More 2023 Bronco changes confirmed: Base sound gets 7 speakers, HOSS 3.0 standard on Wildtrak, Azure Gray added, Cyber Orange removed

I don't know how good the lighting is, but it does give some idea of the difference between upcoming colors. Especially Area 51 vs Azure Gray Metallic. Robin's Egg Blue looks Turquoise and I about freaked out thinking Ford had a new color up their sleeve, but no. If this holds, knowing Antimatter Blue won't be around would make my decision easier. But nothings official until it's posted by Ford in the upcoming order guide.

Thanks for sharing that picture. When I saw the REB on the bottle, I had to zoom in thinking it was a Caribbean Turquoise. The bottle looks nothing like the REB Mannequin that Ford paraded around on the HEL.

Hard to comment about the lighting but it's definitely good enough to confirm that AGM is at least what I've been posting pics of. The order guide should be out Monday so this at least gives me my color choice for the standard HE so if there's no surprises I'll be switching my order when I can. Thanks again!

I take back everything I said. Azure gray isn’t as boring as Area 51. It’s more boring.

Now, let’s see if I switch to it when I reorder for ‘23….

WOW Weak colors. why would anyone drop Cyber Orange and add just yet one more gray color.

I know Ford is trying to finish off their existing orders until November.

Any idea how soon we’ll be able to order a new Wildtrak and have it delivered? Spring 23? Summer 23?

Note: The additional speaker is not a center dash speaker but rather the rear sub-woofer.

Just what they needed, another gray color…

I really don’t understand this notion that the wildtrack is the top trim level and hence the only trim available with HOSS 3.0. A badlands equipped to match a wildtrack will run you 2k over the price of the WT. That is upgrading the skid plates on the WT and upgrading the BL bumper to match. The WT will have cloth and carpet the BL vinyl and washout as standard. I don’t get why the better shocks don’t go to the best trim. Not to mention the SBD.

Big let down in color choices if this is the line up. Gray everywhere you look. Heritage should have at least 3 throwback colors right out of the gate. Including Robins Egg for the standard Heritage. Not just the Limited. I guess we'll see soon enough.

Grey everywhere you look !
Too much for me for sure

Ford getting back to the simple roots of Henry Ford. "You can have any color you want, as long as it's a gray"

They’re equal trims, just different use cases. Think Gladiator Mojave vs Gladiator Rubicon.

Ones for speed, ones for crawling. Same thing here. Badlands doesn’t need those shocks if you’re using it for what it was designed for.

I hope Gray is available Monday!! lol

You'll have plenty of gray options on Monday. Too many in fact. Ford's Bronco color team has issues. A majority of the exterior colors are boring, and the interior accents colors just don't make sense. I hope there is at least one surprise color on Monday for the Heritage but that's doubtful.

I agree with that idea with one caveat. The upgraded rack and tie rods would benefit those with larger tires running their front locker over rocks more than it would someone running fast across the desert in 2WD.

I can agree on the tie rods, they should be on both models. Both can use the upgraded parts though. I know Jeep beefed up everything on the Mojave vs the rubicon for the extra shock of going fast.
