Black Steel Wheels on Completed Bronco Black Diamond

[rapidredbronco2021]

I hate steelies. Hate, hate, hate em. It looks like you have 4 spares on your car.

I did too especially when first seeing the Black Diamond on their site for the first time. They’re growing on me now

Is that the BD rear steel bumper?

that is my question! Should be.

We're as 100% certain as we are that B&P will be available by September.

That being said, Ranger taillights are larger and could fully integrate BLIS within it. However, all the sensors must be in the tail light itself and not behind metal panels.

At this point it's an unknown exactly how they will integrate it. From that standpoint it's easiest to operate from a data point that we do know. Which is that for Ranger the BLIS and non-BLIS taillights are not interchangeable without substantial cost/effort/time.

bearWITHme was asking about this widget bit here.
It's under the lower rear quarter panel covers, on both sides.
Is it a radar sensor, impact, or ?????

My god that gray top is just so bad. It should be called "sun-faded black"

Man, all this talk about how bad the top looks. I could be much worse and they offer it in white.

I would bet that the towing capacity is a metric determined by frame strength. If you look at the ranger specs, it also has a capacity of 3500lbs regardless of engine size. They probably do some tensile and deformation testing on the frame to determine a safe towing capacity with certain confidence. It's all about which component fails first and at what load.

Rangers are good for 7500 if properly equipped soooo the frame is good. It likely 2 reasons. 1 the coil link type rear axle. Leafs are more stable for towing. And 2 it would decimate the Rangers sales. The ranger isnt exactly bronco level hotness, and most people who really need a bed will go f150. The frame is solid and if you address the suspension issues with an assist. Upgrade the hitch to class 3 and get some firestone airbags and you should be able to tow most small trailers within reason. Dont forget a trailer brake kit.

Yes, that’s exactly what I was referring to, thanks for finding a good pic. I think that’s a radar module, but I welcome more informed speculation.

The gray top is actually a genius move by Ford. Everyone hates it so much that they'll be willing to buy the $1900 modular black top . I was already going to get the shadow black top anyway, but that gray top is so ugly...hopefully it's just the abnormal amount of fluorescent lighting in that warehouse.

Anyone else think the image quality makes the car body look like gloss-coated Play-Doh?

The top is carbonized gray. If you pick carbonized gray paint the top the curtains match the drapes.Something like that

I might be mistaken but I don’t think that’s the steel bumper, which is good because I don’t like it.

I need some sort of side angle on this one. Please!
Definitely leaning BD right now. Really don't care how the spare looks...need to see how the 4 that will actually meet the road look.

If I can’t get some credit for the Sasquatch wheels I may forego Squatch pkg entirely, spend that money on the Signature headlights and buy the BFGs and wheels afterwards. Uggh decisions decisions

 

[bbqbronco]

What? I thought it was just faded from sun. Lmao.

Yea give us a black top. What did we get instead...Mansquatch? How long did that take? Suspension and wheels, 5 min tops lol.

Hm it's a toss up of the uggos for me between utilitarian steelies and the OBX ones. Black OBX ones are alright though:

 

[WNC_Bronco]

The led taillights are a must these look terrible.

Are the LED taillights available on the BD or OB

 

[618TRVLWILD]

Any of y'all who are getting a BD and want to sell me your steelies let me know!! For serious I got an idea for them I'd like to execute!! Tires are looking good! But we all know I'm biased! Haha
