker without SAS.

"Other components negligible"

- $1,500 in steel bumpers
- $1,000 in bash plates
- $600 in rock rails

Plus install if OP doesn't do it himself.

I guess negligible is relative. If OP wants to off road - choice is very clear, it should be BD.

Yes it can be, same as the OBX. It gets the same 4.27s gears. Unless that changed for MY23 or something (I admittedly stopped paying quite as much attention to build specifics after MY22).

And those prices are on the top end, you can get OEM takeoffs for far cheaper.

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.

Yep, I did not realize that the BB could be had with a stand alone rear-locker.

Still willing to bet that BB does not have a rear locker.

You've always been able to, lol.

Oh! I guess I wasn’t even paying attention to the BB until now.

I was in a similar situation where I ordered a Black Diamond Non-sasquatch 4d. I ended up buying a Big Bend Sasquatch 4d, that was optioned the way I would have ordered it except it lacked the tow package. By the time my BD arrived, I was not giving up Sasquatch, and i let the dealershiphave it. Carpet makes me sad, but I love everything else about my Bronco. In your specific shoes, I'd at least speak to the dealership to determine just how cooperative they might be.

I have a feeling I’ll be lowballed since I have price protection.

I m sure you will be; why would anyone expect different from the same guys who dinged all the gotta have it now folks for ADM. I m like an elephant; I don’t forget and will return the favor when the dealers are hurting… it WILL happen as all things change.

If you re happy with what you have why not just keep it. A dealer is not gonna do a transaction with you or anyone else UNLESS there’s profit in it for them. ( meaning expense for you)

Just my thoughts.

I think I will. Can’t hurt.

I agree!

There was a time (not long ago) that folks would advise to get the new truck and sell it on your own at a premium then use the extra proceeds to pay off the first one (or just line your pockets) - that keeps the extra profits away from the Dealer.

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?

At first I thought you were having second thoughts getting a Bronco, but you already have one! My advice is if you like what you have stay with it, but it is your decision of course. I would think the cost to make the switch would play into it as well.

I'm having the same issue as well... I've been a fan of the Everglades but since they were almost impossible to order, I ended up picking up a 2 door Big Bend SAS with the 2.7, mid package, and modular bumper in December. Now with the Everglades making a comeback, I placed an order on one but I'm unsure if I should stick to mine or go with the Everglades once the time comes. I'm known to be the bad influence among my friends to i'm going to say go check it out before you regret it forever but be careful because the dealer might lowball you on the trade in value of your current Bronco.

Hey FYI I traded in my eruption green 2022 Everglades with 2400 miles on it. It’s on supreme Toyota Hammond La.

I am a “bird in the had” kinda guy…after waiting a couple of years a BB showed up on the lot with my must haves (2dr, 2.7, Sasquatch) in a decent color, so I bought it…dealer just sold my ”backup BL order but my heritage order build date has been pushed (again) to the middle of next month and with the strike has little hope of ever being built this MY…plenty happy with what I got and the money I saved is going to more mods…you be you

 

[OCNORB1974]

I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever buy one. I had a day two order, 99’d it to wait on a white top, then ran into the allocation bs through Granger. Through my arms up and canceled my order to wait longer. Now I still can’t order what I want, a two door heritage with Lux, which the Ford marketing morons won’t offer on the Heritage. No way to get a Heritage Ltd. I want to give Ford money and they can’t seem to sell me what I want. Just about to give up completely.

 

[Surfnbike]

That's where I am. I want a badlands with cloth seats and carpet interior but they don't give those options any longer (I don't like plastics, especially sitting on them) so I'm looking at a '24 Toyota Land cruiser, or perhaps going old school and building up an FJ80.

Now I’m thinking if the cost isn’t much, I may pick it up….

I’m already pricing up the mods if I decide to keep the BB.
