2024 Mid-Year Changes for Bronco

Foxtrot Bravo

It jumped almost 10k.

295 for velocity blue is crazy,

I paid $295 extra for tan.
that is the only option I have on my bronco is paint color.

I'm surprised people are still going for the sasquatch package honestly. What has Ford raised that price up to? I believe back when I got my BaseSquatch it was UNDER $5k. IF I were to buy a Bronco today, I'd definitely skip it. Just get something with the rear locker and do the rest myself. There are good (pretty cheap) options out there for suspension lift that are way better than the "rust out after a year" Bilstein shocks!

These things often come down to a laundry list of rationale. Fear of losing warranty, time, know-how/ability, up-front costs,lack of knowledge, resale value , fear of missing out ect ect. Some people are baffled by Shelbys,Saleens,Raptors ect. And their prices, feeling like they could do alot of the same mods cheaper. Fact of the matter is a modified vehicle needs a particular buyer an OEM or Factory mod car is always going to be something that a clone never will be and most often more valuable. People fall on different sides of the fence on what's "worth it" and what isn't. There's no right or wrong but what works better or more desirable for each individual. FWIW at some points people were selling their SAS takeoff parts at or above the SAS price. For the record I do NOT have a SAS but I can't deny the SAS Broncos sits and looks much better.

Well...the color is absolutely amazing. If I were in the market and with Cyber Orange no longer available I'd gladly pay $295 for VB if it were the only way to get it.

Really? New wheels and tires are going to run at least $2500. Flares $500. No front locker, really? How about the 4.7 gears (unless you want the 2.3 and shift it the rest of your life). I suppose aftermarket shocks are free? CV or tie rod angle issues? Something called a warranty? Resale?
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again- “You can’t out smart a Sasquatch”.

Same here, although my Outer Banks was (I’m guessing) not a huge selling trim…
Priced a Badlands trimmed as close to mine as I could and its $12K more than I paid…
I’m going to go back and price the least expensive model I can that has 360 camera… (Not holding out much hope)

EDIT…
Looks like the lowest trim with a 360 camera is the outer banks…. In looking at the new trim offerings, and knowing I would likely look at a two door as a second Bronco, the Wiltrak would likely be my choice given what is offered right out of the box…

Calm down there killer. Being that 90% or greater of ALL people who add in the sasquatch package won't ever need it, how do you justify $7k? Along with the fact that the yellow Bilstein shocks like to rot out in 2 years? How do I know? I've had (2) rot out already, and at $200 a pop it gets costly.

Smarter move, buy a Bronco with rear locker, once again most people will never need a front locker. Plenty of lift kits in that $1500 or cheaper range (with better quality shocks). Tires about $2k, wheels as we know everyone has their own style so let's say another $2k. While you are at it, take a look at how many people were selling their sasquatch wheels because they didn't like them, I guess you can take this same $2000 and add it onto your sasquatch package price. On to the next "issue", why do we need to purchase a new UCA or tie rods? Sasquatch is only 35" tires, therefor a 2" lift is still putting you at the same angles, no need to worry about a new upper control arm. Lastly who needs 4.70 gears? My brother in law has the 4.27 rear locker, performance is just as good as my 4.70's. And while we are at it, he went cheap route with a $100 level/lift (pucks), that worked for him. Warranty? Well if you needed the package and are off-roading it to it's capability then I imagine not much is going to be covered under warranty anyways. Snapping a tie-rod on the trail doesn't seem like something Ford would cover. Resale? I drive my vehicles into the ground, resale is the least of my concerns. Then again if you "need" a new vehicle every few years, well that's your problem not mine.

But you know what, if you want to drop 7 grand to say you got the sasquatch package that everyone needs, have at it. I was fine with spending $4900 2+ years ago, but today I would not waste that money.

Easy. Whether a person needs it or ever uses it is irrelevant. The Sasquatch package is stinking cool. Looks, function, warranty. It’s also a completed engineered package from factory, no work to do. I wouldn’t have my Bronco without it.

But then again my 22’ Sasquatch Black Diamond 2dr, 2.7, Mod bumper, and tow came in a hair under 47k.
Today’s price is crazy. I’m with you there.

Congrats!

Thank you!

My Sasquatch package was about $4k on my Outer Banks in 23. Money well spent for a number of reasons.

Had I ordered a Black Diamond with the Sasquatch package, it would have added $8,160 to the price tag.

OrangecrushBronco

Well, the following months will see an influx of Everglades takeoff wheels for sale.

Will the Everglades wheels fit the non squatch Black Diamond? Thinking in terms of the offset, hopefully zero, and a set of 33`` shoes to fit those Everglades wheels.

Prevailing logic on this forum would have the Sport canceled also because it needs Escape sales to justify building them.

Absolutely none of that effects me whatsoever.

Aren't you glad? I remember when these used to ruin people's lives temporarily!

@Laura, I completely blame myself for making the Everglades wheels standard! 🤣

Nag just looked too good...

Interesting that Maverick, Bronco Sport, and Escape are based on same platform, but built in two different locations… (Mexico and Kentucky)…

While one never knows with Ford, it seems the Maverick and Sport are both selling well enough to continue as they are built in the same place… The Escape sales numbers are solid so other than trimming offerings there doesn’t seem to be much logic in discontinuing a car selling 140,000 units annually… but I’m not on that committee

Right here! My one reservoir fell off and I filed a claim with insurance so the shop next door can fix my girl up. She was shaking like a leaf and squeaking loudly, so replacing that shit with Eibach's

I want to add the new Raptor style running boards that are now available on a 2024 Bronco, to my 2024 Bronco. They say Bronco on them instead of Raptor. I was given this part number from a Ford parts guy. (N2DZ-16450-CA Step Assembly) He said it was given to him from ford. But they do not have any diagram showing the steps or the parts included. I could not get myself to order them without being 100% sure it is them. I hope someone on here can verify this is the right part number.
