Bronco Gets Removable Hoop Step Option From Factory

[djwils17]

I bet this is a whole separate rail from the standard rock rails. These look very similar to the Ranger Tremor sidesteps and mounting rail--not a rock slider.

Yes I'm wondering the same thing that they won't work on the rock rails that come on the Badlands etc... Then again who knows when I may actually get a production date!

Aftermarket options are now adjusting pricing as we speak lol

I got them on my new Ford Ranger plan B truck... they look nice too for a mall crawler.
Seems making parts fit multiple models is going to be a thing now. No complaints.

Avoid these if you off road at all.

They get stuck on EVERYTHING. Very similar to the steps that come on the Tremor package for Ranger. I had to take them off almost immediately.

They are designed to come off easy, just take them off at the trail and toss them in the back

The tube doors for the two door went up 75%

One other thing I am curious about is that they have the same cost if you put them on a 2DR or a 4DR. I wonder if that is a glitch or if the 4DR folks are getting a deal with two extra steps for the same cost.

Same kind of pricing strategy that the Sasquatch Manual Transmission option comes with, that is same price as the Automatic

I just saw those too and was wondering the same thing! I was building my BD again to see how pricing changed, and that was an option. BD’s come with the rock rails, so it would seem to me that they just attach to the rock rails somehow.
I don’t want to go back and change my order, so I’m hoping we could order these aftermarket.

These look like the same hoop steps on my Ranger Tremor Package. They do attach to a rock rail (the Ranger's rail is different so I am guessing the mounting angles on the back are different). They are Line-x coated, VERY strong and durable. Price looks good too.

Here they are on a Ranger Tremor:

If they go on the same way (looks to be the same step), it's not exactly what I consider easy. Still involves laying in the dirt to take them on and off before/after every trip. It helps to use a battery powered socket wrench like the Milwaukee M12.

Also, I'm curious how the backwards compatibility will work as these need to be bolted into the rock sliders, and the existing rock sliders lack those holes.

On my Tremor, the holes for the step created a weak point in the sliders and I actually bent my rockslider fairly bad when I hit a rock without the step installed.

I mean, you guys are grown ups and you can obviously do as you please..I'm just letting you know the perspective as pretty much one of the only guys wheeling a Bronco right now that's also wheeled those exact steps before.

On the Tremor, they bolt in from the bottom with 2 fairly large bolts, so you need holes through the top and bottom of the rockslider to attach the steps.

Saw this in BP today....love the new body guards too! Sending new BP to dealer ... Hoss, side steps....to see if we are allowed to add on existing res order or if it puts you back further>>>said they are taking new item orders for WT after March 7th.

Appreciate the insight!

I kinda have to think so! The AR Stirrups are well over twice the price (for a 4-door) for essentially the same thing. The AR billet cut looks thicker, but Ford's product looks just fine to my eye.

Some market competition is good

@flip - Do you have a part number for these or any additional insights? These look like a great option!
