Headed down to Padre Island National Seashore here in TX last weekend and was able to dial into sand mode and get way off the beaten path for some beach cruising for the first time. Past the 5 mile marker, 4 wheel drive and high clearance is required - and you have miles & miles of beach to...

Finally took delivery of my Bronco this week and I'm having a blast with it. Took some pictures with one of its stable mates - I have two 1929 Model A Fords (sedan and a roadster) Was cool seeing these two together - a Tudor sedan and a 2 door Bronco, 1929 and 2023 - both designed and built by...

Yes - I'm really puzzled by the badges for the trim levels - there is no consistency to the shapes or typeface - the illustration styles change from one to another, etc. Type height/width & thickness are all different. They don't hang together as a "family" and look like they are all over the...

I actually like the feel of the steering wheel - the texture of it feels good in my hands and the size/width are good. I'm not used to the leather wrapped feel and seems like it would be thick with a cover on it. You may be surprised - it doesn't look feel cheap or plastic.

Well, 651 days later my new Bronco is finally here. I managed to avoid the dreaded email of death and get mine built at the start of the year despite having several constrained items. My build is a 2023 two-door base, with Sasquatch and 2.7L - in Cactus Grey. I really think the base is the...

Tell me more about the price protection guarantee from Ford? My original order date was May of 2021 - I am just now having to update my order again to a 2023 - no changes to my original order (2 door base with Sasquatch) and dealer sent me an updated order summary form that is $4,000 more now...

One other question I was not clear on - does Base have Bluetooth capability to pair your phone with Apple Carplay for calls/music/navigation? Was not sure what was included with the Sync 4 or if it differed between models - thanks

@BronchoPeat I've been really enjoying this thread as well since this is almost exact my order - except that I got the 2.7L - keep putting up photos! I've been saving them to look at and distract myself from how long it will be until I have one sitting in my driveway Basequatch in carbonized...

Thanks so much! I am a graphic designer and illustrator by trade - and I'm always sneaking around taking pictures My fave is what I ordered - same as you, Carbonized Grey - there was only one out there and it was the exact same build as my order - 2 door Basequatch, 2.7L - also one of the only...

A few more inside Base Camp - they did a really nice job bringing in the Bronco branding and history

Hey thanks Jake! the hill country setting is really great for photos out there. All of these I actually took on my iPhone 11 - the little camera on there is surprisingly good! and think of all the gear I don't have to carry!

Yeah that was really fun for the rest of us, but not as fun for the poor guy stuck on the rocks leaning way over in the full sun while everyone was taking pictures of him. Still it looked pretty awesome

Also confirmed in person - I really like the look of the base headlights with the chrome trim ring and inside floating bar over the signature headlights - these really look sharp and more vintage styled to my eye. That little touch of brightwork pops up there

Yes - I agree, that was my second fave color. Too bad they only offer it in the upper trim levels. In pictures it has more of a green cast to it, but in person in full sun it looked more like a dove grey - the antimatter blue also looks really different in person than pictures

Yes - the Bronco in front of me was a 4 door with manual trans. A few folks traded off to give that a try. Interesting to see how that one performed out there.They used the crawler gear to go up the notch. Seemed like the clutch was a little tight/jumpy and took folks a little bit to get used...
