One of the big pains when running in the sand or rock is airing up to head home. With the power options that the Bronco has I'm debating on hard wired, battery connect or plug in.

I found a good video with different options, but I don't know how much of a pain it would be to refill a tank.

Ford is offering an ARB compressor in their accessories catalogue.
Do you have a list of the things they're going to offer? How did you find out ARB Compressor was apart of it?

I heard this would be an option as well, but I'm not sure what the source was. Would love if someone could point to the source here.

I have a Viair 400P works great & unlike a hard mount I can share it with other vehicles.

From the early leaks, an onboard compressor seems to be a factory option. Wonder where it'll be mounted?

edit: Although it could just be that Ford Performance ARB in a case. ?

I have an ARB mounted under the hood on my Jeep JK which runs my ARB lockers and has an air hose fitting. I'm sure companies will offer something similar for the Bronco. I may choose to go the CO2 route on the Bronco, you can get the tank refilled easily, move it to other vehicles as well. Will just wait and see, I can say ARB makes great stuff and has very good customer service.

I definitely want to add onboard air. I have it on my current rig and it is so much nicer than having to pack a compressor. I'm hoping it will be a factory option but I'm sure there's room under the hood o possibly behind rear interior body panels where one could be added.

Looks like that package may have a direct wiring option; hopefully that is the case!

Otherwise the aftermarket will come in.

Edit: aftermarket will have multiple solutions anyways but would be nice if the Ford package has direct wire anyways.

I have co2 and a viair air compressor. You really can’t touch the co2 on speed but we will get a compressor mounted somewhere in the engine bay (hopefully) to save space in the bronco. Probably go with arb.

It looks like there's a good amount of space for a compressor under the hood
