I don’t remember if this topics been discussed or posted here so I figured I’d start it (just overlook my stupidity if it has).
What exactly is on a First Edition Bronco compared to any other Bronco model? (I’ll update the list as others post).
1. Limited to 7000???? ****(No real info as to the actual total number built but given how some customers are getting converted out of First Editions orders for MY22 its very likely the actual number of First Edition Broncos are lower then the original 7000 quoted)******
2. Hood and side graphics (black stripes with cutouts and some white accents).
3. First Edition Bronco badging INSIDE ((MAYBE)....Individual #'d) and OUTSIDE.....on the interior ((MAYBE)...by shift knob, on the bronco sale plate with individual #) and exterior badging. (Pictures Below)
4. A combination of 4x4 features from both Badlands (Heavy-Duty suspension, Stabilizer Bar disconnect, Rock-Crawl GOAT mode) and Wildtrak (Baja GOAT mode (Both features not on any other model)). (If anyone knows more, please post below)
5. Lightening Blue Paint (Photos Below), Available only on FE model for 2021.(Thanks for the info TorqSurv)
6. Lux package as standard......NO MOLLE STRAPS ON THE BACK OF THE SEATS. (Thanks for the info TorqSurv and dsnow58 for the question)
7. Metal rear bumper. (Comparison photos posted a few threads below)
8. Navy Pier or All Black Interior........Originally Navy Pier was the only interior option for a few month after launch and was claimed to be “exclusive to the FE”, yet ironically available on Outerbanks Model. After an outpouring from Bronco fans expressing the dislike of the Navy Pier Interior (Mostly due to contrast with exterior colors), Ford eventually offered a all black interior. Photos of of BOTH Interiors are posted below. *****UPDATE AS OF APRIL 16th.....Black Interior is no longer “Late Availability”, will start production soon*****
9. Full-vehicle under body protection bash plates (Thank you TorqSurv for the info).
10. Carpeted floor (No washout flooring). (Thank you DeepShag).
11. Modular Bumper WITH Bull Bar
12. Rock Rails Included (Info per Bronco4)
13. BLACK Beadloack Ring
14. BLACK Bronco Logo (the Wildtrak is the only other model with a black Bronco logo)
15. MIC Hardtop Only (No Painted Black Hardtop option as pervious info indicated) ***as of late March 2021 info*** ( :mad: NOT COOL FORD:mad: ).........Some info of Painted Black Top delays explained in the video at the bottom of this post......
********Video of First Edition in Moab added at the bottom of this post*******
————The below items I wouldn’t exactly call positive features about the FE, but they’re included————
**NO TOW PACKAGE on 4 Door FE models (due to GVW exceedance).......however, tow assembly add on will be available for all 2021 Bronco’s. You can add this afterwards, waiting on info to confirm FE (4 doors) are pre-wired for it.
**NO ROOF RAILS (Yes, it’s a feature due to exceeding GVW (again)....AND now it seems the roof rails are being redesigned for 2022o_O).
**All FE will ONLY be available in 2021. (Early delivery with MIC hardtop or you can choose “Late Availability” with painted black hardtop. (You’ll get it just before the 2022 builds start).
**Paying about $3000 more than a loaded Wildtrak (IMO the Wildtrak graphics are much better), PLUS with the Wildtrak you can get the Tow Package and Roof Rails:mad:
**NO “Sport” GOAT mode, better for highway driving. (Thank you DeepShag).
**Only 5 colors available to choose from. (Thank you DeepShag)
**NO paint protection option. (Thank you DeepShag)
**NO manual transmission option. (Thank you DeepShag)
**NO running board option....comes with Metal Rock Rails (Thank you DeepShag)
**Fixed low (no option) Axle ratio......same as Badlands model (Thank you DeepShag)
**NO Molle Straps on the back of the seats due to Lux package.
***** Free coffee in a Yeti cup included*****......a HIGHLY contested topic! True....or Not....:unsure::LOL: (Thank you Buckin’ and DeepShag)
*******Last point to add about the FE, It's a combination of different Bronco model bits and bobs that may or may not ever be put together again as a current Bronco model. It doesn't mean Ford won't do this combination after 2021 or when it revises the next version of the Bronco, it just means it is as it sits......a unique Bronco model unlike any other.*********
Please continue posting below any additional knowledge you know about the FE, I will update the list as needed. Also, can someone please explain to me the mechanical 4x4 features that was originally going to be on the FE that combined features of the Badlands and Wildtrak because I’m still unclear what exactly those are (would be helpful to other as well)?!
Cheers and shout-out to those fellow Bronco owners whom were among the lucky FE order holders. :cool: (y) (y)
