Curious to know if any BN members have prior experience with Ram mounts? Also, do any members plan to use the Ram mounts for their Bronco or Bronco Sport?

I still hope to use mounts attached to a Picatinny rail but realize that rail design seems to have become a mystery. If it has fallen off the roll-out, I will need a back-up solution. With that goal in mind, I began searching for alternatives.

The Ram design seems like a good alternative for off-road adventures. I attached a link to their website as well as a YouTube video that walks us through the design advantages and applications.

Enjoy!

If you had asked me before seeing the rail I would have said, yeah, the mounts you posted can work fine. But the rails and usb power port on the dash are some of the coolest features that the Bronco brings to the table! One of the latest vids mentions the rail and port available for higher trim options (at the 9:40 mark):


I’ve also seen other walk around a where they say the rail is available as an accessory purchase. I plan to either get it through Ford or whatever aftermarket group makes an equivalent. It’s too clean of an organizing solution for me not to have.

The Ram mounts are good. Thier on the high end as far as price. I looked into the picitany rail and power ports. Thier ONLY offered with the Lux package. I wanted them but not the Lux. So...S.O.L..I'm guessing.

Use the Ram mounts on the Kayaks for various purposes. They are very sturdy and built well.

I used RAM Mounts for many years on my Harleys when I used to ride. Also have a window suction mount for in vehicle use. Top shelf product and very customizable. I'm wondering if there will be options to use RAM Mounts with the picatinny rail.

Another company to keep an eye on would be 67 Designs. They have some great mounting solutions for Jeeps, Toyotas, Ford trucks, and others. I've inquired about the Bronco but haven't heard back yet.

Ram is awesome. They make some super handy and durable gear. I use them in my Jeep and on my HD Street Glide.

It is good to see we may have multiple aftermarket options to consider.

I am still hoping for a Picatinny rail solution. I have the mounts ready for my GoPro, iPhone, and GMRS radio. Chances are I will be adding into the cockpit a Garmin inReach Mini and perhaps an iPad Mini. I do not want the dash too cluttered, so I will be exploring various options.

I am hoping we gain a deeper understanding of the Bronco Trail Maps software. My plan will be to craft the trail plans on my iPad Mini using GAIA and create a gpx file which I hope to upload into the Bronco software. If not, my iPad Mini will be mounted in the cockpit.

We still have a fair number of unknowns at this point!

Im hoping the trail maps feature works well, certainly well enough that I can 86 a bunch of other screens. I am not a fan of a bunch of stuff all over the place. I was hoping the GMRS would would mount up on the dash rail like in one of the overland display trucks. I think you are totally right @BuzzyBud, loads of unknowns. I ran an external GPS, CB and inclinometer in my old CJ, (as well as a bottle opener on the dash, but thats a different story) and that was just a thing or two too many. Im real hopeful that the factory Nav and inclinometer are functional, so Im only having to add the radio.

Got an email from a customer service rep at 67 Designs and they definitely are planning to offer on-dash device mounting systems for the Bronco. They are just waiting to get their hands on a production vehicle.

Nice. Bullet Point Mounting Solutions came up in my instagram feed since I started a Bronco specific account, and I was about to do the same. Did they give you any rough ETA? If not, I'll ask as well!

Not yet. I suspect they should have them ready to go soon, need the mounting rail from 4WP first.

I just purchased a female threaded ball, a coupler, a long flexible arm, and a QI charging phone mount (which is ready to be hardwired to a Aux Switch in the Glove Box if need be.)

My goal is to remove one of the Bronco Bolts on the console grab handle and put a stud in there with the Ram Ball. This should allow me to install the coupler and long arm vertical, and allow the phone mount to be near the radio/display.

I wanted to put a QI charger under the console, forward the shifter, but I typically forget my phone there, and have been setting my phone in the cup holders. I find the wireless Apple Car Play does use a lot of my phone battery, streaming from Pandora or Podcasts (a whole other topic). So I hope that this mounting solution will keep my phone charged, while also being in reach should I be using another app, like BroncoNation for maps, etc. (gratuitous plug).

I will have everything next week and will update with a few photos.
