Class II tow package is $395 on everything I've seen, the BL base price looks right to date (no increase on their Build and Price yet though?).

Anyway good grief, they already just raised prices $160 in December. But I have to admit, while I've always thought I was a pretty sharp customer, I've *never* had so much product information and pricing data at my fingertips ever before. Are these frequent little nibbling price increases common in the industry?
I can’t say with any authority from any marketing experience of my own, but my guess is sales have outpaced expectations, and they don’t want to leave money on the table. A sharp increase though might make more noise than they would like.

I think it will greatly effect it. If this is what they do and how the manage the BS, the full size will be much worse. Grab some popcorn.
Even as it is, the Bronco is a giant tank that creates a visceral reaction(!), is extremely capable, yet makes no financial nor practical sense at all for my use as a practical daily driver/hauler *and* weekender on the trail. My Black Diamond 2-door would be over $44K with tiny rear seats and almost no cargo room, and for what? More money for that 3500lb trailer I'm going to need to actually *do* anything with it. And the maintenance and parts...I've already had that $$ experience $$ with my F-150 -- driving it around alone and empty 99% of the time. And where's the EPA mpg estimates on that thing? If you think 21/26/23 is 'bad,' just wait! Now if you don't care about these things, more power to you. I can *afford* to "go big" and pay for it, but I still, like with my F-150, would cringe every time at the pump, the brake shop, the tire shop, and so on. If it were actually on lots today, I'd have bought that Black Diamond already -- and it would have been another regrettable mistake, probably.

Your F-150 experience resembles my reasoning in 2006 to ditch the 4x4 and buy my Escape + utility trailer. I was already lamenting dragging an empty truck bed back and forth on my commute everyday with my F-150, then gas hit $4.50 in my area for regular unleaded and that's when I bought my Escape.
Another issue with the Bronco is dealing with that big ass tire on the back. In the way and not necessary to be there for my needs.

I thought I wouldn't mind the wheel on the back, thinking I'd rather have the interior cargo space (still thinking what if I swap the full-size for the mini spare so I can lower the cargo floor on the BL, will that work or do I need to swap out the cargo floor piece too? It has a big descending lip on it near the bumper. Best of both worlds, keep the full-size in the garage and limp home to it, take the full-size on the trail?). Glad it's not slung underneath with a rusted winch cable like my F-150 was. But the point -- you have to open that rear hatch/gate either way, with that giant tire on it Over and over...I get the swing out arrangement (ex. Bronco, Wrangler), just not sure I want to live with that day-to-day. I could get a pretty bare BRONCO Big Bend for about the cost of a fully loaded BS Badlands -- but for the price of giving up all that loaded BL+BL offers (and the savings on parts/repairs, gas, etc.) for the privilege of riding around big and looking good doing it, I just don't know.

if you ordered already Ford has thedeal guarantee. I noticed at the end there is a May 10 date for certain changes they made like the moonroof option. My build date is May 10. It was pushed back because of parts shortages. so I wonder if that had anything to do with parts shortages as well as customer demand.

I think you might be right. That too is also my build week for my BB with BB package order (which includes moonroof and I also ordered a trailer package) for which there have been reported delays in part availability

Hopefully because the moonroof was part of a package which you now have the choice to pick with or without it will speed things up a little bit. I wonder if they will notify people who are in the system that they can change their order.
