Excellent information @irv0735, thank you so much. One follow-up question please. If you can still ask, can you ask the person to explain how the Bronco feels and rides, in other words ride quality, between 45 and 75 mph. Is it similar to the Ranger or the Explorer?

Huh... Maybe Ford needs to give these reps a day off, bring in a couple backups to lighten the load. No reason to get snippy/short with a customer. Hell, buy them a beer and continue the questions over a couple golden sodas/barley pops!

Every time I see the CG concept pictured, I'm conflicted between a renewal of the love at first sight and pent up anger as I grow to accept that it won't be available. I know people have suggested to wrap/paint, but I'm not committing $48K and not have the build that I want.Here are some photos of a white top from a pre-production model touring Ford manuafactoring partners. (From Facebook)
Seems most motor enthusiast news sites quote Bronco6G.com these days when it comes to Bronco news at some point because they cannot deny the juicy fresh news you read here first.

Can you please inquire about...
Will Ford offer a MIC black hardtop?
Will 37’s + 2ish inch suspension lift be available from Ford Performance?
Thanks man!

The test mules will be in the jersey pine barrens in December

Im trusting Ford less and less now that they wont commit to September for the B&P. So we’re not seeing it this month... thanks.
They've shown some really nice computer rendered interiors. I consider that to be somewhat dishonest.

They did not go into details. sorry. The driver seemed to think a 10mm "spacer" for the spring and you could put 35's on a Badlands no problem.
Correct. He alluded to this walk-through many times. Someone asked about the Navy Pier on FE and if other options would be available and he said, we'll cover all of that in the upcoming walk-through.
Added.
For that, we'll need to set up a gofundme. hahaha but I'm ready!
I'll see what I can find out from him.
I don't know...the marketing firm here to help is super nice and as helpful as they can be, it was really just one fella that I might have caught at the wrong time or something. Doing my best to ask in natural flow of conversation! He seemed very busy with phone calls and emails, so maybe he wasn't planning to answer questions until Saturday and I jumped the gun.

Nice! Might have to plan a last minute wheeling day and drive down
Thank you so much!I was able to talk with a Bronco brand manager and one of the Endurance/Test drivers of the new Bronco (guy that drove Rubicon, Moab, KOH route and more) and gathered a few of the questions that you all had as well as got some general information.
General Information regarding the driving experience:
Brand Manager info:
- Bronco is much more enjoyable to drive from 5-45 mph than a Wrangler. Above 45 mph, a Raptor is better. When a wrangler becomes harsh, the Bronco does not.
- Stabilizer bar disconnect is incredible and functions perfectly. He said when going offroad, he selects the disconnect button and it seamlessly engages/disengages at 25 mph. Even on simple gravel mountain passes, he likes it disconnected and said it lets the vehicle float, where a Wrangler gets unsteady outside of crawling. The Bronco does not.
- GOAT modes change a lot of parameters and work really well and are not intrusive. Throttle map, ABS settings, Stability Control, Traction Control, etc. He wasn't sure of everything, but he described it as this: For a sports car on a track in "track setting", the perfect lap is not affected by the settings, but prevents human error. He told the designers that's what he wants for offroad driving and feels like they executed. He said, "use them".
- Talked about how meticulous they were during testing. He was told to not intentionally damage them, but drive them hard. After each day, they would put them on a lift and inspect for any damage and address... Gave an example of a minor bend in the fuel tank skid plate and the engineers made changes to prevent it.
- Rock sliders are plenty sufficient. Showed pictures after Rubicon of slight bend to the slider. However, he did point out a scrape to the door panel and said the Wrangler Rubicon with them did not have the body damage. It was because of the way the Bronco body still goes out from the slider, where the Jeep is vertical.
- He talked about the fact that the fenders (not just the flares) are easily replaceable (bolt on). He expects SEMA to be insane next year after companies get their hands on the Bronco and how simple it is to swap out parts like that.
- Intake is on passenger side, snorkel has been discussed in meetings as an accessory. He hasn't seen for sure if it will be available from factory, but suspects it will be one of the accessories.
- The trim level badge (Badlands) is final design.
- Cameras for 360 will be the front and rear that we have seen and one in each mirror near the lights that I already showed. There is no re-location consideration for when a winch is installed in front.
- This one will get a lot of heat... The interior is pretty much production as shown. The plastic, the finishes, etc... what you see is pretty much what you will get.
- Rear seat recline or fixed position? He was not sure.
- Additional speakers for premium sound? He was not sure.
- Storage under the rear seat cushion? No, it is flat plastic there.
- 4 down towable, even with upgraded 4 wheel drive auto - Yes.
- Build and Price this fall - he would not commit to September and said there is a lot that goes into it.
- Velocity Blue said to be available at the same time as all of the other colors
- Front license plate mounting? They have accommodations for this that they will be sharing soon. I took some more pictures of the various Bronco bolts that I think a mount could be bolted to.
- Confirmed the seats are Leather in this Bronco
Rock Slider attachments:
Pics to show seat height (33" tire so you can try to determine it):
Airbag size on steering wheel concerned someone:
Seat controls (yes the lever on the side is the height adjustment):
Fender flare connections:
A better overhead control shot (someone was asking about the various lights/indicators/words):
