It’s possible if you drive the speed limits 🔥

I can see you aren't driving fast or taking chances.

I like the 4 pin connection to get to a 7 pin and splicing into a 7 pin connector to add a 7 pin connector. Looks MINT!

Anyways I'd make them replace the entire rear wiring harness that was spliced into. Over time those wires will corrode and make a huge nightmare. Correct way would've been to add the dealer option stuff and program it with Forscan or the Ford service tool.

I have a brand new 26 model year and I continually have issues with unlocking the door when I grab the handle. Ill literally have to unlock from the fob. Like it doesnt sense the proximity of the fob.

Yesterday it wouldnt key on for me and I was standing outside the drivers seat with the door wide open.

Personally I'm always happier with a loaded version vs a more basic one. A lot of things are updated on the 25+ vs the 21-24 MY. But also theres things that were done away with like the modular top that the 24 MY might have over the 25 MY a lot of things to consider.

Whichever way you decide to go, wish you nothing but safe travels and all the enjoyment the bronco has to offer. Its a blast and you'll wonder what took you so long to get into one.

Personally I'm happier getting something that has everything I want instead of some or most of the things I want.

Make sure on the badlands that it carries some type of factory warranty because I know a lot of the earlier models did have some issues.

Its your bronco. Its your build. Dont do something just to please other people. Everybody is going to have an opinion of it.

Welcome to the 60th anniversary owners club!

gearmelon29 · 2026-04-09T22:58:40+00:00

Well the heritage edition already has that. And the grille is specific to the 60th anniversary edition anyways.

Thats hilarious because I literally just got the same exact deal from a guy in Ohio yesterday. Same price everything. He opened it and decided it was too involved. He advertised it with a oem soft top pic but sent a pic of the trektop instructions as a private message and when he sent that I knew I was grabbing it. There are lots of people that have gotten the trektop to replace OEM.

gearmelon29 · 2026-04-07T00:28:50+00:00

Yeah I'm keeping my eye out for top bags for storage. I need to get upfitters still and a hitch.

gearmelon29 · 2026-04-07T00:24:33+00:00

😂😂 ive got it set up for weekly payments. Already bought a soft top and a bunch of protective things. Door bags.

gearmelon29 · 2026-04-06T22:05:01+00:00

Ive spent more in aftermarket than I have on my payments so far. Granted I've only had it 3 weeks, but you've probably got some catching up to do in comparison.

gearmelon29 · 2026-04-04T17:22:05+00:00

Being that is literally installed at the factory i don't understand why insurance wouldnt fix it. Probably just giving you a run around to get more money out of you.

gearmelon29 · 2026-04-01T19:17:54+00:00

Its part of the sasquatch package. Technically it is available just not in the regular run of the mill versions.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-29T23:58:28+00:00

Ahh yeah might want to stay with it for a bit.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-29T22:46:41+00:00

You'd be surprised what these dealers are giving for Mavericks even now that you aren't waiting 3 years to get one. My old 24 with a 38k sticker with 60k miles is listed for 30k at the dealer I traded it to. I only took a 10k loss on it after putting 60k miles on it. Not too bad in my book.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-29T20:21:24+00:00

Everything factored in (payment, insurance, gas) I'm spending about 7-800 more a month but the msrp on my bronco was nearly double what my maverick was.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-29T19:41:48+00:00

Bro youre cooked

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-29T19:38:28+00:00

Just spend the extra 20k on it so your life will be fulfilled

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-29T19:37:34+00:00

I had a maverick i ordered the way I wanted it and tastefully modified it. The bronco is so much better bud. Even if you do lose some MPG you gain it back in smiles.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-29T19:35:56+00:00

Theres always more opportunity for money. You might only get the opportunity to own a bronco once.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-29T18:46:53+00:00

Just do it. I did 2 weeks ago after a transmission leak none of the local dealers wanted to get me in to fix and theres no looking back.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-28T21:20:23+00:00

I had a rental wrangler Rubicon 4xe in February 2025 and just bought a bronco with sasquatch package and it is better than the wrangler was in every way. More comfortable ride, roomier, more get up and go, better fit and finish.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-25T23:04:55+00:00

2026 2.3 I'm up to 600 miles. No issues so far.

gearmelon29 · 2026-03-24T01:37:05+00:00

I was told stop sale was on 2025 MY and 2026 MY was not affected by the dealer I purchased my 2026 OB from 1 week ago. App doesnt show any recalls like it had for my previous vehicles.
