For $1500 all of that is worth it. But it’s not worth it to make the 4/5k jump from 2door base to 2door BB and then pay 1500. But I’m a basequatch + 2.7 guy so take my opinion with a grain of salt

I’d trade heated seats for heated steering wheel in a Heartbeat. Loved it on all my cars never really used the heated seats .Don't really like my ass getting to hot ?

Nope. Ever dealt with Fords lane keep assist or pre collision braking?? Almost as big of a pile of garbage as the adaptive cruise control. Heated seats arent worth dealing with this BS.

It seems like it's a must have for most people on the forum but I just don't get it. Talk me into it?
Heated seats cuz vinyl is cold Here. Also, I have all those features on my current vehicle so I’m used to it And it’s a pretty good discount on my insurance

Mid Package on BD because its the highest package you can get on BD, plus you can always go aftermarket for a stereo upgrade and IMO having a back up camera and dual zone climate control on a bronco is boujee enough for me. I don't want cloth, carpet or leather, and actually hate the look of a big tablet interface.
The high package 12 speaker stereo or whatever is cool but in a small 2 door definitely overkill.
My car for the last few years is very bare bones, no dual zone, no rear wiper, no heated mirrors, so even the mid package is almost a luxury car to me by comparison

I also don't want to over pay for some upgrade options that will eventually end up being standard in a few years.

Mid package is a no brainer for me as I would like to have and use most of these options, aside from most of the 360. Considering they’re mostly passive features, I don’t mind.

The 2-door Intelligent Access is a big one for me. I hate fishing around in my pocket for the key FOB just to unlock the doors, especially in the winter when you're wearing gloves.
I don’t know if Ford’s system works like our Subaru’s but you can lock the doors too when you get out just by tapping a spot on the handle. Very convenient.

It did work that way on the Mustang although I did use that feature less often. I guess I was more paranoid that I was locking the car before leaving it lol

I used to be 20/80 on getting it, because I assumed it would be a lot more expensive. Now that I see 1500, I'm like 80/20 on it now. (Depends what they offer/price a la carte vs the mid package).

For starters it won't be 1500 after the years of reduced insurance costs from the safety tech included. I'm not saying it'll pay for itself, but the policy discount will add up.

Most of the included features will be extremely useful for how I plan to use my bronco. Some of the others I could live without, but will probably learn to appreciate.

When you add it all up, it's a great value. I'll use it. Also, I plan on keeping my bronco forever, but just in case I need to resell, it will help hold total vehicle value.

To be honest the intelligent access actually sounds pretty great, I had no idea it worked like that

While I won’t spend up to get into a model that provides the opportunity to buy Mid, I do like the seat heaters as a back heater

I would argue that clicking your fob as you walk away is more convenient than closing the door all the way, having to locate a button on the door, pressing it, then walking away.

You actually have to touch the door handle. It just doesn't unlock when you get close.
Do you know of a way to open the door without touching the handle?
