At the end of the day, the 4 door needs Squatch. You’ll forget about that other stuff.

Does it, though?

Yeeeeeeeessss!

I love those wheels and if I go non-SAS on my Badlands I can get them and my wife won't complain as much trying to get in LOL

It 100% does not. That doesn't mean I'm NOT going to get it on my 2 door, cause I can.

That’s a great looking truck, but those tires look proportionally too small, IMO. Out in the wild look at 4 door Rubis with stock 33s compared to the ones that have 35s put on. One just looks right, one looks too small (same wheelbase as Bronco). All opinion though, get what you like.

Badlands for me here. going 4dr carbonized grey MIC top Lux no squatch 2.7l auto. will add 35 after pick up and smile as drive down road taking it home

If you look at B&P, both WT and BL have 5 hero switches. Shouldn't BL have 1 more then any other trim with the disco?

Badlands with Auto will have 6 Hero switches.

1. Swaybar disconnect
2. Front locker
3. Rear locker
4. Trail turn assist
5. Traction Control
6. Hazard/Caution lights

Awesome, thank you! I guess I've just seen the turn assist missing in the manual concepts.

Not a Bronco, but it is the Badlands.

Is mpg the only trade off ?

You'll lose mpg, top end power, and you will be at a higher rev while highway driving which might be annoying. You'll gain more low end torque and acceleration though.

Posted this elsewhere but I think it’s more fitting here!! I’m so excited to get behind the wheel and other than a few “well that kinda sucks” and I quickly moved on to something else awesome I’m not deterred by B&P at all! I’m excited about the interior and the 33’s to start off with!! I was originally 100% on BD w/ squatch. Not that anyone cares but it’s 8am and just me and my coffee so here’s why I’m going with BL no squatch.
1) Articulation. I want to see how versatile the BL is as designed. Based on the videos of BL w/ 35’s there’s no room for much flex with 35’s and no lift. The stock BL looks very capable from the Moab videos. Plus with the modular bumpers you can get that extra clearance on approach without sacrificing articulation.
2) Packages. I’m sold on the manual and I’m not paying $44k for the Base interior. I’ll go the extra 6k with the BL and get the high package. Really a no brainer for me.
3) I like the orange trim more than the blue. ?
4) Capability! 3 words. Sway bar disconnect. I’m not going to be leaning off the side of a medium sized obstacle on a trail thinking ? man. That disconnect sure would be nice about now. Again, on my builds it’s 6k difference. Less Starbucks, more savings.
5) Aftermarket people! Everyone complaining about all these things Ford isn’t doing from the factory. The options will be ENDLESS as soon as these companies get their hands on some Broncos. Woosahhhhh. It’ll be available. I can always put 35’s on it later. ?

That’s all for now! Going with VB over A51 now, can’t wait to get behind the wheel!

You summed It up best! And with optimism too! ?

Sounds like it'll make it more like a jeep then. No Bueno for my usage

Thanks for the response !

Roof rack (will buy from parts if I can’t order it on BnP - ford most likely doing this because they can’t fit a squatched Bronco with roof rack on their car carriers or the BnP is F‘d up)

Aren’t these DIO, meaning they’ll ship to the dealer separately for installation upon arrival of the vehicle?

I could certainly be wrong, but my understanding is that the factory wouldn’t install such accessories.

Your comments or right on. I couldn’t agree with you more.

Do you loss a lot velocity /acceleration if you do the 4.7 option. I also plan to stay with 33” but not sure if I want the 4.7. I do not mind the MPG a little being higher. Thanks

Both should be better in my opinion.
when gears are higher you have better low end torque. Where you would notice a difference is at high speeds, say 70mph and up you will run at a higher rpm this the lower fuel economy.
but crawling and at start up and lower speed it will really move tires. That’s why they are needed. You will also notice a positive difference going up long step grades truck will pull up the hill better
