Pics & thoughts of Antimatter Blue Bronco Black Diamond Sasquatch @ Koon's Falls Church Virginia

R11, Thanks for the terrific pictures. I am posting some pictures of the Iconic Silver BL specifically:

1) Ports and connections (USB STD-A and Type-C, and 110V AC). Lower dash, from back seat view and on top of dash. The rear power windows are also shown atop the rear ports.

2) Higher and lower angle view of the 2.3L Ecoboost. Not as complicated once you look down from more of a top view or in person.

People keep saying "well AMB is going to show all the scratches, etc. So we should just get an ugly color to avoid that? Just saying....

I’m saying it’s a great color, but higher maintenance than others.

I went and saw them again today, made sure to sit in that spot. Middle seat is not big enough for me if there are two other adults in the back as well, but I can't say I'm too shocked by that!

Oh wow!!! Thanks for going and doing that. What would you say about 3 kids and two in boosters? Should I cry now and buy a explorer st?

I sat in the middle seat at a Bronco event here in SoCal and my first thought was 'this will be where my 9 year old son sits'. If I had to sit in that seat for an extended length of time, I would not be a happy camper. But luckily I get the front left seat . Suprisingly, the non-middle back seat was quite comfortable and had plenty of legroom. I think you'll be just fine with the two booster seats (already assuming one booster will be in the middle).

Well thanks for the info guys. Yes my 9 year old daughter can sit in the center seat and I’ll have the other two car seats in the normal rear seats. Thanks for all the info

Have been appreciating everyone's intrepid photojournalism, so here are a few more, with some quick thoughts for what they're worth.

1. Bronco people are cool: fellow reservation-order-tire-kickers and the show team alike.
2. Overall, having examined every photo and video like a forensic investigator at this point, I wasn't sure I could want one more than I did, but now I guess I do.
3. I had switched to antimatter blue for a while, but I see purple in it in some light, so I went back to carbonized grey. This AMB Black Diamond looked WAY more blue than a Mustang I see in my neighborhood, so maybe it's really different paint, or just that it was an overcast day yesterday, and these Broncos were under an overhanging roof. These photos show a range of shades in different lighting conditions, even in the same pic in some instances. Towards the beginning it's all natural light, then someone at the dealership turned on the lights under the roof (but I didn't order these pics after the upload jumbled them chronologically). My Nats hat is pretty navy blue for reference, though can show up a little grayish - mostly I included for size reference on the wheel and tire combo.
4. Is Sasquatch overkill? Maybe. After seeing how beastly it looks as a factory production vehicle (and how it really makes the 4 door look...right), am I removing it from my order? Hell no.
5. It was so gloriously easy to get underneath, should have taken better pics, but I didn't want to be on the ground, potentially blocking people from getting in and out of the vehicle for fear of stepping on me!
6. I'm 6'0 ~210, felt comfortable and could easily see myself driving long distance road trip, and the backseat is comfortable a well. (The boring pic of the roofline was an attempt to capture my eye-level for reference.)
7. As much as I agree with some that the 2 door proportions are superior, given my plans to take people west in it, just have to have the interior space. And the 4 door proportions look much better in person, perhaps due to the overall size being tough to gauge in pics.
8. The other model was the manual badlands (very cool as well), but since I am going Sasquatch (base - what a deal), I was focused on this one.

My first truck was a midnight Metallic Blue ‘74 Bronco. I thought I wanted AMB and when I went to the dealer and saw it on an F150, I fell in love with it.

Well done! Thanks for the close ups and the props to help compare size! I rode in a Bronco at Moab, and what surprised me most was the large size of the goat dial. Your pics do a good job at showing things like that.

True, dial is not small. But for reference, my friend's hand, turning it in the pics above, is not large.
