Tape measurements: ride height & rear legroom of 2 door Badlands (w/ beadlock capable wheels + MT tires)

[fltechpilot]

Could someone get a clear measurement of how much higher that yakima lock and load rack sits than the standard roof rails? Trying to figure out if it will fit in my garage with the yakima. Thanks!

My thought too. However, I plan on ordering the Badlands which come with rock Rails....so I'm wondering how that will work with the drop-down steps.

Yeah, I’d like a comment from Ford about retractable steps on a Badlands with Sasquatch.

For a comparison on the rear leg room, I measured my Tacoma and my wife's Subaru Outback. 2018 Tacoma is 25.5" and the Subaru is 29.5". The Bronco 4-door sits between at 27" at least what I could read in the picture. That is not bad. The Subie is great space in the back. Very tall people can comfortably sit in the Subie rear seat. The Tacoma is ok but the space would start to feel tight on a long trip.

I looked online and most rear leg room dimensions shown are different than a straight measurement like we have here.

Interesting the step in height is the same as my Jeep, but the seat height is 3-1/2” lower

Seats in the Jeep and Bronco are both adjustable for height... so maybe that’s where the difference is coming from?

What comment would you like? There aren't any available from the factory.

The tape measure is helpful. Thanks for doing that. Is the sill height really 27”, not 23”? I can’t read the numbers on the tape but if I count from the end of the tape up it looks like 23. Either way my wife will need a ladder to get in.

AMP Research - They look fairly easy to install as well.

Yes, that is what I was looking for. Thanks.

Yes, those were the upgraded 33" MT tires and not 35".

So the step in height is 27 inches on 33s?
Thats a high sill height.

Great vid.

If only the 4 door wasn't (was it?) $5,000 more than the 2 door base I'm getting, I'd like to get the 4 door; great view in motion .

keep in mind this distance/gap is in stationary position ... most likely its a lot more pronounced during motion on uneven terrain!

is it possible the rock guard was installed too far forward?

you see now? these are the type of kinks that show up with first year models!

Just throw in some positive caster..... with some $2k billet UCA *

For those of us that have issues reading the numbers on the tape measure.....

Some might not have see Post #6 where I added a Readable Dimension......

Yeah, I’m a moron that can’t count or read. Thanks again for doing that.

Looking at the tires they look like 35s according to the tape....
