Base Model Bronco Thread

[Gasherbrum]

Fixed...Halfway anyway.

Figured the free auto with Squatch was a glitch...this is better than 9K...still makes Base Base look good

Base/Basesquatch

I'm still unclear on Mr. Levine's tweet ... he's says SAS package should be $ 7,385 - does this include the A10 which would make sense since that's the only option currently available with the SAS. Or does he mean it's $ 7,385 for the SAS plus $ 1,595 for the A10 so a total of $ 8,980 which is what the B & P currently shows?

It does not include the auto - that's extra - so the total cost for adding Sasquatch is $8,980. They had this itemized in an earlier version of the B&P two nights ago and quickly took it down. Wish I had grabbed a screenshot.

Is your avatar really Gasherbrum? I or II?

Let’s hope that is not the case. I tend to believe the $8980 still includes a double-charge for the automatic transmission. As much as I hate to hear from Levine again, someone needs to pin him down for a further clarification.

4 Door Base is still showing $4995 for the package. In the summary it's still showing $5780 or whatever the 4A added. However, the base price of the 4 Door Base is up $1595 (the price of the Automatic).

I did notice that Sasquatch was showing $8980 for trims other than 4 Door Base, so I'm guessing there will still be some more adjustments!!

That's a big hit price wise, would make me reconsider things.

One of my favorite mountains by appearance is Gasherbrum IV, but I've never climbed in the Himalaya, just the West Coast ranges and South America. Maybe I forgo a new Bronco next year and take a big trip instead ...

It is sad for me to say this. I have been following the Bronco release for a long time.

Bottom line for me. This vehicle is starting to get too expensive. The pricing has pushed me up into another category of vehicles.

At this price and my intended use, other vehicles give much more.

Everyone is probably going to move up a spot in the line. I have a day two reservation.

My thoughts exactly: Bronco or Vinson?

Or take another shot at Chimborazo...and a bunch of other peaks in SA and MX.

Well at least one thing is certain amidst all the pricing confusion on this thread ... you can't drive even a well equipped Bronco to Mt Vinson!

Need some "Stig" level inside info, or some solid logical speculation on this one.....

If you pull the carpet out of a Base model after taking delivery, and install some high-quality waterproof seat covers, what other technical modifications would be needed to make the interior as weather resistant as the Black Diamond?

Pull the body drain plugs out.
Coat the floor with bed liner.
Katskin leather seat covers.

Don't use neoprene seat covers in hot/humid parts of the country. They will give you Swamp ass under most conditions.
Out here in Arizona, they will give you a heat rash down your back and down where you really don't want a heat rash.

BullyLiner

U-pol/ RaptorLiner

These would be the DiY versions of Line-X and either of these, or Line-X, would work to coat the floor with.

Seat covers would depend on your budget. I prefer Katzkin, but that may be more than some are willing to spend.

So no locker available on the base, is the 4.46 rear with the manual at least a limited slip?

I wonder if Armorlite will make something for the floors in the bronco. https://goarmorlite.com/

It is not, it is an open differential

My guess would be if they don't already plan to make something, they most likely will if they get enough people inquiring about it.

If enough interest is generated, it would be hard to pass up a potential money maker.
