In-Person Closeup Pics of 2-Door Bronco Wildtrak at Ricart Ford + Impressions

[BD1]

I like that the MIC top is a darker gray but I don't understand why Ford can't just make it black MIC to match the fender flares and other black bits.

I still can’t understand why that fan switch is “chrome” and the interior lights are incandescent bulbs...nice rig though.

I had the exact same thought when I saw the incandescent bulbs. I can't believe any car manufacturer is still using them. Otherwise that is a beautiful truck.

Ford's interior designs have really been regressing the last 10-15 years. My 2014 F-150 had 4 different shades of gray on the doors. Some of the decisions are obviously for cost reasons, but a lot of them are just poor design choices with no impact to cost. My 2006 Mercury Mariner had a really nice looking 2-tone design, but the 2-tones in the wildtrak and FE just don't work very well.

So I did a 60 page paper on Ford and the reason for the multi color is because Ford uses recycled materials to cut cost and help the environment. Some stuff is barely noticeable but in your case I guess it was. No excuses for them but at least it’s eco friendly.

I’m 6’4” also, very much a relief to hear that you were not feeling constricted. Great photos, thank you.

Same! Thanks !

I learned to drive on a Ford Aerostar Van. Don't underestimate the amount of fun a group of high schoolers could have in such a vehicle.

Man, didn't those things ride and sit SOOO well!?
Lol I had one back in the day, two tone brown. Reminded me of a 3 Musketeers bar.
(Showing my age here):
In high school our instructor car was a Plymouth Volare. Old and abused, smelled like Dapper Dan, coffee creamer, and vests.
My 1st car was a 1986 Escort 4 dr.
Party machine.
We even made it cooler by taking a flathead screwdriver to the emblem on the back, making it officially the "'Scort".
If only that car could talk...

I've been staring at those pics for 4-hours and I've been erect the entire time.

Anything longer than 4 hours you are supposed to see a doctor though

WT would be the perfect build for my surf addiction- too bad the interior doesn’t work for me.

Hopefully Ford doesn't get In trouble for any patent infringement for the emergency fuel fillers...
Could also be used for secondary emergencies when out on the trails.

sickest color... such a shame its not available for the First Edition.

Or the base model, dernit. I was thinking of throwing on some polished 17" American Racing Bajas and painting the top white.

Leather seats weren't that bad
Liked the red metal coming inside the truck
The blue accents were a little weird looking with the red exterior. After sitting in it a bit they kind of went away and didn't notice them.
Didn't use the steps. They are complete waste.
Seats were comfortable.
Glad I'm getting washout materials. Carpet is going to get DIRTY.
Interior dash/controls look and feel great.

Quick question on seats - were they lazy Boy comfortable or firm and supportive comfortable?

This funnel is for the gas tank. You use it when you are filling it from a jerry can. It has come on every capless fuel filler Ford since they started making them.

Damit, this whole time I thought it was a beer bong

I'm totally in agreement with you on the screen size. It almost appears larger than the F-150's 12-incher. I also really like the red color-matching on the doors.

-SG

Optical illusion - It seems bigger than F-150s because for one thing F-150 is just plain bigger, so with more cabin the screen won't look as big, but they've also designed the other interior elements to be "big" too, which also optically play against screen size.

Vs. Bronco where it's smaller/narrower so the screen takes up a larger percentage of the dash.
