Went to the Bronco Showcase at Kansas Rocks Recreation Park today. Got access to put my hands on a Bronco for the first time, definitely met my expectations. Both were 4-door, both Badlands non-squach, both had soft tops.

Plenty of room in the front seat, I'm 5'11", had the drivers seat somewhere in the middle. I did fit in the back seat with the front seat all the way back (see in pics).

MPG 1000+ miles was at 15.8. Rep said it was a pre-production model so it could change slightly.

The one thing that surprised me was the marine grade vinyl seats. I opted for the leather trimmed seats (because I had to have heated seats) but the vinyl seats were great. Looked good, had a pleasant texture, all around very nice.

The reps were awesome, answered all of the questions they could. Had a great presentation, took off doors for anyone who wanted to see, folded up the tops,... All around a great experience. My friend had to drag me away.

Nice pics. I have always wondered if the clock with the dash info is the total time the bronco has been on because if we are looking at 25 days, 14 hr, 38 min? If that is true and they only drove 1079 or 1086 miles in all that time then the bronco has be left idling for a pretty long time meaning the 15.8mpg would not be an accurate representation of mpg.

Thanks for the pictures! Just an FYI, you can get heated seats with MGV, comes with the mid package. MGV doesn't come with power seats though.

Thanks for the writeup and your impression of seeing a Bronco. What were you thoughts on Race Red/Rapid Red? My order is currently Shadow Black but really have been considering Race Red recently.

My order is Velocity Blue but I was considering Rapid Red at one time. My wife has a 2016 Ruby Red Explorer Sport, we really love that color and I think it's fairly close. I think it would look great with a shiny Modular Hardtop but I don't think it looks as good with all of the matte black features on the Bronco. In person I think the Race Red was the better of the 2, just fit a little better IMO.

Great photos!
Haven’t seen the seats photoed like that before- really gives us an idea the texture of the MGV
Thanks!

I think the balance of the tank is more telling since it’s the computers estimate of mixed driving. Although I’m not sure if it takes into account your driving style of the miles used thus far (such as idling). Anyway that math implies 16.8 mixed mpg (looks to be three quarters full on the nose). But then again this is a non sas badlands. Probably slots between non-sas and sas for the other trims

I just got back from there and the MGV, with top off and sun on it, was not hot at all, to my surprise. It's mid-70s here today, so not too hot, but I was very pleasantly surprised!

Thank you!!! Those Cyber School Bus accents up against the Race Red is what I've been dying to see more of to feel comfortable driving it around without looking like Ronald McDonald and... well, the stitching bothers me less than the grab handles, but they have Bronco bolts.

Same here. Still trying to decide of sticking with Oxford White or going to Race Red. On a 2 door it adds the body color on inside of the doors which would really clash. But that could easily get wrap put on it to whatever color you want.

MPG 1000+ miles was at 15.8. Rep said it was a pre-production model so it could change slightly.

Was this the 2.3L engine or the 2.7?
