Base Model Bronco Thread

[Frank N]

Is it safe to say Base 2 door buyers are the real winners in all of this?

Especially those of us who know how to turn a wrench and find take offs...

I'm going base with 2.7l plus roof rack. I will add 17in wheels with 32 in all terrain. These are the wheels i will probably get. I think they will look good on the bronco.

Havent even considered white at all and then ...base 2.7 Squatch.

The white looks AMAZING, Especially against all the black ascents. I think it's a top color, if not THE top. Reminds me of a cat, or zebra. I just dont see me doing it though, can't add to the sea of monochromatic cars (white, black, gray).

Gotta say, not seeing any rapid reds..

Is the modular painted top going to be available for the base or all trims for that matter other than FE/WT ?

No, base gets MIC top only

No, base gets MIC top only

Thanks bro! that's tough ... how about the rest.. or only available for FE/WT ? So confusing .. I thought it was an option for all trims ..

I don't know specifics of other trims, I've been base from day 1. I've looked around, but you couldn't quote me on other trims

Yes, I don't really care about having a locker, but I do plan on adding a Truetrac LSD. The only thing I'm kind of bummed about is the 3.73s, but I think they will be fine when I upgrade to 32s.


I kept trying to tell people that and no one believes me. If you look at other trims the advanced 4x4 is $795 option standalone, which is added on when you select squatch for $4995.

I believe you. That is what I noticed right away.

No, it was recently posted that Mod roof won’t be an early option for any trims. Even FE/WT will have only MIC for early orders.

I would do white except for the whole OJ effect. I still remember sitting in my GF LR watching that shyte.

Haha I know right? Oh well. It’ll be my bronco.

At the $40k price point there are several options....
2 door Base, 2.7/auto, Roof rails, Mod bumper, Floor liners, Headliner + Squatch = $39,525.
Bump to Big Bend, no Squatch, with rear locker = $39,415.
or Black Diamond, no Squatch, includes rear locker and add Advanced 4x4 = $41,095.
Summary.....The BaseSquatch has the best drivetrain for the $$.

Base/no Squatch would be $33,735 and a killer deal. But needs bigger tires and maybe wheels. Wonder if the plain traction control will be good enough or if I should do an aftermarket LSD? Or if the Bronco will have the welded ring gear and a LSD is even doable?

I don't necessarily want the Squatch 35" M/S tires, but that's the only way to get lockers and adv 4x4 on the Base. Wish there was a 'mini Squatch' option!

My thought is I’d prefer locking diff and 33s. A big price difference to squatch it. Might move to big bend and get 33s, mid pkg, locking diff, and better wheels for similar price to squatch base

That's the issue I am having. I don't want to squatch a base. But a lack of a diff lock on an off-road vehicle kind of sucks. If the base had the option, I'd gladly go that route. Thinking BB is the way to go for that reason alone.

What are your thoughts on the Build and Price Reference Guide V2? How accurate is it for the Base trim? If it is accurate, then I think I can live without the mid package. The only thing I would really missing would be BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert. I had it in my 16 MKC and it was nice when backing out of a parking space and on the highway. It also says the rear camera has back up assist lines?
