If you could rewind time and re-configure / re-buy your Bronco what would you change, if anything?

What would you change on your Bronco configuration if you had to do it all over again? Would be sweet if you could add options individually as opposed to packages that have things you might not want but that is what it is..

Me? I'd still stick with my non Sas Badlands 2DR.

  • 12" Screen (I did upgrade mine from 8" to 12")
  • Maybe the 2.7L for one pedal mode
  • Front trail camera

That's about it. The 2.7 upgrade for me would still be iffy as that's a lot to pay for a minor feature but I'd certainly give it more consideration.

I would have ordered Eruption Green instead of Velocity Blue, and waited for the hard top. I have a Badlands SAS, Lux, 2.7L.

After I got the Bronco I would have prioritized bigger/better tires sooner rather than later. Same with a lift and better suspension.

I spent too much money on things that weren’t really important or didn’t work out well. But I discovered I am not an overlander and don’t need to weigh the Bronco down with crap that I never use.

This is tough, as there are trade-offs for each trim… I ordered an Outer Banks SAS, Lux 2023, in A51 and cloth seats…

I like the Badlands having sway bar disconnect, but likely would never use
I wouldn’t wish to give up my cloth seats, especially when in warm spots like Moab
I like A51, but would probably go with Eruption Green if doing again…
I had to give up factory installed towing capability, and would add that (though no longer available from factory)
I love the four door, and wouldn’t hesitate to order four doors again…

All in all, there’s really not much I would change.

Hmm the only thing I would add if I could would be the high package, the zone lighting and front camera would be nice to have. Other than that I am very happy with the Glades.

I can't order what I have currently so I'm good. 2.3/auto high SAS BL. If I want the auto it now forces me to the 2.7. I'm not a turbo guy so with the 2.3 I only have to hate on one turbo.LOL I use the SBD all the time off road. I'm just going to have to take care of this one as I see it as a unicorn of sorts.
So my take is ZERO changes for this CAT! It's perfect (for me) the way it is...

Pretty happy with my Wildtrak/Lux 2 door. I needed to have the HOSS 3.0, wouldn't change that. It's off road a lot and I feel much better knowing I have that upgraded steering rack. I hear it's available on the Badlands now, but too late.
I am not the leader. I just like to go first.

No change! Still love the EG color in a badlands trim with the 2.7l. After almost 2 years / 30K miles, no issues, it is still well worth the 387 day wait. Would buy again. 5 stars. It is interesting to see what everyone shares on this thread.

hmm. I didn't order mine & bought used, but if I was ordering from scratch, I'd consider a Badlands, though I like my Wildtrak, because a SAS Badlands is the only way I know of to get all the hero buttons.
Other than that, I'd say having the 3.0 Hoss instead of 2.0 would be a good upgrade & I'd probably get either Hot Pepper Red or Eruption Green with a hardtop instead of my shadow black soft top.
Other than that, I'd stick with the 2.7, the lux package & the Sasquatch if I was doing it over.

My assumption is we could only change what is an option on the Bronco.

With that said, wouldn't change a damn thing. Rocking a 2021 4 door BaseSquatch 2.7l, Rapid Red. Has everything I need, and nothing more I want. $40,800 + tax/title/tags worked fine for me.

The great thing about the rig…. You can get as little or as much as you want (give or take)…

Would not change anything, although heated seats would be nice, but not worth the $ to buy the package just to have them...

Probably just the 12" screen, but that's it to be honest. I love what I've done with my BB. It has everything from rubber floors, to vinyl seats, a hard top and with all of the mods and after market wheels and suspension it looks awesome.
I knew it would have been a waste of money for me to buy a BL due to the fact I'd change so much of the stock parts and suspension. The only thing it doesn't have is a sway bar disconnect and maybe a certain GOAT mode, but I honestly don't know how often I would have used that. And I can just install manual disconnects later šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø.
I thought I'd want HPR like my first Bronco but with the set up I have now I honestly think it looks better than how my first Bronco would have turned out haha.

This. Heated seats were the only thing I wanted in the mid package. Wish they would have been offered independently.
