A few observations after driving our Heritage Edition over 600 miles this weekend:

The hardtop and tires make this one much quieter than my 2021 soft top with Firestone M/T2’s
The ride is much smoother and bump absorption is much better.
The fuel economy was worse than the 2021 which I would attribute to the gearing, the wind resistance of the larger tires and taller/wider vehicle, and simply me trying to keep up (ahead) of Interstate traffic.

Since our 2021 was a Big Bend with the Mid Package I really didn’t gain any new creature comforts but it has everything I want.
We didn’t have the opportunity to test out the Sasquatch abilities on this trip. It was just a nice visit to my sister and her family.

I’m absolutely floored by the improvements in build quality from my ‘22 Basesquatch to the ‘23 HE.

Yea, quite a few Heritage on there at the moment…

Update on the 2dr Heritage Limited auction… top bid 68k, reserve not met so no sale.

Yes. Most on there are manual or 2.3 auto with few or no options.

I can't imagine it going for over retail in a secondary sale right now with Dealer stock going for MSRP on the FB groups out there.

Market has most definitely softened. Dealer I picked up Big Red from has a Badlands for almost $1700 off sticker.

Got my RR 2dr HE in Sept and had not seen another one in Denver until last week when I saw a RR HE 2dr. Then today saw this RR 4dr HE in a parking garage. Before we know it the 2024s will be here.

I think a reason we are seeing some HEs being abandoned and listed on FB and such is because many placed orders for ‘24’s thinking their ‘23’s wouldn’t be built. Then, the oval decided to build the HEs and other special Editions first in ‘24 so folks decided to wait for those instead of taking delivery.

I have yet to see another although I hear that a 4dr RR Heritage with a young lady driving is in the area. Finally seeing more and more Broncos locally. Not like when I was in Moab this summer and saw a ton of them.

Picked up Thursday evening, have ~ 500 miles on it since then (arrived at the dealer with ~ 125 miles). Zero complaints, issues, just happy....

Had the dealership (Jim Ellis Sandy Springs, GA) add the Bronco Performance Calibration (M-9603-B23 2021-2023 ), they threw in a tailgate table at no charge. Working through the rest of the "wish list" now. IAG mudflaps and Diode Dynamics Dual Fog Lights are a "must" in my mind.

That's my case, and the fact that my former dealer wouldn't do what he said he would and change the color on my 23. So I went to another dealer, ordered a 24 and got scheduled only 2 months from my 23.

Liking the bushings! How's the color match?

Got the two extra for the gunners hatch today and the color match is actually really good.
I'm not sure how much closer you could get considering the different materials.

Installed mud flaps on the front today. I had ordered the cheap Ford flaps knowing that it would take some modifications to make them work with the sasquatch flares, but the running boards also created interference and it seemed like too much work at that point, so I ran down to the local advanced auto and picked up a pair of $20 flaps and some black stainless screws. I think it turned out pretty good. I can't imagine spending $200 for the Rek Gens or $500 for the Gatorbacks.

I re-used one of the fender liner fasteners and put one of the stainless screws through the flap into the flare. Seems solid enough, and the step just adds a little more support. I might put a screw into the step end cap later if I find that the flap needs any more support.
