I ordered a 2 door MT just for this reason. Both are probably headed for disco by MY28. Getting rid of both streamlines Ford's manufacturing even more.
That being said my local dealer just got in a low mile 4 door Badlands MT. Unfortunately they have it at unicorn pricing.
I ordered a '26 2 door manual Badlands on 6/20 and received an email on 7/16 which stated week of 8/31 production schedule with estimated October delivery. Not sure if the 4 door is going to be any quicker.
The 2.3 version (SKU: M9603B23A) description says 2025-2026 Bronco, even though it says the item will not fit at the top, so time to jump on this deal!
Same with the week of August 31st. Funny enough mine says stabilizer bar disconnect, but I did not add that option on my build. I wonder if they switched it back to a standard feature or just a typo?
It's a 4 door with the 2.7/auto. Those of us who ordered a 2 door 2.3/MT are going to have a much longer wait based on how Ford produces them in batches. I ordered mine on 6/20, and it will probably be a Q4 delivery.
I decided not to purchase this Bronco. If anyone is looking for this particular vehicle (seems to be a few out there), it's at Brandon Ford in the Tampa, FL area.
Below is a link to the window sticker:
2024 Badlands, Non-SAS, 2 door 7spd, High/Lux, Eruption Green
..and it rolled into the dealership yesterday. X-plan (friends/family) pricing is being honored.
MSRP - $57,210 ($49,595 base + $5,720 options + $1,895 D&D)
X-Plan - $55,248

Going to check it out to see if it's worth closing the deal.
