Any more pics? After sitting in the seats would you recommend them, or go for the MGV?

As I have said before, I bet a 2.3 auto 4 dr Bronco is faster 0 to 60 than a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. I am old enough to know.

Hahaha it's all about perspective I would say the two door would be faster 0 to 60.

I have never been in the MGV seats , so can’t compare. They felt fine, comfortable, really not noticeable in a big way positive or negative other than I quickly got comfortable and had plenty of adjustment. It did seem like the seat bottoms were slightly longer than the Ranger, which are noticeably short. I went MGV, but didn’t find the cloth objectionable.

But.... But I already have a 7.2 ltr V8..... And a 3.8 ltr inline 6........ And a 2.5 ltr inline 4 turbo.

I guess when you're already rocking most engine configurations and cars with, carburetors ranging from 750 cfm to dual 240 cfm's, 6-volt systems, positive-ground , Huck, Drum and Disc brakes, you just don't get that throbbing erection for a 2.7 ltr inline 4 twin-turbo built for truck duty.

I'll tell you though, ANY of those motors paired to a car with huck brakes and leafed front suspension and you're hot rod will be throbbing so hard in your girls hands at 25 mph you won't give one hot damn for any other car on earth when you're driving it (mostly because you're going to die at any second). You better make that one stop count before the brakes overheat!

Lol I love your poetry

Thank you! How close is it to the ranger in ride and handling?

That is a good looking bronco.

Any sense for cabin space in rear in comparison to FX4? Very curious... As I'm still weighing FX4 Tremor as an option as well.

Very, in a good way! It was really excellent, no way you would guess you were driving a full frame mid size suv with 35” all terrains.

Hey op. Thanks for sharing all this info. Question regarding the cloth seats. Were they coarse like or more so smooth?

Similar, but I didn’t focus on it. That would be my second choice as well, but after being up close and personal, I am all in on the Bronco. It is my second in person opportunity with the G6 Bronco and both looked great. This solidified my decision for sure.

Not noticeable in my brief experience, likely similar to my 2018 cloth f150?

Would you get the soft top in a winter climate?

Personally no, but not because of this top, I just don’t really like soft tops. My Jeep was pretty much either hard top or bikini top, Bronco will likely be the same.
