Base Model Bronco Thread

[SoccerDude]

I'm just hoping the 2.7 stays at the $1,895

All signs and information point to V6 + 10A at $1895 for the bundle. It shouldn't change price.

All the little luxuries in the higher trims are just so tempting to my older self, hard to resist!!

But...I originally wanted to get back to basics with a fun open top off road vehicle, so going to stick with my original plan and go Base+2.7+Sasquatch. Only things I'll do is get manual disconnect sway bar links, tint the rear glass, and maybe install some heated seats.

My only concern now is being pushed to the back of the build line by Ford so they can build all the pricier models first.

My hope is any Sasquatch gets head of the line privileges on build priority in the Ford plant. I understand Ford wanting the First Editions out first, as well as the Badlands and Wildtracks, but anything Sasquatch should get some early love too right?

I appreciate all the info in here fellas. Definitely thinking base is the way to go. Anybody know if get the Molle on the back of the seats comes with all trims? Not even sure I'd use it, but seems like a cool idea.

It does not come on the base.
I will be adding waterproof seat covers and an aftermarket molle to the back.

very high chance this happens.

Basically built mine over and over until I got the bare necessities from factory (except mod bumper and upgraded bash plates). Based on options avail now. $31,760
All the other DIO I can add anytime so no need to get now.
Once they add MT + Sasquatch to bnp I will re-evaluate.

I hope they add mt+Sasquatch soon. That way I'll know whether to place order in December or wait.

This is my build. Exactly. Except I’m thinking capable bumper depending on whether or not it‘s a DIO and does/does not come with the pictured fog lights.

Looks like you can add lights to the modular. This pic popped up today

Oooo, the modular bumper plot thickens. I like that setup.

First time I saw lights on the modular so even though they don't come with it at lease we know we can attach them. Plus the modular comes with the upgraded bash plates. When I click on the capable bumper I lose the bash plate. I can always throw on a cheap pair of amazon lights to the modular ?

I like the modular look better, and I wanted the upgraded bash plate that comes with it. Being that you get both, it's not a bad deal at all for both. Probably cost the same aftermarket, and would take 6 months/year to get it.
I think the capable is plastic, but I can't tell for sure. Need metal bumper for my parking garage. Too many people like to rub bumpers in there, tired of it.

Where I live yellow fog lights are damn near a necessity. White outs happen and they provide needed contrast. Not going with a winch, but yellow LEDs are why I'm getting the aux. switches...

In other news;

See how the lower control arm is level, not angled down?

Either the Saquatch suspension is super soft, and easily pulled down by a little weight, or that's a regular Badlands suspension with 35" tires added on.

I was confused about ford co-pilot 360 technology on the base and contacted ford through their website. The representative on the chat sent me a link to some info. It said:

WHAT IS FORD CO-PILOT360?
Ford officially debuted its Co-Pilot360 suite in 2018 with the 2019 model year Fusion sedan. The system represented a leap forward into how the company bundled their safety tech while demonstrating the way forward for future vehicles. The system currently includes five safety systems and will be standard on all Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the 2020 model year onwards. Take a look at each of these five systems and how they help drivers stay safe in various situations.

If this is true, I'm now 100% going base.

I hope that’s true but those features are also specifically highlighted as part of the Mid package in Ford’s documentation:

MID​

Two-door Intelligent Access with lock and unlock functionality, 110V/150W AC power outlet, ambient footwell lighting, auto-dimming rearview mirror, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, heated front seats, illuminated visor mirrors, Remote Start System (automatic transmission only), Reverse Sensing System, subscription navigation with three month trial, SYNC 4 with enhanced voice recognition, Ford Co-Pilot360™ including Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS® with Cross- Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, Auto High-Beam Headlamps and rearview camera with backup assist grid lines [emphasis mine, and I know rear view camera without grid lines is already include on Base]​

I‘m primarily interested in the Mid package because of the safety features so if that’s already included with Base as part of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology that’s huge. But would be good to see additional clarification around this.

Does anyone know why they are not offering the towing package for base model. I really don't want to have to go to BB just so I can have that option.
