For any base owner, what is the most surprising feature or thing about your base model bronco that you didn't expect?

1. I did not expect Sport Mode, and was very excited when I found it.
2. I did not expect Trail Turn Assist, and have used it a few times in the snow and sand and it is a blast..

I bet sport mode is fun. I have it on my F150 and it turns that truck into a freaking rocket ship.

Put black diamond takeoffs on my base. Got the tpms off tire rack for them, and they worked well (tire rack automatically pulls them up for the bronco).

For people looking to upgrade their tires on the base, I would strongly recommend this route. Finding C load tires for 16 inch wheels is a bit of a pain, and you may want to avoid both SL and E rated tires on this vehicle. Also knowing that ford set up this vehicle to handle these specific wheels/tires is a plus.

Super happy with the results so far.

Looks great. Glad to see this. I made an appointment today to get my BD takeoffs put on her on Tuesday.

(PSA MY OPINION) I feel a 2 door base with no options is actually more desirable and expensive than any other trims out there, it feels more like a classic. Almost every Bronco I've seen has been a 4 door, with massive tires and accessories. While I do want larger tires, the steelies are really growing on me, and seems like SAS/OB/BB tires are a dime a dozen. Also 2 more things to add, I thought I wanted the cool auxiliary switches, until I realized how baller the glasses holder felt with the top off 😎 and perhaps it's just me, but the base 2 door 2.7 with these regular wheels is absolutely unnecessarily fast, I have yet to actually go past 70% throttle, and explain how I got a speeding ticket in a brick. Let alone a spirited drive with the additional roof and door weight gone.

Looks great, I have a set of BD steelies sitting in my warehouse waiting for my 2 dr base to arrive.

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!
Just received delivery of my Base 2dr also went cactus grey!

This is going to be my first vehicle with cloth interior and steel wheels, couple questions if anyone with more knowledge can help me out.

- I'm stuck between painting my base steelies gloss black (primer, rattle can, clear coat) vs buying alloy wheels. I've been told steel rusts and I know it's heavier than alloy, but I'd save about $1.5k vs buying new wheels (unless I can find a used alloy set). Worth the weight savings and rust worries to upgrade?

- How can I best protect the cloth from stains such as sweat leaving the gym? Scotchgard has been recommended, but I'm still worried about them smelling after a couple years.
