Should I get another Bronco?

Why no tow hooks?

Yeah just from video and pictures I notice a few things..

New tires.
Missing emblem from rear door.
No tow hooks

I wish their pictures were bigger.

Why no tow hooks?

Would some winch mounts require them to be removed/moved?

Just guessing, but I'd bet the first owner modified it up, maybe a winch or bumper, ditch lights (still there), emblems, tires? , wheels? and then stripped it back down to trade. 29 day owner may have been a broker or other dealer.

Doh. Good point,. Mine had the 'ford' winch and yes, the tow hooks are removed for that.

Be interesting if previous owner was on here.

The Ford dealer here actually has a 2023 2.3 4d at Big Bend w/Mid package & 12" screen & copilot 360, w/Hard Top new on the lot for $47k. I'd get at least $1k off that because of coming from Jeep right now...
And a 2024 4d AT, hard top, big bend in transit. $46k. Looks like base with a 12" screen and tow package.
Oh the temptations...

Either of these look pretty good, especially if you prefer a hardtop.

Another anomaly with this Bronco, besides it missing it's tailgate emblem, the tailgate has black hinges when they should be cyber orange. And they are not replacements to strengthen the tire. Something is funky with this truck. I would suggest the back end has been in an accident.

Another anomaly with the photos is that the tailgate has black hinges when they should be cyber orange.

Good catch. Yeah, I'll be skipping this one. But I will take a look at one of the 2024's at the Ford dealer.

Second hand shenanigans with all used vehicles especially ones with a design to modify and healthy aftermarket

Wait for the refresh and keep your butt cool bro

I don’t know that Jeep dealers are much better than Ford dealers in my experience. Personally I’d hold out for a lux package. I’d miss adaptive cruise.

Adaptive cruise is AWESOME. Sold my '21MY BL Non-Sas with Mid package. Bought a '24MY BL SAS with Lux. I do a lot of highway and the the adaptive cruise is a must have in my view.

I second this. I want a soft top and was thinking of looking into trading my FE in on a heritage with dual tops. However, I decided to just get the trek top and wait for the refresh.

24s have lane centering also that wasn't available before.

Lane centering was on my '21MY BL non-SAS mid package.

No, that's lane keep that ping-pongs. Lane centering during ACC will stay between the lines.

Bronco Sports have it (see https://www.broncosportforum.com/fo...between-lane-keeping-and-lane-centering.3033/) which I was surprised about. I met a fellow Bronco owner at a meet who had a Sport before and her only complaint was the lack of lane centering.

"Lane CENTERING - Available only when adaptive cruise control is on. Lane markings on screen turn green. Car will actively follow the lane. Really cool.

Lane KEEPING - Active all the time (above 40mph per the manual). Lane markings turn white on the screen. Car will push you back into the lane if you drift. Ping Pong effect. "

Pretty much all modern cars have lane centering with ACC except Jeeps. Hyundai/Kias have it a lane-centering option separate from ACC/cruise. You press the button and the car stays centered. I rented a crappy Sonota recently and was surprised at how well it worked for 90+ miles of my drive... even non-divided highways.
