So what sort of options is everyone wanting or wishing for?? Fully loaded with every bell and whistle or bare bones as possible for building a beast??

Myself I'm a simple kind of guy. Don't need all of the fancy stuff. But I enjoy a few creature comforts. My options wish list would include......

  • 2.7l
  • Automatic
  • Hard top
  • Air conditioning
  • Power windows and locks
  • LED headlights, fogs and taillights
  • Auto dimming rear view mirror
  • Blind spot monitoring
  • Heated seats and steering wheel
  • Tilt and telescoping steering wheel
  • Heated power mirrors with signals and auto dim
  • Bluetooth/Apple/Android Auto
  • Wireless charging
  • 110v in the cargo area
  • Remote start
  • Full time AWD with Terrain select
  • Heavy duty rear tire carrier
  • Max towing package
  • Black out package (zero chrome)
I'm going more for an overlander/beach buggy and not a full on rock crawler. So I don't really need things like sway bar disconnects. No mountains or anywhere to wheel within three hours of me. Don't want any of that autonomous crap like speed sensing, back up and braking assist or lane keeping. No big ass touch screen that leaves you reliant on it for control. I want knobs and switches for climate and audio. And I can nav with my phone. Don't want or need power seats. But more than likely I am going to have to take it with heated seats. I don't even need cruise. I think in all my years of driving I have used cruise less than ten times. Leather I'm indifferent. Not a big fan. But with a little one it would make clean up easier.

Good call on the wireless charging. Forgot about that.

I like your thinking on the top. But I'm pretty sure our options will be hard top or soft top. They may come out with something like Jeep's power rollback top thing. But that would be a hard pass for me.

I'd like to see all of the above offered as options, plus the option of any production engine they offer, any color they offer in any line, SFA, portal axles.

It would be kind of nice if you could just order your bronco lifted from the dealer or factory, Seems that would be a popular option to let people get their desired ride height and wheel size right away versus buying a new truck then immediately spending extra to replace your still brand new stock suspension.

That would be nice. Especially seeing what Mopar charges for the mild lift for rhe Wrangler and Gladiator. But when people lift they also want to level. With towing capabilities you will never have a fully level truck from the factory. So it's always going to be more money to spend. LOL

On a side note I was watching that leak video and it showed a tire size on the prototype of 305/70-17. That's almost a 34x12 tire. Pretty damn big for OEM. Even if it doesn't come from the factory that way at least we have an idea of what will fit.

That would be a good option.It would have to be from the factory, I don't trust the dealer to change the floor mats.

Just to clear it up some, Fiat does an excellent marketing job to hide this but Dodge Jeep Ram IS owed by Fiat now after being passed around quite a bit in last years!

Regarding factory lift... In the ordering tables, look at the description of the Wildtrak/Sasquatch: Ford claims it is slightly lifted. The standard 35's also lift it an inch over the 33's.
