Eh, maybe too many of us Southern guys grew up without A/C. My first 3 vehicles I owned in Southern AR didn't have A/C. Did a summer in El Paso without A/C. Did another summer at Ft Irwin without A/C. Haven't had A/C all summer as I don't want to buy a new compressor for my Toyota right now.
Top off, I'm OK without A/C. Don't get me wrong, I really like A/C, but when in an open vehicle with the top off, I don't need it.

I respect your opinion and your views on how you don’t need a/c when it’s hot out, but the original subject was about the rear ac vent being on the floor and that the vent should have been on the back of the center console. The back passengers can’t feel the cold air blowing on them when the vent is on the floor. If the vents were regular vents and in a better location, the back passengers would feel better on a hot day If they could feel the cold a/c blowing on them. I’m not sure how the subject got turned in to how you don’t care about a/c when it’s hot out.

Alright, sorry everyone. Rant over..... ?

I'm wondering if this is a known issue given that the platform is not new, and that this is not a 'big deal' to this model. However, the lack of corrosion prevention on the underframe at the access points looks like trouble in the future. This vehicle is 'New' for this purpose, but has significant corrosion on the frame at the point where the coating has the hardest time penetration.

Yes, 'pre-production' and all that... but it should be pointed out and addressed.

I am actually concerned about the same thing being from the MW and having my TJ frame rotted out after the last 20 years.
Hopefully a few cans of Eastwood Internal Frame coat take care of it or Fluid Film. Rust proofing is a full time job here.

That thing, where you have everyone do a "jump (up and down) test" before you go out, and that one guy rattles so much he sounds like a gypsy camp.

They need a period of instruction on the wonder that is electrical tape....if it dangles, moves, can be grabbed or seen...then your wrong. “UNDERSTAND THAT” ? lol

No you don’t !!?

And that’s cool ?

Is anyone else wondering where the front license plate will mount?

Observations:

• Rear seat vents under the seats are pretty worthless. Good thing they are unnecessary anyway in a vehicle this size.
• The random accent colors are lame - either match to the outside color or don't do it at all.
• The rear seat legroom looks pretty bad in the 2dr. I think lots of people buying the 2dr because they think it's "cooler" will regret it later.
• The rear shock mounts need some more protection - agreed they hang a bit low. But easy to do later.
• Black looks good against the snow with all the accessories. But still not as good as the lighter colors.
• Is it really black or AMB? ;-)
• Still stoked for getting mine next year!

I find all the comments about the snow and Colorado hilarious. I’ve lived here my whole life (35 years) and Colorado weather is not a day to day thing, it’s minute to minute. While most of us are shaking our heads at snow in September nobody here is surprised. Its can practically blizzard one day and be 60 the next with everything on the streets melted. Nothing shocks me anymore.

Thank you for backing me up on this. I’m thinking, where the heck are all the southern guys to back me up on this.

I'll back you up on this. Done it many times with my JK, doors and top off, in the North Carolina summer swelter.

Excuse if this has been brought up but does anyone know what the diff is between the Performance cover and the stock?

I got here a little early and got a chance to snag a few pictures of the Bronco Two-Door Trail Rig Concept before they put it in the booth, but it does look like it will be roped off most of the time.

I snagged a video of them moving it as well. The noise before he starts moving is the removal of the electronic parking brake.

I'll check this thread for requests to get pictures of something specific. It is tough to see into the back right now, so I will see if they are willing to open the back up for some better interior pictures there.

Wow these are great pictures! My flight leaves tomorrow night and I will be there on Friday. Are they allowing spectators to sit in it?

All I'm saying is that a $45k+ truck (Badlands) should have at least as nice of an interior a sub-$20k Hyundai. Ford has clearly performed a bait and switch from the announcement vehicles to these.

"Here's the first look at the all new Bronco! Oh wait no it's on 37" tires with a 2" lift. Well here is a sweet white and gray cloth interior for all of you that don't want to spend money on leather. Oh wait no that's just to lure you in."

Maybe they are right to take advantage of their core demographic since some of y'all are impressed by an embossed lasso. We'll see how much different the production versions are.?

Still love the exterior though and that may be the deciding factor.

I can't say I've experienced the interiors of sub-$20k Hyundais and I'm sure they have excellent initial quality appeal, but ... how long do they last? About as long as slapped-together prototype interiors? Slightly longer?

On my garage wall of course!??

Thats why the best time to drive with the top down is at night. No sun pounding you.
