Ford. If you are reading this. Some suggestions before launch

[eBronco]

Since that change wouldn't require any new hardware, I'd believe it is possible. I just wonder if there's a hardware limitation where Ford doesn't want the big Sas tires coupled with the manual's crawl ratio, or if it's a marketing limitation where they want the Sas to have all of the offroad control goodies you only get with the auto.

I can't believe it is a limitation given that you can get a badlands with a manual. Plus, unless they restrict the owner putting on 35's with a manual, it shouldn't matter. Why would they "listen" if it was an engineering problem. They would just say NO, like they did to the manual / 2.7L combo.

Ford if you're listening!!
Please add an optional bigger fuel tank ...

Or at least some real estate for an after market add on tank.

I'm a little disappointed. Looks too much like the front of a Jeep Liberty. Not digging the roundedness of the new model.

I second this. The small size of the gas tank, especially on the 2-door is a big disappointment. I think overall Ford did a great job with the Bronco, but the small gas tank on the 2-dour is a major fail.

Ventilated seats are still a relatively uncommon option, most cars don't have it or only on expensive option levels

Im as sweaty as the next guy, but ventilated seats are a luxury and the bronco ain't that.

We can all debate back and forth what is necessary and what is a luxury. Not having a sweaty taint is a necessity. Having a leather wrapped heated steering wheel and heated mirrors are useless especially for half the country that doesn't experience cold temperatures. The other day, some poster was complaining that there were no rain sensing wipers.

Sorry,
But the leather option,
Aint meant to be hosed out.

 

[2Jeeps&PatriotX1]

maybe it hurts the ability for the car to do fording

How so? Ford who makes the super duty tremor and brags about fording in 33” of water allows me to option the ventilated seats in my build.

Huh? The last 3 vehicle we’ve had all had/have them (‘15 Grand Cherokee limited, ‘18 Grand Cherokee trailhawk & ‘17 F150 lariat supercrew).

then why have a lux package and 2 packages that include a 12” screen, leather, etc? Make it an ala carte option or part of the lux package. If Im spending $60k on a Bronco, I wouldnt call it a stripped down base model.

This^^^ buying the lux package, and I guarantee you it will never see a garden hose. My weangler has drain plugs and in 7 yrs Ive never hosed it out. In fact, I actually permanently sealed them and covered them up. Why? Because I have electronics and under the steering column and switch panels that are not in sealed enclosures.

Lol I just got a response on Twitter for Mansquatch. Been drinking, so I'll just leave this here....

I'll mention I only joined twitter to beg @mike_at_ford for a manual Bronco with Sasquatch. I'm still holding out hope! I test drove the highest trim package Ranger yesterday and know the automatic transmission isn't for me.
I'll build my own if I have to.

 

[Rogues Gambit]

Definitely #1, I want something bold, and to see a real orange, not I'm colorblind yellow-orange

I guess you should broaden your search and you'll see exactly what I said. Ventilated seats are not a common option.

You can spend as much money as you want on a bronco and that won't make it a luxury car. Even real luxury cars don't all offer ventilated seats.

I’ll take that as progress. Next up, 2.7L stick. ?

I wouldnt consider my f150 or grand cherokee a luxury vehicle either, but at least they offer them.
