Idaho Bronco Event May 1st

[Tricky Dick]

So probably the same ones coming to Denver on the 30th

I think that's a good guess. I thought the 6 week comment would be interesting to others here.

BTW I'm attending with my brother. I'm 6ft, 220, he's 6'7" and something around 300, so we should have varied opinions. I should post a picture of us on the way in my Focus, I'm quite comfortable and he's folded like a pretzel.

I'm 6'2" 225 and had a lot of room.

That was awesome. Full report in a bit.

Patiently waiting...

Nice. Waiting for the confirmation that OBX and up still gets the crap hard plastic dash

@Tricky Dick yep those are the ones I sat in on 4/22. I'd like to see what your take is on the manual vs. powered driver's seat range of motion. The powered seat in the OBX seemed more limited than the manual in the BD. Most everything else at this point would require they let you turn on the vehicle electronics (how the ambient foot lighting looks, if there's any video lag when scrolling through the GOAT modes [seems like it in YouTube videos I've seen], and how the A/C feels.

Anyhow, have fun; I know sitting in it was a crucial factor for me in making my reservation.

That's what I'm interested in myself. I know my Ranger with manual seats has enough lift to allow my vertically challenged wife to see out, and I wonder if it's the same for the Bronco. I have the cloth ordered, but if I need I will move up to the leather option.

My brother in the OBX. The front seat was all the way back when he was in it and all the way forward when he was in back.

My brother in the BD with the seat all the way back and down. In the down position it actually felt too low for me. He said he'd be fine driving it.

Here you go. Unfortunately I spaced on measuring the power seat range.

If that big guy can get in there I think most of us will be OK. I'm finally going to get a look at the Bronco Tuesday in Huntersville, NC. Thanks for the measurements, I'm hoping the wife, who is a towering 5'2", can get high enough in the manual seats to see out. That could work. If not it's gonna cost me 2100 more.

 

[Tricky Dick]

Old style bull bar measurements.

 

[Tricky Dick]

Lift measurements. Axle to frame on both, hub to fender front and rear on both.

Oh yeah the first post is updated, check back there for commentary.

@Tricky Dick I hate to bother you again TD, but did you happen to get a measurement between the cargo floor, and the bottom of the cross beam on the roll bar. If not, I'll get it Tuesday. That's going to be important to us also. She has nerve damage on her left side from a car wreck, and has to ride a 3 wheel bike. We can get the bike in the rear of our Wrangler, and I surely hope we can do the same in the Bronco.

 

[Tricky Dick]

This might be well known but I just noticed, the rear nets do not have Bronco bolts like the front.
