$15K over for a $34K base 4 cylinder. Yikes! Thats about what I just paid for a new 2-door OBX 2.7 in Race Red. Our local dealer sold a base 4-door with lift kit and big wheels/tires for $68K! Fools everywhere.
I had placed two orders, very early on, for a 2 door HE. Both dealers said at that time that I would "jump over" people who had orders in for non-HE Broncos, because builds for non-HE Broncos were over a year behind. I knew that was a crock of sh!!!t. New 2.7 two door Broncos are extremely hard...
My order was for a two door Azure Gray HE. I gave up and bought a 2023 Race Red OB which is currently undergoing Heritage mods. I must admit, I'm glad because the two door Race Red stands out.
I am going to change to Analog HD white wheels for that Heritage look. I was hoping to put 285/70/17's on them. They appear to be the same height as my 18" wheels/tires.
Hopefully Ford will not offer any "Political" editions like Jeep did a couple of years ago. Jeep made the "Elizabeth Warren Edition". It was an all-white Cherokee! Sold out in the blue states.
Looking ahead to when I replace my OB grill with my "Heritage Look" grill, are the metal grill clips re-usable or do I need to order new metal clips? And, if I need to order new clips is there a part number somewhere? I've come up empty trying to find 2021-23 grill clips. I can only find clips...
Thanks!! Race Red was not my first choice. It was offered to me. I saw it and thought "Wow". You don't see that many around and it will look great "Heritaged".
Ford needed to throw in Velocity Blue, Eruption Green, Cyber Orange, Yellow and Robin Egg's Blue to their HE 2 door color choices. The only retro looking 2-door HE colors that are currently offered are Race Red and Cactus Gray, in my opinion.
Many dealers have a big advantage over buyers who have been waiting and waiting to buy a Bronco. If a new Bronco is on the lot, it will probably have an upcharge of at least $5K. Most used Broncos are selling for more than new ones. Regardless of the decision to spend $30K over sticker, it's...
