Honestly, I'm not sure which tier it was. Was more concerned with sound and the sync4 interface. I'm sure the higher version would have better sound, but since we don't have anything else to go off of i took a chance. I can imagine the ranger might be more comparable, but for cabin volume I thought the F150 would work. My dealer didn't have many rangers in their lot, loads of F150's and up.
Don't short-change yourself. That was at least 51¢ or so.
The architecture of the system in your 3-series made doing that easy, not least of which was a standalone amp. I have a number of BMWs where I've swapped all the speakers, the amps, and then added more amps and dedicated subs.
I'm assuming you won't be overlanding. I'd love a kitchen sink.
Lol so maybe $0.52?? I agree with you. While I could save some green, time has a value as well and while I love to tinker on projects, spending a couple grand (i would) to upgrade when I'm doing that already by getting the lux with all the extra goodies (some I could do without) I'm okay with that too.Don't short-change yourself. That was at least 51¢ or so.
Owning an F150 and having previously owned a JK Wrangler, I will say that the F150's acoustics will in no way be comparable to the Bronco's especially with the thin, flimsy, cheap, or whatever other pejorative descriptor people have used who may not realize the type of vehicle they reserved.
The 2017 F150 is much improved compared to the 2010 F150 I had previously.
That said, I am on the fence about the Lux package. The B&O system will sound good, not the best possible sound that money can buy, but the ~$2500 jump also has adaptive cruise control and other things, like you said, which should be considered.
I don't think the B&O is a deal maker for me, because I can--if I carve out the time--upgrade the system myself. I can add USB ports and wireless charging too, but to make those look right may be beyond my natural level of patience.
Get the B&O if you don't want to mess with installing new speakers--responsible for any water damage instead of your warranty--or you don't expect a studio on wheels out of something with a removable top, but want the best sounding stock system. Be honest with yourself about how much time, money, and effort you would really put into upgrading and whether or not you'll be cash poor over it or driving around with the lesser stereo, etc. for months or longer pissed off you didn't get something better from day one.
*not all directed at you, but generalizations... in general
You make a valid point there. Lol. Just get me a Jetboil along with a beer cooler and I’m set.
That's funny, I am adding the Bronco to a garage full of luxury cars and I specifically do NOT want anything too fancy. My ONLY must-have creature comfort is keyless entry and start, GF digging through purse for a key isn't a headache I want to deal with.
That sound bar is just a gigantic bluetooth speaker... I would not count on it to be a method for "enhanced sound."
Yup. Some things I don't bother with upgrading because I know I'll spend a lot more and I don't always have the time/I will be without some convenience for a long time. It's gonna be a coin toss for me unless I hear it in person or extra speaker/amp locations bring extra factory wiring to odd locations.
You’ll be able to hear one version or the other when the dealerships get the service loaners and still have time (maybe) to amend your order.
Oh... there's plenty of time since I underestimated the popularity of the new Bronco. I thought reservations were a silly thing and didn't want an automatic transmission edition, so I will probably be a MY22.
