VISIBILITY SUCKS

[Fat dog]

My fox body doesn’t have great visibility but I wouldnt dump her because of that. I have fun with her with spacial awareness. You adapt, or get rid of it if it bothers you that much.

Yes - that's right, I was not crazy.
I got into a Bronco with the mirror adjusted in the down position. Which puts it "6 & 1/2" off the dash.
Because the rear view mirror in the New Bronco - IS VERTICALLY ADJUSTABLE!!!!

I will have to agree, it did feel a little H3ish.

What was the measure vertically, from top of dash to where windshield top meets the body? (My TJ measures 12.75".)

Also anyone know the measure horizontally, from lowest point on windshield to front of seat back (maybe with seat slid halfway back and reasonably upright)? And also rake angle of the windshield would be useful. Those two measures will give an idea of how much "tunnel vision" the configuration will provide.

It was from the bottom of the mirror straight down to the dash as gravity pulls.

OP wasn’t far off. Bill measures 6”
But the windshield does have a slant so it’s not as bad as it looks.
while riding I had no issues

Did you notice that the mirror has vertical adjustment?

Yes. This was worst case scenario, mirror all the way down.
so it only gets better from here.

I drove a 2012 FJ Trails Team which had totally decent visiblity out of that windshield. The Bronco can't be any worse than that.

Just sat in 2 at Walnut Creek Ford.

Visibility sucks.
There's maybe 6" between the dash and bottom of the rearview mirror.
Side and back windows feel small too.
Overall feels dark and small inside.

I'm still keeping my order.

If you hate being visible, try being invisible.

I'm 5' tall and I can see out of the Bronco just fine. Calm down.
