Should I trade my 23 Wildtrak in for a 21 First Edition

[Carl Sagan]

don't even consider such a thing!

HOSS 3.0 and the minor changes on the 23, also less buggy than a 21!

Value Retention and I think the Lighting Blue is beautiful

If you really want Lightning Blue then I that would be your choice.

If you DD your First Edition, it isn't going to retain any extra value over any other similarly equipped Bronco. Maybe if you put it in a hermetically sealed garage and don't drive it for the next 30 years then you might have something slightly more valuable than any other 2021 Bronco.

Hi,

Just wanted to ask other bronco fans their opinion on something, I have been debating trading in my 23 Wildtrak Lux with 3K Miles for a 21 First Edition with 1900 Miles. Please let me know your opinions!

Thanks

Brian

You're trading a hoss 3.0 in for a hoss 2.0, I vote no! Downgrading the suspension and steering rack...

The FE depending on build date is fast approaching or already exceeded its bumper to bumper warranty. Your 23 probably has at least 24 pr more months left

Sorry man, but no Bronco is going to hold it’s value in excess of what they do now for maybe 15-20 years and only if it’s locked up in a collector’s garage, but not even sure that’ll be a thing in 20 years anyway.

First Editions were nice and all, but it’s an off-roader. Take a look at the market for old Wranglers; not nearly what the market is for sports cars of the same era. Until recent years, old Broncos and Scouts weren’t worth much mainly because they’re very pedestrian and utilitarian vehicles, not show trucks.

I wouldn’t trade a ‘23 for a ‘21, but that’s me. I’d just build up the WT if that‘s important. Otherwise, enjoy the rig.

Broncos ain’t baseball cards, Starting Lineup dolls, or comic books. Wheel it or leave it alone.

You are giving up a much better (softer, faster) shock/ride in the Wildtrak. If your more of a rock crawler maybe. I would not.

I don't think it's worth it...its an (AA) motor...probably with a 208 build day...give up suspension for sway bar disconnect...no way...but hey you get an extra sticker

 

[hemiblas]

Agreed with some of the other posts. Don't do it.

I would have agreed to your response, but I've had a total different experience. I purchased a 73 Bronco 35 years ago for $5000. A desert car with 50,000 miles, bone stock. Hagerty called me and advised that I increase the insurance to $82,000 after verifying a couple items. It's a baseball card.

Keep the 2023 end of story

No way I would trade away the Hoss 3.0 rack and Fox suspension for a first addition

Should mention I have a 23 Wildtrak being built this week. 2 years in the waiting. It will be in the family at least as long as the 73.

Did you actually read my post? Go back and do that.

I said “until recently” Broncos and Scouts weren’t really worth much. Today, sure now that all of the hipsters and wanna be tough guys have emerged who want that “look”.

However, back when there weren’t a ton of hipsters, off-roaders were not collected or worth much.

Also, you said a ‘73. Well, that stretch of maybe ‘72 - ‘75 are likely the most coveted Broncos, so yeah, you need more insurance.

To my point, you paid maybe $5K 30 years ago which is what I was saying.

A new ’21, even First Edition, ain’t no ‘73 and will never be. Only collectible Bronco will be a Raptor and again, that’s maybe 20 years away if ever.
