1996 Eddie Bauer vs 2021 Bronco Black Diamond 2-Door (with measurements)

[618TRVLWILD]

I had posted your measurements to my fb. I found it interesting my friends Turbo RZR S is wider than the 21 bronco. I'm not versed in SXS much but makes me happy. Illinois trails are tight. The can get that wide thing down the trail. I'll have no problems with my Bronco!

And you will get a/c and have your coffee with you.

Can you take an exact angle pic for comparison? No, seriously. It'd be super cool.

 

[MacHudson]

Yes, by about 4 inches. My buddy rode in the back, he's just over 6 foot 2, sitting behind me, and I'm 6 foot 2, and he had plenty of room for his knees.

ZOMG I have been waiting for this kind of data point for months!

Would it be possible for you to measure the width of the rear cargo area?

Is it possible to get into the driver's seat butt first without hopping or lifting your leg?

Yup, no problem for me, at 6 foot 2, with the 32s.

@TheFuzzyBunny How was the ride quality?

Ride quality was great. Felt smooth, especially coming from the 96 as my daily.

That was so helpful. Thank you for doing this. I hope to one day buy you a beer or three.

New picture dump. First off length. Th overall length is from the tips of the tow hooks in the front to the end of the spare / backup camera, came out pretty close to 174, we had to run it directly under the Bronco:

Someone else asked, and I'm not sure if you answered and I missed it, but what's your take on the Cyber Orange? It looks great in your pics!

Yeah sorry, hard to keep up with the questions some times. I liked it, as a stand alone color. I'd 100% get it with a Badlands. I'd also 100% NOT get it with a Black Diamond. Its very, shiney (?) with noticeable flakes in it and it REALLY pops. It just doesn't go good, in my opinion, with the blue accents in the Black Diamond.

Also someone asked about the stitching. It has both grey and blue stitching in the front seats. Grey on the dark MGV, and Blue on the light MGV.

The back seats were 100% cloth and NOT MGV. Pre-production was all we could guess.

 

[TheFuzzyBunny]

Oh!!! Someone asked about how the MGV felt in the cold. It took a noticeable amount of time for my buttox to warm up my seat. This one just had the base package so there was no dual climate control, and no seat heating, and even a good 5-10 minutes into the drive the seat still had some "chill" on it.

Cool, thanks. I'm torn between 7MT CO High BL or Squatch VB Mid BD. It really pisses me off that we can't get Mid on 7MT BD

 

[TheFuzzyBunny]

I'm 95% going either A51 or VB Squatch Black Diamond at this point with the 2.7. I got my manual gear rowing out of me in my older trucks, I got no problem with todays autos rolling through gears for me.
