Been a looong nearly 2-year wait since day-1 deposit on 7/13/2020... but I finally took delivery of my base ManSquatch a few weeks ago.... I absolutely love it!!! :love:
I was wondering the same about these "Accessory Wheels" in the Base's B&P...... what size they are and what tires are mounted on (if they even come with tires).
Another alternative I'm thinking of is buying a set of these Ranger 17" steelies...... powdercoat them white afterwards. Voila...
That looks good! I was thinking of doing the same on a Base spec.... basically I'd upgrade the 16" tire size.
However... my concern is since the Base steelies are 16x7, will a 285/75-16 still mount okay on a 7" wide rim?
My basic build to modify/personalize post-delivery.....
Base 2dr manual in AMB... plus AuxSwitches, ModularBumperw/BashPlates, Brush Guard, RoofRailsw/Crossbars, FloorLiners, and KeylessEntrypad = $31,950
For a CG color.... you have to step up to a Big Bend. Cactus Gray isnāt available on a Base Bronco.

I'm in south FL and I can say most (or technically all) of the Ford dealers within this southeastern part all charge markups on hot Fords specifically high-demand or specialty limited production models.... I bought all my (ex and current) Fords out of state: 2015 GT350, 2016 Focus RS, 2017...
One of the major accessories Iām looking forward to is that pair of vented/see through doors we all saw on the orange 2-door reveal..... hopefully they will offer this.
You still donāt get it.... I suggest go watch the Jalopnik vid so you can hopefully grasp a different perspective from a Wrangler owner and his arguments for & against the Broncoās IFS.
Again.... you have to think outside the box. In other words, get out of the rut so to speak. The new Bronco isnāt for narrow-minded consumers. Watch Jalopnikās latest youtube video titled āWhat Jalopnikās Off-Road Experts Think About the 2021 Ford Broncoā and maybe youāll understand better...
Land Cruisers and G-Wagens have IFS..... and theyāre still good enough for crawling. Plus IFS is actually suitable for the new Bronco.... because this is Fordās āoutside the boxā thinking. And yes it can still crawl challenging boulders yet IFS is even better for paved road mannerisms as well...
My take is Ford didnāt want to exactly copy the Jeep Wrangler blueprint.... they went āoutside the boxā so to speak.
IFS for road worthiness and higher speed off road excursions (aka baja-like) therefore this isnāt iust another Wrangler-like boulder crawler.
Ecoboost, diffs, e-lockeds, GOAT...
I chose a 2-door base manual..... no need for a 4-door for me since my ā17 Supercrew Raptor does the passengers/cargo/utility job quite well. As for color, not fully decided yet but I narrowed it down to half the available palette. :geek:
Plus the base is a good foundation to build on &...
I like Jeep Wranglers and Toyota trucks (owned them before)... but the new Bronco is a game changer IMO. Aesthetics, retro-modern design, heritage, manual/ecoboost, topnotch off-road capabilities, features & amenities, unique components, customization possibilities, reasonable base price, and...
I like all kinds of vehicles... but mostly Porsches and Fords... and a Miata :LOL:
Since this site is Ford focused (pun intended, I used to have a Focus RS)... I'm shooting for my little humble trifecta. Adding a 2-door manual Sasquatch to flank my Raptor and and GT350R would make it a nice...
