What do you want for $100k? Ford has some of the highest priced vehicles out there

There HAS to be an issue with the cooled seats feature that impacts the powered seat motors? One can only surmise

You keep ignoring the visual evidence that I provided and continue to believe that there aren't powered seats. If you don't believe the screen capture that I posted to your earlier comment, then watch all the other YT Bronco Filson videos for yourself. Or just go see it in person next week.

There will not be memory seat settings. But the front will be powered with heat/ventilated seats. The rear seats will have heated seats, too.

Hey Beach_Bum, I think you might be feeding the troll????

Not intentionally. But when presented with contrary evidence and they still persist with their unfounded beliefs, it is puzzling.

To be honest, this isn't the thread to discuss features. This was just to let others know of the beginning of the Bronco Filson Road Tour that starts next week which is fairly short notice.

Not sure if I'll stand around listening to some guy upsell a luxury vehicle as something else. At this point we understand how the SUV is, this is just to show off the look which I don't need to be sold on.

I would like to know if there is enough inside clearance to fit 37's without steering into the frame, I doubt it and it isn't a buying decision. I wonder if they'll offer upgrades to match the stance of the raptor or if this is it, they really aren't holding any information back from us.

Like this is legitimately all the vehicle is, a badlands with a drastically upscaled interior and a upgraded engine to the 3.0 EB.

More WildTrak than Badlands I would guess...

Just park it outside hunting or cigar lounges and take orders from people bored of their Grenadier leases in Texas suburbs.

I am anxious to know what the published engine HP / Torque specs are going to be from the 3.0 in it!

Output for the 3.0 was down to 350hp/400tq in the 2017-2020 mkz, so probably 375 ballpark.

And there was a 365hp/380tq in the explorer for a year or so before they got the 400hp output.

So they’ll be able to tune in high torque numbers without the raptor losing the hp crown.

I don't remember the exact numbers but the max power from ford for the 3.0 EB engine was something like 440 hp and 560ft lbs of torque, that is for the hybrid where the electric motor adds 40/60. This engine should be able to take a lot of power, not as much as the 3.5 with its reinforced block. The only real big limitation is their decision to go only direct injection. I'd like to see what this engine could do with bigger turbos and possibly reinforced heads. I don't know what the stress limitation is for the crank and main bearings.

I wouldn't expect more than 400hp and 440 torque from ford, they haven't built an HO of this engine outside the hybrid for the aviator. Still 440 torque on a 4.7 rear diff on semi-heavy 35" tires is overkill.

Sorry i see the powered seats now! Cool.

I would doubt there’s been much thought from Ford about accomodating Filson buyers who might want to put 37s on. And ditto, I’m quite sure they’re not interested in ‘matching the stance’ of the Raptor. Both are considerations that aren’t important to the market demo that they’re going after here, which = lux buyers (who are currently looking at a Rover or Grenadier or Lexus). Those people aren’t interested in upgrades post purchase, they want it all in one shot, drive home, done. What do these buyers want? Drastically upscaled interiors and a potent engine. Done.
