Base Model Bronco Thread

[TripleB]

My original reservation was for a Wildtrak but after analyzing what I wanted I decided to go with a base Sasquatch. There is only one thing I’m having a hard time letting go of: the privacy glass on the clamshell. It annoys me that I can’t get it on the base.

Same with me. I’m going to either tint the glass, trade tops with someone else for cash or out right by a new top. Also I’ll ride a soft top when available 9 months out of the year.

MT Pros:

no one will steal the damn thing
Wife can't drive a stick
does Ford know how to build an AT for rock crawling and other heavy off road use?

MT Cons:
does Ford know how to build an MT?
I live in the damn BAY AREA
It's MUCH easier to wheel an automatic
Wife can't drive a stick
Crawler gear ratios are overrated unless you have a damn buggy or Jeep that's probably not road legal anymore

Do we know how long the delay is for a manual squatch? I’m not thinking I will be patient enough to wait if it’s 6 months later. Ugh

It’ll come down to supply. I’m thinking Sasquatch elements will be prioritized for automatic orders because it’s what they originally planned for and makes more money for Ford.

I noticed in the Reservation Stats thread, the 2 door makes up only 37% of the reservations on 6G and the base trim makes up only 9% of the reservations on 6G. For those of us reserving a 2 door base, assuming the stats from 6G reservations are somewhat indicative of the total real-world reservations stats, that puts us in the very small minority of reservations. I don't know if this has been asked yet, but might that work out in our favor as far as getting our Broncos delivered? Fewer reservations, quicker getting them built and out to people? Do we know if they'd likely prioritize building the lower trims (fewer reservations) or higher trims (more reservations) first? Or would it all just be speculation on top of speculation lol.

I suspect that after B&D, and with most dealerships not offering X plan, we're going to see some buyers shifting from higher trims to the Base trim, and some Base trim people shifting from 4- to 2-door so they can afford the extras.

There's literally nothing on the higher trims that I want, and I don't remember the last time I opened three of my current car's four doors, so I'm very happy to be here in the 2-door Base Camp. But as far as production? Yeah, all speculation.

I don't think many will change from 4-door to 2-door. People that need the 4 door aren't going to hassle with a 2-door if t doesn't work for them. Trim levels? Definitely.

Yeah, you could be right. But $4,700 more for two doors and a little more space is a lot. It's a Sasquatch package. Or most of the other options we've seen combined. Guess we'll see.

Definitely 2-door base with manual. Only my wife and I can drive but will teach my granddaughter in time.

Yup. Should I get 2 Door with roof rack or maybe just get a hitch box to carry camping gear. Either would be cheaper than a 4 door but the extra space would be nice.

You can probably negotiate with the dealer to tint the whole car for a few hundred bucks.

$4700?! I’ve wanted a 2-door from the start, I had no idea it was that much.

That's the rumor for the base. It's much less for the other trims (except the FE).

 

[Garbone]

Let's see BnP, but today's build is Base 2dr Iconic Silver with dealer installed 32s , floor rubbers and roof rack. Subject to change as the wind blows.

Not rumor, it's on the Ford website

It's Fords attempt to get people to go up on the trim because the next trim big bend the difference is $2495 between 2 and 4 door while the difference for the base is $4700. That is quite a big difference and kinda a slap in the face from Ford for those that just want a base 4 door.
