I have been extremely happy with mine. I went back and forth between a base four door Sasquatch optioned with everything Ford would let me put on it. Or a four door Badlands with every option Ford would let me put on it.

There was about $15k in price difference and after driving some dealer demos, I decided the $15k was worth all the options.

Those were the two trims plus options that made the most of what I wanted my Bronco to be for what I thought were good deals. One was about $45k and the other about $60k. For what you get, those both seemed like good values.
Yay! So glad to hear that you are happy with your Bronco. :)

My only regret is not reserving 2 so I could sell one and pay for half of the one I would keep.

I was on the fence between Badlands and Wildtrak for the entire time I was waiting. Happy to have the wash out interior, I have already been stuck in a storm with my doors off... I do think the tan dash and brown leather of the Wildtrak stand out more than they all grey/black of the Badlands

I would only change 2 things on the entire truck, a lighter color interior (the dark grey gets HOT) and the full digital dash from the raptor (the analog speedo is pointless, I think I have looked at it twice and both times it was too small to give me more than a 5 mph estimate). Both are still unavailable.

Thanks for the great follow-up

We have a 22 BL 2d Sasquatch High ordered and already have the Zone 1" LK waiting.

Against popular opinion here @ B6G, I am a fan of the pocket flares for tire coverage.

I also like how they have the inner no drill mount

Had they not already been on the Bronco when I bought it I likely wouldn’t have put them on just based on the pic in the catalog. I think they look awful on the orange. Seeing them on my blue was totally different. I like the look, the slope to allow snow to slide off as opposed to the square ones on my Jeep that make a great shelf for it to pile up. With the 35’s it looks like everything is in proportion.

I love my OBX "Mallsquatch" with HD Mod Bumper, Roast Leather, & AUX Switches. A hard top would be nice, but Ford doesn't seem to have those figured out yet.

That is a sharp looking ride, best looking interior and exterior combo they make!

If only Ford would have let me pair that color scheme with manual and sas 😭

Regret not getting rear lockers on my OBX. I wish could do all the lockers/sway bar and everything but the interior color was worth it.

One potential regret.

Because Ford took away the best color (Rapid Red), I had to change colors for MY22.

I picked HPR, and since I don't actually HAVE a bronco, I don't know what it looks like in real life. So I might potentially regret not paying the extra for Cyber Orange.
Saw HPR at the beach last week and it’s stunning. Very copper looking in the daylight and it just glows. 🤩 It’s so much nicer than the photos online, I think you’ll like it.

Nope. I ordered exactly what I wanted.

Thought I was going to regret buying it and if I am honest, the first couple of days getting used to the brakes and sight lines when compared to my Infiniti had me thinking I would let my wife be its primary driver.

However, that changed after our trip to the beach and it keeps getting better. Love this thing.

I have Iconic Silver, the black will be fine or I can paint silver

I wish I went with the Lux package, but that's about it. Everything else is amazing!

honestly, I'm starting to regret getting involved in this whole debacle - it's been 23 months since I reserved, and still have NO build date - that's unbelievable to me. I've seen HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS get built faster. And, as someone who has worked in customer service for my entire career - the absolute lack of communication and service from Ford is unreal - and it's making me not only resent @Ford ... but seriously - I am starting to HATE them, and hope they go bankrupt.
That bites. :( For my part, I'm not unhappy Ford dragged their feet releasing the Bronco, because instead I bought a sports car, and pavement driving is a blast. I love sports cars now, never knew what I was missing.

Would still like to get a Bronco someday, although at the moment, not motivated to put much effort due to all the hijinks. Hope Bronco is a success for the genre, and Ford gets their act together eventually churning them out, leaving behind the ADMs/flipping/multi-Bronco goofball stuff in the rearview mirror.

They’re essentially carbonized grey, so I think they’ll look great with the silver I think!

Haven't received my Bronco, no VIN, no production date etc., but I have no regrets with my order. I have about every constraint sans the tow package, and I'm not budging!

No regrets... but I traded in a 2019 Bullitt... and I am missing all that power and sound. Wish the Bronco had more power and sounded better!

If Ford ever releases a V8 Bronco, I will buy it immediately!
