Base Model Bronco Thread

[BE_]

From what I saw in the ford website, carplay is only available as an option in the big bend trim and up... I'm assuming its part of the Mid-package which unfortunately isn't offered with the Base model.

Base + sasquatch + mid package would've been my ideal build

that ford guy on twitter said carplay is standard, website is mistaken.

I'm not sure. Heard conflicting reports. Some say its on every trim. I hope its available. I'm not familiar enough with Ford's Sync 4, which is included in the Base trim, to know if it has carplay or not. It seems the mid package gets you the Sync 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition. It's not a deal breaker, but I recently just bought Rav4 for my wife which has it and its great to have.

CarPlay and Andriod Auto are standard on all Sync4 vehicles, including the Bronco.

phew, this thread is like a safe haven. Nothing to get worked up about when you want as little as possible in it ?

Yes, Ford SYNC4 has apple carplay and that other one.

That's how BASE folks roll. Just happy to be in the game.

Just placed my reservation for the 2 door. Can't wait.

I love the idea of a base 2dr with squatch....but I’m old and short so against my initial thoughts I’m going Big Bend 2dr with slightly better gearing, factory 32” tires and awesome wheels. Added creature comfort items won’t hurt either. Keeping manual and 2.3. I love Red/white combo (my 75 was red/white) but Cactus Gray and Area 51 have grown on me.

Anyone get clarification if you can get 7sp man on a base 4dr?

It looks like no manual on the base 4 door, atleast by the way they have it on the website. Plus, it also justifies the big price jump from 2 to 4 door models

I’m really hoping I can get my base 2dr in velocity blue with a white top/flares ?

Found these elsewhere, interior is the base model. Figured the Base Thread may want them.

Does the rear glass have defrost?

That would be a yes!

I've had various issues with automatic transmissions. Just had my Jeep TJ auto trans rebuilt. No problems with my manual transmissions. Got over 200,000 miles out of my wife's Geo Storm manual trans - without a clutch change!

I'm not against the auto trans and liked my auto trans CJ7 for off-roading (when it wasn't overheating). Just haven't had good luck with them as the miles piled up. Hopefully Ford offers a strong manual trans in the Bronco. Manual is what I'm leaning towards at the moment - will see once we get to test drive.

I believe they are using the 10R80, the auto on this one will not an issue, bazillion of them in the F150 starting in 2018 and since 2017 start with Raptor. And plenty of room for a tune, with the ability to handle 590 ft lbs of torque.
