Forcing a $3K Lux package upgrade on Badlands to get a 360 camera now is really shady. I don't want the B&O sound! Man this sucks. Wrangler is strongly in consideration now, and I was ready to order. :(
The only thing keeping me from a Wrangler right now is the potential of a Bronco being more reliable than Jeep. We'll see how I feel when the MY24 pricing is finally released.
They're gonna be a lot harder to find in the future though. Consider widening your net, a lot of dealers ship now too. Also Carvana, Vroom, CarMax, etc.
I like how you forgot you were getting a Bronco until it was delivered. Surprise! Here's a $40K bill, lol. Literally the opposite of everyone on this forum posting daily updates about their build on the assembly line 😆
The difference is that with Jeep you can add-on to any model. Want a Sport S with a heated steering wheel? No problem! Want the Alpine audio too? Sure! Blind spot monitoring? Go for it! Off-road camera (I know isn't exactly the same as the 360 camera)? Here you go! Now there's a 12.3" screen...
And just when I thought we had a consensus @mObridge says the opposite!

I actually like Kia/Hyundai, but they are really suffering from the stolen car/immobilizer fiasco. I think that wiped out a decade of reputation building as no one around here will ever buy them again. Every day people post on Nextdoor about their car being stolen.
I feel personally attacked! 😆 I spent pretty much my entire years 15-25 installing head units, amps, and subwoofers in my cars and my friends. Once I started buying vehicles with infotainment systems, it was just not worth the hassle so I always just bought the trim with the best audio and hoped...
Alright, hopefully the High package is still available for Badlands, I really don't wanna deal with the B&O (unless they improved something). Guess we'll find out tomorrow!
Is it heresy to say I'm actually considering a manual Rubicon partially because of the Alpine audio?
Got it. I guess I was hoping it was possible that just upgrading the speakers and/or the sub+sub amp in the B&O plus maybe an amp in the front (without touching the 4 in the rear) was a viable option.
Just curious when taking into consideration building a new Bronco. Seems like neither configuration is gonna do it for me, so it seems smart to consider which one will be easier to upgrade. The 7-speaker already has an amp and sub that can be replaced, but the B&O has more speakers available for...
