They were so close with the Everglades but still had to make a few strange decisions. They just can’t seem to get it all together in one package imo. Ford needs to offer these wheels and squared fender flares on the other trims. Outer banks with the high package, Sasquatch, and those wheels and fender flares, with the black badges from the wildtrak is my perfect bronco.

Saw these on Facebook. The post said it comes with factory snorkel, warm winch, trim exclusive grille color, badges, and decals, squared wheel arches, raised vents on axles, trans, and transfer case, green interior accents with marine grade vinyl seats, desert sand exclusive paint, along with eruption green, Area 51, shadow black and cactus gray, with a $54,495 price.

Ha, yeah it seems like it. There’s been a ton of spy photos but nothing official that I remember

Everglades being revealed tomorrow. Notice at the bottom it says exclusively available for existing bronco reservation holders.

Hoping the digital IP being standard is true for NA.

I think it’s about time ford gets rid of the analog instrument panel on all its vehicles. Wouldn’t it be cheaper for ford to only produce one IP instead of two? IMO a digital IP makes any vehicle feel more premium. It might even draw buyers attention away from the cheaper interior materials they have been using.

that probably explains it. I figured there would have been more sales since the explorer expanded its trims (timberline, st-line, king ranch). Can’t sell what you don’t have though.

Explorer down 10% too. If I remember correctly, explorer is usually pretty steady. Wonder if the chip issues had a larger effect this month? I wish they also added available inventory to the data so you could get a feel if it’s a supply issue or not. Was the bronco sports numbers down because there wasn’t as many for sale or is the newness of it starting to wear off?

I’m all for both of those nameplates coming back as suv coupes.

A new mark coupe would be nice as an ev.

Ford authority says the ranger raptor will have an msrp of $52,489.40. Wonder if that’s including destination or not. It’s a bit more than what I was thinking but doesn’t seem unreasonable. https://fordauthority.com/2022/02/2023-ford-ranger-raptor-price-revealed-for-u-s-market-exclusive/

An everest raptor sounds nice. I still think ford should bring everest here. I like the bronco as much as the next guy, but I’d probably never take the top or doors off. The everest gives you a quieter interior with more options/features, more storage and probably a lower price. Make the Everest only 2 rows for North America and maybe it would not compete with the explorer as much and would act more like an edge replacement.

Ford needs to produce that interior. I’ve always liked the white dash insert since i saw it on the concept. Not a fan of the exterior though. They needed to paint the grill a different color. It’s so close to the white body color that you can barely tell it’s different.

Hard to imagine anything looking more bloated than the current one

https://fordauthority.com/2022/01/2023-toyota-sequoia-ford-expedition-rival-leaked-ahead-of-debut/ Looks pretty good. It kinda has a VW Atlas mixed with a Tundra feel to it.

Has ford set a reveal date for the Everglades yet?

Is there any chance that parts of this interior make its way to the regular bronco? Really liking that all digital IP.

The rear fender flares look like ass. Ruins the whole thing if you ask me. id like to see a tremor version of the bronco that uses the same hood and front and rear fenders as the raptor, but then uses the Everglades fender flares. It would look soooo much better than the raptor.

Front fenders look good. Still not sure about the rear but I’ll reserve judgment until official photos come out.

Still can’t tell if the fenders are going to look cool or goofy.

That’s awesome. I always thought $720 was crazy expensive for those, but man they completely change the look of the bronco imo.

Did you powder coat the beauty rings or buy the one from ford? Looks nice!

Raptors have a bunch of stuff on them that make them heavier. The f150 raptor is 800 lbs heavier than a supercrew with the 3.5. The current gen ranger raptor also has a Diesel engine which would make it heavier as well.

Those headlights are appearing on everything coming out of China right now. If that design language makes its way over here, I would imagine ford would want something different on the mustang. If it’s not coming here, then I could totally see them using those headlights on a mustang.
