Base Model Bronco Thread

[Rockledge]

I picked up my 2022 Race Red Base Sasquatch the evening of Thanksgiving. I am very pleased with it.I traded in my 2022 Jeep Gladiator. So better, in so many ways. Smoother, Quieter, Handles better, Tracks easier, much more enjoyable to drive daily.
I had already ordered Mabett mudflaps, Ford running boards, Weather tech floor mats and cargo mat.
I installed these within 2 days of picking it up from the dealer. I ordered the white grille letters and the textured bug deflector . ( already installed. )
Lastly I had Ceramic tint - 20% - on all windows. I absolutely Enjoy getting in it everyday.

See above- So then last Thursday Ford sent the Email that My original April 2021 order at Chapman was scheduled to be built April 3rd,2023.
I asked my wife if she wanted it - She happily said she did - so I changed the color from Race Red to Cactus Grey .Same spec - Base Sasquatch, Mic, 2.7, 4 doors, Aux switches.

It looks like we will be a 2 Bronco Family !!!!

Stumbled into the deal of a lifetime yesterday. Went to my dealer to pick up an engine air filter and cabin air filter, sales manager said they had a set of take-off BD wheels/tires available. $400 for the complete set...

My 2023 base manual squatch finally arrived at the dealer. Didn’t really anticipate the monthly installments being so high (around 700ish) so I’m giving it a few days to mull over. Any input? Thanks.

If you can afford it, then I would close the deal and drive it for a month or two before deciding. These are still hot and basesquatch is a terrific value.

Sasquatch will be constrained for a while, so unless you're getting hit with a high ADM, I imagine you could sell it later and come out ahead. The dealer would love for you to walk, since it's a quick sell with potentially ADM tacked on.

If it wrecks your finances or puts you at significant financial risk, then you should walk away.

Great input. Really appreciate it man. It’s not gonna break the bank, but man is that high. Oh well. Time to reflect further.

I'd get into it if possible, with plans to refinance asap - put it on a calendar for reminders. Interest rates are garbage rn and it also gives you time to hopefully come up with some cash to add into the refinance.

On the other hand, it's unlikely you'd lose out much, maybe even make some if you resell soon. It also looks like you've been waiting for quite a long time, getting another ordered will hopefully not take as long but it's not gonna be fast. Could consider this an extended rental while you decide.

I would buy it for sure, you can always sell it for 5-10k over what you're buying it for!

I figure I should share this here: The '23 base model four door with the plastic bumper does not have the wiring harness for fog lights.

I figure it might help a few people from pulling their bumper off to look.

Your wheels look sharp painted.
I do get tempted, just a 2” lift 17” wheels (really like the look and price of the now available Everglades wheels) and 35” tires.
But…I spent so much on the KO2s when I bought mine it makes me sick to swap
Now.

I did just order the JTops Bimini shade.
probably let the rest ride for now.
