Are those tires 35s? They seem small.

This has to be an OBX squatched. Only model to have painted door handles. Plus when you squatch it you lose the painted fender flares. The interior color matches the leaked images for the BX as well. Plus has the running boards.

The Wildtrak originally listed body color matched door handles. And since it's basically an OBX with a higher level of standard equipment it makes some sense that they'll be standard or available. This isn't the first Wildtrak we've seen body colored handles on.

Is the black button at the leading edge of the door handle for lock/unlock? (with key fob in pocket) If so, the placement is dumb - it should be closer to the righthand side of the handle. I'm sure it's just the "hey, that's an ergonomic shitshow" side of me whimpering....

Yes and no.

It's not a button, it's a touch sensitive "spot" for locking. Unlocking is done on the inside of the handle. I think they moved it to the front because with the touch sensitive spot on the back where you're grabbing, you'd often hit it when trying to unlock using the inner part of the handle (your hand wraps around the handle, covering both the unlock and lock sensors at the same time).

For comparison, here is F-150's handle with the same setup with the sensor in the back of the handle - I have experience with these, and like I said it isn't a button, but you wind up hitting both sensors a lot. So they moved it to the front of Bronco's handle to avoid that. Ford also did the same setup on the 2020 Explorer, but they don't have the black button, it's just a spot on the top of the handle.

OBX has color matched mirror caps if my memory serves

Actual shots of Carbonized Gray plz. I don't think we've seen an actual build in that color.

2003 is calling and they want their keypad back

Otherwise this looks great!

I was initially all in for the Wildtrak but after the initial pre-production version shown with Farley I turned my attention to the Badlands. I’m not a fan of the satin, molded texture of the side mirror pillars right next to the smooth gloss black mirror caps. Black badging and hood graphic are nice but easy to swap or add. Not a fan that you can see the holes or rivets below the doors. Rock rails look to cover those as well. Nothing that isn’t fixable but the appearance bits don’t do it for me as much as I thought and I’d rather get the swaybar disconnect and MGV if prices are similar if configured near the same.

If we know the OBX standard height running board step-up is 16" (per another thread with ruler) can I assume this Bronco's step-up is something like 18"?

So, Wildtrak is just a beefed up OBX? Not feeling this at all. No wonder they’re working on a Warthog.

Keypad delete for me. And the sidesteps do nothing to hide that suspect pinch seam on the rockers. Fortunately at 6'4" they just get in the way.

I wanna see a picture of you eating a chicken salad sandwich in that Bronco right there. That's the footage we're missing!

 

[lobbs611]

That makes it even worse that no pics have slipped out in that color?
