Bronco model misconceptions

[rtsherry73]

There seems to be a misconception about what the different Bronco models really are. Let me help.

To Ford, this is the model range:

• BASE
• OBX
• BADLANDS
• WILDTRAK

We can hem and haw about why certain combos and features are not offered on certain models, but the list above is your answer. The only way to bust out of this lineup (mechanically) is to get the Sasquatch package. Otherwise, accept your fate and make the best of it.

profit profit profit profit profit profit profit.....

Glad I ordered the base Sasquatch and it comes with the best looking emblem.

I get it.
Every time I tried to build a BB or BD I ended up higher than a Badlands, so I tried to cut corners and ended up only shaving a few grand off... end up right at that point where you think, ...."for $2 or 3 grand more I'm an a Badlands."
Then , if I decided on whatever day, that I was going to accept the auto, you end up at Wildtrak, because if you're being forced into the auto, might as well spring for the 6 also...it's only $1500.......

Finally got fed up with the bullshit and just ordered a $32k Base ...LOL.
Once I set my sights on Base, I was happy and excited. All the worries of budget vs value went away.
In the end , it's all I really need, can fit up to 34" tires (maybe - most likely) and will be everything I thought a new Bronco (or my resto-modded 69) should be.....and my payment is like $200 (or more) a month cheaper.

My res is EARLY, I'm in the top spot at the dealer ....I'm freaking PUMPED and can't wait to get an email with the good news!

OBX IS JUST A VW THING PLUS LEATHER AND DREAMS

OBX for hairdressers. Will be the first to rear-end a pickup truck because the driver is texting.

When you're on the trail, and you hear that scraping sound along the side of your Bronco, you'll be glad you bought a base. Get white- easiest to repaint!

Some days I look at my non Sas BB as a poor man's Wildtrak: Same upholstery, bumpers and fog lights.

Some days I look at it as a poor man's BD: Rear locker and 32 inch tires.

Some days I look at it as a rich man's Base: Nice wheels, tint, leather wrap wheel/shift knob

Talk to Ford‘s rockstars then. Just using their terminology.

Interesting. I don’t know why I never noticed (probably because I didn’t build and price in the US), but the upgrade from Base to Big Bend in Canada is only $1500.00 Canadian pesos, which is like $1200 US. The jump down south is a whoppin’ $4,885 US.

No wonder BB is projected to retain the most value over time %-wise (according to that other thread whose title I don’t quite recollect).

....I suspect the BB specs a little different in Canada than down there..... I know for one block heaters are NOT optional in Canada... lol; but I think your BBs have some items standard ours don’t?

I heard Canadian dealer allocations based on local NHL hockey team results?

LOL, went AMB, though Oxford White lured me for a bit!

I feel like I'm outta my mind because I look forward to trail rubs and scrapes on this one...which is usually not "me"..... at all.
Apparently, The Bronco-Spirit Horse has possessed me!!!

I might be late to the party here but did anyone notice the "Compare Models" link changed to a web page instead of a PDF?

This is pointless bullshit. Think of something else in theory we need to f-ing ponder.

I think the point he was making is that they’re unnecessary. You could have had less trims and offered the same customization.

I could see that, but what would all those marketing guys be getting paid for? And the Bronco would be just like Jeep with only a few models...

Sorry but WT is the biggest non model ever. It literally has no purpose except to grab people that think they are getting the best model. It does NOTHING special. All it is is a less than desirable interior and black painted parts. Should have been a blackout package for the OBX and been done with it.

I think Im getting better color options on low cost with my BB vs the Wild Track. If i de-badge it and black out everything like i plan on, Im not sure how people are going to be able to tell the difference. Really dont understand the separation OP broke everything down. You might as well say, you can get base or Badlands, thats it. LOL.
