Base Model Bronco Thread

[jswing]

You're the man!

I'm with ya, the manual would be simply loveable but, I'm old so how long will my knee cooperate?

I want a locker, but supposedly won't be al a carte on the Base and for all it has the Squatch is just too good of value, should help with resale and will keep me from regretting getting rid of my Rubicon.

But, some days I'm totally with you!

Same, my knee is what's keeping me from going manual. Part of me wants a stripped base with no options.

On Big Bend 2dr manual right now but leaning back to Base. B&P will decide for me.

I’m almost 100% on the 4 door Basemansquatch and will wait till late 2021 for mansquatch. My only hesitation is the Blackdiamond gets marine vinyl and washout floors as well as the mid package and some other differences like grill,,etc.

Really want to see the Base seats

Am I the only one getting a 2-door base and no Squatch? lol.
..... base grille
....
2.3L
Manual
2 DOOR
Oxford White
BASE/ BASE/ BASE

No Squatch for me either unless they drop the package price or offer a mini Squatch with 33's and just a rear locker.
I'm fine with the base grille, it's the same one as used on the Black Diamond.
I'm keeping my 2001 XJ for beating against rocks and trees! Want to keep the Bronco nice for a long time, just like my '91 F-150 Nite.

2 door
Antimatter Blue
2.7 adv auto
modular bumper would be cool, but may wait for an aftermarket version.

My main concern with the Base is whether Ford will cheap out on the interior compared to the Big Bend.

Who wants to see some really bad base model renders with poor fotoshopping... Here we go...
So there's the pic on the Ford website of computer generated base, and the completed silver base from the line. I merged them to make what a finished one would really look like, or something close anyway. That and fodder for your laughs at my technical abilities

I was trying to get a realistic pic of the 30 tires and scale. The Ford website makes all the tires beefier than they are.

So, base from website merged with Base from factory assembly line...

I'll undercut most of you .

Base 2dr
2.3 Auto
Aux switches and roof rack
Keep it under 35k

Anything else I'll add down the road

I'm trying to do one better...base 2 door. auto trans privacy windows(3) with the A/Z plan ..for 30+k plus tax..

My main concern with the Base is whether Ford will cheap out on the interior compared to the Big Bend.

The seat cloth will most likely be the same.

Jeep has gotten away with a $5000 upgrade price going from base Sport to Sport S, for the following:
Leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, matte chrome painted interior trim bits, aluminum rims, Air Conditioning.
And you are now allowed to order lots of other options not allowed on the base model.

Ford seems to have taken note, and copied this profit fattening model structure/pricing.

I’ve got three builds in my head and a lot depends on what exterior colors, roof colors and optionare available with the base:

1)Cheap Old Man: Iconic Silver Base 2 door with 2.7 Auto and rear locker Tint the windows and KO2s.
2)Holding on to My Youth: Oxford White Base 2 door 2.7 Auto Sasquatch and black top. Tint the windows, aftermarket bumpers, LED fog lights, LED backup lights and rock slider steps.
3)The Kid in Me: Antimatter Blue/ Race Red/ Velocity Blue 2 door 2.7 Auto Sasquatch and white top. Tint the windows, paint the grill white, white steelies and KO2s.
I’m so undecided. The “Cheap Old Man” will fill my needs. The other two are wants.
I currently do not have my own vehicle, I fly or rent cars for work. Drive the wife’s when we go some where. Actually I guess any one of the Bronco builds are a want not a need.

Kind of a bummer, I'd have given Ford money to get the BD steelies. Guess I'll be searching the forum for someone who doesn't want their black steelies

If not at order then you are 99.9% able to purchase the BD steelies from the service/parts department. Might be able to do it as a dealer installed "option" though. Won't be inexpensive at all though.

EDIT: Good luck getting those 5 extra rims home though. Especially without scuffing the crud out of your new truck.

Originally, I was a manual BD with no packages in velocity blue. Now that mansquatch is happening, I’m seriously considering Base 2dr mansquatch with aux switches. Maybe add modular bumper if priced right.

Figure I can put on Wet Okoles and get better floor mats.

 

[Garbone]

I will just leave this here..

Exactly where im at except add mid to BD. Change my mind every day if not multiple times. When you finally decide please share your whys because I'm making this a lot harder than it really needs to be.

i keep going back and forth between base w/ 2.7 and sasquach and BD w/ 2.7. Don't know what to pick. Leaning towards BD though
