Base Model Bronco Thread

[Nickp]

Does the BASE model come standard with power windows and door locks?

Yes. A/C, 8” sync 4 touch screen, power windows, power locks, push button start are all standard

I'm not complaining about how Ford has set up trim levels and options. Just trying to figure out why there's an orange Bronco with an all black grille.

It's extremely possible that it's just a random pre-production vehicle, or a CGI/CGI altered image, so it's not really worth the effort to attempt to read the tea leaves.

I mean it would be a cool feature but I think they would have had a cool startup snippet of that in the reveal, still could be yet to come though.

I think it's kind of funny the base trim seems to be the only one with blacked out letters since that seems to be so popular a la F150 Raptor

Thanks, perfect. I ordered a base. Easy decision. 2 Door Base+S all the way. I've owned 3 jeep wranglers, this is the first Ford.

What about the safety stuff?

Not germane to my purchasing choice, I'll buy a higher trim. I'm just curious.

The aftermarket is going to explode with this thing.

I'm the type of person that wants to replace parts with the best available, and that's not usually from the original vehicle manufacturer. It's part of the hobby of vehicle ownership to me. For instance, I'm sure there will be far superior rock guards offered vs. what Ford will be installing. There are also tire and wheel combos that I'd choose way before the ones that are offered on the Sasquatch (even though the transfer case,suspension, and lockers will probably force my hand with that one).

I have some time to examine the packages, but in the long run I want to spend the least amount on the Bronco and get the essentials, and then have more $ for aftermarket.

The Jimmy Chin Bronco is a base Bronco with the squatch package in orange. So either orange is a base color or its not but that joint is a base. Hunnard.
And all 3 orange Bronco’s pictured below were in the same video. One of the shots it has led lights and silver Bronco grille letters and two of the other shots the orange Bronco has base lights and a base black grille. So they used two different orange Bronco’s in the same video.

Saw a couple of posts indicating that the Base 4 door can’t be had with Manual transmission? I didn’t see that in any of the specs. Can someone confirm?

That doesn't sound accurate. I'm pretty sure it's just you can't get the manual with the 2.7L.

Yeah sign me up for that base samsquanch

Ford Canada's website showed only $1500 different between Base and Big Bend so went with the Big Bend. Heated seats and CarPlay are nice upgrades.

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 am getting the Base model for two reasons:
1. Resale. Once these things get into the market, the extra features generally depreciate more. Getting one of these under $30K means that I can sell it for $17K 4 years later (assuming it devalues like a Jeep). I can handle $13K for 4 years. I cannot handle $50K going down to $25K in 4 years (which would be $25K depreciation).
2. I love the steel wheels. If you are going to really take this thing out and have fun with it, why wouldn't you want wheels that you could beat up and get all scratched? No Sasquatch. Just get the base model as blank canvas and don't be afraid to have fun. A new set of wheels is like shoes. Wear them out and then get new ones. Also gives you room to just do a refresh/upgrade in a couple of years if you want or get summer/winter sets.

The best look I’ve seen of a “base” interior is the Jimmy Chin 2-door commercial. I’m not even sure that it’s the base interior but it has the 8 inch screen. Even then though it only has glimpses and you can’t actually see much of anything.

Just watched it to see for myself. Looks like it has a digital cluster for the driver and an analog speedometer. The rest looks like standard grey/dark grey ford uses for interiors.
