Goodbye Wildtrak. Welcome Stroppe 2-Door

[timhood]

Stroppe Bronco's came with red (orangish red or whatever you call it) tailgates.

Doh! Why did I remember it as blue? Well, Ford has the red, too.

With initial reservation, we traded our Hot Pepper Red 2023 Wildtrax for a 2025 Stroppe. Had two great years with no issues, plenty of smiles during the 14000 miles, and yes, it was a mall crawler, daily driver with very limited off-road time only of back country roads and fields. The Stroppe arrived and no further reservation, just pure joy!! Noteworthy is the creature comforts - heated wheel, quieter turn signals, greater complimentary interior accents, quieter and smoother ride; B&O sound with sub, speakers and lights in the roll bar. Painted roof, steel front and real bumpers, raptor-style running boards with rock rails, tricolor paint that is super retro and yes, a tribute to Bill Stroppe. We will most likely never experience its full capabilities, but the standard "smiles with every mile" will ring true once again.

Congrats on the Stroppe.

Though I don't see the point if your Wildtrak (nice color by the way) had the HOSS 3.0 suspension

Same body
Same engine
Same suspension
Only adds the swaybar disconnect ($1300 to add to Wildtrak) and the changed dash display.

As a long time Early Bronco owner I have gotten used to the color scheme and appreciate the history behind it but can't get past the $30K upcharge over what I paid for my used 23 Wildtrak.

The 2dr Stroppe is looking to become a collectors item at this point though due to Ford's dumb production decisions.

Somewhat correct.
The Stroppe has the body panels from the Heritage Edition with the squared off openings.
It also has the modular hardtop.
Them there is it's interior differences.
Then there's is the actual paint job.
Not saying that it is or isn't worth the price, just that there's are a few differences.
Hell, I liked it enough to make my own... Well over a year before Ford did it.

Congrats @DBX2 !!!

I like the Stroppe tributes.
Not everyone is a fan, I get it.

Now, with your brief write up in post #1, it has my wheels turning ... maybe trade off my 2021 Base for an upgrade....

I like it. Wish we could have done with the 2 door because it was all that was available When i bought my Raptor.
And now i cannot get rid of my Raptor for a 4 door.
But my wife might need a new car now.

The 2 doors may be a good investment if you can steal one and leave it pretty low mileage.

Despite being just plain rude, it’s laughable that an adult would take the time to post derogatory comments online where the OP is simply sharing their joy.

Stroppe boldly.

Throwing it out on a public discussion forum is going to elicit "discussion".

 

[Steve_In_29]

I love how the Stroppe is configured. If I didn't get such a deal on my Badlands, I would have considered it more seriously. That, and I'm not sure I want everyone to know who I am--it's pretty one-of-a-kind on the road! I do like the paint combo, even if it isn't everyone's style. Maybe now that you have an off-road beast, you'll be tempted to venture a little further off-road. There are plenty of things you can do without worrying about damaging it.

There's really not anything the Stroppe will do that the HOSS 3.0 Wildtrak couldn't

Except be a Stroppe.

Don't you dare get rid of that glorious AMB. If you are entertaining an upgrade, I know a nurse that gives 110% and she's looking to get back into a Bronco.

I'm hanging on to my 2022 Basesquatch 2 door with 2.7. It only has 17K on it and is pretty much a garage queen. I ordered it at the reveal and pretty much stole it compared to todays' prices. It's so fun to drive too- especially with the dual CAT back MBRP exhaust. I'm so tempted for a Mustang GT with manual transmission but love the Bronco too much to part with it.

Does anyone other than Boomers buy Stroppes?

 

[mdainsd]

Yeah. All the cool people do.

Seems like a lot of Bronco owners are boomers so I fail to see the relevance of this question.

Quite a paradox.
