Thank you for the photos and information! I look forward to seeing these rigs when they arrive in Sacramento.
Saw both of these at Kearney Mesa Ford yesterday. They let us sit in the OBX, not the BD.Black Diamond 2.3L Cactus Gray w MGV interior. OBX 2.7L Shadow Black w Lux Roast leather interior.
Fun event, exciting to see in person. Didn't sit in the Black Diamond, but sitting driver's side of the OBX felt a little cramped. I'm 6'1" 180 lbs. and the feel was just a little constrained to me at the shoulders and hips, but I didn't have time to tinker a lot and try to really dial it in. Wish I had some more time. Fired up the 2.7L V6... pretty quiet.
All pics 50mm shots. Pretty cool to see the Cactus in sun & shadow, but I'm still going Carbonized.

BD is the coolest trim. Wish there was a way to get the M210 on it from the factory without Sas.

I caved at the last second and updated my Black Diamond to Sasquatch. Now that I've accepted the cost I'm not going back, but these picks with the steelies look great. I'd love to see a Black Diamond/steelies with the fender flare delete from 4WP on this Bronco. That would be some retro goodness:
These pics are great examples of why I went SAS! I do not like the steelies at all . . . and - FOR ME - the whole look of the SAS really brings a lot to the vehicle, but - again - that's my personal preference. Each to their own and I'll be psyched to see ANY of them on the road (in fact I already get a little excited when I see the Sport!) . . . either way - THANKS for the pics!
I chatted briefly with Sean and his wife (@Ourbroncolife ) at Mossy and thanked them for their videos. They have been a big help to me personally since I'm still a little conflicted about which model I want for MY22. Fortunately I was able to see both of the models that I'm considering in person.
I too noticed the riveting into the sheet metal. I am confident the productions will be quality controlled to higher level.Did anyone else notice the Pre-Production defects on the inside of the rear gate?
The machinery settings for the assembly rivets are over-driving and crushing the rivets too much. The resulting deformation is seen in the surrounding sheet metal/aluminum. I have highlighted examples of properly driven rivets in blue and improper ones in red. Lets hope they get this fine tuned for production.
Already plenty of pics, and much better than mine, but I don't care because I finally get to post a pic of a Bronco! No 2dr or Sasquatch is certainly disappointing..oh well, more to anticipate I guess. I will say that I was surprised that I liked the size of the 4dr, pics online make it seem like a tank, but it's a good size (not too big).

I understand this position for sure, and i still struggle with not squashing our BD, but I'm not going to spend over 4k on something i would in reality be only using for looks. It has the capability i need right out of the box, I'm completely new to off roading. Does it have the looks to add that extra punch or toughness factor, nope. I had to draw the line somewhere and the difference in payment pays for my life insurance premium. I would squach it if i could, but i think it will still be good stock.
Every Bronco will be awesome. For me - the look is worth it but I sure respect the fact that everyone in not like me! Best wishes on your vehicle - I don’t care if it’s a stripped down base or loaded BL - you (YOU) chose, built and paid for it and it’ll be Fn amazing!

I keep returning to this thread and the photos of the CG BD. Knowing that production will get felt wheel well liners, I want to add plastic wheel wells.
Same. Another member posted that he was 6'3" and said the interior felt almost as roomy as his 2017 F150 XLT Sport.
It really really annoys me that the Black Diamond doesn't come with HD front axle. For an off-road trim people will want to put bigger tires but ford says the stock 32''s are the biggest you should put on it. That is honestly the main reason why I've decided to go Base + Sas and then possibly downsize to 33''s. I'd way rather get steel bash plates, bumpers, 7MT, and other BD goodies over a front locker and trail turn assist if it was up to me
