Exactly, just no official word if it is happening for the bronco...yet...lol.

Oh I forgot I am looking at either velocity blue or cactus grey.
Same engine, they'll be out soon enough, just might limit the tq on the manual's if anything

Yeah, it won't take them long once they have an actual Bronco to tune. I'll be interested in adding low end torque.

Couple rambling thoughts here for the 2dr 7mt black diamond I reserved:
  • I would have loved for the rubber floor in the base+sasquatch but the combo with skids, sliders, bumpers, vinyl seats and locker makes it worth it for me .
  • If the Sasquatch upgrade is bananas in cost, the ford 2" lift might be my compensation.
  • General grabber's get great reviews, But I have had great luck and love for Cooper ST Maxx and at3.
  • I hope android auto is standard, Wireless or not doesn't matter to me, I prefer to charge my phone in the car anyway.
  • I pray the 2dr rear seats fold flat with the rear floor.
  • A tune will take care of power, ( 320 horsepower and 355 lb-ft according to Road and track in the ranger). This is still within the 7mt power handling specs.
In Summary I think our choice was the choice for Function>fashion .

Reserved a 4 Dr Black Diamond. Will go with the 2.3, manual, and aluminum wheels. I doubt I'll want to spend what the Sasquatch package will cost. Can you just upgrade a front locker without the rest?

everything I read states you need the package to get factory front locker. That being said I doubt the aftermarket would let a Dana axle go un-touched by torsen LSD or Arb/Lunchbox lockers.

Put down for a black diamond for the vinyl seats. Still deciding between waiting on a new one of these or getting a used 2014 raptor in the same price range. If I chose this I’d go velocity blue with Sasquatch, as long as it’s under $5k or so

Thought I’d get a black diamond thread going for all of us that chose this trim what color is everyone leaning towards I was leaning towards cyber orange but my bro said no way get Area 51 I like Area 51 but can’t make out the color it is it has like a greenish bluish hue to it looks gray in some spots hope the dealers will have color swatches
I plan to order one next year. Four door, cactus, 2.3, MT, midline package. Rear locker and 32’s good enough for me. Wider tires suck on icy/snowy pavement. Will run dedicated winter tires in the snowy season. Probably with the AWD transfer case unless too pricey. Good winter tires >> AWD,

Going with mid trim Black Diamond with 2.7 and Sasquatch package. Figured I could live without Baja mode, which I probably would use and front disconnect (probably never use). Price If upgrades is going to be the real factor for me.
my exact package hope!

I couldn't decide between the Black Diamond and the Badlands.
Really only wanted the Badlands in order to get the 12" screen, suspension

I guess I'll spec out as follows:
-4 door
-2.7
-Mid package
-Area 51, Cactus, Carbon or Iconic
-Probably white hardtop

A la carte wishes:
-12" screen
-Bilstein suspension
-LED headlights

Also, planning on budgeting for a few of the 200+ some odd dealer installed accessories. I'm sure that will add up fast.

Antimatter blue for sure! My wife wasn’t happy I reserved one, but not too long after I showed her (her favorite color) and she smiled, so that’s the color, happy wife, happy life!!

Ordered the Black Diamond- Area 51 for color choice and the Sasquatch upgrade for sure. Wife wanted the Outer banks and the only one we could agree on is the Badlands. I have a feeling I might be changing to the badlands.... But I like all the standard stuff on the Black Diamond
