There’s a convertible Big Bend sitting on a local dealers lot for a month now, at MSRP. Sales guy says they can’t sell them. Does nobody want the lower end Broncos anymore?

If it was a SAS Big Bend with MIC it would go fast.

Most likely it's a Big Bend with the 2.3l and 3.73 gears. Like what fun is that? The smarter dealers are at least putting the aux switches and 4.27 locking rears in them, those I'd think would actually move.
And to top it off, dealers are being dealers.... getting the same damn color as they always do... white/gray/A51. Toss in a little color and it might actually move!

I was at my dealer picking up my rig this past weekend from service. My sales guy came over to say hi and we chatted for a while. He was mentioning the same thing. They have had an OB (soft top and cloth seats) sitting on the lot for 34 days at time of conversation. No action. They have a few base models and a couple other OBs as well. All at MSRP. For the OB we were discussing, he thinks it is mostly tied to the cloth seats. For the OB, everyone really seems to want at least the leather trim. Outside of that, most of the demand is in the higher options and Sasquatch package.

I have cloth seats on my OBX and love them…. The only way i would consider the leather would be if the seats had driver memory…. If i want to re-cover the cloth there are lots of really good options.

Just talking to My Brother about this earlier as he is looking to get a white OBX, he is missing his Basesquatch.
A few weeks ago I saw a dealership that had 6-7 broncos all were Nosquatched, either OBX or Big Bends. I think with all the crazy ADMs people are just afraid to ask How much for that Bronco. Dealerships kinda shot themselves in the foot with that.

The one configuration Ford can build plenty of is Big Bend and Outer Banks with a soft top—it avoids all of the constraints, and if you order that configuration you can get one within 4 months or so.

So chances are anyone who was looking for that configuration has already received their order by now. Combined that with the fact that many automobile buyers have been priced out of the market by interest rates, and we'll probably start seeing those sitting on dealer lots.

My dealer has been pretty good about selling Broncos, but unlike the upper trims... they are selling at (or near) MSRP.

Gotta ask, what happened to his BaseSquatch?

well after he added a lift and 37" and steps, he developed a muscle issue from using the step to get in/out. it put the step too high for his seat it was like getting into an gen4 corvette. It was a glute strain We called it Bronco butt. and he wanted a truck again so he traded it for a 23 silverado Z71. He had a 2020 trailboss and a 2021 GMC AT4 sierra in the year and a half that he was waiting on the Bronco so there's that. this Bronco will be his wife's daily.

Lost out on Eruption Green BD over weekend..went back today with money and dealer offered base and obx at msrp..
Now I'm regretting BD I missed out on
A few questions I have I really liked the tires on the BD is there a way to get them on the Big Bend or OBX?
Also are the marine seats from BD comfortable?
Do all broncos come with floor drain (like the TJs had)
Thanks sorry for noobie questions ...really appreciate everyone's responses

Sorry about missing out on the BD, I still say that is the Best bang for your buck. To be clear are you talking about the tires or the wheels? and you can add the tires 32" to any Bronco they should fit just fine. The MGV seats are very comfy but they do make you sweat a little they don't breath very well. But they are super nice worth the little sweat. plus the A/C works well. All the Broncos have the floor drains but only the BD, Everglades and Badlands are carpet-less and have access to them, all other trim levels have carpet covering them up.

Probably the soft top holding it back. Between all the issues posted and it being in the cold months.

In Florida there a none sitting on lots and those they might have are 10-15 over sticker.
I am looking for responses to does anyone flat tow and if so what brake system do you use and are you having brake issues?
I am an RVer and want to flat tow a Bronco. I read there are electronic brake booster issues ?
Someone said they thought the miles roll up when you flat tow but the DO NOT move at all...

I wouldn't have a Non Squatch Bronco. The lockers and M210 front Diff are non negotiable for me. Well, there is the Badlands, but I want the 4.7 gears and 35's.

I purchased a Bronco Outer Banks from one of those lots that had 1 in stock. Paid list.
It has a inline turbo 4 with vacuum brakes so I hope when I install the airforce one type brake system it will work ok for flat tow. I will let you know....
