Black Diamond Bronco Thread

[Sergio El Bailador]

What is the possibility of a "Non Squatch" Black Diamond being able to selectively apply the brake on a spinning (or "in the air") front tire....as a substitute for having a locker in the front M190 diff?

Maybe one of the G.O.A.T. modes uses factory "traction control" technology to do this automagically?

I would be very surprised if it didn't.

Does this look like textured vinyl or leather? If this is the marine vinyl, it’s look way nicer than I expected

I wondered the same thing when I saw that pic. It does imply easy to clean marine vinyl.

What are the odds we will be able to have the LED signature ring lighting as an option? That might make the perfect black diamond for me

Agreed! and add the LED tails as well.

BD: 2 door, sasquatch, cyber orange, just placed reservation. Im just so damned excited!!!!!!
One of my dads good friends has a 1966 Early bronco at it was the best vehicle ever to drive in the hills. turns sharper and rides nicer than a wrangler. i hope the new bronco here will be alot more pleasurable to drive than the wranglers.

Question, Just saw a video that stated the Sasquatch package is only available with the 10sp auto?!!!!! i really want it with the 2.3l and 7speed manual to creep around the ranch and not worry about the gas pedal.

Hey!

Reserved a Big Bend on the 18th, 2 days later watched a YouTube video by Overland Bound on specing an Overland ready rig and I instantly regretted the Big Bend, knew I should've gone with a Black Diamond I just couldn't decide between the 2!!! Glad I'll be able to change at order!

I'm going with Sasquatch for sure but can't decide on mid or not...only reason I'd want it is remote start and heated seats(it gets a little chilly up here in the North East!!) depends on price for the package but hoping I can add them on their own!

Was fully set on Area 51 too but then I saw the real life shots of Cactus and now I'm torn haha

First time buying a brand new car and I'm all over the place with the options ?

Cheers

You can change trim level when you place your order without loosing your place in line. You just cannot switch from 2d to 4d.

Blacksquatch 2d in black, murder it out. Hoping for red signature rings around the headlights, winch, snorkel and cargo rails/roof rack with attachment points for hi-lift and rotopax. Hopefully all available from the factiry catalog. I get xplan pricing so fingers crossed I can fit it all in at 45k or under.

I am an old school 80's kid that grew up on AD&D... Would love the red rings to turn the Bronco into a Nightmare. Hsunt the dreams of jeepers...

If money weren't a factor I'd go with Badlands but realistically I'm targeting the BD.

The online configurator will probably answer these for me next month but I'm hoping the 360 camera for parking and trail visibility will be an option, along with the 12" screen and signature LED's.

4 door BD with Sasquatch, 2.7/auto, hardtop, and mid package is what I would like.
I wonder how much those options will be?
$3,500-4 for 2.7/auto
No idea about the Sasquatch package. Hopefully not more than $4,000. That is what ford sales the F250 tremor package for and it seems similar. (actually tremor pkg may include more).
Not a clue what the Mid package and hardtop would be. maybe $2,000 for both?

Was hoping to stay below $50,000.
Those numbers seem like a decent guess?

The Badlands come with 4.70 gears and some type of suspension lift, so that might be your best option to get the manual and then put 35s on it.

I am hoping we will have the option to get the 4.70s on the BD when we build it, but I would guess 35s won't clear without some type of lift.

Black Diamond with Squach pkg, Cactus gray and area 51 options are on the table. white top and white grill on both. Gotta have the light cloth interior! this is what I want however, not sure the light cloth and white grill is going to be an available option with Black Diamond. :/

I've been going over all the different packages daily and it seems the Black diamond may be the way to go, comes standard with the rear locker, skid plates, steel bumpers, overhead aux switches, vinyl seats, rubber floors, etc. I think here in so Cal that's all I'd ever need, I've gotten through some crazy terrain with people who only had rwd trucks, and my Mustang has taken me places it shouldn't have lol. While I want the Sasquatch package, I think it may be overkill considering how most of my driving would be on the streets, but I wonder how capable the Bronco will be without a front locker? Its still 4WD, from what I understand Fords 4WD system can transfer power to any wheel, just can't lock the front axle without the locker?

The only thing that gives me second thoughts is the shocks, I NEED those Bilsteins, my past 2 cars have been base models and I always regretted not getting the good stuff from the factory. I really really hope Ford allows us to add the Bilsteins as a stand alone option, shouldn't have to move up to a Badlands or have to get 35" tires just to get good shocks.

It won't take long for the aftermarket to give you better. Should be fairly simple to swap in new coilovers. I must have the manual, so I figure that's the route I'll go. Just might take 6 months or so after deliveries start.

My dad and I both might be joining y’all. Those vinyl seats look amazing. Might be worth the price of admission

Squatch includes the M210

I had the same question, as the 210 is listed as available but it doesn’t specifically mention it in the Squatch package.....given everything going on with the marketing, I haven’t wanted to assume its included. Thanks.

I think the Black Diamond is the true sweet spot for the options/money. Love it!
