  1. 285/75/17 inch tires with 2.7 engine- 4.46 or 4.7 gears?

    Were you able to order non-squatch Badlands with 4.7 gearing? Some posts say that's not possible. If so, was their an upcharge? I have an early reservation, but hesitated on ordering, so trying to sneak an order in today. I recently re-geared another vehicle (to be lower), and have been...
  2. Compared to a Defender - some general thoughts and concerns.

    PS I'm not unaware of the historical reliability issues of LR, and totally get that would (and should) permanently cross them of the list for a lot of folks (maybe most). I live not too far from a dealer, and would expect to use a backup vehicle often. It was interesting to hear someone on...
  3. Compared to a Defender - some general thoughts and concerns.

    Drove a new defender yesterday. Very tight / polished driving experience, and plenty of headroom. Main disappointment was that the glass "panoramic sunroof" opened (as in, could put your hand through) only about 8 inches. From the sketchy photos online, it appears the "folding cloth" sunroof...
  4. Bronco vs 2021 F150

    Just went through the build and price for a 2021 F150.... Man, whoever said "I can get exactly what I want" compared to the Bronco was right. Everything but taking the doors and roof off. I'm thankful for all the competition in the truck market-- pretty incredible vehicles.
  5. Anyone look at the New Land Rover Defender ????

    Good on ya for going for it. I'm in the same debate (I need the 5,000#+ towing capacity, so a new Defender would replace my current vehicle *and* be my midlife crisis mobile, rather than being an extra vehicle like the Bronco will be). Please update us here on your experience. Of the 4 LR...
  6. Antimatter Blue vs Velocity Blue vs Lightning Blue on Ford trucks

    That was my reaction, even on the CGI B&P, of VB. I like the AMB color (it's practically the same color of my last 2 SUV's, and is a "formal" color for pulling up to a meeting, etc.), but the lack of contrast to the flares, mirrors, "trail sites," and MIC top make the Bronco look a little...
  7. Soundbar from SEMA Vehicle-- why?

    Interesting question about it being connected to the head-unit directly-- I know with bluetooth there's sometime a lag. It seems to make sense for camping / tailgaiting in any event. I'm hoping for great things out of the B&O or even from the non-B&O stock system. I remember when jeep first...
  8. Soundbar from SEMA Vehicle-- why?

    Saw this mentioned on a couple of places, but didn't want to highjack those threads. If the vehicle has a decent sound system stock (i.e. purpose-built for it ....thinking especially of the B&O), why would you need / want a soundbar? I've bought something similar before ( gift for a friend's...
  9. Interior Options

    No, it's not. My mistake. I posted that when I was a newbie to the build and price webpage and this forum, 8 days and about 20 hours of reading ago...
  10. Texas Swap: Badlands yellow trim & vinyl seats for Black Diamond interior

    I'd like to make the same offer as the OP. I plan on getting the all black MGV BL interior, but prefer the BD MGV blue / lighter seats & grab handles. Dallas area.
  11. Why are you choosing the Bronco over competitors like 4Runner and Wrangler?

    Shocking, but it's the lane keep assist (in a top-off vehicle). If the 2021 Wrangler gets lane-keep, I'll have a tough call. I have a 52 miles round trip commute, mostly on the interstate, on which the '21 bronco will be my daily driver, and based on test-driving an '18 Tahoe with lane keep...
  12. Real life pics of Bronco Black Diamond Interior

    Plus one for this interior on the badlands. My experience trying to swap seats after the fact in my tahoe surprisingly educated me that it's just as difficult if not harder than other components. (to clarify, I mean sourcing the seats-- the install was simple. Hopefully the bronco would be easier)
  13. So the dash is grey now?

    Plus one in favor of grey over black. Hope it stays as an option. (from one of the hot states 'light-interior' camp).
  14. Interior Options

    I asked the Ford Lady this morning (at the switch dealership phone #) to pass up the chain the suggestion "from 20+ people I've heard" to "please add a light interior choice." For those of you more plugged-in than I am, I'd really appreciate it if you could keep sending similar feedback to...
  15. Just confirming no issue with switching dealers

    I called the nice lady at Ford today (in charge of switching), and she said that production order would be based only on reservation number. (which is what I wanted to hear) .... But I know there's a ton of smart people on here who may have more granular intel.
  16. Just confirming no issue with switching dealers

    Ugh-- this is playing into the fear I had. You both sound right. @Brocked I appreciate the reassurance. @Bronc-O , let me know what I should be worried about in terms of allocation or where you go that info.
  17. Just confirming no issue with switching dealers

    I read several pages of the Stephens thread, and also the quote below currently on the Ford website, but before accidentally screwing something up, I just wanted to make sure no one had heard any risks associated with switching my reservation to a different dealer at this late date (Nov 11th...
  18. Will I fit into this new Bronco?! Leg/head room compared to the Ranger on which the Bronco is based?

    Thanks. Looks like for Front head room, it's 41 inches for the 2Dr and 4Dr, which is the same for Jeep Wrangler. Not sure how that's measured.
  19. Will I fit into this new Bronco?! Leg/head room compared to the Ranger on which the Bronco is based?

    If any one has dug up or calculated the "vision line height" or other measure of headroom, I'd appreciate yall sharing here. I'm 6' 1" but have a long torso like some others and have to sit up almost straight vertically, or my bad posture exacerbates some back probs from the Navy. This...
