Base Model Bronco Thread

[Mpatient1]

I was wondering the same about these "Accessory Wheels" in the Base's B&P...... what size they are and what tires are mounted on (if they even come with tires).

Another alternative I'm thinking of is buying a set of these Ranger 17" steelies...... powdercoat them white afterwards. Voila!

Similar to the BD trim. An OG-look but in bigger dimensions than the stock 16's.

for the black machined wheels definitely 18's the Bronco ones I find references that say 18x7.5

Just got to climb around on 2DR Base Squatch in Miamisburg, OH at Interstate Ford. Rapid Red looks good, but I still think Velocity Blue will look better. The 2DR looks huge. 4DR doesn't seem as big. The 35's almost look like normal tires. That MIC top wasn't horrible, but it seemed like there were planks of plastic in the backseat area and behind. Think I'm glad I went with the soft top, even with never owning a convertible before.

I really love the steelies but I hope Ford decides to put 32’s on the Base for 2022

They wouldn't hit the claimed MPG if they did that.

But the Base, Big Bend, and OBX all reportedly have the same MPG...

I am a base order as well, I did change from a 2 door base Sasquatch 2.3 MIC top, door bags, aux switches and keyless entry to a 4 door base Sasquatch 2.7 with soft top, door bags, aux switches and keyless entry May and my reservation got pulled a couple weeks later- July 26th build week was my first week given then got a delay to Aug 9th week. Now yesterday I get an update that I have been assigned an actual build day Aug 13th. My reservation was on October 31st for the $2,000 off Invoice at Granger.

WOW, that’s awesome !

I‘m the exact same day reservation, also in on the GrangeTober deal. And my build is simpler, no SAS, just a manual trans Base with aux switches. I was figuring next year sometime, but maybe a lot sooner based on yours.

Base 4 door here, auto, Velocity blue with aux switches and soft top. I’ll be building as I go. Base as you can get.

So I’m in the Base Bronco Club mine is on the way to the dealership. Any other Base Camp members and what’s you guys plans for the base model. You think we could get led lights? That’s one thing I want besides big wheels.

Do you all think the base base and the base squatch will be the unicorn in the next few years? It was the most affordable. The most "clean slate" version/modular. Pretty much can do whatever you want with it. The other trims are great but the base is practical and has all that most people need. did I mention the most affordable? These Horseys aren't going to get any cheaper. Bonus points if you have a manual maybe? I wanted the 2.7 so no manual for me. oh well. I guess what I'm hoping for is for it to hold its value like the FJ cruiser at least. One can dream right??

I think it will hold its value better than any other model especially the Basesquach. They may end up more rare than the First edition and possibly more desirable (who wants to modify a special edition vehicle). Most off road people want unique rigs.

What distinguishes Bronco from all other vehicles in the USA (besides Wrangler) is that it's a 4x4 with removable top/doors. And you get those features on all Broncos including the base. So yeah, base all the way. The fun and adventure with the vehicle, will be more up to what the owner has in her/him, than the Bronco version.

it is my assumption the base model has an 8.8 inch rear end. considering a base has an open diff, i was wondering if the addition of a limited slip diff would be a good idea. it would be less expensive than a locker and it should improve traction in most off road conditions except perhaps rock crawling... to me it seems like the $300.00 cost is much more reasonable than the $1500.00 is price tag for a locker...

What is the $300 limited slip diff? The base will have traction control (brake actuated) to supply power to a wheel that is slipping, sort of like limited slip.

I think it’s probably a lot better for most people and situations, except hard core wheelin. I would go for it
i think it should have been standard on the Base
