Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Since this had the B/O it would be great to get a picture of how the sub is situated if you took one. Either way, this is a score. Thanks!
Unfortunately the room they had this Bronco set up in was lit like the Bat Cave. The sub is in the back Passenger side quarter panel.

How did you get an invite to view the bronco?
Was this a media only event?
Do you know if this is something that all reservation holders and customers who placed an order get to attend?
Metro Detroit event but it want be long til dealerships start getting manikin Broncos for reservationists to test drive. https://thinkfordfirstevents.com/registration

How would you compare the driver seat area to the JL in regards to roominess?
So I arrived in a Gladiator and the Bronco definitely has more interior room especially in the width than a JL Wrangler or Gladiator. Overall a roomier interior.

Thanks a ton for the images
also it wont have an accessory rail but a single mounting point?
on this not for sale bronco it only had one single mounting point In the center and looked like there were shallow slots on the far left and right side of the dash that I could see possibly being a point for a Picatinny rail to rest but who knows what the final product will be once FORD gets done vetting out each of these accessories.

Phenomenal pictures dude!!! I haven't seen a look like that since I was escorted out by mall security at Victoria secret for window shopping.

I was literally underneath the rear end of the bronco trying to shoot video when one of the staff members tapped me on the leg and said sir this hour session is over and it’s time for you to leave to make ready for the new group of people showing up

I saw this Bronco today (Wednesday) at another dealership. While I was there a 6’4” 320 lb man and sat in it. He said he was comfortable and it had more room than his Wrangler.

Anyone can attend, you don't have to be a reservation holder. As of right now it is for SE Michigan Ford dealers. But it looks like it will be expanding to other states.
It'd be nice if they do some in Florida.

Those back seats are already looking bad...Ford needs to look at that...shouldn't have that sort of indenture after a few months...

i hope they do, that is one of the ugliest/busiest looking motors with wires and tubes coming off it.

Snug compared to what you are use to possibly? I pulled up in a Jeep Gladiator and the Bronco definitely has more interior room, especially width wise. The snug feeling may come from the performance like seating. They did grip my body more than say a full-size suv or pickup.
Yeah, it was mostly in the seats being more of a racing style. My Mazda doesn’t have that at all and I swim around in the seat.

I thought it felt snug, especially in the seats. I was with a Jeep owner who agreed. We are both smaller guys tho, as you can see below the Bronco is a bit bigger, 2 inches all around would def be comfy and seem bigger for that guy.
Bronco Specs
Front row hip - 55.8
Front row Shoulder - 57.1
Wrangler specs
Front Row Hip - 53.9
Front Row Shoulder - 55.7

It is definitely not as roomy as I expected from the pictures you see.

You're about my height and age...But I'm a little mobility limited, not as much as some, but entry and egress are important points for me. How was it getting in and out? Did you find the seat height to be accessible enough? I cannot pull myself up with my right arm, nor can I jump...So I may have to spend the money on power running boards or a shorter version LOL
