There have been rumors of a Ford Bronco Heritage Restricted Version for the reason that starting of the 12 months. On January 4, a Bronco6G forum member began a thread concerning the mannequin primarily based on phrase from a Ford supply, the one data on the time indicating an E5G physique code for a two-door Bronco Heritage Restricted and an E5H physique code for the four-door model. Each could be fitted with the superior four-wheel-drive system that is normal on the present Badlands and Wildtrak trims. Apparently Ford supposed to promote the trim for the 2021 and 2022 mannequin years, however life acquired in the best way, so the primary 12 months was scrapped.
Now, CarsDirect just got hold of a lease residuals doc for the 2022 Bronco that included the Heritage Restricted Version, a doc Ford Authority also got and revealed, confirming the Bronco Heritage Restricted Version and its place above the Wildtrak. The doc additionally substantiates this being a full trim as a substitute of a bundle; it is thought the Heritage Restricted successfully replaces the First Version because the top-tier providing.
Ford’s achieved a superb job of protecting the nitty gritties beneath seal, with little greater than hypothesis among the many fan base after ten months of discussion board chat. A sequence of spy shots from February confirmed just a few classic cues. The prototype rode on four-slot steelies that had been initially white however spay painted black, and sported a middle cap simply giant sufficient to cover the lug nuts that will be paying homage to that on the unique 1966 Bronco. These white wheels would match the white grille seen behind the camouflage, bearing crimson “FORD” lettering identical to the unique as a substitute of the fashionable truck’s “BRONCO.” A discussion board post from June on Bronco6G included a elements doc displaying a grille with “FORD” lettering.
These previous SUVs had their metal wheels painted to match the white grille and a white prime, and Ford has already confirmed a white prime will probably be obtainable sooner or later — finally — and the devoted would not put any religion in a Heritage mannequin with out it. The prototype additionally rode on the identical 35-inch off-road tires that include the Sasquatch bundle, making good use of the higher-end 4WD system. Different hypothesis has mooted an Oxford White modular hard top matching Oxford White door palms, triangle home windows, an obtainable herringbone inside, and Bronco fender badges in script, however dismissed white bumpers and fenders and the First Version’s disconnecting sway bars.
All we will say with an affordable diploma of confidence is that it is going to be costly, for the reason that Wildtrak is almost $48,000 in two-door type and nearly $50,000 as a four-door. That ought to place it behind one of many different particular fashions we all know is coming subsequent 12 months, the Bronco Raptor, and remember, the Bronco Everglades will snorkel its means into the lineup as nicely subsequent summer time.
