I know this has been compared and discussed already, and there has even been a article I believe written by bronco nation talking about the Wildtrak with the hoss 3.0 suspension.

I just wanted to get some feedback from actual Bronco Wildtrak owners as I am currently looking at a used fully loaded 2022 bronco Wildtrak with everything except the hoss 3.0 with 6900 miles. I've looked at the vehicle and it is in very good condition. In my opinion it does not ride as smooth as a F 150 raptor, but that may just be me. The dealership is asking $ 66,000.00 , which as far as I can tell is in comparison with the MSRP of a loaded 2023 Wildtrak with the 3.0 hoss. One of my questions is how much did ford increase the price from 2022 to 2023 ? Next question I have is if anybody has driven both a loaded 2022 and a loaded 2023 with the hoss 3.0 ? Is the hoss 3.0 that much more superior ? As reviewers are now calling the 2023 with the hoss 3.0 the " baby raptor", which starts a ridiculous frenzy of buyers that only want the 2023 with the hoss 3.0 suspension because the 2022 Wildtrak is basically worth as much as a roll of toilet paper. This is one of the things I hate about ford, they update brand new models to fast and to frequently , which in my opinion hurts the value for people who just bought a 1or 2 year old vehicle. It's kind of a head scratcher considering ford can not produce the existing orders they have to build from 2022. So in summary my questions are this :

1) is the 2023 with the hoss 3.0 that much better than the 2022 without the 3.0 hoss suspension ?

2) how much of a price increase was there from 2022 to 2023 ?

3) is $ 66,000.00 for a fully loaded 2022 with 6900 miles fair ?

4) Has anybody tried taking their bronco Wildtrak back to a ford dealer to see what their bronco was worth used ? KBB tells me that 2022 Wildtrak with 6900 miles is worth $ 63,000.00 used as a trade in value.

5) Considering the 2023 Wildtrak also has a upgraded steering rack and is supposedly utilizing parts from the raptor, I believe 2021 and 2022 bronco wildtraks have now become severely devalued, like a roll of toilet paper.

I would appreciate anyone's feedback who has experienced both models.

Thank You.

So as an owner of a 22 Loaded Wildtrak it is an amazing machine! Its a super fast baby raptor already. the value is there, mine still has a value 15k over what I paid. I just recently looked at buying the new Heritage Limited, and it would be worth the upgrade IMO. We have a 2 door Badlands on order now for an alternative to do real off-roading. All of them have a new ford performance HP and torque Program available from Roush if you want more HP/Torque out of the 22. Which is all they did to the newer models.... its the same motor! Remember also all of the stats are based on Premium Fuel if you run it exclusively. The suspension and shock upgrade are nice and probably worth it if you are going to take your $65K vehicle Rock climbing and offroad seriously. If you are not the difference will not be a factor at all.

I have a fully loaded, brand new ordered in Sept 2020, 2023 Wildtrak which I just received end of Feb 2023. My sticker price with delivery was $61,240 MSRP plus w/rebate from Ford to discount price increase. I specd mine on Ford, the with delivery the MSRP would be $66,985.

I drove a 2021 Wildtrak at the dealer where I ordered in Oct 2021. Didn't drive that far or on bumpy road etc., but I would say it drove really nice (smooth ride), I would have to drive again to really compare as some people say the Wildtrak with the HOSS 3.0 drives smoother than the ones without the HOSS 3.0. Another thing to keep in mind if you were to order one now there is no guarantee as to time frame to receive it, per Ford. Also there are dealers out there charging upwards of 100K for the new Broncos!

In my opinion, if you really want a Wildtrak I would say that 66K for a 2022 with 6900miles is a good deal.

Good luck with your decision.

I have not yet driven a HOSS 3.0 Bronco, but your getting decent advice already so I’ll just pick out the question that hasn’t been answered yet:

Wildtrak had seen a ~$7300 price increase since 2022 (exact number depends on your order), which is the most out of any Bronco other than Raptor.

My personal opinion… getting a loaded HOSS 3.0 Wildtrak anytime soon will be difficult, it’s basically the configuration that is in shortest supply. So if one does appear it’ll probably have a fair amount of markup. You can try to place an order at a dealer now (many dealers sell ordered vehicles at MSRP), but prepare yourself to be bumped to a 2024 model year. And if you do, you’ll have to eat any additional price increases Ford decides to add on for 2024MY.

Thank you for the heads up. I went on fords website to check a bronco raptor and the exact same fully loaded 2022 spec went from $ 86,000.00 ( 2022) to $ 95,000.00 MSRP . WOW ! There has to be a breaking point. Now the bronco raptor is in Lexus SUV money territory and the interior of the bronco raptor is not worth $ 95,000.00, I've sat in one.

Can you tell me where you can get the HP and Torque upgrade for the Wildtrak. Thank You.

I have a fully loaded (LUX) 22 Wildtrak with the HOSS 3.0. Built in November, meaning last off the line pretty much for the year.
It floats over bumps and the like in the road. It's soooo smooth compared to the Big Bend I had. (HOSS 1.0)

Here's your hp/torque bump.

IMHO a pre ’23 wildtrack has nothing a loaded outer banks doesn’t have…again Imho the hoss 3 steering rack is worth the price of admission…

I definitely agree that a non-HOSS 3.0 Wildtrak is nothing more than a fancy Outer Banks. And if I was presented with the choice between the two I’m 100% getting an Outer Banks Sasquatch because that Roast interior is SWEET.

But to be honest, I’m not sure if HOSS 3.0 Wildtrak is worth it at the price Ford now sells it at—they have hit Wildtrak with tons of big price increases. Seems Badlands is overall biggest bang-for-your-buck once you get to the upper trims.

To each their own though. 👍
