Base Model Bronco Thread

[Garbone]

Getting Base 4 door and plan to keep my eye out for a totaled BD or up and snag a rear axle for $900 in the next few years. No rush.

Are Ranger axles the same? I would almost put money on it they are.

If they offered rear lockers on the base with 32 or 33" tires I would have a difficult decision to make. The way things stand now I'm happy to have the $5800 option to squatch it. Despite some complaints on this forum Ford really offers a flexible build.

Agree. Most of them/us just like to complain like spoiled kids. Deep down the majority of us are just crazy excited to be getting a Bronco someday. I think part of the griping IS because Ford has offered so many options.

My only real tough decision for me would be that if rear lockers were an option on base, I might be tempted to use my July reservation instead of my October Granger deal. That might drive me crazy trying to decide.

Does anyone know what the five G.O.A.T. modes are on the Base? Someone asked me about it and I told them Mountain, Billy, Nanny, Pygmy, and Screaming but I'm pretty sure that's not right.

And other than Rock Crawl, which ones aren't included?

Fainting?

The base without squatch just looks so wimpy now that I've been staring at the more aggressive concepts and trims for so long. I'm also not a fan of those steelies, they just look "lame". If I didn't squatch the base, I'd definitely swap the wheels and tires right after I left the dealership

Disagree. This looks awesome and certainly not wimpy and the cost of this with the roof rack and even the boat itself will thousands less than the lifted version with bigger tires. It will likely be more comfortable to drive on regular roads as well.

True overlanders use smaller wheels/tires that are easy to swap, in steel so they can be pounded or even welded. True overlanders are the opposite of "Chick-Fil-A" Drive Through Mall Hoppers with Chewbacca packages on them.

Base doesnt offer mid package.
No grid lines on base backup camera.
That reference guide is not good. Maybe they fixed it, but you get more accurate info from Ford website. Only package avail with base is Sasquatch

I admit I haven't searched EVERY thread for the word "BLIS", so I'm hoping this isn't a duplicate question. But I did look at a bunch of them...

How hard/expensive is it to add BLIS, forward sensing, and rear sensing/xcollision later? I'm hoping I could just buy them, plug them into the existing wiring harness, and mount them on whatever spots they normally go in.

Or maybe wire them to the upfitter switches if they use a different harness?

Thanks.

I prefer the Taco Bell drive through and will take my poser Basemansquatch for some nacho bellegrande while the “true overlanders” are off the grid killing their own dinner and eating out of the back of their true overlander rigs with small wheels. To each their own?

For the base squad ?

Love it. I would go this route if Sasquatch didn’t have lockers and higher gears.

Might be one of these first real pictures we’ve seen of the base interior. Picture from motorcitymosery on Instagram.

Who is actually putting their money where their mouth is and getting a base model? Count me in! 2-door, base, 7 speed, and sasquatch of course. Going for cactus grey, I am in AZ after all! I will add aux switches if available. Nothing else I really need, I'll go aftermarket!

I'm getting Base 2 door, Red, Sasquatch, V6, upgraded bumper, aux switches, floor mats.

Oh man that looks incredible IMO.

I agree. That's the Black Onyx and Heather Gray they talked about in the video. I fricking love it.

Reminds me of my old 85 Mustangs interior in a goodway. Classic.

I really want the mid interior and think the BD is more value for money than the BB. So I’m on the fence between the base and the BD 2-door
