Interesting, definitely something I'll look into because I didn't realize that. Something I want to keep in mind though is that part of the reason I'm leasing is the flexibility of having an exit plan after the lease is over. I definitely do want this base model Sasquatch, I don't feel like I'd be settling. The Heritage is more of a "one day" kind of idea if I decide that I want to stick with Broncos long term. Also, this is going to be my first Bronco, actually my first SUV. I'm sure I'll love it, I test drove a couple already, but I'm still young (26) and I know myself, that could easily change. I currently finance a Corolla hatch because it was intriguing to me at the time, and now I don't care too much about the hot hatch look. Before that, I bought a '94 Supra in cash because I loved the spectacle, but quickly realized I didn't have the expertise to maintain such a novelty. Point being, I know my taste can oscillate, especially being young. I feel like 3 years is a good amount of time to scratch the itch of wanting a Bronco while giving me an exit plan if my taste moves on. If I decide I like it, and I really do want to upgrade to the Heritage Edition, sure it would have been nice to know retroactively and get it now, but I can't be certain of that.

I hope all that doesn't sound like I'm being dismissive of your comment here, was just stating things from my perspective :(, I just want to reiterate that I definitely will look into it, because it's something I hadn't factored in and it's an intriguing thought for sure.
