SAS I can maybe understand but why not the 2.7L? I just saw someone else post a Big Bend build with a roof rack and the 2.7L so I checked it out and sure enough 2.7L + Roof Racks works on the Big Bend (SAS still didn't work in conjunction with the RR) so honestly I'm not sure what to think... ?‍♂️
It also doesn't allow you to add racks with the 33's if you opt for the 2.7L so I'm inclined to think it's an error. However, if you really can't put a roof rack on a Bronco with the 2.7L and/or SAS, it may be a deal breaker for me.
Given how difficult it's been for Ford to get B&P out, I'm not going to stress too much on what must be bugs with the site. For example, there is no way the 2.7L engine and/or SAS should prevent things like roof racks from being added. Also, many of the standard options for trims the BL I'm...
It's crazy how many times I've changed my mind on this build due to new info...
Initially, I was completely sold on that original 4dr CG Badlands with the white roof... Then we were told it was a one-off and the white roof wasn't happening so I shifted to A51 with a painted black top (I've...
I noticed those too and thought perhaps it had something to do with regenerative braking for a hybrid setup... Most likely just a weird shock mount to your point or a protective housing of some sort.
If it's not a hybrid, I think that 3.0L EcoBoost from the Explorer ST would be a great option ?‍♂️
Agreed. I wish someone would have asked WHY the dynamic load is so low at 110lbs? Is it because of the factory rack's limitations or is it due to handling / rollover concerns? Really I just want to know if an aftermarket rack solution can increase the dynamic load capacity.
I would love to have more options for a RTT so I hope Ford addresses why the dynamic load is so low at 110lbs (very few RTT's are that light) - Really, I just want to understand if it's due to handling / rollover concerns (which would be difficult to remedy, right?) or support limitations that...
Wow that A51 Wildtrak spec is beautiful. I actually really like it with the black top (thought I would opt for white hardtop if it became an option).
This pic has also made me flip flop back to SAS and now I want the door handles painted so hoping that’s a BL option...
Also, the gray MIC is...
My biggest takeaways:
1) A51 looks amazing... It's always been at the top of my list with CG but this may solidify the #1 spot.
2) The MIC Black top!!! I want it! Ford - The gray MIC is terrible, please don't waste your time with it.
3) I think I'm sold with 33's on the BL.
This the first car I've ever gone through the reservation process on so I have no basis for comparison but does it always feel this disjointed and rushed? On one hand it's really fun to be part of the "process" but it's also aggravating at the same time. Almost feels like the Bronco should have...
That's what I'm wondering... The gray MIC top is just bad, especially on this silver base model where you have different shades of gray/black on the fenders, handles, grille and top. It's frustrating to see Ford nail the overall design of the Bronco and put so little thought into some of these...
Many of these have already been asked but:
1. What are the options for a white hardtop (modular, mic, painted, etc)?
2. What is the real reason the dynamic load is so low at 110 lbs - Is it rollover/handling concerns that can't be fixed with aftermarket support or will aftermarket racks...
While I don't think it's fair to compare it to something like an Element, it still feels like a miss given how many innovative solutions are out there. Personally, I would have rather seen Ford give up 4 inches to bring it level and incorporate a storage compartment. I know the aftermarket will...
For another $1k I would like to have the swaybar disconnect which I believe is the only difference... although the hardtop on the WT is a bit nicer so that adds a bit more to the BL ?‍♂️
No joke - I'm excited and scared at the same time! An optioned out BL is going to add up quick so I've resorted to building out Raptors and GT350's to pass the time and make the Bronco feel like a bargain ?
