With the news that Ford is cutting 2024 F150 Lightning production in half due to huge loss of interest in EVs, Ford getting rid of the Base Bronco trim and raising the base cost of a Bronco from $28.5k in 2021 to $39k now, and not being able to get a decently optioned Ranger for around $40k, I...

Can we please worry about the USA first, since Ford is an American company after all? Before Mexico, Canada, and some Sheikh from UAE got theirs, every American order should have been fulfilled first.

I saw two in the same day in Alma, CO. Mosquito pass is the highest elevation unpaved mountain pass (in the USA) point-to-point road that goes between Leadville and Alma. A circuit Pastor, Father Dyer, of the United Methodist Church used to take the pass by foot in the 1800s to deliver mail...

I love Justin McBride and his content even though I don't agree with a lot of his opinions. He tried saying that the Bronco Sport Badlands wasn't a proper overland/off-road vehicle and I had to prove him wrong when I took my new Bronco Sport Badlands (admittedly with a huge tire upgrade in...

I guess it's time Ford built a dedicated Bronco assembly plant then if that is their reasoning behind keeping crap boring. Ford needs to realize they are competing with Jeep on more than just capability. Jeep colors blow Ford's colors to hell and back, and I'm not even a Jeep guy.

My thing is that is what people ordered. So, call it a MY22 or MY23, I don't care about the model year. What I care about is Ford fulfilling orders as they were ordered until all original MY21 orders have been built. Only orders made after the MY21 deadline would have to change their color...

Ford should be required to fill all orders with discontinued colors before moving on to MY22. Personally I think any Broncos that were converted to orders before the deadline should all be MY21, even if that means that the next Model Year would be 2023.

Ford says they listened to customers......... The last I remember, we didn't just want "a" green, but satin or matte finish Olive Drab Green. What about satin or matte finish Desert Tan as well? If you say this is a dedicated off-roader, how about an industry first "bedliner clear coat? What...

I know right, the only difference is my wife wants to go with me (she's crazier than I am, I'm just the better driver). My inspiration for doing BBP is seeing lifted Renegades and Cherokees do it. If their Mopar product can do it, I have no doubts in my BS Badlands.

I absolutely love my BS Badlands. She has gone anywhere I've asked her to go for me. That's saying quite a bit because I was coming from a lifted F150 to the Sport. Very shortly, like I said, I will be doing the 4WP 1 inch lift for the BL and putting the 31 inch tires on it which should give me...

It's nice, but it would still look way better as a 2-Door. Seeing them both in person has solidified my opinion that the 4-door, while more practical for families, just doesn't look like a "Bronco". I'm still not knocking anyone who buys one.

It's been so-so. There are some options with very limited availability. I had to search across 4 states to find a Badlands trim that wasn't marked up $3-5K. I got mine for 500 below MSRP. It was one of only two Badlands on a lot in the state of Missouri at the time, according to CarGurus.

Lol now I kind of feel good that I had to cancel my reservation before I made it an order in January, due to unforeseen circumstances. On the flip-side guys, I have a Bronco Sport Badlands now that I've already been taking off-road, and will be lifting and putting bigger tires on soon to have...

There are quite a few people who would disagree with you on that. Many sites, including Overland Expo seem to think that the Bronco Sport Badlands, in it's lifted application with some 31s (like the setup from 4WP) would be more than sufficient for the vast majority of overlanding trips. The...

I don't use online buyers at all and I find that they lowball people bad. When I was trading my truck, I pulled the NADA and not accounting for all the aftermarket work I had done to it, it appraised at $16.2k. Vroom offered me $5.5k. Needless to say Vroom didn't get my truck, but a Ford lot did...
