Well, after a week in the Colorado Springs area, I gotta say the BS performed awesomely. Carried 5 adults and the dog to many locations without any issues. The paddle shifters helped greatly descending Pikes Peak and the crawl control helped on some back roads.

Not that I think anyone will really care or that it will matter in future value, but I did some research on my BS and found this interesting.
The exterior paint color of Bronze Smoke Metallic was a one year only option for top-tier trim Bronco Sports (Badlands & Outer Banks). It was also the least common color, accounting for only ~1.5% of total production . The Ebony/Area 51 (black/blue) interior was also a top-tier only option, accounting for ~20% regardless of paint color. However, the common interior for Bronze Smoke was Ebony/Roast (black/brown), to match the paint color. The combination of Bronze Smoke & Ebony/Area 51 was was not available unless specifically requested by the buyer.
Per the AI, if you consider just the paint and the interior combination, you are easily looking at fewer than 50 total units made nationwide. Once you layer on the options of Tow Package, Cargo Management System (CMS), and the All Terrain upgrades, the statistical likelihood drops precipitously. It is highly probable that your vehicle is one of fewer than 5 identical builds created for the 2022 model year—and quite literally, when you narrow that ~1.5% micro-slice of paint color down exclusively to the high-tier Badlands trim, and then filter for the Area 51 interior and your mix of off-road hardware packages (Tow, CMS, A/T tires, Full Spare), the percentage of units identical to yours effectively rounds down to zero.
