I sure hope those are pre-pro floor liners. Those front ones look like crap from a F&F perspective. I opted out of them (BL + MGV), though I thought they looked good in B&P, figuring I could add them later or go with WeatherTech.

Thanks for the pictures! Just an FYI, you can get heated seats with MGV, comes with the mid package. MGV doesn't come with power seats though.
Phew. Thanks for that. I was thinking I was missing out on that too with MGV.

Went to the Bronco Showcase at Kansas Rocks Recreation Park today. Got access to put my hands on a Bronco for the first time, definitely met my expectations. Both were 4-door, both Badlands non-squach, both had soft tops.

Plenty of room in the front seat, I'm 5'11", had the drivers seat somewhere in the middle. I did fit in the back seat with the front seat all the way back (see in pics).

MPG 1000+ miles was at 15.8. Rep said it was a pre-production model so it could change slightly.

The one thing that surprised me was the marine grade vinyl seats. I opted for the leather trimmed seats (because I had to have heated seats) but the vinyl seats were great. Looked good, had a pleasant texture, all around very nice.

The reps were awesome, answered all of the questions they could. Had a great presentation, took off doors for anyone who wanted to see, folded up the tops,... All around a great experience. My friend had to drag me away.

How was it climbing in and out?
I have a few extra inches in height but lose that advantage due to old man knees!

Nice pics. I have always wondered if the clock with the dash info is the total time the bronco has been on because if we are looking at 25 days, 14 hr, 38 min? If that is true and they only drove 1079 or 1086 miles in all that time then the bronco has be left idling for a pretty long time meaning the 15.8mpg would not be an accurate representation of mpg.
thats 25 hours, 14 minutes, and 38 sec. puts the average speed in the low 40mph range so mixed driving with probably 70+% highway

I just got back from there and the MGV, with top off and sun on it, was not hot at all, to my surprise. It's mid-70s here today, so not too hot, but I was very pleasantly surprised!
I wonder how my MGV seats will feel in the summer (in Mesa, AZ) when it's 119 degrees. I'm sure Ford coated them with some other-worldly treatment to make them nice and cool. Also, I think my 2.7 will get at least 30 mpg in town. ...and I will be faster than the exotics in Scottsdale, and...

Yeah...I'm fully expecting them to get dang hot in the summer. I was just surprised how cool they were sitting in full sun last week. Not at all what I expected to be honest.

You're trolling, right? I don't know why everyone is so hung up on MPG. It will be comparable to a Jeep. I'd expect A stock 4d Badlands to = a Stock 4d Rubicon with the Turbo motor, not the pentastar. My guess is still 19 combined on most trims, 18 combined on SAS. I think the proper gearing for SAS size tires will keep the MPG more competitive than people think. Either way, you aint getting 25 MPG.
I’m not buying a Bronco for gas ⛽ mileage!
If that was my hot button I’d get a Prius!

Why are fuel efficiency and off-road capabilities mutually exclusive? Why is everyone ok with crappy gas mileage??? It makes no sense. Do you like paying more at the pump? We should expect more....

It makes sense that it is a 6,000 lb rolling brick.

the last MPG capture showed 16.2!!! it gets worse and worse every time a picture comes out .... is this gauge not working properly or should we expect these dismal numbers in MPG??!!
If this is running in park, or just tooling around slowly, whether in the city or off road, then that number makes sense. My 6-cyl. Edge gets only about 16 MPG in the city. That stretches up to 24-26 on the highway.

“I opted for the leather trimmed seats (because I had to have heated seats)”

Heated seats are an option with MGV aren’t they?
AFAIK, Heated seats are available on any seat material with Mid and above equipment group.
