Our Q&A (and Photos) From the First 2021 Bronco Ride Along Event

[PELS82]

Plenty of room. “Nothing to see here, please move along“. I’m so digging the 2 door, it isn’t funny.

Yeah that looks like a nice amount of leg room. I dont think people will be sleeping in the back of their 2 doors based on that picture but the rear leg room looks fine.

Manual Badlands says 4.7:1. So you can have a manual Squatch. Just add 35's and ditch trail control.

Yes I’m aware of the manual‘s 4.7 drive ratio. The automatic is a 4.46. If you want a 2.7L motor you’re stuck with auto so it’s worth going squatch in order to get the 4.7 final drive ratio.

There’s still a chance!

I mean, c'mon Ford! We need White tops, Beams and an option for a lighter colored interior in our Bronco!

You don't get the high lift or bilsten shocks. I'd do a lift then add some fox after market.

Agreed, there are better options anyway such as Fox or Kings

Just ask my wife! I mean.....

That’s what she said!

To me that answer screams of them scrambling to make it happen. Not sure if they did it for launch and underestimated its appeal or are having some sort of supply chain issue, but I can’t see them leaving the door open like that if it wasn’t going to happen. Comparing that answer to how they handled the one off seat questions, and it seems pretty hopeful.

Whether they are spinning on it now to make it happen because they did not realize how popular it would be, or they are just holding their cards close to their vest and planned these items all along, I will take it. When I see that silver grille, I think it is clutch....er.. dope? Not sure what the right word is as I am a boomer. Come to think of it, cluch and dope were my first two dogs.

So I’ve just read all 18 pages of posts and 3/4 of it was concerned with the size of the cargo space. Is this really a deciding factor on the purchase of this Bronco? I mean, you can fit what you can fit right. I mean I get the rear leg room query but the cargo space.
Anyway, one of the coolest things I got from the Q&A was that when you upgrade for the better bash plate you get rock rails also! Am I the only one excited about that? Or am I the only one that didn’t already know that. Or did I miss read that entirely? ?

Badlands doesn’t come with Bilstens?

Badlands! Wildtrak, & First Ed all come with the bilstein reservoir coil overs. any trim level below that requires Sasquatch to get them from Ford.

Thank you!!! This is helpful and the pics are epic!

That’s what I thought.

So excited about this modular top info! Really wanted those rear windows to come off

It’s just too bad you have to go up to outer banks to get it on the 2 door. (Ford removed the modular body painted 2 door options off the website on all 2 door trims, leaving only the shadow black modular one on outer banks or higher, hopefully this was a mistake and will be corrected, but taking it at face value for now.)

Based on experience with the F150, Raptor and Ranger suspension, I will be looking at Fox and Icon. So, since I'm going Badlands, guess I don't need to do Sasquatch at all.

Could give zero Fs about cargo room, leg room, etc. Its an off-road rig. Not a truck. Its not built for towing or cargo hauling. Does it do off-roading with the best of them? Great, thats what I am buying it for.
