Base Model Bronco Thread

[Mike20]

Here is Mike Levine’s response to me asking him if there’d be any other options for the base besides the steel wheels. Looks like I may go Sasquatch or wait a few months and search for wheels off another trim (or maybe even Ranger).

Kind of a bummer, I'd have given Ford money to get the BD steelies. Guess I'll be searching the forum for someone who doesn't want their black steelies

Confirmation that the Bronco shares it's steel rims with the Ranger is HUGE news!!!!

We can now start calculating maximum backspacing!

Well, I've been doing some real hard thinking on all this and of course it hurts to do so and cost money as those bottles of excedrin aren't getting any cheaper.

Well, while I'd like a regular bronco for a daily driver (not sport), I have come to like all the cool tech stuff as it makes driving safer and more enjoyable. It would be nice if a person could add the lux package to the base model rather then have to start with the outer bank. I'd like more tech on my daily driver and somewhat less on my trail rig which is basically backward from what Ford is offering.

I love the base grille. I had planned on getting base and this was a color option and so glad the silver looks as good as I had hoped.

That said, I'm now contemplating going to Black Diamond for another $80/mo. I'm probably in the minority to hope for a delay in production so I have more time to save for a bigger deposit. I had the idea of "I'll go in cheap, just get the base, and add stuff over time" but then I started looking at aftermarket parts and cost for installing them and figure it might be best to just get it up front. Also Black Diamond has washout interior (which honest to christ, should be standard in all models of bronco. i mean who doesn't put that in standard on a vehicle where a highlight is driving around w/ no doors??)

Is it too late to join the party in this thread? Reserved a 4 door Black Diamond on reveal night but after this week's revelation I'm thinking 2 door #basemansquatch

The value is just too good to pass up.

Can't wait for the pending pics/vids of this one to start rolling in

As B&P is getting closer, I haven't wavered much in what I want. Anyone else.

2 Door Base
Carb Gray, Silver, maybe Antimatter Blue (in that order)
2.7L Auto
Sasquatch Package (small lift, 37s in KO3 at some point)
AUX switches maybe
Maybe some other small OEM adds
Tint the hardtop windows
Bestop twill softop/bikini top when available

Under 40k, the more under the better.

Same here - especially the "under 40K, the more under the better."

2 Door Base
Antimatter Blue

Sasquatch Package

None of the other stuff you mentioned, because I think just this much is going to bring the cost pretty close to 40. Plus, I want to put some money aside for a platform over the back seats for an air mattress, cooler, pack, and laptop on top and storage for a tent and cooking supplies underneath. And maybe a second set of tires, depending on whether the 35s are really mud tires or something else.

For what it's worth, one dealership I spoke with said the "guesstimates" we're seeing online (like on this forum) are within a few hundred bucks of the actual prices. I don't know whether that's true for sure, but I'm guessing we're going to be paying a lot more for some things than people with higher trims.

Same pretty much. Right now I'm at Base 2dr 2.7 with Sasquatch for gearing and diffs, AUX switches. Everything else can be done aftermarket over the next 3-5 years.

I would get a mid package if they offered it on the base, but want us to pay the $5k jump for the privilege to buy the $1.5k mid package, and I don't negotiate with terrorists.

I'll undercut most of you .

Base 2dr
2.3 Auto
Aux switches and roof rack
Keep it under 35k

Anything else I'll add down the road

Pretty close

Base 2dr
Shadow Black
2.3 Manual
Sasquatch
Aux Switches

With the Stephens deal I've estimated this to come out just under 35k

The only thing that bugs me is that I want no NEED heated seats for winter (I'm a Brit transplant living in New England and it gets far too cold for me!!!) Which is making me sway towards a Black Diamond with Mid package I'd rather jump over Big Bend and get the vinyl interior too...but I'm adding about 10k for that!!!

I'm toying with the idea of aftermarket heated seats elements under custom vinyl covers wired into the aux switches, and weather tech mats....should be alot less than 10k and gets me close to a wash out interior

I envy the people with low/no taxes and cheap tags. It'll add another $3k-$4k with tax/title/fees here. Base price, few options, add on the costs mentioned and bam you're into $40ks real fast from that $28k starting price.

Same here in the socialist state of Ct. GRRRRR then every year property tax on the damn thing will be approx. $900 Did I say GRRRRRR
