Base Model Bronco Thread

Roached out base 4dr, toss on $900 in tires for 32s.... Hmmmm.

Throw on red paint for $295 and probably the best value as far as resale. Nice.

Rapid Red is only good if you are a mall crawler.
Tri-coat Paints are * insanely* expensive to fix desert pinstriping, or other damage.

TL;DR , Tri-Coat paints Rapid Red and Cyber Orange are great if you don't offroad and plan to sell/lease return.
Not so much once they get badly scratched or damaged IRL.

I'm noticing things opening up depending on what I select. Ok

Welp, now I'm totally confused.

Stuck between the following:
2DR Base Mansquatch (and basically wait forever for it to show up),
2DR Base Autosquatch (and then probably kick up to the V6 because uhhh not much difference lol)
2DR Manual Black Diamond.

With accessories Option1+3 are basically tied for $38K~, and Option 2 wouldn't be much more expensive...

Goddammit Ford lol

I looked it up and thought all paints are tri-coats ( Base + Color + Clear).....What would Velocity Blue be?

Most are bi-coats. Base +clear.
The primer doesn't count.

That's what I'm looking at now, but pay more just to get the manual? I feel like I'll get more car if I get the 2.7 base

Isn't pearl another layer/coat or is it just an additive?

I suppose I am confused because the Race Red seems to have less depth than Velocity from when I saw them.

It looks like the sasquatch charges you the full 2.7l price to upgrade. I think that is what we all hope isnt a glitch

Yeah, and supposedly the manual sasquatch package won't be on Build and Price for awhile, so...I'm wondering if that means I can't order one when the order banks open up in December lol

The only thing I want is a manual and squatch ?. Also any one notice you need to pay for a rear locking diff on top of squatch? Isn’t that the point of squatch ?

I dont see it as an extra charge the gear ratio and diff are listed as separate line items

Heh, my wife already gave me a rash about taking the rig out in the forest and getting pinstriping.

Sticky question.
" it depends ".

Modern warranted cars use an extra clear coat that has UV blockers in it to help make the paint live past the warranty period. Even if the owner never waxes the vehicle.

Classic paints (expensive car show ones will look way richer and deeper than factory) may, or may not have an added UV clear coat.
This is a subject way outside a production vehicle forum.


--------
Ford is using 2 coat paints for the Bronco on everything except Rapid Red and Cyber Orange.

Primer NEVER counts.

When I select Sasquatch it adds rear locker. Right?
