Do all the Widtracs come with the spare on the back?
I don't remember anything about it on my order form.

Every Bronco has its spare on the back tailgate. Unlike other suvs that sometimes put the spare underneath, the Broncos off-road suspension prevents that.

I’m a little worried that you can only fit a bucket behind the back seat.
The 2-door rear cargo floor space is 44” x 18”. Certainly not big but definitely way bigger than a two door JL wrangler.

Thanks,
A friend walked into a Ford dealer in Avon Park Florida and drove out with a Sport. I don't remember the spare on the tailgate. What I remember is that it said SPORT.

I'd like to see some reviews of a 7MT in Sport. I can't imagine it's worthwhile in that case. Then again, every automatic Ford that I've driven I couldn't stand Sport mode.

It looks more gray to me than tan, which is what I had hoped. I will be happy with it!
Ford uses Sandstone in other vehicles, see if your dealer has something with it. It's very grungy looking IMO.

I think the difference in torque will be more noticeable than the difference in hp.
That explains the steep hill comment.

I dropped the cloth in favor of the leather but that actually doesn’t look that bad. How did they feel?
Just have to think so I want to sit in wet cloth or dry leather I leave the top off on my gladiator just have to wipe off the seats and go

So the guys at bob davidson were super nice and allowed me to do some laps in the bronco they have (2 door wildtrak in velocity blue). (for those up north i heard lancaster PA just got a 2 door too https://www.chapmanfordlancaster.net/ )

Here are some quick points. If you have questions ask. However it was a short test drive and im not used to these types of cars so im not exactly an expert.

1. The 2.7 engine is fast. Maybe its just an upgrade from my current car. But the engine felt like a waverunner while pulling onto the highway. I tried 3 modes , eco , normal , and sport mode. Anybody who bought a wildtrak is going to be SHOCKED at how cool sport mode is and everyone who got a badlands is going to be sad they dont have it (me). You can tell a major difference between normal/eco and sport. However i could not tell a difference between the eco and normal modes. Keep in mind , i started driving the car on eco , and pulling onto the highway with it still surprised me at how quick it was. But again , old car driver. Im glad i got the 2.7 over the 2.3. Sport mode going on the highway feels less like a truck and more like a sports car.

2. The ride is great. We went on the highway , and drove through some typical maryland roads (massive potholes and patches). Despite the large bumps the car ate them effortlessly. I would have been shaking in any other car. I could not notice any "tire noise" so i think ford did the right thing with the tires.

3. Open air experience is awesome. Never owned a jeep but its just nice to have the sun and air. Have not ridden in a roof off jeep so i cant compare roof off noise but i didnt really notice any major wind noise beyond what you would expect. Wasnt bothering me at all

4. The car is very large with the sasquatch. So much so , that at least in the 2 door , getting in and out of it is actually a pain in the ass. However im a smaller guy (5' 8). If you got the sasquatch and are not a sasquatch yourself , you should think about ordering side steps. Also its a massive pain to get into the back seat of the 2 door , there are no grab handles to assist you squeezing in. But once you are back there , its a ton of room and super comfortable.

5. The seating is great. It was cloth seating and it felt awesome. Very comfortable. However one rain storm and i feel like these would get trashed quick. Glad i got MGV.

6. the ability to switch driving modes on the fly is very cool. I think this type of "on the fly tuning" is going to get very popular.

7. Auto start stop sucks and doesnt make any sense coming from an older car.

WARNING to all early build holders who are getting the car delivered soon this summer. BE CAREFUL. the amount of defensive driving you will have to do is going to be extreme until these start showing up everywhere. Somebody almost hit me during the test drive and people were taking pictures and filming. You likely wont be left alone in parking lots.

If it is a supposed demo, I would like to know why Bob Davidson has it listed FOR SALE? Yet another example of my reservation order means nothing?

Baja mode then switch to 2W high... should behave like sport... at least that’s what I’m hoping. Thanks for the write up and congrats
It doesn't perform anything like Sport. Baja on the street is not good.

Thanks for the reviews and opinions, even the bad ones. The bad ones are the ones we really need to hear so all of us can get ready to deal with them.

BTW, we went through those looky-loos when we bought one of the early C7 Corvette's. It can be quite harrowing, and aggravating at times. But, thankfully for the Bronco is will probably ebb in time like it did with our Vette. Oh they still happen from time to time, but one can handle that.
