Okay, I just took some measurements using my laser measure and a 6’ level across the base of the seat where the base and the back meet. In my stock Black Diamond non-Sas, with its adjustable seat height, the range is from 30.5” to 33.3” from the ground.

Googling some Ranger forums, it appears that a Lariat 4x4 has a height of about 33.5”, so if your Bronco seat is adjusted high, it should feel about the same as the Ranger.

However, other factors play into how it actually feels. The Bronco hood is flatter and wider, and the doors may come up higher, but I don’t know about that. Hope this helps…

Tire size would impact this as well. Your BD stock 32’s vs whatever stock on ranger ?

Yep, stock Grabbers (optional wheels, but same size as the steelies), no lift. I assume the Ranger owner was talking stock or he would have specified. You can do more searching on the Ranger. This was just the first one I found…

How do you like the ride height and ride feel ?

I love it, but I’ve owned trucks nonstop since the early 80’s, so it feels pretty natural for me. What are you coming from?

Yeah, it’s going to feel big and tall for a little while, but it’s super easy to drive and you should get used to it in no time…

Can’t wait. It’s a little bigger - wider and taller- but not much, maybe more ride height, rougher ride, and tires are bigger,
