What Jack will be Included with the 2021 Bronco?

It would be interesting to see what jack they include, especially with the Sasquatch Package.

Probably not this one:

You are correct, the standard issue jack may not be the best choice for overland travel with 35s. A high lift jack may be the better option and could be stored in the back or on the roof. That might allow the jack storage compartment to be repurposed. Some owners may wish to carry an axillary battery as well as an onboard air compressor. Although the engine compartment would be a good choice for both, the compartment may be too tight and understanding the size of alternative locations might be helpful. That is where dimensions are important. Access to a tape measure would be a good thing!

One interesting thing about this event is that it's the first all brands event where they've been on display. It will be fun to see the reactions to them in a crowd that isn't dominated by Bronco fans.

Here in Northern New England, 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is important. The region is loaded with Jeep, Tacoma, and Subaru vehicles. Their owners have fierce loyalty to the brands. As you encounter the Jeep or Tacoma owners at Moab, hope for the best and brace yourself.

Great conversation started over on the Moab 4x4 Expo thread. I'm moving it over here since I think it merits it's own thread.

From what I'm seeing around the internet, a similar jack is included with Raptor and it performs quite poorly. Lets hope that there's something better coming for Bronco.

As the picture shows, if you get a flat tire while mall crawling the standard issue jack should work just fine. If your out rock crawling in snow and mud, you may prefer a different jack. Just sayin!

You're certainly correct. It'd be great to see something beefier. Might be hard for Ford to justify doing that given how many folks will engage in those activities vs. those that won't. I also wonder how many hardcore off-roaders already have aftermarket jacks that they carry. Regardless, if that ARB jack or something equivalent is in the accessories catalog then that's something, provided the pricing isn't outrageous. ;)

That one is about an $800 hurdle to clear. They will certainly have it in the catalog since it is displayed here. Will be interesting what the price will be for it and other top end accessories.

At SuperCel I asked the Ford Marketing manager about a second battery just after they unveiled the Overlander concept. He admitted that you would likely need an extra one for that full set up. I guess we will learn more about that coming up.
That is what market research and testing are about. They also wanted to gauge interest on the side blackout panels on the hardtop. They were looking to see how the panels were received.

now that would be nice i say they should throw that in for all the waiting were doing on the b&p

I hope it's this Jack:



Specifically O'Neill, with 2 Ls!

I was looking at jacks think I'm going with the inflatable one

I would love to see Ford include something a little more substantial with the Sasquatch or 35s, however will not get my hopes up. I definitely think a beefier AM unit will be in order!

It'll almost certainly be a scissor jack

It will be a jack worth removing. where I will place a functional jack is on my mind.

Yep, a scissor jack just won't cut it with 35s and on the trail...
