FWIW, the lever action to raise the seat works well.
Wife at 5'5'' jumped in the Badlands drivers seat and immediately said she couldn't see the road. Showed her how to adjust up and forward with the lever and she said it really changed her view. She was then satisfied with the seat position.

WTF, who cares about a difference in 4 mpg fuel economy... Gas is cheap and remain so. We have a huge infrastructure supporting it and are no longer dependent on foreign resources for oil. (Unlike battery tech, which is 100% dependent on foreign resources)
4 mpg is only about $400/yr. I can...
Respectfully disagree with the OP. Jeep sux at highway speeds. Land Rover is unreliable... and men are banded from buying 4runners....
Having ridden in the Bronco, at highway speeds, you can talk at normal volume levels with passengers in the back as well as front. Its a relatively quiet ride...
Created a post here months ago... like 6 months ago.. that the Bronco is the same size as the older body on frame Ford Explorer (pre-2011 models). Bronco even has the same ground clearance at the Explorer.... I was accosted at the time for that post... No one would accept that.
At any rate...
Rode in a Badlands without the deadening headliner yesterday at SuperCel East. 55 mph, normal conversation levels. Noise is a non-issue with or without the headliner...
Probably should re-title your vid:
"10 Things I Hate... Before I Own A Bronco"
Serious.
As my top 10 list will come "After" owning it and I'm sure you will make a new vid once you get yours and find the real issues you don't like.
The antenna might be a nat's fart compared to issues you...
My ride along is Friday and I'm looking forward to it.
BUT, 100% chance of rain forecast for Saturday. I'd love to see these guys do the ride along route on east coast wet slippery rocks....
A fire by any other name is not a fire.....
The latest issue facing EV makers is that EV fires are fueled by chemicals. Battery chemicals. Fire departments responding roadside are typically not equipped to put out a catastrophic chemical fire of the magnitude of what EVs are experiencing...
I actually got an email yesterday... However, it was not for a build date... instead it was an invite to join Ford at SuperCel East for a Bronco ride-along... I'm w/i a couple hours and gonna make a camping weekend of it in the GSMNP.
Is that Igloo a powered cooler/refrig?
Hope so....
The ice versions (traditional coolers) are like slow water torture on your mind when overlanding. As the ice melts, it sloshes back and forth when overlanding on non-improved type roads... Power coolers are the way to go...
Wondering if the floor liners are the same that are offered in B&P...
Considering deleting some of the accessories I included in my reservation/order...
"August 11, 1965. The day Ford introduced the world to Bronco..."
2021, it returned.
VIN 001 is sold at auction...
FE models spoken for...
Wouldn't it be special to actually take delivery of your Bronco on August 11, 2021
It began as a principal matter of forking out $60k for a sparkling new vehicle with old school manual seats and rubber floors.... Thus, I originally spec'd leather, power seats, and carpet...
But, having watched my dog toss his biscuits (threw up) all over the seats and flooring while on a...
2 door types are still pissed the Ford Explorer Sport didn't work out very well...
All of them wish they had the successful platform of the 4 door.
History will repeat itself...
not sarcasm...
wow. Ford Focus engine and now Ford Focus cargo space... $60k... Starting to rethink this as a viable overlander.... might revert back to a base 2 door just for off-roading local trails... when does the updated 4Runner come out?
CR to Jeep is what the AJC (Atlanta News) was to Richard Jewel....
Personal vendetta and extreme bias... all in the name of selling printed media...
Jeeps are cool. We all love the Bronco, but Jeep is one of us. We are all on the same side. Overlanding and OHV is taking off like gangbusters. We...
