Also, definitely wish I ordered the rock rails. Without them, it just looks unfinished to me. I've gone ahead and already ordered the rock rails and hitch from Ford Accessories.

Ordered a 2 door base non-squatch. Part of me regrets not going for a big bend with the rear locker, but pricing it out raises my build from $32k to $39k.

I'm not a big off roader, so 33s and airing down should do me fine, but the lockers would be nice. Leather steering wheel and signature lights I can add later for ~$1.5k.

I have 22MY price protection, so unless I can get that baby blue color on a 23, I'll probably leave my build as is.
Yep, I had the same choice, but the coin flip sent me the other way. I got the Big Bend and figure I got $5000 worth of stuff I wanted for $7000, Ford did not make this easy

It's definitely a dilemma. If the Big Bend came with 33" tires and rims I like, I'd definitely go that route. As is, I'd have to change them out either way, so the $7k only gets me the leather steering wheel, sig lights, rear locker, and a different interior color. Oh and a sticker on the fender lol.

Katzkins + other mods will be less than half that, but no locker.

Yeah, the only way it works for me is if I can stomach the 32" Duelers for a while, more aggressive 33's keep calling. I do like the Big Bend wheels though.

Just picked up my 2 door Wildtrak on Saturday, 1 week less than 2 years when I first put the 100 deposit in. I ordered it with the tow package but it came in without it. I'll have to add it aftermarket. Anyone get one with it actually installed on delivery?
Wow, I would not be happy if I ordered tow and it came without it. I’m waiting to get what I want.

My salesman removed mine to get my Bronco sooner. I was happy about it. I’m fine wiring in my own at half the price and getting Bronco sooner.

Door bags. Being base it doesn't come with them and I think they were cheaper if you ordered them with the vehicle.

I put alot of thought into my build so I dont regret anything perse, My only regret is that they didn't allow me to get the 7 spd with the mid package. I thought long and hard about what was more important and I went with the 7 spd . The manual is so much fun to drive and although I wish I could of had my cake and eat it too, I definitely made the right choice.

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.

I’m bummed I dropped the factory tow. I know I can still get it installed, just wish I left it on my build.
I wish the same thing as I’ve started the long process of installing mine.

Me too. If I could do anything over, it would be to leave the tow package on my order. Having it done at the dealer is a little bit of a pain, sadly.

I was torn - but I’m glad I didn’t go SAS.

For the 2 door, bags are $350 if added to order or $239 from acc.
For the 4 door, Bags are $350 if added to order or $448 from acc 🤷‍♂️. Plus the 4 door kits comes with straps to store on board. So cheaper afterwards with 2 door and cheaper when ordered for a 4 door (NAB).

Adaptive cruise control (LUX). Ive got the High package and wish I had ponied up the extra money for LUX! I had never driven with this feature but just did a month long job in Florida and rented 2 SUV's that had the Advanced cruise control with braking, slowing down and stopping in stop and go traffic, starting up again when the other cars moved forward OMG!!!!! OMFG!!!!! How great! No leg/foot pain. So calming. Stop and go is no problem. This is the future!! I will trade mine in for LUX in the next year just for that feature.
