Hey all forgive me if this has been posted. But is there a thread that lists all the changes/unique things about each MY 6th gen Bronco. You all know the guy that knows everything there is about each model year vehicle, Like the 2008 Chevy Malibu is the only year with a side maker in the fender. or That they only offered the AMB in the 2021 Bronco. Not that I could remember this but could we start a list of all the changes/updates to the Bronco.

MY 2022 does not have the temperature read out in the HVAC dials on the duel zone HVACs
MY 22 they added a rear sway bar for the 4 doors (i think)
MY23 HOSS 3.0 option for Wildtrak

Bronco Nation 1100. Everglades, Desert Sand

I know I'm missing stuff...

The bumpers changed on Wildtrak at some point but I don't know when—they originally started out as plastic bumpers and at some point the capable bumper became standard. And I know the wheel options changed on a few trims as well... but I don't recall the exact details.

And I'm sure there are probably a few other minor changes here and there that I didn't think of.

Also MY21 is the only year you could get a soft top on a wildtrak for a limited time. IIRC.
MY 22 Everglades introduced squared off fenders, roof rack, snorkel, winch, special wheels, Mid package with 12 “ screen and no 360 camera. And only offered with the 2.3l auto.
MY23 Heritage gets the squared off fenders, white special wheels and white Modular hard top finally made it to production.
My 24 didn’t they remove the 2.7 V6 option on some trim levels ?

Due to UAW strike and material constraints the MY 23 2-door heritage models production was cut short.

Now in 20 years when someone buys a funny Sasquatched Bronco with a plastic steering wheel, they can find out it was a Basesquatch and that they were only produced for 3 Model years.

Help me to understand what type of rock guard type clear paint protectant is "not film" ???
I only know of 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 mil films PVC, and non PVC.... Is this something sprayed on?

Alright I think I've taken the responses from everyone and updated the list accordingly. Also added a few more things that I thought of this morning while I was doing the dishes.

I still am not sure when the capable bumper became an upgrade on Wildtrak, but if anyone remembers let me know.

Keep it coming!

Yes, It's a thick clear coat with a somewhat bumpy finish sprayed on over the color coat. It's purpose is to prevent rock chips. I didn't notice it until I was applying PPF on the door sills and I went to wrap it under the rocker. It's too bumpy for the PPF to stick to so I had to stop short of it.

With the badlands you could get all trims with the manual, you could get a Badman with lux. I think the lower trim levels you could only get mid package with the manual.

Lower trims you could only get the mid package with the slushbox.

Now you can get the mid package with manual but its a lot of money for heated seats, most of the other crap that comes with it is auto trans only. plus with the vinyl you need a seat cover for winter so the whole thing is moot, put on a heated seat cover and save $1600.But 43k for a Big Bend with only mid package is nuts.
