My thoughts (and details) from being at Bronco Super Cel East today

[Spooled]

Bronco nation walkaround video states it is Sasquatch suspension.

It definitely has Sasquatch fender flares. The wheel wells do look stuffed, though.

According to BFG, 35x12.50 are 1/10th inch taller vs. 315/70's.

@Rubisquatch Thank you for taking the time to do a write up. It was nice to hear some thoughts and it did help answer some questions I had!

There's going to be a fridge option? My wife loves the fridge in my Flex, so that box might get ticked...

I really hope they let you factory-spec 33s on OBX, or we'll have to aftermarket it.

Here is a pick I took of the 4 door without the slide out tailgate but had the slide out fridge.

Great write up. Pics are great, but to get how the person feels about the truck just adds to it all.

Only question I have left is, can a stock Big Bend squeeze 35's in there? That would be a game changer if it could, save me the Squatch package. I don't need lockers all around, and I could care less about the bead lock wheels. Build myself the ultimate mall crawler (yeah I said it... Haters gonna hate)

Idk but here is a closer look at the aftermarket wheels (sorry for the shadow of the Sasquatch who took the picture) on the A51 four door as well as a window delete option I’d not seen before. Hopefully the direct and indirect sunlight on the corner of the top gives some indication of color. As the OP said, I also thought the MIC looked great on A51.

I will be there tomorrow and hope I can touch the vinyl seats. Im on the fence about a Sasquatch Big Bend or just throwing 33s on a Black Diamond. I love the look of the vinyl seats but if they feel like vinyl in grandpas 1997 Chevy work truck thats a no go.

If you have a chance to talk with any of the engineers, could you see if there are going to be different tire and wheel packages for the different trims? I'm hopeful for 33's on trims below the Badlands.

That pic makes it look like they at least matched the top to the flares!!!

I'll also be that weirdo and say I kinda like the window "delete" in this set-up!

Somebody needs to nail Ford down on the difference between base - OB suspension height vs Squatch and then Badlands vs Squatch because the story seems to change.

Agree that concept would look great with an extra 1-1/2” to 2” to add room for articulation.

(Edit: )my understanding is Squatch and Badlands no-Squatch are up 1.2” from base - OB. Someone said heavier springs on Squatch. Where has Ford said that? And we’re they saying it over base-OB or over Badlands?

I was just thinking about that also! So if 35's can squeeze under Badlands, 33's should be able to squeeze into BB - OBX? Not convinced on Base.

Great write up by the OP BUT once again no one bothered to asked about the wheel bolt pattern and the Sasquatch wheel offset. Or how about if the 2.7 will have a plactic oil pan on the Bronco?

I have mentioned these questions in other threads but I think members who attend these events just go gaga when they see they see a Bronco in real life and their brains shut off.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

This is great. Along the lines of what we’ve all heard over and over about how great this is in person despite our online grumbles.

I just can’t choose a color!

White no grey no Area 51 no cyber orange

Screw it
Just send me the sheet metal bronco

Wait, I thought it was mostly aluminum? ?

 

[RLW]

To the folks that were there

Did the MIC top match the fenders? Gray appear about the same?

In the photos of the area 51 bronco they appear to match. But my ability to tell different shades of colors can be poor sometimes.

Shit ur right... send me that aluminum no painted bronco and I will figure it out later..
