Like I said it all depends on the trim you buy. FE, WT, BD, and BL do not come with 3.7 gears standard. Only the base, BB, and OB do. For you to say the Bronco comes standard with it is false as most of the trims available don’t.
You are missing the point of the post
This post is clearly not for you...

If u have fe or wild track you can't not remove sas....
Ok for the BL was not sandard are you right happy.....

Base 3.73 or upgrade sas 4.7
Big bend 3.73 or upgrade sas 4.7
Black diamond 4.46 or upgrade sas 4.7
Outer banks 3.73 or opt. 4.27 or sas 4.7
Badland 4.46 or sas 4.7
Wild track 4.7
FE 4.7

Doesnt Ford Performance sell 5.13s and deeper gears already? Not too big of a deal. Too bad its not a drop out 3rd member like the 9" but its not really hard, just dirty and need necessary equipment. A shop shouldnt cost too too much.

The bronco come standard with 3.7 gear ratio i think .....

Depens the option you choose you will have better ratio for

My Outer Banks has a 4.27 so this is incorrect.

You live in Florida. I'm guessing South Florida. I'm interested in all the rock climbing you plan to do here. :LOL:

I think he has trouble understanding that there are different trims.
Pretty condescending as well.

This are the trim come standard 3.73 gear for the automatic transmission

Base 3.73 or upgrade sas 4.7
Big bend 3.73 or upgrade sas 4.7
Black diamond 4.46 or upgrade sas 4.7
Outer banks 3.73 or opt. 4.27 or sas 4.7
Badland 4.46 or sas 4.7
Wild track 4.7
FE 4.7
Bandlands comes standard with 4.70 gears. Period, end of story. Now, if you get a Badlands with the OPTIONAL automatic transmission without Sasquatch, it forces you into the option bundled 4.46 gearing with the lone exception for the Sasquatch package. Sasquatch allows you to retain the STANDARD 4.70 gears.

Yes the OBX does automatically come with 4.27 WHEN we sect the free cost upgraded auto-engaging AWD. The package includes the rear locker.

But on the trails it is not so much the overall rear drive ratio but tge effective drive ratio in the lowest gears as on technical trails 3rd gear is about the highest anyone will go.

MORE important is the sprung height distance. The distance between top of tire and bottom of body. Unless one raises the body 1.5" all around orodifies fenders the 35" or larger rubber will bottom out

You are right

I forgot to specify the automatic transmission.....

But the sas is not available at the moment for the manual....
Can someone buy this guy a clue?

And even more important is the wheel/tire mass. You can easily select the same optional tires from different manufacturers and see a 10+ pound per tire difference that is not reflective of any increased durability.

I also take offense at the term "mall-crawler" . 22" wheels with spinners and you have a mall crawler. ORV running the highway at speed limited 101 ain't no mall crawler.

Usually gears and associated install kits will run $600. Just a quick search on Ford only showed 4.7 and 4.46 gears. However On the Bronco parts sheets we got on here a long time back 5.13 or .14 and deeper were listed. So eventually. As for shop costs I payed a buddy $100 in beer to show me how on a AMC 20. With lockers in it I could reasonably see that going to $5-600 labor but not at a fancy upfitter shop. Thats like at a shop that also sells used tires and knows your grandma.

Is 4.7 enough to rock 37s on the road and trail someday?
