Base Model Bronco Thread

[zerk4321]

I ordered the Sasquatch base 4 door. To me I am getting 90% of the off road capability at a substantial savings . Sold my Jeep this is so much better equipped for the money than the Jeep . The bronco is ahead of the game.

Absolutely the best bang for your buck and I would argue 98% of the off road capability.

Can I have some suggestions for some larger all terrain tires I can put on the steelies until I can lift and get something larger? TIA

Bridgestone Dueler A/T in 285/75. Same line as the factory tires, except ~33 inches and all-terrain versus highway / all-season.

This is exactly the look I want. Do you care to share the wheel and tire info?

For any base owner, what is the most surprising feature or thing about your base model bronco that you didn't expect?

I was suprised that I liked the cloth seats. Was going to get aftwrmarket leather, but I like the cloth. Even though I did the off-rodeo in a Sasquatch, am occasionally suprised by the height to get in.

Edit: I haven’t had mine for long. Drove some winding back roads around here - I was suprised how little lean/body roll there is on curves - feels really stable.

Those side steps really look good.

Thank you! I really like them

How is the rear middle seat in the 4 door base cloth seats? I’ve only sat in leather and it was really uncomfortable. Wondering if cloth without the drop down cup holder is better?

Picked mine up today. Dealer threw in the running boards (Customer satisfaction cash) and installed the JCR Baja bar...

Did you have to negotiate the customer cash? My dealer already said I am not getting that when I pick up. Not sure if they exhausted what was allocated to them, never had it or is yanking my chain...I would put it right back into accessories through the dealer.

I ordered a base model from Serramonte Ford on 11/17. At the time they told me orders were sold at MSRP. Can you confirm that?

Know a guy who recently picked one up retail from Serramonte (i.e. was on the lot although he ordered one) and dealer tacked on $5k but he paid it anyway. This was in Jan 22'

Has anyone swapped the leather shift knob from the higher trims over to the base? Anyone have a part number? The stock base shift knob is hard as a rock and feels so budge.

This is cool question. I’ve been looking for threads about replacing the shift knob and how it feels to drive; not much out there so’s I can find.
