Thanks everyone. I’m now leaning towards velocity blue with a black painted top. My vehicles tend to be a bit dirty more than they are freshly washed, and I imagine the blue looks better in that state. The blue would also help me find my ride in the parking lot of a Brewers game and in other...

I recently made an offer on a Velocity Blue 2025 Badlands a dealer had on the lot and got shot down. Of course it didn’t have everything I would want if ordering one. And looking at prices and the availability of Broncos that check most boxes for me, I might go ahead and order a 2026. 1) I’m...

Looks good. The painted top is light years ahead of the molded gray thing in my eyes.

I’ve never seen a 10 year old boat with seats that weren’t cracked or had the vinyl flaking off in places. Considering how much more use an automobile gets vs a boat, I’m curious to see how well Ford’s marine grade vinyl wears over time.

I wouldn’t say it’s a crazy good deal. Back in July I found multiple deals up to $15,000 off 2024 Broncos such as loaded Badlands or Wildtraks. $10,000-$11,000 off was somewhat common in that $60,000 MSRP range. It was also common to see dealers still holding out hope that an uneducated buyer...

In the US, Badlands have rear lockers. Heritage broncos have rear lockers. Black Diamonds and Black Diamond packages have rear lockers. Sasquatch packages have rear lockers. Wildtraks have rear lockers. Base, Big Bend, and Outer Banks trims don’t automatically come with rear lockers like the...

If I test drove a vehicle that cost $20,000 to $30,000 more than another vehicle I test drove and thought about buying, and the more expensive vehicle didn’t seem to be worth the price jump, I wouldn’t be bummed out. Haha. I’d be thrilled I was saving $20,000 to $30,000!

I think it looks alright. Love the wheels. Seats look nice. It definitely proves that fake news still runs rampant on the internet with all of those videos and articles claiming the 2026 Bronco features a bold new look. The general shape looks essentially the same as it has since 2021.

In the last 20 years Ford has sold over 14 million trucks in the United States. https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/ford/f-series#google_vignette I bet the vast majority of F series truck owners strongly disagree with your statement. Every F series truck owner I know, too many to count, will...

Great pics and great thread. I appreciate your thoughts of the changes you’ve made, why you made the changes and how they’ve worked out. Outstanding content.

An in state dealer has been trying since March to sell a 2 door Black Diamond with less than 12,000 miles for nearly $6000 below what KBB says it’s “worth”. Dealer’s price is below $34,000. Some dealers are advertising discounts in the $10,000-$15,000 off range for new 2024 models they can’t...

My experience was the exact opposite. Dealer was in the wrong and didn’t do anything even after showing them documentation proving my case. Ford asked me about my experience with the dealer (in one of those general review queries), and then must have proactively kicked the dealer in the butt...

That’s a sharp looking Bronco! This tire cover would look great on it as well.

I would think the target market has to be people who value that small, compact size over the price, not caring about the capability restraints the dinky size brings along with it. It’s certainly not for me. I live in a rural area with gravel roads (that wash out) and fairly steep hills that get...

I think she’s much better off looking for existing stock than ordering one. Last I looked there were a lot of white Outer Banks Broncos sitting on dealer lots. Wait for Ford to announce the 2026 Broncos, then offer $10,000-$15,000 below MSRP on a 2025 Bronco she likes. The worst that can happen...

1) I bet Ford calls it an “orange” because some marketing psychologist said the word yellow can have a negative connotation attached to it. Similar to why sports teams and schools claim their colors are black and gold or blue and gold instead of black and yellow or blue and yellow. 2) When I...

Ford makes money selling vehicles, yes. But they sell as many vehicles as they do, not because their cars and trucks break down right after their warranties expire, requiring the owners to buy new ones, but because numerous Ford owners have their vehicles fly past 100,000 miles with zero issues...

That’s about as good as I’ve seen for 2024 Bronco discounts. I have seen a handful (Wildtrak and loaded Outer Banks) at $15,000 or so off, but I’ve only seen the Raptor discounted more. At $17,000 off you’re saving a lot of coin for what, sacrificing rear seat vents? Seems like a good deal to me.

1) I would welcome a slightly more aggressive, sporty, off-road racing type of look with a more aerodynamic appearance, especially the windshield. 2) Add a manual transmission 2.7L V6 engine option. 3) Improve towing capacity north of 4000 pounds, at least in one trim package. 4) Offer the...
