I'm sure I picked the wrong section to post this lol.

I know this is a Ranger forum, but its Ford related lol. I was goofing around on Ford's website and saw the 2025 Broncos are "buildable" so I ventured in. Shockingly, I did not see a V6 option for the Bronco ( I chose a Badlands so maybe one of the other trims have it) just the 2.3L with 7spd manual and 10spd auto options. Couple new colors that hopefully make their way to the Ranger platform, Marsh Gray, Desert Sand and Ruby Red Metallic. Prices don't seem to be too bad compared to the 2024 from what I remember, maybe a slight increase.

*Edit: Clicking around it appears you have to get a 4dr (BOOOO!) to get the 2.7L V6. This special edition Stroppe Edition is the only 2 DR with the V6.

Yes Morgan you put it in the wrong section.

But luckily I know a guy who knows another guy that moved it for you. ?

I haven't looked at the Bronco's in a few years but they're not selling like they were when they first came out. I've seen $2k-$3K in rebates being offered lately too. My original build from 2020 was a Badlands with the high package and a few other extras and was $38K.

"General Automotive" I should know that, I think I did this once before lol.

I like that they have a Black Appearance package now which makes the removable top black. That greyish color doesn't look good on certain colors.

My build was priced @ $63K cause I want all the things .

I remember reading that they were bringing the "base" spec back for 2025 as well.

Friend of mine had his Maverick in for some warranty work. He said that they had a hole row of Broncos, they told him they just were not selling.

I hate to say it but good! Most of these dealers got greedy and were throwing ridiculous ADM's ($10K-$20K) on the Bronco when it first came out. Some even had contracts to sell at a set price then added these. Also, Ford changed the rules in the middle of the game and added in an allocation system which basically screwed the smaller dealers and rewards larger dealers with more allocations. As far as I'm concerned they can all rust to the ground on every dealers lot! Yes, I'm still bitter about not getting my Bronco.

Well, you remember how the Ranger lost features just about every year, at least we didn't lose an engine option... (joking since we only had no option to start with, just the standard engine for all)

Yea they did.

I like the Bronco, but I have a reservation for a Scout Terra………..

I really like the look of the Rivian R3 - looks like an electric VW Golf...

I really would love to get a 2-door bronco . . . they look super nimble and I think they would be good to drag behind a camper.


EDIT- Of course the badlands, lux sasquatch is still a 60k vehicle - even as a 2-door. and lets not talk about how going from a 2-door badlands to a Braptor nearly doubles the price. WTF. Braptors are nice, but they are not that nice - that is entry level supercar pricing...

Broncos had gotten so expensive at one point with markups it made sense to cross-shop Defenders. Sillyness.

They aren't selling because most are specc'ed out so ridiculously high nobody is really interested in paying 60k for one

I doubt there's 'a whole row' of base model 25-35k versions sitting there because that's not what the dealership wants to make commish on

since they start at 39k I doubt it too ;-)
