First look at Ruby Red 2025 Bronco Heritage Edition!

[Broncyata]

I had a Ruby Red 4D HE 7MT on order before finding my 2D Race Red HE out of state in January. I think I might've scooped the last one with the manual available.

I think the Ruby Red is a great color, but doesn't feel "heritage-y" to me. I like the white underside of the hard top and I like the gauge cluster, don't like the running boards or tires. Also seems the 7MTs are getting kicked down the road.

All in all I'm glad I went with mine, but I think this 25 spec will make plenty of people happy

The white underside of the top would be great. Our tops are kind of a shit show inside especially around the rear windows.

I’m on the fence with the new cluster. For some reason to me the blue rings around the main gauges makes it look a bit cheesy to me. Still better than our originals but still off the mark for me. YMMV.

Looks like the Territory RTs have changed? Or whole new differnt tire?

I'm still wondering whether the OEM heritage tops are ever going to be available or if I should just go aftermarket. I've been debating between Anderson Composites or going with Turn Offroad and getting it painted white, but if I knew an OEM white top was going to be available within the next year or two I'd probably wait for it.

IMO, one of the big impetus to buying a MY'25 is access to the painted top. I presume demand will outstrip the capacity to manufacture them along with the MIC tops. Consequently, the painted tops available via the Parts/Accessories channel won't be an option in the foreseeable future.

I think you're right. Maybe 10 years from now us current owners will have some more OEM options

I think it looks great, and that you'll be glad you made your move when you did.

First I have seen of the new 2025 Ruby Red Heritage Edition at the dealers.

May I trouble you to ask, was the hood insulation installed on these two 2025 HEs?
I’ve seen a 2025 Badlands that lacked it. Apparently some decontenting for 2025.

The hood insulation is part of the "additional sound deadening" included with the HIGH/LUX. The HE is a MID package Bronco. It shouldn't have the additional sound deadening.

My 2024 2-door 2.3L/auto HE has the hood insulation pad.

My 2024 2-door 2.3L/auto HE has the hood insulation pad.

In that case, the hood insulation addition/omission isn't a case of "decontenting" but rather adding content that used to be restricted to higher option packaging.

The Badlands that you referenced was it a MID package?

My 2024 2024 HE and Everglades both have the hood insulation. But it appears 2025 models do not. Note the 2025 HE in the video at frame 0:36. No insulation.
That's decontenting.

Very glad I bought my 24 Race Red 2 door Heritage 2.3 Auto last December. I would not buy the 25 Heritage.
