(Maybe the pickup market is higher volume and more competitive or maybe Ford just hasn’t gotten around to knocking lux features off the F-150 yet!)

definitely not but my f150 lariat and bronco badlands have the same sticker price. I’d expect a similar feature set.
It would be one thing if they made me pay extra, or upgrade to a higher spec package, for features that were included previously, but in this case there is no higher package, the features are just not available on a Bronco anymore. And the price went up!

Thanks for the write-up. I'm looking forward to my '26...hopefully by the end of March!

People, Ford is no better with their F150 trucks. If you want a simple sliding rear window on your F150 truck you have to pay $7000 to upgrade to a “Mid” package!!! How ridiculous is that!?!

Yeah, my late MY25 Heritage Edition didn't come with the home link button, either. 🥴

Don't really need adaptive cruise control, but power mirrors would have been nifty.
Huh? You don’t have power side mirrors on your ‘25 HE?

Not power folding, I mean power adjustable.

Nope. Fully manually adjustable only. They did away with the wireless phone charging pad, as well.

Bizarre. I have Homelink and power mirrors on my MY25 Badlands lux package. I always thought HE was more expensive/plush. No charging pad (which is not a minus for me).

If you really don’t have them, they must have done away with it mid-year, because my ‘25 HE built in March has them. No charging pad though or home button. Mid package, which is all you can get on a HE.

The controls aren’t where you would expect them, but removable doors come with compromises.

Exactly. If this is Ford's way of differentiating trim lines it's not too savvy. With a sticker of $58.6, you'd think power mirrors and a home link button would be doable. But, I've adapted and overcome.

Ahh, yes ... OK. I did not explain myself clearly enough. Yes, I have power mirrors, but I meant to say power FOLDING mirrors to tuck them in when going through tight spaces. My bad.
