Thanks for taking the time to do this and show us exactly what I needed to know.
I have a Base 2-Door on order since March, have already ordered my Ultra 17x9 +25 rims and hub adapters. I was waiting for confirmation before getting my tires, either the 275/70R17 or 285/70R17. I know I can go...
You will stick out just shy of 1" more and have just shy of 1" more interior clearance.
I should clarify. The center of your tire/rim will move farther away from the hub by the offset difference.
Use the link below, it’s a great tool.

The only place an after market tank can be added is on the passenger side. ( There just aren’t any options) This means the drive shaft has to be crossed.
Thus the tank would have to include:
1) It’s own fill tube and an additional transfer pump.
or
2) A tank molded so as to...
I think after market fuel tanks are only a dream. NHTSA testing and liability are draw backs.
Yes there will be jerry cans and spare tire tanks but noting that will use the OEM fill and not at least require some form of manually pumping the fuel.
I have designed fuel tanks for some ADA...
Maybe I'm nuts but I'm a semi-retired engineer waiting on my Bronco with a lot of time to kill.
My wife and I would love to drive the Bronco to Alaska to see a buddy of mine that lives in Sitka.
So I've been working on an auxiliary tank for the Bronco. I've measured and crawled around one my...
Yes you can. This is one of the questions I had at the show and tell my dealer had with the Ford Bronco Group.
I even brought my thumb drive and listened to it on a Badlands Demo model.
Same as F150 described above.
I had 180,000 on my F150 3.5 when I traded it for my Wife's Explorer limited. (35 anniversary present) Never a problem, no whistle.
Now my 2016 F350 with the 6.7, turbo back 4" dual exhaust and cold air in take sounds like a shop vac at idle.
I ordered the Base because the only 2 things I couldn't get that I would like to have had are the Marine Grade Seats and the Sandstone Interior.
I wasn't spending an additional $6000.00 for those 2 additions.
I don't really like any of the available rims or tire options, Exception the Badlands...
So how does this effect the turbos?
Whether I’m driving my 1 ton 6.7 or my wife’s turbo explorer I always let the engine run for a minute before shutting it off. It cools the turbo.
I farmed for 35 years and even driving a tractor down the road by pyrometer always was above the idle...
I too have a March order date and was told I would get delivery in October or November.
I have a priority 11 FWIW.
He called 2 weeks ago and said if I changed my order to a soft top I might get it built in July.
I said I'd hold out for the MIC.
FYI
Communication today with the DM for my Dealer...
You can hear a little turbo whine.
I’ll love my Bronco, if I live long enough to get it.
But it will never sound like my Power Stroke with 4” turbo back exhaust.
I would like to increase my mileage over increase of hp.
Cold air intake, a sleight modify to the tune and some exhaust updates will...
Ok I have no answers but a lot of questions after reading these posts.
I never put in a reservation, I just went in and placed an order in March.
My Order confirmation e-mail has no order number or date of order just the model.
My order, ie window sticker shows Model Year 2021, Order Code 1049...
That’s the reason for the NC fuel solenoid valve.
The tank has to be isolated or gravity will over flow the OEM fuel fill tube and tank.
Use the aux switches as the power source, use gravity to transfer the 10 gallons to the OEM tank, only after the OEM tank allows for 10 additional gallons...
I'd route a steel braided fuel line from the rear tire tank and tap into the OEM fuel fill tube.
(I hope the fuel fill tube is easier to replace on a Bronco than it is on a Ranger)
Put an electric fuel valve on the rear tank so when the OEM tank level gets low you hit your switch and don't have...
Sorry thought he was responding to my post.
In reference to the 35’s. The 1st addition I saw had the front bumper modified by shortening the support bar to add clearance. So I would agree with the above post anything over the 315/70r17’s will be pushing it even with the Sasquatch suspension...
