For those of you who have actually received your Bronco…what do you wish you would have ordered but didn’t?

I’ve got a fairly loaded-up Badlands on order, but given that I’ve waited this long (8 months) was wondering if I should add anything else to my order (for example, towing package) rather than do it aftermarket.

Thanks in advance.

You can see my build specs in my sig. I would have kicked myself if I dropped any one of those things! My wait was "only" a year and a half, but I would have continued to wait and would not have compromised.

My 2 Door Basesquatch was a very long wait- 20 months- but I am glad I waited and got exactly what I wanted, including the color too.

I did tow after market- so easy- bought the hitch for like 120, installed it 15 minutes. I have yet to do the 4 pin wiring- don't need it yet, but will be so easy too. Only needed the hitch for a bike rack carrier.

I too wish I would've gone with the modular bumper for the ease of a winch installation vs buying a new bumper/setup etc. Come to find out adding a winch and aftermarket bumper is not exactly a walk in the park with a 2.7 and the limited available free space.

Only reason I didn't originally is because I was trying to be smart and think ahead by avoiding rust - my 2013 F150 body color painted steel bumper was rusting after 6 years.

Yep I agree. I've waited 2 years now & it's almost at the dealer. I believe in getting what you want within budget of course, otherwise you will also wish you had. ;)

I’m bummed I dropped the factory tow. I know I can still get it installed, just wish I left it on my build.

The aux switches and bumpers are like gold. if you are not going the squatch route at least add the rear locking diff for a negligible added fee. I am going the hard top route this go around

My real life BL vehicle has everything. My imaginary vehicle would have been ordered with the optional V8.

I wish I had got the tow package, but Ford wouldn't let me.

The aftermarket options, including the Ford OEM option, are all trash. It's ridiculous that I can't order and install the 7 pin harness from Ford. I thought for sure I'd be able to.

If you ever plan on towing, order with the tow package.

I wish it was an option for my 2021 Base Sasquatch, but Ford wouldn't let me order the tow package. The other four options that I added to it have all been worth it.

AUX switches. And I probably would have changed color too.
No biggies. I'm going to be over the moon when it gets here regardless.
