Base Model Bronco Thread

[bronco2drga]

2 Door base, 7 speed manual, silver. Reserved 7/15/20, converted reservation 2/9/20. I have a signed build sheet from the dealer for $31,470, but I need to figure out how they will remove the sound deadening headliner cost of $495 since they sent the email saying they were included ( I assume for the base too?). The build sheet from the dealer says not an invoice.... curious to see what they try to mark up. I keep reading that everyone has agreed prices, but when I asked they said they wouldn't know till later (they have been very disorganized)

• Splash Guards - Front
• Hard Top Sound Deadening Headliner
• Storage Bag - Front Row Top Panels (for On-Vehicle Storage)
• Hard Top, Molded-in-Color (MIC)
• Keyless-Entry Keypad
• Auxiliary Switches with Pre-Run Accessory Wires located in Overhead Console with Front Map Lights
• Floor Liners, Front and Rear
• Paint Protection Film

Converted to a soft top today. I didn’t care for the look of the big bend with a soft top so I went down to the 2.7 base squatch. Hopefully I’ll see it soon.

base camp!

Base with SAS and Aux Switches = the Best Buy with Full Capabilities. (2.7 & MIC if you want)

The SAS isn't about the tires or even the shocks, Its the best way to get the better 4A transfer case which includes the heavy duty front diff, front and rear lockers, Trail Cont/One pedal.
You can't get all that without SAS on Base or BB.

You can get to 4A with the goodies on BD and up without SAS, but it costs even more and you don't get the Tires and Shocks.

I may replace the SAS Bilsteins with lifted aftermarket shocks... but I can sell the stocks off and prob cover half the upgrade price.
The only other thing I will add later is aftermarket bumper and full plates, but that will be cheaper/better than stock in a year or so.

.....but automatic only option. Poor decision by Ford.

But the BD is only 1k more, which has the much better interior trim and the extra goat modes when you compare everything with the two its a close call but I think the BD sneaks ahead as the better value and better all round vehicle.

I still think the base non squatch is the way to go for the money, especially if just going off road a few times a year at most. To most I imagine its all about the fun factor taking the roof off and cruising round the coast or the countryside with a bit of camping thrown in and not caring about the interior, you can do all that with the base and some upgraded AT tires

It all depends on what you want out of it of course. : )

If you don't want the advanced "4x4" options, than a non-sas base makes a fine beach cruiser at 35,340 + Rims and 33' Tires approx 2000 = 37,340 (add a level lift for 500 more 37,840)

My example was talking about 4dr AT with "Full Off Road Capabilities" (Adv 4wd/HD Front axle/Front Locker/Rear Locker/One Pedal which requires AT)

The Cheapest in a Base is with SAS and AT at 41,130
The Comparable BigBend with SAS and AT is 45,405 (adds Leather Steering and shifter, tint)
The Comparable Black Diamond with SAS and AT is 47,570 (Adds Bumpers,Plates,MGV,etc)
The Cheapest in a Black Diamond Non-SAS and AT is 43,075 (without 4.7 gears, Bilstiens, Rims, 35" Tires)

You just can't beat the 4x4 value of the BaseSquatch.

Hey all when did B&P change? I can now add wheels to the base package???or had I just given up on the Bronco and not noticed this along time ago

Good call, there is a lot of new build and price stuff I didn't notice before. Although I can't find those black wheels for the base...

 

[Cali Gaucho]

Checked just now, and no new wheel options.

EDIT: I stand corrected, there is a Rim set at the very bottom under accessories.
It's an expensive rim and not great looking tho. : (

 

[Bronc-itis]

Basesquatch is definitely the best option. To be fair, I couldn’t afford any of the higher trims. Especially since squatch, 2.7, and auto were deal breakers for me.

Look under the wheels section at the bottom.

They have had these accessories available for quite some time, they just didn't get round to integrating it within the Build Your Bronco Feature.

All the accessories can be found here: https://accessories.ford.com/vehicles/bronco/2021.html

I think Ford have deliberately left a few out because you could actually build your Base model to look a lot like the other models but much more cheaply.

For example you can buy Rock Rails or Step Bars for your base for $595 but they don't include it as an option in the Build Your Bronco page.

I wish they offered wireless charging and wireless Apple Carplay/ Android Auto as a single option upgrade for any model

Wireless Apple/Android Play is available as Standard, on all trims, including the Base .
