Don't start with the hate. 2 reservation holder. Our flipper Bronco was a 2.7L, BL, 33" tires, mid package, tow. The keeper Bronco was SAS, BL, Sas, Lux, tow, leather. After spending 2,800 miles in the Flipper Brondo the 1st thing you notice is the stance. Second is how different they drive and sound. The upgraded speakers are a vast improvement over the base. We like the larger touchscreen over the smaller one the other interesting thing is the Apple carplay connects via Bluetooth where the smaller one needs connected with a cord. We actually like the marine grade vinyl over the leather but prefer the power seats, still no memory button. Mid is so much easier to clean than the carpet floor, sand and dog hair. In short here is what Iād do if I had the opportunity to build another Bronco, not all options available from factory.
upgraded sound system
larger touch screen
rubber floors
power seats
marine vinyl seats
hood insulation
SAS suspension
adaptive cruise
save my money from buying LUX
We made the mistake of stopping at a local hardware store and we drew a crowd that lasted over 2hrs comparing the two side by side.
Interesting measurements
Floor to bottom of front fender - 1" differance
Flipper Bronco non SAS 37.5
Keeper Bronco SAS 38.5
Floor to bottom of rear fender - 1.5" differance
FB 38.75
KB 40.25
Floor to bottom of hitch - 1" differance
FB 18
KB 19
Floor to front tow hook center of hole - 3/4"
FB 24.5
KB 25.75
Centerline of hubs to bottom of flare
Front 3/4" differance
Rear 1/2" differance
Driving the SAS seems more composed over bumps, and Lux package makes it sound quieter. Well the DB meter tells a different story the DB level is the same 77. You definitely hear less tire noise with the SAS. The hood insulation definitely makes a huge differance with engine noise (turbo) on the Lux, carpet helps too. First pic is Lux, SAS, BL second is Mid, BL. Hope they post in the order I loaded them.
