Why is the 2 door bad lands the longest 2 door???

Did you feel like you could reach across to the other door while sitting in the driver seat? What did the vinyl feel like? Was it similar to VW leatherette?

Don't think I could have touch the pass side door w/o leaning over; Had lots of VW's and don't care for the pleather; the MGV is unique to me. Like I mentioned similar in a weird but cool way to Subaru XT but Ford MGV seems different and I liked it better.

Great pics and information. Did you see or do you know if the back seats recline or are they fixed in one position ? @sasquatchrox

I asked the same question on one of those Bronco Nation Live Walk Arounds ...no answer, but I hate how you can’t recline the backseat of the wrangler.

Thanks for the great pics and real life pilot report ,if that thing looked that nice just think of the 2dr

I'm surprised that there's no seatback AWM option like the JL Cargo AWM comes with, to cover the carpeted areas.

Fantastic pictures! Glad to see Black Diamond's getting more love with these open houses on Bronco! As a new, soon-to-be off-roader, I couldn't be more pleased with how the Black Diamond is coming and the positive reviews of the MGV. Also appreciate the size comparison's (you being 6' versus the Bronco Sasquatch). I don't know what it was about these particular photos but you can really get a sense of how stocky Bronco is with Sasquatch!

This comes on the heels of what Mr Levine posted on Instagram of a side-by-side of a 2DR and a Ranger. Very interesting to see that comparison plus this for size reference!

4. Engine is the 2.7 - took some pics of the aux switch wiring in the engine bay; can't wait to hook-up some nice aircraft landing lights ;-)

Nice KC reference!

Thanks for the pictures. I can't wait to get my BL.

I currently drive a 2018 mustang gt orange fury and ordered a wildtrak cyber orange. I have done so much research into the colors its unreal. I have never once seen a picture of both colors side by side and how much help that would be I can't even describe. If anybody knows of such a picture existing let me know! It looks good in that last picture

Correct. Outer Banks from the other day was a fancy pants LUX package and I noticed I snapped a pic that clearly shows some padding, see below.

Man, there's no way to pretty up that engine compartment! I'd vote for a cover of some sort....

Wasn't a big deal; it was obvious difference to me from the Outer Banks whereby I just sort of laterally moved into the driver seat. The running board helped a bit but not really needed for me; on the BD Squatch today, definitely can tell the difference. Still, not a big deal but more pronounced to lift myself up a bit. If less than 6', it won't be a big deal, it's your RIG and you will hop in! If Ford makes an accessory step to bolt onto rock rail or other, I think my wife would appreciate but still not a hard requirement in my opinion.

I emailed rockslideengineering.com and they intend to make a step slider for the new bronco that deploys when you open the door. I plan to put this on my Bronco.

You said you are 6' even and it appears the top of your head was nearly aligned with the top of the soft top in the picture. Was that your perspective?

That would make it a few inches shorter than the listed 4-Door Hard Top Sasquatch height listed from the Bronconation table below. Based on their table, the soft top is 0.1 inch taller than the hard top. Who knows what its correct on this table, but I'm hoping the height is close to your 72" for those of us concerned about fitting through the garage door.

Where is the extra 3.6" coming from when comparing the Badlands to the Sasquatch?

From what I have read the Sasquatch HOSS suspension is 10mm taller than the Badlands HOSS suspension. .4"

The 315/17r17's Sasquatch tires are .8" taller than the 285/70r17's Badlands tires.

78.7-73.9= 4.8"

4.8-(.8+.4)= 3.6"

For 1800 dollars I'll get my pants dirty.

I agree their a bit pricey.

That will be awesome and look forward to checking it out.
