Below is a sneak peak of the upcoming changes. This is NOT a complete list, check back next week for a full list of changes, where I am sure @Laura , @Melissa Clark , and those in the dealer community (such as @fordvideoguy ) will have a full list of changes available for us.

TRIM CHANGES​

Base trim Discontinued​

As previously reported in another thread, the Base trim has been discontinued.

Returning for 2024: Everglades​

It seems Everglades has not shared the same fate as the Base trim, and will be making a reappearance for the 2024MY in limited quantities.

2-Door Outer Banks Discontinued​

Outer Banks loses the 2-Door option. Moving forward the trim will only be available as a 4-Door

​

New Heavy-Duty Steering Equipment​

A more robust steering gear is now standard on the Wildtrak trim AND the Badlands trim.

No details on what exactly this is. I am assuming this is simply the steering gear that the Wildtrak has already borrowed from the Bronco Raptor and is standard on Wildtrak as part of HOSS 3.0.

Heavy-Duty Modular Bumper as a Standard Option​

The Heavy-Duty Modular Bumper is once again standard on the Badlands trim (as it was in 2021). It is now also standard on Wildtrak.

Engine Option Changes​

Big Bend is now ONLY available with the 2.3L engine.

In addition, the 2.3L automatic option for the Badlands trim has been deleted. Presumably the 2.3L manual option will still be available, but that has not been confirmed.

EXTERIOR CHANGES​

New Colors​

• Shelter Green (Raptor exclusive) - This color was previously announced on the Ranger Raptor and will be making its way onto the Bronco Raptor.
• Yellowstone (Heritage Limited exclusive) - As Ford previously announced (and @Laura reported on here) Yellowstone will now be available on the Heritage Limited trim.

Removed Colors​

• Area 51
• Code Orange

More Color Options​

• Heritage Edition will now have access to Robin's Egg Blue
• Raptor will now have access to Velocity Blue

New Appearance Package​

• A new Raptor-exclusive appearance package will be available as a late availability option.

​

INTERIOR CHANGES​

Interior Seating Changes​

In a continuation of the 2023MY Job 2 changes, cloth seats have been discontinued as a standard option on many trims.

New standard options:

• Big Bend - Marine Grade Vinyl
• Outer Banks - Leather-trimmed
• Wildtrak - Leather-trimmed

New Standard Technology Equipment/Features​

ALL TRIMS now get a 12" screen STANDARD!!! This in my opinion was probably the nail in the coffin for the Base trim.

Improved Comfort and Finish​

• New 4-way adjustable headrest STANDARD
• Improved interior materials and finishes

Slide-Out Tailgate Standard on select trims​

The slide-out tailgate is now standard on the following trims (4-door only):

• Everglades
• Heritage
• Heritage Limited

PRICE INCREASES​

No exact details on price increases, but it is probably safe to assume price increases will range anywhere from $500 and $2000 depending on the exact configuration (and probably a little extra on top for Raptor).

So... that's it!! What do you think??
