Just announced this morning! Ford will be bringing the Free Wheeling look to Bronco, but as an appearance package for Big Bend only, versus a full trim like Sport's.

READ THE ARTICLE

You can get the package on both Sasquatch-equipped and non-Sasquatch orders. It comes with an Iconic Silver grille, red "Bronco" letters (seen better in the pic below -- I like that they are subtle), and MGV/fabric seats with stripes. Pricing has not yet been announced, but look for package 51F (unless that changes before the official order guide comes out) at your dealer if you are interested!

I like the fact that they brought the colors in, but not that it's only for Big Bend. There are a few other add-ons like a full LED gauge cluster and 2 new GOAT modes that they've added. They have a new "HALO" model coming out too. What really grinds my gears though, is that they are finally offering a V8 but it'll only be sold to a select few because it's the BRaptor R model. I honestly wish I didn't buy my 2024 WT this year and that I waited for the 2025 model.

Its fitting its for the lower trim level, they are getting away from the high dollar mall crawlers and offering these perks in the lower more affordable trim.

I get it. But there will always be a newer (better?) model. aren't you having fun with your Bronco now. I know I'm glad I got mine that is about to turn 2 years old in 25 days, lots of trails and 40k miles of smiles.

its weird the Big Bend is only an affordable trim if you leave it base, if you add Sasquatch (non-beadlocks) you quickly move up in price and you are only $760 less than a Heritage. if you start to add (to the Big Bend) automatic and Mid package you move into the Badlands price range. This is for 2-door the 4-door is more wonky you are looking at about $900 difference but you get the Mid package and Hard top on the Heritage if you were to make them apple to apples (as close as you could) the Big Bend is $2895 more, and starting to reach Everglades prices. so it still seems like Ford is pushing you to the more expensive models.

I'm just curious, who at Ford thinks people want 25 different colors on their Bronco? Stripes down the side (multi-color), silver grill, gray hard top, red handles (don't get me wrong, I love red). But seriously, Ford and some of their stupid money grabs are getting annoying. Let me guess, this is a $5200 add or something crazy?

They hope the same stoner burnouts that liked them in the 70s and 80s are in the market. Next up will be the econoline "free candy" vans. The Free wheeling Broncos of the past were cool but the side graphics weren't needed, now they take up the entire side which is just an assault on the eyes. And those sport wheels -woof. People will buy them and as long as they like them that's all that matters but I just don't get it.

The idea for the lower trims is for people that don't want or need the fluff you get with the other packages or will do aftermarket.I for one don't like loaded up cars because in five years half that stuff doesn't work anymore.
For decades the way broncos were outfitted for off-road here was to add better tires,wheels and a winch.Lifts, oversize tires and crazy suspension aren't really needed unless you are mud bogging.

I agree there needs to be a lower trim -entry level Bronco. But it just seem that if you want to add some options you get pushed to the higher trim levels that have more bang for the buck. Back in ‘22 my brother got a Basesquatch 4-door with every option; v6, hard top, full bash plates, mod bumper, and slide out tailgate for $44k
