Base Model Bronco Thread

[dgorsett]

the base is the entry level, whether you call it a base, an xl, an "s" or whatever. the lowest optioned vehicle is going to be the base model.. the old v6 mustangs used to be called the base model. semantics aside, there is always going to be a base, if thelowest trim level is the eddie bauer, it is the base model.

I went through a fast food drive up once, ordered a small drink, they said they don't have small just medium and large. Same idea, the most basic is base and the smallest is small.

it will probably be like most gas stations... regular (base) mid grade (xlt), and premium (eddie bauer)... or similar... you can call a base anything, but the lowest equipped will always be the base model, whether it is an XL (ford truck) or "s" wrangler.... you will always start from the bottom (base) and move your way up... and yes i said eddie bauer in case ford might be have forgotten green is a color which would look great on these vehicles...

I'm sure they'll always call their lowest trim "base", but the interesting question is what will that mean in terms of price and options. For '21 I feel like base is an absolute steal in these terms relative to any other trims. I played around with B&P a LOT during the wait, and it seems like ordering the base model is like an instant $2-10k discount over similarly optioned higher trims.

I mean, compare the 2-door BD 2.7 Sas to a Base 2.7 Sas. $7k difference! For what? Steel bumper ($825), MGV seats, a few color options, and the privilege of having the option to pay another $1.5k for mid. Are those seats really worth $6k+ relative to cloth? I actually prefer the cloth!

Base will always be around, but I'm not sure if the sweetheart deal will be.

that is why i dropped about a 20% deposit... i will be holding my dealer to my price whatever the model year...

Copy....I'm going 2.3 and 10 speed in the 4 Door Base with Sasquatch. I'm probably not too far, just south of the VOA park. 8/4 is my blend so I'm hoping I'll have her by or before the 15th.

I hope everyone gets there's soon. I'm lucky to have gotten it so early. Barely have had time to play with it yet other than the ride home, but it's pretty damn great.

I just saw a video with an automatic base model non squatch that has trail turn assist and no 4A mode. This is excellent news because it means any bronco will be very capable off road with all terrain tires.

My base just showed up… PDI can’t be done until Tuesday… then 17’s and 33” K02’s go on Wednesday!

Here's a great video of the 2 door base in antimatter blue from a new owner.

I think this looks fantastic! Looks simple and elegant, antimatter blue makes the base look more expensive and the steelies work well with the color combo
