Some differences in controls

[PlayUltimate]

REALLY wish I could get that 12 inch screen on BD, damn son!

I agree. HIgh Package on a BD would be perfect for a lot of people... MGV plus High... Not everyone wants the extreme rock crawling the BL has to offer... BD is a perfect in the middle rig.

Man and here I am just wishing I could get the mid package on it (they're not offering mid with manual transmission on BD for a reason only God and the rockstars at Ford knows)

I’m the better looking one

I would happily drop the analog speedometer for a bigger screen behind the wheel as a higher trim option if it were to be offered. In fact, this is what I had assumed from the high-level instrument panel.

Ugh, that bezel surround on the 8” display looks so cheap and cheesy! ?

And intentionally so.

That top picture makes me nervous. That looks like crap. So cheap. Yet, that's going to be in vehicles pushing $50k.

Here is a Rubicon dash for comparison. While I'm not a fan of the red, but this looks so much more refined and expensive. Looks like it could be in a luxury vehicle.

I like it.

Meh. I think the Wrangler dash is really busy. They've included the equivalents of the accessory switches, hero switches, HVAC, stereo, AND window control in the same space as the comparatively clean looking dash in the Bronco. You can't adjust your window while the driver is shifting in the manual. The entire touchscreen feels like an afterthought.

Though, because it's Jeep, Alpine has like 3 OEM fit upgrade options available. I doubt Ford is going to have B&O upgrade kits ...

Other than that, while the red portions have a really nice anodized look and feel, the rest of the dash is rugged cheap plastic. Cheap plastic isn't necessarily a bad thing when it's a vehicle that's supposed to be abused but the clean lines of the Broncos cheap plastic dash are much more attractive to me.

Unfortunately, not. This is the "standard" interior package compared to the "mid" package. Check out the interior images with the Build and Price. You can see the difference between what the interior looks like with the standard package and the mid package. Looks like the other difference is the side mirrors. The standard package (when looking from the inside) has the little "blind spot" mirrors within the side mirrors while the mid package does not have these mirrors but instead has the BLIS indicators in the mirrors.

Edit: Actually, the first image posted is the center-stack for the "High" (possibly "LUX" as well) package, not the "Mid". You can tell by the two buttons on each side of the auto-start/stop button... not sure what those are for though - may have something to do w/ the mirror-lights.

I believe this to be the High-Level Instrument Panel (found in Mid Package and above) vs not

not

Looks like my junk drawer...not a fan of the Jeep interiors, and that dash is bad. LOL at the luxury vehicle....

Believe me, I'm as curious to know what the "High-Level" instrument panel includes as anyone here. That Badlands walkthrough on Bronco Nation and the image posted on this thread is all we have, I believe. Unfortunately the build and price appears to represent the same generic image across all trims.

Because I'm leaning automatic, I'd love to see a transmission temp gauge in the instrument cluster but good to know that the BL Bronco Nation video did confirm water temp gauge. Now the question (for me) is if the standard "LCD" panel includes this info. I suppose I can always get a scan gauge to show me this info but would be nice to have all this info integrated onto a single display.

Bizarre how Ford hasn't commented on the difference here between these panels yet.

QUICK!!! Someone tweet the question at Levine. We need more vague and uninformative answers!!!

My in-laws have a new JL with this exact interior. Initially, my reaction was the same as yours, that the JL interior seemed more refined and higher class and “Fancy”.

However, after spending some more time actually driving it and using it, I actually came to the conclusion that I really dislike it for a couple reasons.

1. The design is actually too feminine and dated for me. The roundedness of everything just isn’t my style and actually doesn’t have as much masculinity as I wish it had. Obviously complete opinion and preference....
2. The screen feels like an awkward size. Like they kinda wanted to go big, but kinda didn’t, so they just picked something in the middle. Maybe it’s just that the aspect ratio is too close to square vs. rectangular.
3. They crammed too many things into the center stack. There are A LOT of switches, buttons, and crap going on in that center stack, to the point where I struggled to find the things that I look for. Some of those things are WAY too low on the stack to easily find as the shifter and just the line of sight is too low. Obviously can be cured over time by memorizing where everything is but it’s really just too busy. Bronco has done a nice job of simplifying things, laying things out with enough space, and not difficult to find Or too low. Window switches are a CLEAR example of this. Relocating them to a different area was a good call. They are a PITA in the Jeep IMO. Another good example of breaking switches out of the center stack for Bronco is putting the Hero switches up high. Pretty difficult to find the locker and sway bar disconnect on the Jeep as they are so low, and not a uniform size/shape/appearance.
4. Things are actually pretty cheap. Although the Jeep does appeal visually to the eye initially, as I start pushing/pulling things like that grab handle above the glovebox, or touch the window switches, etc, it definitely creaks and moves like cheap plastic.

Looking at that would get old quick. Looks too cream puff to me. I'm happy with the Hi-level display that will be in my BadLands & prefer the Bronco's dash. YMMV
