They keep rolling out these special editions. Raptor, Everglades, and now Heritage. But they can’t even make delivery of customer orders on regular broncos.
That’s because the only way you can order some of these trims is if you already have a order for a regular Bronco. I’d love to order an Everglades edition, but can’t until I get screwed with a wait time in a regular order.
Went to the dealer recently saw the sticker of a regular bronco with a soft top 4 door, didn't realize they only get 17 mpg combined with the 4 cylinder. That's abysmal. I thought the 4 runner was bad
I'm not sure how I feel about the red lettering, but I like the return of pastels on these vehicles. I also like the retro inspired cloth seats. Reminds me of when vehicles actually had character instead of being big sliver and grey appliances with seas of black plastic for interiors. Shame these arent available as upgrades to any trim and will more than likely only run a model year or two.
@@richardahne711 I personally don't mind the red lettering at all, it stands out and looks good, plus red accents have been a big trend so it's really fine for me. It looks good.
Have to admit I love Ford's execution on the new Bronco. They did it right. Has anyone seen the New Chevy "Blazer?" Seems like GM is desperately trying to be Kia 10 years ago.
Blazers have some heritage, albeit always was a Bronco knock-off. But the 70's and 80's full size blazers with the removable top were pretty cool. Military loved them!
@@johnt6673 The $120K first gen 69-72 Blazer/Jimmys that I see for sale and the demand that keeps them selling at that price would beg to differ with that statement. The S10 blazers that Chevy made were trash, always have been, and their new blazer is based on those rather than the originals. Chevy really shit the bed with that one and pissed off a lot of people.
The Red Heritage 2 Door with a manual is beautiful. I contacted my dealer immediately and got on the wait list for this beauty! might be 2025 before I actually get it but. o well, Imma wait!!
Nice that the Heritage edition provides a manual transmission. Really much truer to the simplicity theme of the original Bronco. Though the manual floor shifter was an improvement over the column shifter.
Yeah they should get rid of those digital screens and use analog gauges, get rid of the rollbar, put window frames on the door, get rid of the AC and power steering, use a rubber sheet instead of carpet, toss the stupid turbo engines and fuel injection and drop in a carbureted V8 instead, ditch those big tires and use tiny skinny tires with steel wheels, and while we're at it, let's get rid of the IFS and replace it with the super reliable dana 30 and manual hubs. So we can be true to the original bronco theme, of course.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper EFI is way better than any carb set up, especially for off road angles. Carbs/floats don't like being at angles. EFI is also better when driving up and down extreme elevation changes. You don't need to stop, lift the hood, adjust the carb for higher/lower elevation changes, clean your hands, get back in and drive. EFI does that all, automatically. The roll bar was/is a major safety cage, and it made the frame a lot more robust, which is necessary in an offroad situation. Not to mention that it was a Factory Installed part back in 1971. Power steering is a necessity when wheeling, big tires or small tires. It is not easy to turn the wheel when there is normal weight on the front end. When you are wheeling and you have the truck at an angle, there is now more weight on the tire, making it harder to turn. Also turning the tires through thick/deep mud is easier when there is an assist. Big tires/wheels help navigate over large objects and rough terrain. Smaller/thinner tires make it harder to navigate, or you add way more time while going around the objects. The only time a thin tire has an advantage is in mud/water, but even then, you want taller tires. IFS is a lot better in off road situations. You achieve greater articulation, better handling on rough roads/washouts/sand/beaches/gravel. The necessity to stop, get out, twist the hub (that may not turn when you need it to) and then proceed through the mud or over the obstacles can hinder your experience and actually get you stuck, especially when you needed that momentum to get through. But I do agree that making the interior simple and analog would be nice. Also, a folding windshield would make it truly a heritage edition.
Funny that you don’t even get the chrome badge unless you get the limited production version. Paying that kind of money just to get a vinyl sticker badge is pretty lame.
I love it!!!! I want one! As a 28 year old who loves the 50s and 60s, having a rad retro looking vehicle that's modern is huge to me. Definitely buying one.
Robin's Egg Blue with white wheels, white roof. So cute. These will sell like hotcakes. If you want an original you would spend hundreds of thousands. The painted white wheels are wonderful. It looks so clean.
Totally love these colors. They remind me of the optional custom-color Fender Stratocaster guitars of the 1960s. Super cool, especially the white wheels and white roof in combination with the body hues. The white dash, too!
Great review thank you. I am a die hard Ford fan and was very excited about the big Bronco rollout in the beginning. The endless supply delays and lack of 4 door hardtop has really soured me on obtaining one, especially with the current dealer markups as these vehicles are simply not worth the price. Ford has missed out on a ton of sales and what’s interesting to me is all of the video reviews of the Bronco are actually squelching the need to actually own one. So keep up the reviews everyone and my bank account will keep growing!

Me, as a guy who doesn't know much about vehicles… Only what I like, I really appreciate his expert opinion. It's valuable to me and has helped me to make the decision to get on the bronco list.

While I was looking at the bronco, I decided it was better for me ha ha ha, and we would get her, the bronco sport which she later decided was probably a better size for her since she is a small person and the gas mileage is a good bit better
Comments like this have me hesitant to even bother placing an order for one this Fall :( I’m in the market but really don’t want to wait multiple years for a new vehicle as I’m eager to get going. Do you have a production date yet or will you probably have to convert your order to a 2023?

I just saw the old-school "Sport" badges on the door of the yellow BS at the 8:45 mark. I think I'm gonna cry it's so beautiful. I wonder if my wife would let me put a pair of those on her 2021 BS.
That “66” Bronco is actually a 69 or 70. The 289 was used in 68, 302 came to Bronco in 69. Removable window frames came later as did that type of transfer case shifter.
ya there's several more give aways that it is not a 66. the tailgate is wrong. the door locks are under the body line. the reflectors on the side didn't come on the 66. the dash is all wrong the door panels are all wrong. seats are a bit different as well. among a few other things.
I like the red 2 door best. A chrome hub cap would be better, I agree. Nice video, nice Broncos, the actual Broncos. Afternarket will be doing this Im sure. Note: I wish Ford hadn't confused the Bronco brand with that sport model, same problem with the EV Mustang, flawed marketing and brand management in my view.

Andre, White wheels with a white grill plus a white roof as well as plaid pattern seats and it is available in 2 door manual? - Just say YES!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Andre. Please get your facts straight. Someone has their years wrong. The 302 engine was not out until the late 1967/early1968 model year. Also, 1966 Broncos did not have Side Marker lights. Realy disappointed that TFL has been getting sloppy with the details lately, Know Roman gets a lit of the details wrong regularly. Always thought, you were more j to the details.
Looks great. The price for the Bronco actually isn't that bad since it include the sasquatch package ($5k) and a hardtop ($1k). This is the way I'd go if 1.) You could actually get one, and 2.) Dealers weren't flaming a-holes who mark up the price.
Love the red & white 2-door. Been a reservation holder on a Badlands, 2-door, MT Sasquatch since June 15, 2021 and still don't have a VIN #. Since it will most likely be moved to a 2023 model, I am seriously considering switching to this Heritage model. Only negative are the cloth seats versus the marine grade vinyl.
Really love the return of the red and white (I had a new '76 that color.) The robin's egg blue and white would be my second choice. I understand what they're shooting for with that white dash but it's just too jarring to the eyes. They should really rethink that or make it optional, it just doesn't work. With as much time as you spend inside... I would have to take a pass, it's that glaringly ugly. It looks like something a teenager would do to his first car if it was 20+ years old.
Is it weird that I like it, to me it's just classic looking and is very retro, looks just like the OG. I don't mind it, some others didn't like the red lettering either but again, i really like it, i guess i am not that picky ? Idk, personally this has to be the most attractive vehicle on the road when it comes to retro styling, Ford has incredible retro styling across their trucks and SUV's like the F series and the Bronco, cars like the Mustang too and it's trims.
@@fortheloveofnoise I don't have a problem with it if the entire interior was white. It's the huge blare of white that doesn't match the rest of the area in front of your face that is jarring. Making it white just to make it sort of match the original's white dash was a good try but a fail, in my book.
That's not a '66 Bronco. It's got side marker lights, it's got a 302 (289 would be the V8 in the '66) and it has the later-style 4x4 shifter that did not use the T-handle. It's at least a '69 model. They should have given you one with the chrome grille which had the red F-O-R-D letters that I think they are channeling on the Heritage edition.
I don’t think you could even get a 289 in 66. I think it was only the 170. Also the wipers on a 66 were not connected and vacuum driven. This is a 70’s something vintage. I think the bumper was also squared off at the end and not angled. So many easy to spot items like the effectors. No the size of the front turn reflectors.
When I was a lot younger a neighbor down the lane had a purple Bronco with a white roof. My other neighbor who lived right across the lane from us used to snow blow the kids a big snow hill for his kids to play on right in the middle of the lane blocking it completely. The neighbor with the Bronco seeing this drove right over it even when the other neighbor kept making the hill higher & higher. The neighbor with the snow thrower got so pissed off because no matter how high that he managed to build this snow hill he couldn't stop the Bronco driver from scaling up & over it. I thought to myself what a great little 4x4 that Bronco was. One evening I was having dinner when I heard a large noise in the direction of the snow hill so I went outside to investigate. There was the Bronco owner cursing & swearing because the other neighbor cut the back of the snow hill straight down & the Bronco was doing a head stand right on the grill. Needless to say I went back in the house to finish my dinner with the thought of what a great little 4x4 that Bronco really was.
Man.. I was dead set on ordering a green Badlands whenever the order banks open back up, but I can't stop rewatching this vid to keep catching different angles on that red heritage. Looks so sick, might be the ticket for me after all
its literally available in 3 grays, red and black. Ford is STILL overdoing the grays. Apparently they aren't even offering a white on this one, which would really be cool to see with the white top and grille
The FJ cruiser as you know has the suicide doors which which wasn’t well received but I think more importantly Toyota was ahead of it’s time unfortunately. Such cool vehicles but too soon apparently. If they made a modern version today I think they would sell a lot.
What's ironic is that they killed the FJ right before the off-road boom started. Sales of Jeeps and 4Runners were slumping a bit, then immediately after the FJ was killed both of those started skyrocketing. Japanese execs were even trying to kill the 4Runner in 2017, but were talked out of it by the USA contingent. That's why it took so long to get around to an update.
Agree. The black plastic really detracts from the classic look. Body color fenders and chrome bumpers with matching chrome wheels would’ve been a home run.
How cool/reto would it be if they brought back the matching color steering wheel, premium carpets, headliner, seats and dash board. Please advocate ford on our behalf!
Andre I like the retro looks, but the old version shows to have a 302 which I don't think came out until 68 or 69 so it's probably not a 66. It would've had a 289 V8 in 66.
Bronco Sport is not a Bronco and definitely not part of the family. Ford should have called it the Pinto. For almost a year during 2020-early 2021, people would come up to me an say " I saw a Bronco, I'm not impressed (because it was a Bronco Sport), when are you getting yours?". Well, I am still waiting after two years (day three reservationist). Hey Ford try building the orders you already have instead of making new editions.
I hope the new wheel openings are that shape. I love the round when they came out with it. But now seeing this as an alternative the round is not appealing to me at all this looks way better in my opinion
Have a res#, want to convert to order for a heritage 2 door, does my designated dealer have to have allocation or can I/should I go to a different dealer?
Yup Broncos on a roll, to the junk yard. The lesson is stop building with cheap foreign made components. Do it in the USA and charge more if need be. If a buyer can't afford it too bad. The new Bronco name is now tarnished by a company that puts out cars whose beauty is indeed only skin deep
none until end of 23 or into 24 if you haven't ordered one already. These are only open to existing reservation/order holders until some unspecified date in 23, and knowing how long it takes to get one from order to delivery, I'd say there's no chance of getting a 23
Has anyone sat in both the new bronco and the new explorer and could tell me if the seats are the same? I've rented an explorer before and found it rather...acceptable - but the seats had very little thigh support, especially for my 6'6" body. Do the Bronco seats provide adequate support in that regard?
6’3 but all my height is in my legs. I’ve made multi-hour road trips in a Badlands. Supportive leather with enough cushion for comfort. Can’t speak for the cloth.
Hey, hate to be that guy but.... the old Bronco isn't a 66. 66-68 had 289ci. In 69 they put the 302 in it and the turn signals are larger than the earlier ones etc.
Hopefully these 2023 model year Broncos are actually produced and actually DELIVERED to customers in 2023…not 6 to 12 month delays… and WITHOUT the eye-popping dealer gouging..oops, I meant “markups” that customers are faced with upon arriving at the dealerships. And that quality control improves.
Well what are you looking to get without a markup? Most people are just wholesaling broncos and mavericks because they know it’s an instant profit. Blame the wholesalers who are basically telling dealers “I’m going to steal your profit.”
You always agree to a price before it's shipped. I paid sticker and haven't heard of dealers lying to customers, only buying any cancellations for themselves to sell at a markup on the lot. This adds to delays as basically no Bronco orders are actually cancelled and passed to the next round, those still get delivered to dealers and are likely sold at a premium. A lot of dealer sales rep "family members" have ordered Broncos and (not surprisingly) often back out upon delivery to the dealer 😀.
@@MS-ht9it Ford has issued a punishment warning to dealers adding charges to customer orders upon delivery so it's definitely happening. Also, most dealers are only agreeing not to add ADM to custom orders, and are marking up in stock vehicles. Ford also just announced that they are not taking orders from new customers until further notice. Add it up, and it will be impossible to get these without dealer markup unless you happen to be sitting on a reservation that hasn't been converted to an order and have a reputable dealer.
my dad had a primer red one of these that the driver door hinge was bad so you had to get in on the passenger side. i'd love to have one of these heritage editions but for the price, i just ordered a telluride EX X. i just don't do much off roading, and i love the tech in the telluride. i feel like i'm getting more use of features in the kia. i currently have a 2020 telly lx lease and love it.
Why does the 1966 have a 302 when the engine was not introduced until 1968? Seems ford could have gotten the correct engine and badging for a restoration.
They keep rolling out these special editions. Raptor, Everglades, and now Heritage. But they can’t even make delivery of customer orders on regular broncos.
That’s because the only way you can order some of these trims is if you already have a order for a regular Bronco. I’d love to order an Everglades edition, but can’t until I get screwed with a wait time in a regular order.
This the the dream come true for all dealers looking to upcharge due to “market conditions”

With as much time as you spend inside... I would have to take a pass, it's that glaringly ugly. It looks like something a teenager would do to his first car if it was 20+ years old.
The white trim on the Sport interior works, the slab of it on the big Bronco doesn't.
Is it weird that I like it, to me it's just classic looking and is very retro, looks just like the OG. I don't mind it, some others didn't like the red lettering either but again, i really like it, i guess i am not that picky ? Idk, personally this has to be the most attractive vehicle on the road when it comes to retro styling, Ford has incredible retro styling across their trucks and SUV's like the F series and the Bronco, cars like the Mustang too and it's trims.
I disagree, and I would go further as to say I wish the interior was completely white.
@@fortheloveofnoise I don't have a problem with it if the entire interior was white. It's the huge blare of white that doesn't match the rest of the area in front of your face that is jarring. Making it white just to make it sort of match the original's white dash was a good try but a fail, in my book.
Its funny to see this when the first demos came out, they had the white dash but wasn't available on the 2021 and people through a big fit over.
Agreed. Should have chrome dog dish covers
I think they look good but I wonder what they would look like with body colored cladding to really match the original Bronco.
These look great! Wish they’d offer the 7-speed manual with the 2.3L engine in the Ranger. Also, I can’t believe the pricing on new vehicles now…
People got sick of markups, so they said “okay, we’ll adjust the suggested retail price!”
That's not a '66 Bronco. It's got side marker lights, it's got a 302 (289 would be the V8 in the '66) and it has the later-style 4x4 shifter that did not use the T-handle. It's at least a '69 model. They should have given you one with the chrome grille which had the red F-O-R-D letters that I think they are channeling on the Heritage edition.
I don’t think you could even get a 289 in 66. I think it was only the 170. Also the wipers on a 66 were not connected and vacuum driven. This is a 70’s something vintage. I think the bumper was also squared off at the end and not angled. So many easy to spot items like the effectors. No the size of the front turn reflectors.
@@randysparrow8687 The 289 was available in '66 but IIRC it was later in the model year. It was VIN code "N".
When I was a lot younger a neighbor down the lane had a purple Bronco with a white roof. My other neighbor who lived right across the lane from us used to snow blow the kids a big snow hill for his kids to play on right in the middle of the lane blocking it completely. The neighbor with the Bronco seeing this drove right over it even when the other neighbor kept making the hill higher & higher. The neighbor with the snow thrower got so pissed off because no matter how high that he managed to build this snow hill he couldn't stop the Bronco driver from scaling up & over it. I thought to myself what a great little 4x4 that Bronco was. One evening I was having dinner when I heard a large noise in the direction of the snow hill so I went outside to investigate. There was the Bronco owner cursing & swearing because the other neighbor cut the back of the snow hill straight down & the Bronco was doing a head stand right on the grill. Needless to say I went back in the house to finish my dinner with the thought of what a great little 4x4 that Bronco really was.
Love that Ford brought back the Bronco. One of their best decisions last 10 years.
Sorry that's not a 1966 Bronco, because it would have a 289 and it wouldn't have marker lights.
Man.. I was dead set on ordering a green Badlands whenever the order banks open back up, but I can't stop rewatching this vid to keep catching different angles on that red heritage. Looks so sick, might be the ticket for me after all
Andrey - I love the retro colors! They are delicious!
I was talking to my 6 y/o son yesterday and he asked me, why almost cars are black, gray or white.. He was not wrong. I am glad Ford is doing this!
its literally available in 3 grays, red and black. Ford is STILL overdoing the grays. Apparently they aren't even offering a white on this one, which would really be cool to see with the white top and grille
Looking at this and looking at my FJ Cruiser and saying "Jeez Toyota you dolts, why did you stop selling it?"
I own a FJ and all my friends comment on how Ford looks just like it. I remind them mine will last 300,000 miles.
The FJ cruiser as you know has the suicide doors which which wasn’t well received but I think more importantly Toyota was ahead of it’s time unfortunately. Such cool vehicles but too soon apparently. If they made a modern version today I think they would sell a lot.
@@watchreport the crash on 2008 killed the FJ.
What's ironic is that they killed the FJ right before the off-road boom started. Sales of Jeeps and 4Runners were slumping a bit, then immediately after the FJ was killed both of those started skyrocketing. Japanese execs were even trying to kill the 4Runner in 2017, but were talked out of it by the USA contingent. That's why it took so long to get around to an update.
I like the throwback but with a white grill,wheels and a white top it needs chrome bumpers to make it work in my opinion.
Agree. The black plastic really detracts from the classic look. Body color fenders and chrome bumpers with matching chrome wheels would’ve been a home run.
The classic Bronco is not a 1966. The 302 engine, side marker lights, and humped dash pad weren't used until 1968.
They should make a bronco sport 2 door with a removable rear like a Jeep Wrangler. Not everyone needs hard core 4 wheel drive.
Love the new Broncos, especially the Heritage Editions. Unfortunately I'll never own one. Way too expensive!😮💨
OMG! Im so glad I waited on buying a Sport. That baby blue Sport WILL be mine next year!
How cool/reto would it be if they brought back the matching color steering wheel, premium carpets, headliner, seats and dash board.
Please advocate ford on our behalf!
It’s here, ITS HERE ITS HERE! The version I’ve been waiting forrrrrr
I'm digging. I'm sure the wait list will be forever
Very cool. A great idea from Ford, and executed very well.
Yay we get to hear Andre say Bronco a lot. I love his accent on it 😂
Dealers can't wait to mark it up
@0:01 - What's a "froading" and how do I get one?
I love it. Too bad no one will be able to get one.
Here we go. Retro styling and interior is so much better than modern. 👍👍
I'm in love with that blue Bronco Sport!
I wasn't interested in these at all before......now I'm tempted with this Heritage model.
Now this is the Bronco I would get...
Love that Heritage in Red.
They are getting ridiculous with asking prices. So much that only the wealthy can afford these or a fairly loaded f150
Andre I like the retro looks, but the old version shows to have a 302 which I don't think came out until 68 or 69 so it's probably not a 66. It would've had a 289 V8 in 66.
Wow. I love everything about that Sport LE. Great job and much respect to the past.
Bronco Sport is not a Bronco and definitely not part of the family. Ford should have called it the Pinto. For almost a year during 2020-early 2021, people would come up to me an say " I saw a Bronco, I'm not impressed (because it was a Bronco Sport), when are you getting yours?". Well, I am still waiting after two years (day three reservationist). Hey Ford try building the orders you already have instead of making new editions.
Correction: Ford shouldn't have made it.
I hope the new wheel openings are that shape. I love the round when they came out with it. But now seeing this as an alternative the round is not appealing to me at all this looks way better in my opinion
Love the white interior dashboard,
Have a res#, want to convert to order for a heritage 2 door, does my designated dealer have to have allocation or can I/should I go to a different dealer?
Yup Broncos on a roll, to the junk yard. The lesson is stop building with cheap foreign made components. Do it in the USA and charge more if need be. If a buyer can't afford it too bad. The new Bronco name is now tarnished by a company that puts out cars whose beauty is indeed only skin deep
Can you get the white on white OJ Bronco edition?
Red 2 door is really nice...
That baby blue Sport is the bees f'n knees, SO nice looking.
😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍 I love that baby Blue color! As well as the Cactus Grey🙈🙈🙈❤️❤️❤️❤️
I tried to buy a Ranger last month, the dealer said they weren't even taking orders. What's the chances of even getting a Heritage Bronco?
none until end of 23 or into 24 if you haven't ordered one already. These are only open to existing reservation/order holders until some unspecified date in 23, and knowing how long it takes to get one from order to delivery, I'd say there's no chance of getting a 23
Has anyone sat in both the new bronco and the new explorer and could tell me if the seats are the same? I've rented an explorer before and found it rather...acceptable - but the seats had very little thigh support, especially for my 6'6" body. Do the Bronco seats provide adequate support in that regard?
I am only 6'3" but I feel your pain. They should be putting extending thigh bolsters on all these expensive vehicles.
6’3 but all my height is in my legs. I’ve made multi-hour road trips in a Badlands. Supportive leather with enough cushion for comfort. Can’t speak for the cloth.
Just to be clear..... 1966 Bronco's had 289's not 302.
I've never owned an SUV or a Ford and I never will. However, the Heritage Edition styling is a total winner and makes me want one. Real bad.
Question
Is the the top painted white or does it have a white vinyl wrap on it??
Hey, hate to be that guy but.... the old Bronco isn't a 66. 66-68 had 289ci. In 69 they put the 302 in it and the turn signals are larger than the earlier ones etc.
I love the Race Red two-door Bronco because it reminds me of my 1970 Red and White Bronco. The love affair ends with the price.
Another new edition that no one can actually purchase.
Another great review by the Managing Director of TFL Trucks!!!
I like the Robin blue and white rims. Too bad the Bronco sport has a turd of an engine and is a crossover, and the real Bronco is unaffordable.
It's only a turd of an engine because your only transmission option is an automatic. A manual transmission would make it feel a lot more lively
They are doing it on purpose to make electric vehicles seem better, zero excuses why these vehicles are junk but cost so much
the engine is a turd in the sense that they are not built well. Transmission has nothing to do with it.
@@pabo8080 Perhaps you're confusing it with the 1.5L 4 cylinder which is a turd
no confusion at all, they both are.
White rims 👍🏿👍🏿
Love it! A chrome bumper would look pretty killer!
But why only a thousand of these Great looking Broncos? You haven’t got a chance of getting one.
I dig it. Just hope the seats hold up better than the lightening
do they come with Ford copilot+ driving assistant??
The bronco 2d is the best one But who’s going off roading in it though 🫣
@@vanadinite01 idk.. ive seen a couple ridge crawling around colorado
Heck yeah, is that at the Holly ORV park? Only about 15 minutes from my house!
Hopefully these 2023 model year Broncos are actually produced and actually DELIVERED to customers in 2023…not 6 to 12 month delays… and WITHOUT the eye-popping dealer gouging..oops, I meant “markups” that customers are faced with upon arriving at the dealerships. And that quality control improves.
You may have to travel to find them, but there are dealers that pride themselves on not having markups.
Well what are you looking to get without a markup? Most people are just wholesaling broncos and mavericks because they know it’s an instant profit. Blame the wholesalers who are basically telling dealers “I’m going to steal your profit.”
You always agree to a price before it's shipped. I paid sticker and haven't heard of dealers lying to customers, only buying any cancellations for themselves to sell at a markup on the lot. This adds to delays as basically no Bronco orders are actually cancelled and passed to the next round, those still get delivered to dealers and are likely sold at a premium. A lot of dealer sales rep "family members" have ordered Broncos and (not surprisingly) often back out upon delivery to the dealer 😀.
@@MS-ht9it Ford has issued a punishment warning to dealers adding charges to customer orders upon delivery so it's definitely happening. Also, most dealers are only agreeing not to add ADM to custom orders, and are marking up in stock vehicles. Ford also just announced that they are not taking orders from new customers until further notice. Add it up, and it will be impossible to get these without dealer markup unless you happen to be sitting on a reservation that hasn't been converted to an order and have a reputable dealer.
Those last 2 on the left aren't broncos. Those are Escapes
my dad had a primer red one of these that the driver door hinge was bad so you had to get in on the passenger side. i'd love to have one of these heritage editions but for the price, i just ordered a telluride EX X. i just don't do much off roading, and i love the tech in the telluride. i feel like i'm getting more use of features in the kia. i currently have a 2020 telly lx lease and love it.
1966? Side marker lights first came out in 1968 the 302 V8 in the Bronco first came out in 1969.
Over priced. No thanks. Some of us, though we are rare, actually care about what we pay for a car, and not just the amount of the car payments.
Love the retro style! My only wish is a 5.0...
about 80% wish such blame the government epa
Why does the 1966 have a 302 when the engine was not introduced until 1968? Seems ford could have gotten the correct engine and badging for a restoration.
Was thinking the same thing.
I love the throwback style on the full-size Bronco. But I'm having a hard time with the white dashboard.
