Base Model Bronco Thread

I reach these numbers by adding destination fee, 3% tax, tax title and tags. The Sasquatch requires the 2.7 and the auto trans. If you check the f150- to upgraded the trans and from the 3.3 to the 2.7 is around 2k. This is also assuming the Sasquatch package will be around 5k; making the combined required options to get that package around $7000.

Sasquatch doesn't require the 2.7 just the 10 speed auto IIRC. Anything can change right now, but for those who don't want to add Sasquatch and plan on doing it after, remember to check all that you are getting... Gears, Lockers, stronger Front End, Lift, larger Tires, etc. Maybe you can do if for cheaper, but I would think only if you did all the labor... of course that is not knowing if Sasquatch is going to be 5k or 15k add-on!

Sounds like they're trying to rip you. My dealer said only the first $100 was needed, even after the build/ordering process.

Although I would assume there will be a real deposit required at time of order.

My dealer made it sound like that wasn’t the case. Just the original $100 was needed.

Even if you don’t buy it when it hits the lot, they’ll sell it. They’ll take all the Broncos they can get. They’ll sell it to someone.

That’s basically what the lady from my dealer said to me on the phone.

If I were a dealer, I would want every Bronco buyer to reserve 2-3 Broncos, have them delivered to my dealership, and pick the one they wanted. That way I have two more to sell.

Im usually not a fan of base model steelies but i think painting them black and putting 33s on a white oxford base model would look pretty good!

I'm torn. I'm either going to put some fifteen52/Method wheels or go 90s throwback with some American Racing Outlaws.

My wife is finally getting on board but can't stand the steelies. I just wanted to put 32s on the steelies and upgrade down the line if I need to and I'm not moving up to the big bend just for the wheels that I don't like that much better anyway

Yeah, I hate the Big Bend wheels. I don't think they are any better looking than the steelies. Actually, they are worse.

Can I do 32/33 A/T tires on the 2 door base without any suspension mods? Should I just buy them on my own instead of through Ford? Just to preface, despite driving 26 years I'm a complete off-road noob. I don't foresee ever hitting up hard core terrain, rock crawling, etc. I could see sand/beach, light trails, cross country trips/camping.

Because I've been hung up on the decision of 2 or 4 door, I haven't reserved anything yet. Am I screwed, in that my order is likely to see late into '21 production? Essentially, I'd order 2 door, 7 speed...that's it.

correct about Sasquatch not requiring 2.7.

My plan was to go to 32s. I don't think it should be a problem. Other trims, without suspension changes, ride on 32s.

I would tell you to just put an order in. It's $100 and refundable. You will be able to change your mind before finalizing the build. I don't think anyone knows when your vehicle will be built. There are WAY too many variables; how many people cancel their reservations, how production goes, how far you live from MAP, the configuration mix of orders, etc. Get that order in and be happy!

I've been playing with some photoshop to figure out what I want, this is what I'm thinking as of now: Right now I'm probably not getting the squatch package and I'll just pick up some methods with some 35 nittos on my own. Thinking I'll build some raptor/pre-runner style bumpers and sliders in the first few months as well.

I will say seeing some renders has made picking a color MUCH harder
