I just wanted to create a post to identify which features others do not understand or have further questions about. This is different than "errors/bugs".
I am planning on getting a Base Model and here are mine:
1. Keypad: Are we not getting a key fob (It has been multiple decades since I did not have a key fob in a vehicle)? How do we start the vehicle? Is anyone going to keep their keys in the truck and use the keypad to get back in? Actually could be pretty useful for hiking/biking/canoeing etc. [Maybe a kill switch could be installed for added security].
2. Trailer Package: Not an option for the Base, but the cost for other trims is pretty expensive. Why? Why not just aftermarket? This seems like a DIY mod that is likely 1/2 the price of the option from the factory. Is there a downside here?
3. Aux Switches: Is wiring included? Where do these wires go? What about the back toward the trailer forward toward the battery (to have a dual battery system)? Why are you getting it, if you are?
4. Roof Rails: Is this done at the factory? Does anyone know for sure? I would assume that is better do to so that the dealer/aftermarket does not have to drill holes. Also, how does this work with roof panels removed?
5. Sasquatch v. Base tires: What if I don't lift the Bronco? What about if I get a second set of tires/wheels? Assuming I figure out the "negative offset", how big can they be without rubbing? 33s? Any bigger? I have two set of tires/wheels for my Mustang and I love having a different look every 5 or 7 months (with the winter tires) without actually having to permanently modify anything to my vehicle. Also, the incremental cost of this is only the wheels. The tires technically don't really cost me more, because they will last ~2x as long and I am just buying them in advance. Discount Tire swaps them out for free for me whenever I want. In theory, when it is "big tire season" I could just swap. Then when it is "daily driver season" I could go back to the base tires.
