edit/update list at bottom of post. Fair warning, math ahead, and I’m using this post to explain all my reasoning in case any of you want to poke holes in it. Tl;dr. If you blow the differential or axle shafts, it will be by mashing the throttle in low range, in first gear, and on some surface...

It looks like the 210 is roughly 30-50% stronger than the 190 concerning torque rating. Concerning overall strength though, keep in mind that this isn't a solid axle. In a SFA forces from the large tires are translated directly into the tube and the differential. In an IFS setup, those same...

When in doubt, go base model and rock the steelies Atleast that's my opinion, and it's worth about what you paid for it ?

The m210 is an iron unit with a 210mm ring gear, while the m190 is aluminum with a 190mm ring gear. The former is going to be significantly stronger, especially with a locker. here’s the Dana document...

Yeah, it is really nice having the ecoboost in the mountains. My current truck weighs at least 4800 unloaded, and has the first gen 2.7 with a 6 speed, and I can pretty effortlessly pass during any uphill stretch on I-70.

It’s been heavily implied that you only get the m210 with the front locker, so that would mean badlands or Sasquatch package, however I would love to be wrong on that lol.

But it is a lot easier to add power and torque to the 2.3 than it is to swap that front dif... tuning options for the 2.3 are ridiculous (look at what some of the mustang guys are doing), but by not doing the Sasquatch you are stuck with a m190 aluminum front dif.

The tie downs are mounted to the fenders, not the hood, so that wouldn’t work unless you wanted to pull the light bar or hi-lift every time you pop the hood.

my favorite (of those show) is cactus grey (still wish there was a forest green) that being said I will probably end up with either antimatter blue, or black and a vinyl wrap, because basquatch

I can only have 1 vehicle right now realistically (no garage, live in a condo), so it will be my dally driver and my backcountry rig. I’m going with the base model, so sounds like I’ll have to add an aftermarket tow package, but I do occasionally load a small trailer up with firewood and move...

That would make a lot of sense, thanks for adding some clarity!

I know some f-150s have an acc radar sensor in the front bumper, and collision avoidance tech is almost always by the rear view mirror in my (admittedly limited) experience. If you look at the cactus grey white top 4 door demonstrator, it does not seem to have this sensor, further implying it’s...

My understanding, based on this post https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/faqs-ill-attempt-to-answer-with-official-ford-responses.2131/ is that it is a part of the Sasquatch package.

Unfortunately I’m on the base model already ? I’m just worried that by the time I option both a Sasquatch and 2.7 on the base model, I’m going to have $10k plus in options.... (and for the record, I had my profile pic before we knew the Sasquatch package was a thing!)

For arguments sake, let’s say the Sasquatch package comes out really expensive, and to stay in budget you now have to decide between the Sasquatch, and the 2.7, which do you choose and why?

To be honest, I expect it will be more than fine. With the (1st gen) 2.7 in my truck, the biggest thing is getting the rear tires to hookup, so with the better weight distribution of the bronco I suspect it’ll still be pretty quick. plus, my f-150 has a curb weight not too far off the heaviest...

Thanks for the clarification! Can’t believe I missed that in the option list.....

Looks like it will actually weigh about the same as my f-150 crew cab ? that steel cage must be pretty beefy!

ah, thanks! I don’t know why, but I was assuming that was just the 12v (I still need my morning coffee...) we’ve also seen that 12v on top of the dash, which would make sense given the optional accessory rail.

Do we have any idea if the upfitter switches are going to be a standalone option? They aren’t listed as an option for any of the trims on ford’s site, so I’d think they are one of the standalone options @laj.tuxmek mentioned. the other thing I wonder, is the interior specs on the base model...
