Yeah I know with orders you can do MUCH better, but not at a point I can wait a random amount of time for it to arrive. This one was sitting on the lot.
So I was in between a Badlands, and a Wildtrak. Then I found this Badlands, in the exact color with almost every option the Wildtrak comes withā¦ I know it doesnāt have sport mode, but 12ā screen, 360 camera, Sasquatch, TT V6, etc..
How did I do? I paid MSRP, and they are installing the tow hitch and running the wires for me for the 4/7 pin. I went to about 10 dealerships before I found this one. Just curious on everyoneās thought. Looking forward to being here!
First congrats on the new Bronco! Mine has resolved my midlife crissis.
I am not saying I did better or worse than you. I ordered exactly what I wanted.
Here is comp with my Wildtrack, so here we go.
So to compare, I paid MSRP For a 2023 4D Wildtrack Two weeks ago. Here is the difference off the top of my head:
- My dealer does not mark up orders. Ordered March 27th 2023
-Paid $68,685.00 so that is a difference of $6,525
-It's a four door hard top with sound reduction.
-Azure paint $995.00
-LUX package $3,945.00 Added safety features for lower insurance, (keeps on paying back) B&O (big whoop but nice after speaker swap)
-Wildtrack stickers! $520.00
- Keyless entry $110.00
-Roof Rails $365.00
-Tube steps $395.00
Great example of a stellar deal, the closest thing to it now (BD) ordered today, would be priced $16K above the MY22 MSRP of the Base Sas. If you would've paid $3K ADM, you still would be ahead of the guys who paid MSRP on any other trim with sas.I got lucky and found a base Sas 2 door V6 mod bumper aux switch brush guard hoop steps for sticker back in Feb. I think it was someone else's order that backed out before it arrived at the dealer. I think the week after I put the deposit on it, the 23's had the first mid year price increase. Then there was another price increase when the order banks opened back up so I really got lucky finding it when I did. I still see most of the 2 door Sas Broncos marked up in my area. Enjoy the Bronco, mine is the same color.
You are asking to get some hurt feelings.
The Badlands already has skid plates. It doesn't look like the link above includes only the parts not covered by the OEM skid plates. Also, 3mm seems thinner than what some other companies are doing.
If you don't already have the requisite off-road gear, I'd work on that first: Compressor, deflators, recovery strap/kinetic rope, folding shovel, impact driver and socket, loppers, etc. As I use a portable compressor, I have come to appreciate even more my upgrade to the hood shocks over the prop rod. And I reduced the whip antenna down to a small rubber one.My feelings arenāt hurt at all, Iām glad you got a great deal. You probably also had to wait a decent amount of time, which I did not.You are asking to get some hurt feelings.
My MSRP was $51,270
I paid $40,476
But you did fine. Mine was nearly the perfect storm. If I was getting a Badlands, I would never have opted for Leather or Sasquatch, but that's personal preference.
$5k for the Sasquatch package on the Badlands is a ripoff.

I suspect a big part of this number is the price protection, which most of the rest of us (at least me, personally) didn't factor into our price in our statements.
You spent double what I did, but if you are for real using the additional functionalities, then getting it at MSRP you did ok.
OP, I think it's a little unclear what kind of feedback you are looking for to begin with.. you bought a new car at MSRP and you have the window sticker that breaks down how every aspect of your spec was priced.
