Compared to the Wildtrak, the Base looks like it skipped leg day...

This is such a tease for us Wildtrakers… those two look like they made by two different companies.
As for the Rapid Red, it could be the dark (or red) horse of the 2021 bronco color race…still on my short list.

This is why you don't skip leg day... LOL.

The problem is the 4 doors and that awful soft top…otherwise the base is glorious. But hey, if you gotta bro-doze to feel cool, jack it up and get some big tires. Whatever.

A lot of hate for the base. Mine is on the way. I do plan to get bigger tires. Y’all said 33s fit? Is that with a lift?
I believe 33s fit the base with no lift.

All joking aside. If you're planning on new wheels then the Base is a great option.
As long as you don't go big on the wheel/tire combo, still have the smaller differential, Ford specs bigger once you get to 32/33" to handle the increased stress I believe.

Here's what you can buy with the difference in price.

Yeah I'm planning 2-door base Bronco, and already bought this car with the amount of money some folks are paying to add lux to the Bronco. For me, car + Bronco = more fun than just Bronco :)

Agree about the base tires though. Same thing on the Wranglers. Tires are too small for the wheel openings - swap to 33" tires (especially on the 4-doors).

Sas, Badlands and maybe one or two other Bronco configs, have an uprated front axle. But I think the stock axles will be fine with 33" tires.

The other issue is the diff gearing. And that's a plus for the base manual - because according to the Ford spec page it comes standard with 4.46 diff gears. That gearing should handle swapping to larger diameter 33" tires without much of a problem, in terms of maintaining engine rpm.

Saw and sat in my first Bronco sighting, a BLUE WILDTRAX, Let me just say this about that... it looks like someone took a bronco, stuck an air compressor into it , and just let her flow... BLOATED. I got BADLANDS with optional wheels inbound and I couldn't be happier with my choice. SASQUATCH is definitely a look that has plenty of lovers. Glad we got choices.
Same here, I was so hooked onto Base (for future mods) but after I saw a WTSquatch and drove it, I have decided that I will be ordering BaseSquatch. Completely blown away with the look. My wife will not have approved if I have ordered a Base without Squatch.
