In order of my biggest wants:

1. Metal bumper (preferably with winch). Would buy this instantly.
2. Additional bull bar options for the BL besides Rally Innovations
3. Additional tail light replacement options to compete with Archaic (Love the look but $340 for Chinese manufactured tail lights with no warranty is hard to swallow)
4. Integrated switch panel like on the full size Bronco
5. RGB Oracle "Bronco" Lettering. I love my white ones, but to change the color at the push of a button would be downright incredible.

I made an offer of $275 and the seller excepted…shipped from Los Angeles…exactly the same as the Archaic....they fit perfectly…check out the listing and see what you think.

Have you done your install yet? Would love to see some photos! They're a tinted lens and I don't want to sacrifice brake light visibility for looks.

Never as good quality-wise as OEM
They will leak

They are very sensitive to angles..once you get away from a direct view the more the tint affects the light. The second picture is with the brakes applied

Head up display like the Escape.

This is a thread about what accessories you'd like to see, not which factory options you'd like to see. Accessories and options are two radically different things.

There are some AM HUD providers, though not sure if there's anything for the BS, yet.

See post #3. Those AM HUD units sit on the dash. Prefer built in.

Yep, that guy made the same mistake as you ... but that doesn't make yours somehow not a mistake. Two wrongs don't make a right ... but three lefts do.

There are other threads about what options Ford ought to offer. Yours are good suggestions ... just not for this thread.

I'll be sure to read more closely next time. MY MISTAKE Thanks

Have you seen the hood mounted solar panels? Probably a very niche product/market - but lots of folks are using them to keep their starter batt’s topped off (in addition to aux batts etc)

I’m waiting for an aftermarket cargo management tray. I bought a used 2021 Badlands and it has the panels for the system but the shelf/table was not in the vehicle. Probably in the previous owners garage somewhere… I have been looking for a used one or an after market solution in Michigan.
Yeah my 22 bronco sport didn't have one. I thought it was dumb but when I got it with my 23 it actually is pretty nice and handy

Man you guys are sticklers.

I'd say I'd like to see an air suspension option but not to lower it down to the ground but more like what some of the Jeep and Dodge trucks have were you can kind of keep it at the stock height and then raise and lower it a couple inches. That's why I'm putting together my own kit to do this.

There is a company making air springs kits for Mavericks but I went over to them cuz luckily they were local to me here in Phoenix and unfortunately. As far as I can tell, for the top mount for the rear spring, those bolts don't exist or are not in the same place on our vehicles.

Plus once again their kits are more to slam it to the ground and I don't know that that would be as popular for the bronco sport crowd. There's also a kit for the third generation escapes. I think it's the third generation, that goes from 2013 to 2019 I believe. But once again these are made to lower it.

I'd also like to see a push bar that doesn't block the front camera on Badlands or has some kind of extension or remount option so you still get the full view.

And I agree that some kind of plug and play switch panel would be nice and I would definitely lose my sunglass holder for it.

you may want to reach out to Cascadia and see if they’re planning on a BS panel. They’re the OGs of those in the overlanding space. Hood panels are more expensive than comparable rigid or even flexible panels though…https://www.cascadia4x4.com/collections/vss-system-hood-mounted-solar?page=2
