Nope.
I originally ordered a BaseManSquatch, but decided to change when converting to '23. For similar money my Black Diamond, manual with 4A fits my needs much better. I'm loving the 20 mpg, and was able to add tow from the factory.

A little jealous of the 2 drs. they do look better . Need over design puts me in a 4dr.

Icon coil overs waiting on the weather but I put these 36.5 Coopers on and no serious rubbing at the mall

One regret I have is not going 4A. Didn't realize how useful it would have been with the snow drifts on road.

A 2-door would be a great 3rd or 4th vehicle, I regret my income isn't there yet. Looks great.

Yeah that was the one thing I went back and forth over. Figured I can't go back later. Of all things I feel like that may be the hardest to retrofit. Only other thing I would have liked is a front locker. But it could be sorted if I want to. And the reality is I don't really "need" it.

Nice. This should have been a "anybody regret not getting a 4 door" thread!
Ha! With the group that’s been responding I’d see a resounding “no” to that question!

You get a pass on the 4 door because of the color…

I got an Outer Banks, because it was the trim level that offered the Lux package. When you're in your 50's like me - and you have Reynaud's syndrome (where your fingers literally turn white as a ghost in cold weather) a heated steering wheel is a must-have. Adaptive cruise control is really nice as well, though not a must-have. I don't know why Ford can't offer a cold weather package with just heated seats and heated steering wheel. It just seems strange that the only way to get a heated steering wheel, is to opt for the very top end package.

4Dr Bronco BaseSquatch 2.7L

Dollar for dollar, you cannot beat the BaseSqautch for value, capability & aggressive stance. Our BaseSquatch with the 2.7L engine, MIC top and Aux switches has everything we want. Maybe I'm the only one here who likes cloth seats? Living in Miami Beach, heated steering and seats are useless and even when I lived in Boston, I never cared about them.

My wife has another 4Dr BaseSquatch 2.7L MIC coming in April at the unbelievable price after Granger discount and price protection.... about $40,700.

I was originally convinced I wanted a base squatch but knew I wanted a manual so had to wait for the 22. While waiting and playing on B&P discovered that a non sas BD with adv 4x4 was almost the same price. The easy clean interior, bash plates, steel bumpers and rock sliders seemed like a better way to spend the money. Plus I really like the black steelies and have been really impressed with how the grabbers preform. Have wished for a front locker a couple of times but overall happy with my decision. I do agree with others that ford should have made the heated seats and steering wheel a stand alone climate package though. Couldn’t get mid with the manual BD and that vinyl gets chilly on a winter morning.
