'IDEAL' BUILD?

[BraptorAddict]

What is your 'ideal' Bronco Build? We obviously don't know everything yet, but there are already some omissions and misleading marketing photos that we are disappointed with. If you could dip into the DEEEEP well of Ford Performance, how would you build your Bronco?

Based on what I've seen so far, this would be mine:

A) 4-Door
B) Wildtrak Trim with Add-On swaybar disconnect
C) 2.7L V6/Manual Trans
D) 'Classic Bronco' color scheme
-Hardtop White roof
-Baby-blue paint
-White Steel Wheels
-White Letter Tires
-Chrome Grill
E) Butterscotch Leather Seats
F) 15,000 Warn Winch
G) Lightbar on front bumper

Thoughts?

I would love the light blue.... alas my wife hates that color as it was the color of the POS 4x4 I had when we started dating.

I upgraded mine to the black diamond just to get the vinyl seats and floor drains.... I am not a big off roader some mine would be

Base
light grey
vinyl seats and floor drains.
black hardtop
stock wheels/ updated rims
2.4 with auto (my current ride is standard and sucks in traffic with my bad knee)
blackout grill with chrome bronco text.
throw on some old school 5 lamp KC lights on the roof.

Anyone considering a Badlands but with the 285/70/17 All-Terrain tires/wheels (as opposed ot Sasquatch). Unless one is a legit off-roader, I'm thinking the 35" "mud" tires will be noisy as hell and a nuisance in day-to-day around town driving (notwithstanding the cool "look"), and worse on the highway. I think the Badlands is the only model to get the next down in size 285 tire.

I personally think the black diamond has most of what I would like, but def not 32s. If ford offered Sas with all terrain choice it would be more attractive to me. If I don’t do sas it’s because of a crazy price. In that case I’ll just buy 33s after I take delivery.

I'm not even a first year buyer... but if I were to order one today...

2-door Black Diamond... White with black hard top... 2.7L with 10 speed... sasquatch... slide out tailgate and roof rack. Done...

Check out the black Bronco right at the beginning of this. I'm wondering if those tires are the 285/70/17 variety....

 

[Blackjack]

Badlands 4 door 2.7l
Cactus Gray
I'm assuming the white roof will not be an option, so white wrapped hard top.
Light colored marine seats
33 in A/T tires
I really like RTR style wheels, so I'd check them out
LED light bar on grille
Brushed Aluminum/Stainless Grille w/ contrast lettering
Mid Package

 

[TripleB]

2 door
Silver
Base
Sasquatch
2.7L auto

Options I may click if available but no deal breakers:
Privacy glass, tint if not
Maybe all LEDs
Maybe remote start

It's really all I want.

They could be. They look pretty decent with the smaller flares.
But it's hard to say when we are looking at prototype vehicles.

Love this configuration . I’d rather stick to the 33” A/Ts and possibly go bigger later. Hoping the 2.7l and 10-spd come in around 3k.

I pretty much talked myself out of the Sasquatch.

As someone who lives in Florida, the majority of driving will be on flat roads. While there is some great places to go mudding and trenches and muddy hills - to go up into the mountains, I'm looking at a 6 hour drive at best.

The gas mileage alone will be crushing - and I'm going with Badlands (most likely) because the wife and I are transitioning to empty nesters and plan on traveling the country more.

luckily, it looks like ford will be selling the one i want, although most of the reason i want it is because ford is selling it...

-2 door
-base
-OJ white
-2.7l v6
-10 speed auto
-16" wheels/30" tires

maybe a soft top would've been nice, for the weight reduction... i want to see how fast a bronco can really go.

Badlands 4 door. May go with the 7 speed manual box IF Ford decides to allow the Sasquatch package with it. If not, then maybe the bigger engine and the 10 speed auto trans. I go back and forth on the Sasquatch 35 inch tires - they will be loud, they hurt the gearing, but they help with ground clearance. I like the Cactus Gray, will probably go with the Mid option package, and if I do end up with Sasquatch I will go with bead lock rims.

If I can get the base Black Diamond with the stronger front axle and 4.70 gears, I would get everything I wanted.

 

[Garemlin]

Are we talking ala carte?? If so this would be my ideal build

Outer Banks
2.7 & 10 speed
Dual top
High package
Badlands grille
Rubberized floor
Cloth seats
33s with 17" wheels
