I've been debating manual 2.3 big bend w/ rear locker vs manual 2.3 badlands with mid package. At the moment, I'm leaning toward the big bend. Not likely I'd ever do rough enough offroading to need the badlands suspension or front locker. And I'm pretty sure I can fit 33s on the big bend pretty...

I wonder if Ford actually consciously builds their vehicles to accommodate taller drivers? I've always fit well in most Fords. Jeeps (Wranglers, in particular) are awful if you're tall (or wide). I wonder if the driver's area head/leg/shoulder room in the Bronco was another intentional...

I'm super into RC crawlers. Mostly been into Axial and Element in recent years - this will totally bring a Traxxas into my "rc garage". And yeah, crawlers are a way different experience than other faster rc cars. I have a sweet crawler course in the woods behind my house - rock garden, swinging...

I've bounced back and forth among trims for a year now. Originally, I was thinking Big Bend since it seemed most practical. Then I was onto Black Diamond for a while. Then I finally convinced myself to just splurge for Badlands and get the "best" one. Now that I've seen the mpg numbers... I...

I saw the Bronco yesterday at Huntersville Ford in North Carolina. They had the velocity blue Big Bend and rapid red Outer Banks that have been touring the southeast. It really is a different experience compared to looking at pics online. They were both four doors, and they were somehow both...

I'd have voted "50/50 mint green & light grey" if it were an option. As is, it seems ever so slightly more-green-than-grey to my eyes (in real life). In pictures, it varies so wildly there's really no way to vote if you haven't seen the color in person. And even then, yes, lighting, sun, shadow...

I don't know my specific place in line (I'm with Stephens), but I was a day 10 (7/23) reservation. So I'm guessing I'm probably like number 999 out of 1000 or something. I can't wait to finally put in my order for a MY25 when my chance finally comes!

I've driven nothing but manuals since I was 19 (40 now). My wife and I currently have five vehicles - all manuals. The "rumor" of Ford building a new Bronco with a 7sp manual was what originally pulled me into being interested in the Bronco. Here I am now counting the days until I can finally...

Ha, I ultimately had to go see in person too. I checked out a CG Ranger in 'real life' over the weekend. The real-life experience did nothing to help me make a decision on whether I actually like CG or not. In sunlight, it's a milky grey with a hint of green - looks great! But in the shade, it's...

Ha, so I'm not the only one! I bought 500 shares when they were around $5 bucks a pop. At the moment, it's far and above the shining star in my portfolio (Amazon and Netflix are doing nothing for me of late...) I'm sure I'll wait it out too long and it'll drop back down to nothing... such is...

I'm in for the 2.3 regardless since I'm getting the manual, but this debate has been on my mind as well. I really wished I could get the 2.7 with a manual because I worried the 2.3 would be underpowered for the weight and heft of a 4-door Badlands. The other day I rode in my coworker's 2021...

I've been all over the place for months. I've obsessively debated 2dr vs 4dr, Black Diamond vs Badlands, Area 51 vs Cactus Gray, Standard package vs Mid package, etc. I have Trello boards, google sheets, folders full of pics and screenshots, chicken scratch on post-its... The other night my...

Ha, I grew up playing hockey and was... a goalie! I never once called myself a "netminder"...

I feel like "Off Roading" is a really broad term. It can mean so many different things to different drivers. For me, there are sort of three sub cultures within the greater Off-Roading hobby/community. At the top end, you have Rock Crawling. I think of that as something almost entirely...

If I could fit in a jeep, I'd have one. (I actually do have an '05 LJ with modified seat brackets). Jeeps are awesome. But they're terrible for tall people. Limited leg room, very narrow hip/shoulder room, and in the JKs and JLs, your head bumps right up against the sport bar which is incredibly...

I'm 6'6" / 340lbs (Sad... I was 240lb when I graduated college 20 years ago. Oy...) Anyway, I can't fit in a Wrangler comfortably, which is one of the main reasons I'm excited about a Bronco. I used to have a Focus ST hatchback and fit in it great. I have no issues with modern Explorers or...

I live on the east coast near Uwharrie. I'm all about having a vehicle capable enough to handle all the trails there. We currently have an '05 Jeep LJ on 32s with no lockers and it can crawl over anything out there I've ever tried. Heck, my pathetic little subaru with 150hp and 28" AT tires can...

Hrrrrm. Haven't read all 46 pages, but I'm assuming my reaction is the same as many others. Either this B&P is broken/missing a lot of combos, or Ford went out of their way to ensure there's no way I can order any combination that I actually want. Ha. No mid package on BD with a manual? No MT...

I think I've come to a similar conclusion. I placed my reservation for a Badlands, but at this point I'm pretty settled on a Black Diamond. I definitely want a manual, so that rules out Sasquatch. For 95% of the offroading I'll ever really do, having just the rear locker and the m190 front-end...

I'm in the Charlotte, NC area. I'll probably go ahead and switch my reservation over. That I-77 stretch up through VA and WV is a really pretty drive. That'll be the perfect first road-trip home in the new Bronco. Thank you for doing this and providing all the clear info to out-of-state buyers.
