Q&A and Pics From Bronco Super Celebration West – Day 2 (by irv0735)

Thanks again. A spacer is what I speculated awhile back. Great to hear 35's fit no problem. Not much reason to need a manual Sasquatch if you're getting a Badlands it sounds.

Can you explain your reasoning , Im on the fence about Badlands and wanted to hear your opinion from this statement

It means it has the Sasquatch suspension: Bilsteins less a 9-10mm spacer and a sway bar disconnect along with the M210 diff in front and lockers front and rear.

Thanks!

Edit: but that begs the question... Why not call it Sasquatch Suspension then?!

Here are some photos of a white top from a pre-production model touring Ford manuafactoring partners. (From Facebook)

What's the facebook link to these pictures?

Very nice,i have no complaints about anything.

Would have liked to see the engine bay though

Thanks for all your hard work so you could share this with us

I believe there are some pictures of the bay floating around from people that had special access outside of the public event. With the limb risers attached the hood wouldn't open more than a few inches.

Squatch or standard Badlands? Looks pretty nice regardless....tire size?

 

[High Proof]

Amazing work! I have every question answered or in the queue at this point. Guess I can just relax and enjoy looking at them tomorrow!

The suspension bit is confusing.

I thought in a previous Q&A it was answered that Badlands, Wildtrack, and Sasquatch all have the same core suspension components (with essentially equivalent ride heights)... the difference being a 10mm travel limiter on vehicles equipped with the 35” tires.

Little disappointed about interior. The reveal images were impressive and seems a bit misleading.

 

[Mantis]

Sheeeeesh some of the replies here ?. The Ford rep saying “the interior is pretty much what you’ll get on delivery” is quite obviously referring to the spec, not quality.

Yes, that crushed shoulder on the passenger seat is hideous; if the vehicle I ordered shows up like that, I will refuse delivery. I fully agree that certain elements of this preproduction unit look like trash. BUT the vehicles we order won’t show up like that. I’m enjoying this pre-pro unit for the new info it’s giving us.

They won’t arrive with poorly formed seat foam or HVAC ducts that were hacked up with a dremel.

IMO part of the problem some folks are having is that we are so hungry for information on this awesome machine that we end up parsing every. single. piece of information that comes from Ford, and dissecting every word and it’s meaning. This almost always ends up in disappointment for some because the context of those words gets lost.

TL;DR relax, have a beverage and just give it some time, your 50k bronco isn’t showing up with a sawzall hole in the floor.

Ya got me. Helps to take off the hype hat and chill lol

I'm still confused by the answers as well. I think some of the confusion stems from answers around components and ride height getting mixed together and then you throw in differences in tire size between trims and the poor reps don't know where to start with the original question asked.

I will say the textured plastic looks good but the texture makes it harder to clean then the smooth plastic.

It isn't just that, but the passenger seat's leather looks crushed after only a few outings on the trail. Look at the leather in the Bronco Sport, and the seat leather is tight and firm. Perhaps, being Made in America still has some improvement?

Unfortunately, what you see is probably what you will get. The leather fitment quality is on par with the new Rangers. Lots of complaints about it on the Ranger5G site. My leather seats were loose and saggy after the 1st test drive.

Thanks,just curious how the final production look is.

I think @Aman saw the hood opened with the limb risers at the NYSE?

It seems odd that the fasteners on the seat back are not evenly spaced and the edge is starting to curl.

Not sure if you saw it or not, but the representative told him he should be filming the other way since he would get a raft of crap for filming it in vertical format. He said he knew that and it would only let him do it that way. He even turns the phone to show how it would only go that way.

It drove me nuts to watch it that way. Glad I don't watch FB live videos.
