Just grabbed a new 2023 (sitting on the lot for almost 2 years), Badlands with SAS and Lux packages as well as trailer hitch and it was $12k below MSRP, so $64k to $52k plus $1k dealer BS and $3k tax, so $56 OTD. I'm in love with the thing after 4 days. It's Eruption Green and looks incredible. I'm OK with the inside, but the handles are hot trash and I prefer the grey dash vice the 2024 black dash. Being green and BL the inside sticking yellow is perfect for that match with my BL badge and compliments the green. I'm coming from a 2013 Rubicon and I love it. 2 Door all the way baby!
I really want to order a 25 Stroppe edition, but my 22 Bronco isn’t paid off or paid off enough yet 😢. My 22 is a Base and I ordered it so it wasn’t bad price wise (no mark up).
The Broncos definitely aren’t selling as well. I’m FINALLY seeing markdowns on everything from the less expensive trims up to the Raptor (20k off MSRP near me).
Today we’re gonna go over 5 reasons as to why the ford raptor is better than the jeep gladiator. See both brands have their respective qualities, if we’re going by that logic then jeeps gladiator is a piece of crap that makes 280 hp with their biggest engine while ford makes a supercharged v8 making 720 hp or the ranger raptor that makes 405, like no duh the car company that’s experienced and sells either their truck or suv better is going to include more options.
If Ford priced their Broncos 5k below the price of a comparable Jeep Wrangler they would sell. I own a 2021 two door Bronco BigBend with Sasquatch and v6 and it’s awesome. Would never buy another Jeep Wrangler after owing this.
8:12 I noticed this when I was about to purchase my Black Diamond Sasquatch. Originally I was going for either Race Red or Hot Pepper. But as soon as I noticed the trim color in both was blue because It was way the trim dictates, I went with Velocity Blue.
got both of my broncos at msrp back in 2022. my 2 door is a base amd my 4 door is a bd mid package. my base has 6800 miles in 2 years . i got the base to build and wheel it yes its on 37s my wifes drives the 4 door and the day she got it home she wanted it lifted its on 37 to.
With the updates to the 25's I feel like the used and new that have not moved are going to drop even farther. It's not that it's a bad vehicle, Ford just priced most of their consumers out of the market for them plus dealers marking them up was a disaster.
I picked up a 23 Wildtrac 4-Dr Hardtop, Cactus Gray, Modular Bumper, High Lux, 12k miles for 58k. Was a special order and had every option. Im sure the original owner paid over MSRP which was 69k. Been through all types of Jeeps and traded my TRD Tacoma because i needed bigger. Bronco drives great and looks super cool.
As a 24 big bend owner that order and took delivery in January and paid MSRP and negotiated all fees off, I agree with the interior take of the crazy colors on the other trims. The price is still holding on the retail side but now you can work discounts or incentives now. I think there is still some demand but people can't afford it.
I don't mind Ford not offering the V8 for an offroad vehicle that is designed more for rock crawling. You can always purchase an aftermarket v8 and drop it into the Bronco, even though it is expensive. But I think that the interior colors being based off of trim package is particularly annoying. I don't mind replacing the meat and potatoes of a Bronco like the suspension and engine, but I don't want to redo the interior of an offroading vehicle. I will continue waiting for a few more years to see if Ford makes some more positive changes to the Bronco.
I was on reserve for a Bronco on day 1, but ultimately cancelled because I HATED the brown interior of the WildTrack and refused to spend $60,000+ (the delays for delivery and cost kept rising, so I stopped paying attention what it finally sold for) for a new vehicle I hated the interior.
Went looking for a Bronco Sport for the GF yesterday. Back in 2022 we tried to get her one and their was an ADM of $4,000-$6,000. Now they are taking $5,000-$6,000 off MSRP. Had my Mach 1 at the Ford dealer last month. 30 Broncos on the lot PLUS 10 Bronco Raptors.
Is a minimal rust drivable first gen even attainable for under 40k now. Seems like I can't find one that doesn't need major work in the 20-30k range. I'd like to find something like Nash tbh.
New Bronco cost more than the Lexis 550 that’s twice the vehicle. Willdtrack Bronco selling for 69k, 100k Raptors, heritage models 79k hello wayyyy too much $$$ add in high APR’s equals no sale. New Bronco has only been out since 2021 & its telling how many used ones are on the market, not to mention you’re seeing unsold 2023 Raptors still sitting on lots, bottom line it’s too expensive consumers are not buying it and it’s obvious, forgot to factor in all the recalls as well.
This. More well rounded options out there for less. I was looking at offroad capable trucks that could also tow decently and it meant the Bronco was not even on the radar. The Ranger, the Colorado ZR2, the Gladiator Ecodiesel, the GX550, the Sequoia, and the 200 series Land Cruisers/LX570's were all on my radar. Ended up in an LX570, put it on 35's and some steel skids and its extremely capable. And its built like a damn tank and will take some serious abuse without snapping tie rods and CV's. 9.5" Full float rear axle from the factory. Probably would have had a Gladiator but their cooling system was lacking for towing and I didnt wanna deal with overheating.
Sliding rear window option on that Blue '78 are worth a grand easy. They don't make those anymore to my knowledge. Race Track Trim would be another $500.
