Yes you can get a Base even with SAS package with a 7 speed for under $40K. The 7 speed is standard and the auto is a $1,595 upgrade. Sure it's still a great deal compared to the Wrangler but Ford just jumped their prices overnight. Everyone has thought there were going to be corrections but not 10%+ on all models and options.Not that I'm terribly interested in looking, but is a base model two-door Bronco with a manual transmission and no power options whatsoever going for more than $44,000? If not, it's still cheaper than a Wrangler with that same option (or lack thereof) setup.
I cross-shopped Wranglers before buying my Ranger back in 2019 and back then, the local dealers here showed the MSRP (no markup) on a two-door, manual transmission Wrangler with a soft top and no power windows or locks at right around $44,000. Who in the hell would pay that much for a base model Wrangler with no options whatsoever? That's insane. My comfortably equipped XLT Ranger 4X4 ended up costing me just above $32,000 OTD.
Assuming that the Broncos aren't priced similarly, I'd say it could be a whole hell of a lot worse.
I'm more upset that they didn't get their shit together seeing as they had this same problem when the rolled out the new Explorer,I guess it was a disaster from what I'm reading. Right now I don't know what I'll do because I really want a nice off roading toy and even with the increase it's still a great deal. It's the principle of it and Ford should've been able to roll the Bronco out without all these glitches, at least in the pricing. Parts are an understandable delay due to Covid.
