It seems practicality and luxury overrules fun/style when it comes to selling vehicles over 50K. Wealthy customers are neutering the brand.

Just last month on my New Hampshire trip I got a random compliment from a stranger about my stock 2024 Azure Gray 2 Door non-sas Black Diamond. "by the way, I love your Bronco!" It was clear from the look on his face that the guy would own one if he could. The 2 doors are definitely something special.

While the changes are minimal, there are some improvements to how you can configure your bronco.

When building a badlands I noticed that the 2.3 liter 4-door can be configured with an automatic again. Also, black appearance package does not lock you into a black hard top. You can keep it a soft top or choose a body colored roof. Should have always been that was for an appearance package

I just built mine - SAS, roof racks the only options and holy hell - $58k that's $8k more than my MSRP and $12k more than I bought mine for in March 2023.
Heck the Base model MSRP is about 8k more expensive than the MSRP for my 2023 base 2 door. A 25% increase in 3 model years!!!

I assume you are talking about the wheels but yes, that is a new option.
Yes...I see they're the same Everglades rim, but in black. Look great! Glad they didn't fuck that up.

Oof.

2-door options dwindle further, no more Eruption Green. :(
EG was my second favorite color compared to Azure. Now both are taken away 😭

What ford needs to do is create a poll for all bronco enthusiasts to do and have options for one specific special edition trim including 2 dr, v8, (manual option available). If they do that I can guarantee the majority of people here will check all those boxes and probably are more willing to trade in their current bronco for it. Resulting in more profit for ford.

Not that Ford will read any of these comments, but let's pile on.

Since I cannot replace my 22 2dr EG V6 cloth seat Bronco with anything offered, current or future, I will not be trading up. Don't we call that lost sales? 🤔
I'll bite.

I'll probably just keep buying 2-door Jeeps. At least they haven't went completely away from ala carte optioning.

My dream Eruption Green Bronco 2-door with cloth seats and painted (or soft) roof will never be. But Jeep will build me a ragtop JL with 35s in Mojito.

Lost sale again, Ford. You blew it in late '22/early '23 with me by messing with trim and options, and you've done it again.

It's a true body-on-frame full-capability truck, not a crossover SUV or pricey Range Rover. Emphasis was directed away from power-folding side mirrors and cooled seats to the core elements a Bronco should have.

As has been said, Ford did it right, rather than slapping the venerated Bronco nameplate on some characterless, blob-shaped crossover with power side mirrors and cooled seats.
Except they DID do the Bronco name plate on a blob-shaped crossover...lol

You can order a 2 door Jeep with 35's? Didn't know that was a thing 🤷

My Mojito Jeep is currently being built with an estimated ship date of November 12th.

Still no 2dr soft top with Sas, V6 and a manual transmission. That’s what it would take to get me out of my Hot Pepper 23 Big Bend.

The Sahara and 392 are the only Wranglers that don't have a 2-door option. The Willy's and Rubicon have the 35 inch tire package option for both 2 and 4 doors.
