Base Model Bronco Thread

[dgorsett]

Do we have any idea if the upfitter switches are going to be a standalone option? They aren’t listed as an option for any of the trims on ford’s site, so I’d think they are one of the standalone options @laj.tuxmek mentioned.

the other thing I wonder, is the interior specs on the base model list USB ports for the front row, but I don’t see them in those images, inside the center console perhaps?

It looks like there is a little hatch on the vertical piece just in front of the shifter for the USB's. I also see the basic transfer case shifter has 3 positions, I was hoping for a Neutral button, in lieu of the 4A on the upgrade, instead of having to do the little dance to get Neutral

ah, thanks! I don’t know why, but I was assuming that was just the 12v (I still need my morning coffee...)

we’ve also seen that 12v on top of the dash, which would make sense given the optional accessory rail.

Great to see shots of Base interior, looks great. Does anyone know interior color availability? Exterior side profile looks like a bit of a belly dragger, Might have to go Sasquatch or swap out for 33's right away

if the bronco sport is any indicator (i think it is), it's just the one.

Maybe it is just 12v, but it looks big enough for USB also. I have also seen the USB on top of the dash in one photo.

Anyone know if you can run a roof rack with the top off?

The 2-door base is looking better each day....get the 2.7 ecoboost and the Sasquatch package and call it a day! Might be under $35k for all this! Sure you won’t have all the awesome GOAT modes available on the badlands and higher trims but you would have a fast awesome bronco! If they would just offer the mid package on the base! It would be the perfect setup but you could live without the mid package....since android auto and Apple CarPlay are standard and you got a 8 inch sync 4 screen and the lcd instrument panel in front of the steering wheel is the same of all models....man Base is looking better to me each day! I ain’t gonna knock anybody going base...because it might be the best way to go....

I was leaning the same way.

If the actual colors look like these renders (almost green) I'm in for C-gray. Are there other Ford products I can look at to verify actual color

What I saw on the web looks more light gray/silver than gray - green, its on the Stang E

Of course this is CG

I'd like it to be 35k but I am thinking it will be 5-6k for the sasquatch and another 2-3k for the 2.7 and auto...and auxiliary switches, definitely want those. Custom bumper, some BD or Rigid lights to assist the expected anemic ford headlights.

The upfitter switches are a standalone option that will be available on every trim level:

And yes, the USB ports are in the media tray in front of the shifter.

Thanks for the clarification! Can’t believe I missed that in the option list.....

@laj.tuxmek is the tailgate/slide out tray/seat thingy standard on all, or option on all, or only in certain packages.

Sorry if you answered it a gazillion times.

Yes, I believe the roof rack Ford designed for the Bronco stays on when the top comes off. At least the front panel is off in the 2dr pic below. Although it does look like it the back panel might not come off with the roof rack on, looks like it might take some tricky maneuvering for that to happen.

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!

Im getting the base model, 10 speed auto, sasquach package, with roof rack.

I’m definitely going with 2 door base in orange

2D base does not come in Orange.

I'm leaning towards a base 2dr and 7sp manual. I've never owned a 4x4 before. Any idea how capable/incapable the base will be (obviously no hardcore offroad) without Sasquatch package?

Just like anything that’s body on frame, add the right tires and your fine. If you never owned a 4x4 then you definitely don’t need to get the high end with everything and think your invincible.

All of these options - tires, lift, gearing, lockers- they can all be added relatively inexpensively later down the road when you decide you need more.

Base is fine for the majority. Sas package may end up being a good upgrade to many.

 

[thehermdawg10]

My ideal build right now is the base manual, with AUX switches and thats about it. I can add tires later and for the desert driving I'd be doing, I feel like I can do without lockers and the fancy suspension (correct me if I'm wrong though, I'm a 4x4 newbie)

My only hang up is on color, I have 2 red cars right now and I'd like to get the metallic red, or switch it up to antimatter blue or white. I'm normally not picky with color, but since this is the first and probably only car I'll ever order at launch, I wanna do it right. At least I have plenty of time before ordering to figure it out.
