Imperial or Metric Bolts

[Raskew]

This may be a stupid question, but do we know if the bolts and other hardware on the Bronco will be in imperial or metric?

I'm trying to put a tool bag together, and only want to carry one or the other.

There will be a mix, mostly 10mm and you'll be missing your 10mm socket.

On my '17 F150, they're metric. Maybe they've changed to SAE, don't know.

Metric only. Ford moved away from SAE years ago.

That's what I thought, but now I'm not sure. Those of you who have crawled under one, can you confirm it's metric?

The bronco tool bag actually comes with a 10mm socket already missing from it.

I'm disappointed they don't have faith in me to lose it anyways

I always have both. It’s not always just your vehicle you are working on.

Auto manufacturers use metric. Aftermarket manufacturers seem to only use SAE

And it's the most annoying crap ever. All SAE aftermarket hardware that gets shipped to me immediately gets tossed for metric hardware.

I find the most hardware from Asia is crap.
