Base Model Bronco Thread

Mcuncle, how do you price out adding the 33 inch tires to the base? Size on the 16 inch rims? Thank you, Debbie

5x LT255/85R16 = $1400 these are 32.8" and would appear narrower than in my render.

[Edit] LT285/75R16 would work too.

It might just be possible to go up one more size with a slightly wider tire but it will depend on the width of the steelies and how much clearance there is with stock suspension, so someone would need to try that and report back if they fit.

Fabulous. Thank you, Mcuncle.

I have a VIN and in the VIN tracker, there is still no window sticker, BUT the picture is now showing the Sasquatch Base badge. First time I've seen it. The sticker does NOT appear in the order confirmation page that we're sent to from the email link.

nice. Mine does not. Assumed it would be a bumper difference (as in B&P) but looks like that’s not the case?

Its glitchy still, my build will only show the badge if I add the modular bumper and Sas. Once I remove the bumper but still have Sas its gone.

Just played with it in build & Price. I only see the Sasquatch badge if you get Sasquatch AND the 2.7L engine, which I have.

Right, in B&P it sure seems to be the bumper. (But I am working with a scheduled build image generated by Ford outside of generic B&P system.)

Which blue is that? Looks nice in the image.

I was at a local Ford dealership yesterday evening, checking out colors on other Ford vehicles for reference. Saw Velocity Blue but could not find any Anti-Matter Blue.

It's Velocity Blue, gonna look like this...

First post here.

For those curious to see how 33" all terrain tires would look on the base with the polished steelies then I mocked these up in Photoshop.

I think this looks fantastic, the proportions with 33" tires look just right for the 2 door. The 35" tires are better suited on the 4 door.

I'm surprised Ford don't offer 32" all terrain tires as standard with the base or as an upgrade (gloss black 17" steelies) considering it would provide a little more ground clearance to match that in the base Wrangler.

I dread to think how many hours I've spent on that configurator going back and forth with options. I'm constantly torn between the Base and the Black Diamond, it seems like there's so many options but too many compromises to get the perfect configuration that I'm after.

Decided not to get carried away with all the bells and whistles and to stick with the base and then upgrade to 32"/33" tires later for the minimal off-roading I'll be doing.

Money I save can go to other things since a $7k jump to Black Diamond isn't justified IMO which is the only alternative option I like that doesn't break the bank.

This base configuration comes in at $33,920.

I'm going to put 285/75r16 tires on my 2dr in VB. I thought about staying with the steel wheels but you can get 16" wheels so cheap. The ones I'm looking at are $145 each. I'm going to have 5 new wheels and tires for around $1600-1800.

You could also look at 285/75R16, slightly more choices at that size with A/T Tires, a little smaller but might have less road noise

That's true. However I'd get 17" black steelies from a respected brand if I was going to do that similar to the Black Diamond, more tire choices at 17"

My friend had Toyota install heated seats after the fact on his tundra and said he felt like he could feel the heating element or coil through the cushion... I wonder if that’s common or not

exact size I am going with. May even be a little cheaper and just paint the factory steelies black if I dont like the polished look. Just going to get 5 tires for $1200ish. I think the 33s will look really good on the base.

Have contemplated 295/75/r16 as well. Theyre the same price as the 285s I am looking at and about a 1/2" bigger and slightly wider

I am happy with my base build, but I wish Ford would have tinted the windows! I will be getting mine tinted as soon as I take delivery.
