2024 Initial Thoughts

[MidnightSpecial]

Curious, what are the changes to the interior that make it much more refined. I recently sat in one at my local dealership and must have missed it. And there’s the $8k to $10k min upgrade cost to go from 23 to 24 35 pkgs for very similar trucks. For me to do this I’d want a nice power bump. But my 23 only has 11k miles after just over 18 months.

23's were not $8k to $10k less than the equivalent 24 unless you are talking used. If you are talking used then we could argue the Gen 2's are a hell of a bargain compared to the Gen 3s. The cockpit style dash, red stitching, and replacing the fake denim with the leather like material which is soft touch are the highlights for me. They also made the "chrome" accent pieces more blacked out.

Makes it feel more premium to me.

Yes I was talking about trade in value of a 23 to go to a 24.

Fair enough. Probably not worth the upgrade to be honest. I came from a Bronco Raptor so me upgrading was to get back into a truck. I probably wouldn't have traded my 23 in for a 24 based on interior alone.

Gotcha. The HUD would be nice. Same with the dual valve shocks and black recaros (why only the front seats is Ford cheaping out) on the 37.

Yes there’s a lock on both sides. Don’t forget to lock both sides.

I also came from a Braptor and the 802a F-150 Raptor interior feels like a Rolls Royce in comparison.

I test drove both before getting the 23. Amazing how expensive the Bronco's are and how much they left out of them. Had to be a huge profit maker for Ford before the initial hype died and now they aren't moving.

I liked the Bronco, but just couldn't get over the lack of features compared to the F150.

There is zero reason why a BR should cost more than a 37PP Raptor.

The Braptor has been the only vehicle I got rid of that I didn't really miss. I usually miss certain aspects of all vehicles I sell but the Braptor was just so overpriced. The mechanical features were excellent but that interior was no different than a base Bronco outside of the speedo. The sound system was the WORST car stereo I have ever heard.

I'm glad Ford makes it but it should be $80k max if not cheaper.
