Congratulations!
I dont think there's controversy, its just a love it or hate it color scheme. As long as you love it and, more importantly, your kids think it's cool, that's all that matters!
And good on you for abandoning a dealer that clearly didn't appreciate your business. Glad you were...
Maybe you got a bad unit out of the box. Not unheard of, but rare.
Considering its the second one to go out in a short period of time, though, it's a safe bet that you have something else going on. Spacers(?), offset, lift geometry, alignment...there's a root cause in there somewhere and...
The short answer is no.
No existing chart or quick comparison list.
As others have noted, the availability of 2-doors has diminished over time. For several years you could have any trim (except Everglades), with either engine, in a 2 or 4 door configuration.
Then OB became 4-door only in 24...
1. Don't pay cash.
If they know they won't be making anything on the backend they're not giving up anything on the front end.
2. Arrange your own financing before going to dealer. Banks that you already have an account with is a good place to start. Credit unions will often have the best rates...
Personally, if I didnt know the seller directly I would not believe anything that is claimed on FB marketplace. Be very suspicious if it seems too good to be true. 'A deal of a lifetime!'
If you've been looking for hardtops you should have a good idea of what they are actually selling for. How...
What is your end goal?
What do you mean by 'build'?
All Broncos are very capable off road, but your needs will vary depending on what type of trails/obstacles you aim for. Balance that with how much work you want to do vs. already having some of the most desirable upgrades.
Badlands is the...
Whether its your home, your vehicle, or yourself...when it comes to theft its never about prevention, its all about deterrence. Thieves are opportunistic and lazy. They will pass on the more difficult targets because an easier one is always right around the corner.
In regards to wheel locks, a...
To me it looks like a standard mic top that was painted without sanding it smooth (because that would be a major pita and dramatically increase labor hours for the job). The mic tops are textured, and I think that's what is giving it the orange peel effect. If it's not heavily chipped or flaking...
If the wiring is present, and you're interested in adding a hitch check this thread, particularly post #4 by @RagnarKon - https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/trailer-wiring-harness-for-%E2%80%9825-with-the-diamond-package.122531/
When I first started seriously looking to purchase (2024), 2-door & V6 were at the top of my Must Have list. By the time I got around to actually buying (2025) I had to choose which of those was truly mandatory.
I drove many variations of each, including leftover MY24's that had both. For me...
A quick Google search says there are at least half a dozen Ford dealers within a reasonable drive from Livermore. Any dealer can do it for you. Just bring proof of ownership (your id and registration).
That is the only way if you dont already have 2 working fobs.
For me it would be a no brainer to pay less for a 1 MY newer vehicle that is presumably exactly what you want since it's a custom order.
A Desert Sand BL is quite different than a blacked out BB. I sense that you're getting impatient and settling. Or did you really want a BL but cut your build...
If you replace the current steps w/ factory rock sliders (check Marketplace on this site for takeoffs), but your wife still wants steps, there are multiple companies that make steps that attach to (slide onto) the rails, and can easily be removed when going off road. I have IAG brand on mine...
From the additional photos -
Grille is either painted/wrapped or replaced with one from a Heritage trim.
I believe trail sights are/were black on all trims, so yours are painted or wrapped.
Dash looks normal to me. That accessory-ready threaded insert is standard.
Grab handles in the...
White door handles?
Im going to assume those are from an OB trim.
Painted fender flares are also an OB trim feature.
The flag on the window and white side graphics below it are add-ons.
Mud flaps appear to be aftermarket but no noticeable logo or name.
Hard to tell for sure, but the steps...
Pure speculation on my part, but reading between the lines...
Initially, it was clearly being sold by Ford without trim restrictions. The 2 reviews indicate BL owners ordered/received them only to discover it wouldn't fit. Ford & CV then got together, figured out where the issue was, and...
I won't pile on with more reasons why it isn't worth that price, but I will add that used vehicle asking prices are just that...the initial asking price.
Unlike new car prices that leave little room for negotiation, no one expects a used car to sell for the asking price.
If it's something you...
