Base Model Bronco Thread

no. no towing package, the hitch will look like this:

with the towing package it will prolly be bolted to the frame rails, like:

sorry for the bad drawing, but do you get what i mean?

But I believe that crossmember is fully boxed and attached to the frame rails so it should be as strong as a hitch crossbar with ears bolted to the frame rail

So then what is the Towing Package then if the current hitch is included and rated 3500?

not as big as a hitch with the ears bolted to the frame rail, tho

ford site says TBD

So hopefully there is a chance for a higher rating than 3500!

Usually tow packages include hitch, wiring, maybe improved cooling, certain gear ratios and maybe suspension tweeking. I would bet the 3500 is what any Bronco will tow and once they get it all figured out there will be a tow package including some of these items pushing it to 5000-7500, at least on the 4 door.

That would be outstanding for me. I need to tow around 4000lbs few times a year - track car on trailer. I do know some Jeep owners that tow 4000lbs 3-4 times a year without issues though.

Seeing as how both the 2 and 4 door are listed at the same 3500 towing rating, it's gotta be a temporary placeholder number. I fully expect the numbers to change, I can't imagine them both being the same.

I believe it's the upgraded version of the "HASS" suspension system. I could be wrong though ??‍

I believe the HOSS system is just mainly the reservoir shocks. It's says standard for all models but the Squatch package just has the Bilsteins listed.

Privacy glass issue can be resolved simply by tiningt, correct? I usually go darker than factory tint "privacy" anyway.

Yes I thought of that but I would prefer to not have tint on the defrost glass, assuming it has one.

I currently have a reservation for a base 2dr but after reviewing the trim again I may switch to the big bend because it has the color I want and has auto start. Unless I can somehow get what I want on the base

The four door base also shows No manual trans

after some thinking, i am now 50/50 on whether i should get the black diamond or the base. if i do go base, i would order a 2022:
-2 door
-2.7l
-velocity blue or antimatter blue or OJ white or that dark red (idk i like a lot of colours)
-towing package (if necessary to get a class II hitch)

and i would leave those little 16" pizza cutters on because i think they are funny

i might also get an aftermarket soft top for the weight reduction. you know... i want to see how fast a bronco can really go.

Aftermarket for remote start and heated seats would be a pain in the ass
