Camping in a Bronco 4 Door + Measurements for Rear Sleeping Area

[Fatdaddy]

Perhaps, have we got any actual pictures of the dash in real life or just going off the B&P? I'm liking how the seats look, perhaps the dash isn't so bad.

Yea, to have the ability to either sleep inside or to use a clamshell type rooftop tent is a big plus for those that wander while exploring. It takes time to get an approved camping spot, find the location, assemble the tent, and then be stuck to that geographical area without having to double back and move again. Having the ability to pull over at a rest stop or anywhere along the trail and be set up to rest a few hours or to sleep in just a few minutes is nice. Close the clamshell up and continue exploring.

Thanks! Maybe it's just me, doesn't look too bad, particularly against the silver of the dash. I just think that navy pier is going to look pretty cheap after a while.

Well this most likely solidifies the 4dr for me. At 6’4” I can sleep inside on the occasional time I would want to. Also I can fit 6ft boards easily in the back for my DIY woodworking. And the few times I need 8ft boards I can slide them between the front seats. Can’t do either of those in the 2dr.

I expect the hoses and wires to be loose and dangling on the roof section, not the vehicle.

I get your point.
is there a technical constraint (or legal/regulatory?) we don’t see there as they are doing it the same way as Jeep has been doing it?

What red is that?

Do the wires dangle or are they secured into a dummy socket?
Have you ever seen a Wrangler? That’s dangling!

But what do you expect? If you can connect/disconnect defroster and wiper to remove the top there must be hose and wires... otherwise Bronco Sport or Explorer will have neatly enclosed wires ??‍

i think this is good news that the vehicles might be preplumbed to accept the hardtop at the factory.

i'm also assuming those are dummy caps to be used when the hard top is not installed.

i'm thinking of just getting the soft top and waiting for the painted (white) mod top and was worried that if ordered soft top only, ford would minimize the build without provision for the sprayer et al.

Yeah, 2 people ain't sleeping in the back of that thing. May be able to get some other stuff taken care of, but sleep isn't going to happen. Look at her legs, they're stretched out past the end of the vehicle. Probably took 10 minutes to get him so his feet didn't hang off the end of the tray. As idyllic as it looks to camp in the back of an open vehicle, in many places, it's just not realistic to think you can.

Rapid Red.

Thank you for sharing!
When that slide-out becomes available I think even the Squatch could get a good night sleep.

Have a Great Friday/Weekend!

I want to see a person in there with the tailgate closed

Makes that slide-out tailgate more necessary—whenever it becomes available...

Very valid point. I have done it on a couple of occasions in the back of my trailblazer, but guess what else you have when you go camping or to the great outdoors? A bunch of stuff! Cooler, gear, etc all of which needs to be moved out of the way, or likely is taking up all your space. Hence why a tent in my opinion is best.

I've never slept in a car before and I hope to never have to.

If they added that tailgate to the two door I would snatch it up immediately.

I'm pretty sure one of the overhead pics shows that guy sleeping with the tailgate closed.
