2021 BS BL (Wildtrak in Brazil) - 9% under MSRP

[brazilbronco]

Just bought a 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands (called Wildtrak here in Brazil) for R$256k out the door (includes state taxes of 14.5% and documentation fees), down from an MSRP of R$280k. In USD, that is a mark down from USD$51,470 to USD$47,060. Taxes are ~USD$6,000 of that and documentation ~USD$200, and so more like USD$45,000 to USD$41,000 when just looking at the price of the BS.

Really excited to get it now, just 7 business days away from pick up! The accessory market down here seems a lot more sparse on the truck, so will be fun to figure out some mods.

Speaking of parts, there are things that your version has that aren't available in the U.S.

As an example, your version comes with turn signals integrated into the side mirrors.

The ones here in the United States do not.

I think it would be great to have them though and would import them, if I could find them.

Any idea on where I could look?

Is that a mandated feature? Different countries mandate different features.

I think it is. It's the same thing on the Ford Mavericks too. The US version doesn't have them, but the Brazilian version does. (The maverick and Bronco Sport have the same mirrors)

Another Forum member found the side mirror for the Wildtrak that includes fold-in mirrors, turn signals, and puddle lights. (I assume that Part 13B375) is the actual turn signal. Part 17D473 is the cover that accommodates the turn signal.

However, once you click on any of the actual parts, thy direct you to a different cover that doesn't include the turn signal. I think the system is limiting the options to just what U.S. dealers, or U.S. versions, would include.

I also looked for a Brazilian Ford Parts site, thinking I could order directly, but have not had any luck. I may have to call a dealer in Brazil, I just haven't gone that far yet.

https://loja.mercadolivre.com.br/ford is the official ford store.... seriously... sucks to get parts down here.

It's not legally mandated, though.

It's not legally mandated, though.

Probably determined by market research. I'm guessing there are a lot of narrow streets in Brazil?

it is available, it's simply not active in the US mirrors. It's cheaper to build them all the same and use On/Off to separate trim levels. I've had Jeep/Dodge vehicles with them 'built in' and a few keystrokes from a tech at the dealership (pays to be kind to people who have the power...) and boom...suddenly memory seats that adjust to your set position and mirrors that fold/tilt down when backing into a space or parallel parking...its common across the industry trust me on this

Hey @13MikeH, I believe that the system will support it, but there is actual hardware that is missing (i.e. not included) on the U.S. model.

I'm sure that @brazilbronco could post a pic of his side mirrors and you'll see lights that are included on his that we don't have.

As an example, the turn signals that are shown on this Maverick at the 0:07 mark do not exist at all on the US truck. Forscan won't help in this situation.

I'm going to talk to my dealer this weekend and see what they can do.

I'd be curious to see what's missing.

So, I went to my local dealer and asked them to help me locate these parts. He was able to pull them up in the system just like I did, but he wasn’t able to go any further. He’s worked for Ford for over 25 years, with 15 in parts. He’s never seen this happen before. Couldn’t find em. Wasn’t able to order them. I left him stumped and I am no closer to figuring this out.
