Oates was just an early heritage edition in disguise. They made all the white bits black on it to throw people off. It does look pretty sweet thoughWe still haven’t seen Oates. @islander98 - were they running a two door, or a four door length Bronco with only two doors?
. . . and takes back the Modular bumper from being standard, again, after having just only put it back on . . . possibly with a new and even more disappointing "updated" version of the "Capable" bumper that has just enough changes to make it incompatible with the few add-on's for it that have come to market . . .
Perhaps it's all semantics, however when the Everglades was introduced it had the highest Base price and was at the far right of the trim line-up (which Ford seems to reserve for the highest trim) (now reserved for the Braptor and LE). And the Wildtrak was and is now just a pimped out Base.
When the everglades first came out I was no that interested in it as a tri level option, but now with the complex 9 trim levels and what is allowed an options and not allowed as options on each trim, the Everglades is looking better and better.
One should not discount the idea that the WIldtrack goes away. 2025 is about the timeline where Ford examines the number of trim variations and cuts some. The Badlands with Wildtrack shocks means that Ford could make the disconnecting anti-sway bar an option and not need a Wildtrack model at all.
What annoys me is if you get the upgraded seats with leather in the BL so you have power seats then you get carpet.Might like me some WT if they ever get rid of the crappy interior color and come standard with MGV/wash out floor. BL is superior in every way, period.
The Boss Hoss system???
I still haven't figured out how Ford can't see people want more a-la-carte in their broncos. I don't do enough dirty stuff to worry about carpet getting nasty but I see the MGV as more suited to my use than carpet. At this point there should be 3 seating choices, 2 flooring and 3 dash color options on all non-version broncos. I absolutely hate the WT sand stone and blue highlight interior so it makes me wonder how many people have taken a specific model because it had most of the options they wanted but had to take one or two they really didn't like.
That was probably one of the biggest challenges in selecting a Bronco for me... No matter which way I went, I was forced into a compromise that I didn't want... I finally went OBX adv 4x4 as it was the least bad compromise for me personally.
I took a good look at WT, but bailed immediately when I saw the interior colours. I wanted leather & black. The BL has a grey dash which I don't love, but I prefer that over the brown / tan on the WT. I really do wish Ford had better interior colour options
Glad that didn't happen to the Bronco ... uh ...You sure about that? The 911 has really been hitting the buffet pretty hard for the last 20 years.
