Stroppe Edition Bronco has started production

[2DR22Bronco]

I love the Stroppe. I really do. The only thing I see wrong with it is the price.

Both for me price and colors I would rather have white steelies also

To be an authentic throw back, it should have had the base grill and FORD in red letters, not BRONCO.

i agree the price is way wrong. if it were in the low to mid 60s I'd be a buyer. I really dig the livery (and that's really all it is)

Why didn't they just use the HE or HEL grille? They already have a ready made grille that's white and has FORD red letters.

Yep. It may end up being the most rare configuration. I’d be interested to find out if they sell more than 100 of them.

Let’s just hope we don’t end up like Corvette guys!

None of these are retaining long term value unless something crazy like an ICE ban was passed tomorrow.

A '24 HE-L 2 door started at an already expensive $69,685 and the '25 Stroppe starts at $75,635, both are lux'd out BL's with painted mod tops. The Fox option on the '25 Badlands adds $2355 so tack that onto the comparison along with the different wheels, tires, 4 different colors of paint (Atlas Blue top, Code Orange/Oxford White body, frozen white grille, the flat black wrap on the hood and tailgate, plus the Bronco sticker and Bob's your uncle at 75k!

My '23 standard 2 door HE stickered right at $50k which is based on the BB and the only options were the AG paint and switches. I feel that comparing a base Bronco to any of the higher trims can give you the "value factor" in what you deem important for your use case since all our Broncos technically start as a base model. Once you start adding options and moving up the trims you're adding costs and yes, they all have a profit built in for Ford. Our profit out of the deal is satisfaction in getting what we want or need but it comes at all cost, to some it's minimal, others it's crazy!

I don’t care how much mine holds value I’ve enjoyed every mile so far I have about 500 miles to hit 70k in 2 1/2 years I just hope it holds up for at least 70 to 80 more I was wanting another 2 door but don’t want a base I hate they done away with so many 2 door options guess it will be a BL the only other 2 door that I could afford

Pressure by Japan has led to a lot of bad passing tonight.

I might be wrong but the Stroppe Edition seems to be a bit pigeon holed into a regional/generational niche. As a Gen X with a strong nostalgia bias from the desert southwest I really like it. There were enough of the original Stroppe Broncos running around at the HDRA/SCORE races when I was a kid for this to flip a few of my switches. Not enough switches to buy one, but enough to like it.

It's the same with the HEs, you had to have a tie to the originals to really want one. Right now there's 202 leftover '24s of the higher dollar HE-L on cars. com with the majority being 2 doors with some being discounted $10k.

Most people when they finally see one out in public will probably have a positive opinion but not when they hear the price or the limitations of it being 2 door only.

The stickers for the new Stroppe have arrived.

You mean like wearing jean shorts, white new balance sneakers, Viagra prescription and driving 5 under the speed limit everywhere?


There's a special place in hell for those guys.. right next to the folks with SAS broncos that'll never even see a dirt road.

Hey now! What if I drive my SAS at least 5 over the speed limit everywhere and wear cargo shorts and flip flops ... do I get to go to the medium place?

Hmmm....


As long as you can at least get a "halfie"

Love your analogy! I guess I must be the exception to the rule. I actually love the Stroppe edition with the "in your face" colors and upgrades even though I am a Northeast mud and snow person who had never heard of Stroppe before. I also love my HEL. I was able to purchase it off the lot after a few mark downs. Timing is everything I guess- If the Stroppe was available and under MSRP it would have gone home with me last October. I am sure there will be buyers for this edition even at the insane prices that are being asked (add dealer markups). Dealers in our area have new 2024 BRaptors for sale at almost 20K off sticker which makes it comparable to the out the door cost of the new 25 Stroppe. 2 completely different vehicles but which one is a "Better" choice? Goes back to your original post. It all is what we as individuals value most.. That is definitely is subject to our past experiences.
