@@sunchaser999 thanks, I am going to wait for a used one off lease. I figure a leased version won’t be off tossed too bad. Probably have to wait for 2025 but that’s fine
It would be cool if the aftermarket would make roof panels with glass in them so you could have some light come in while still not being completely off.
Thank you you jumping in the front and rear seats. I’m 6’4” and similar build. So awesome to actually see how you fit. I’m definitely set on the Diamond. Have to have that rubberized floor. Hate carpet when it comes to anything off road.
Don't forget, on a Non Sasquatch... if you add a bigger style wheel, with larger tire. The rear camera has interference from that. The Sasquatch rear camera, has an extension on it to get it further out of the wheel. Just a heads up!!
I have a Black Diamond on order as well. Spec'd out like a Badlands, minus the 12 inch screen and the sway bar disconnect. But realistically, I can get an aftermarket sway bar later and I don't need a huge screen. I get a beefy beast that can keep up with a Rubicon for thousands less. I think that's a win.
I originally had a badlands non SAS on order, but switched to the Black Diamond, because I could add SAS and 2.7L, and still be a few thousand less than the BL
Yeah, I was only getting the mid package on the BL anyway, do I would still be getting the 8" screen. And I figured there will be aftermarket manual sway bar disconnect kits out in the next year or so.
Black Diamond (with Sasquatch) hits the sweet spot for me. You get all the off-road goodies except the sway bar disconnect, but how many times a year would I use that? I bet there will be 3rd party manual sway bar disconnects and you can save the extra expense.
What irks me is they put adaptive cruise on the Lux package. A feature toyota puts on all their cars as a safety feature. Also, you can only get 4 cup holders with leather seats. MGV doesn't have the center console fold down which is dumb. Also the movie clip is from the Sandlot!
After seeing the mgv seating in person I was sold on the Black Diamond. We went 4 door, MIC, MID, V6 and Sasquatch in Area 51. Really hope the hardtop guys get it together I want this thing NOW.
I've gone through ever trim and this is what I landed on. If you plan on owning the Bronco until it dies, then get whatever trim you think you will use. If you plan on owning it and selling it in the future, get the Badlands. Why? Swaybar disconnect is the answer. No other trim has the swaybar disconnect and if you are planning on resale value you MUST plan on an offroader wanting your rig. With that said, NO offroader wants your Bronco if it does not have swaybar disconnect. Enough said!
That makes no sense. Used cars buyers are less concerned with options in general than new car buyers. Plenty of buyers don't want the complexity. Sure Badlands will be worth more because it cost more new. Base with retain more of its value than expensive top models.
I sell cars. Used car buyers who can’t afford a new car or just the base model always go for a used car that is specd out the way they want. Unless they are payment buyers.
I bought this trim with mid package and don’t have a single regret. It fit in my budget and is an amazing vehicle. Can the Signature lights be installed on here?
Just got my 2 door black diamond in cactus gray. Absolutely love it! I still haven’t seen any others driving around Los Angeles. I hope it stays that way; I like to feel exclusive lol
I am glad to see a customer get one. My dealership does not even have a demo at this time. I have yet to see one in person. It makes me think how long of a wait I have to get mine when my dealership does not even have one to see.
I went to a dealership to check one out because they said they had one. And before I test drove it he said they can't even sell it for 6 months. And there are no other ones they have.
Great videos loving this trim level. The hard top is one of my definite must haves. Also as far as the movie…….the Sand lot is a classic !!! Love the bronco content keep it coming.
@ :30 is exactly why I went with the Black Diamond over the Badlands. The only significant difference that I could see was the stabilizer disconnect. I can't imagine where I'd ever need that.
There are some creature comfort differences as well . You can't option the high or Lux packages on the BD . The high pkg at least would have been nice but Ford wants to corral us into the more expensive trims even though they can't produce them .
The back diamond was my original choice but I ordered a Badlands two door still waiting on production date mine is now overdue. You mentioned Engine options why can't they offer the 3.5l max tow motor that's in the F150?
How often would you use the sway bars to justify having it? Do you climb over huge boulders and rocks all the time? Or are you just like a standard off-road guy that hits trails and mud sand and all that? If you're not really going to do rock crawling there's no need for this sway bar disconnect
The winch mount that Ford has been showing never blocked the IC/Radar, just the parking sensors and partial camera blockage, I have no idea what winch mount you are talking about?
I ordered a Black Diamond and the only thing I’m annoyed about is that I can’t get the halo led headlights with it. But I’m still super stoked to get mine in 2040😂
Besides the disconnecting sway bar, what is the difference of the drivetrain between the Black diamond and bad lands? In some videos I’ve seen it was said the the badlands has the strongest pinion gear out of all the other models?
IMHO the Black Diamond is best value trim package. I didn't want clothe and I didn't want to pay for leather, so I opted for the Black Diamond w/ Sasquatch.
So does T.C.Customs have color matching letters and rooftops in stock yet? Cant wait to see some great color combos from y'all!! I love my Lexus but damn starting to lust over a bronco for my daily driver.
Very good point, Ford really needs to tighten up. I was anxious for mine to be delivered but now I am glad I dont have it maybe they will correct the problems before I get mine.
I think the rear AC location is a mistake. Why would you put the vents at the passengers feet? I think if it's gonna be a hot ride for anyone sitting in the rear.
How did base msrp come out to 40,140 I build order the same and base comes out to 40,685. I think there was a change in price how was this ordered to the lower priced msrp?
I order outer banks with 18” bright machine black aluminum wheels. Before I buy the leveling kit can use 33 /12.50/r18 bfgoodrich tires on my outer banks instead of the original tire that come with it? Gladly appreciate your reply.
I actually prefer the soft-top, honestly. You can fold it back all the way, with only one person, and have the entire vehicle topless -- but the top is still there, ready to be put back in place, so if the weather changes, you're not stuck out in the elements with no top. Sure, you can carry the hard-top front panels with you, but not the middle panel, nor the bits over the cargo area, so if you go completely topless, you're just screwed if it starts to rain. And, yeah, the soft-top is probably a smidge louder than the hard-top, but I daily drove a 2015 Mustang convertible for years (until I traded it in on a 2019 Ranger) and it really wasn't all *that* loud in there with its soft top. I'd imagine the Bronco's soft-top is very similar to the Mustang's. Plus there's the added advantage of no delays on the soft-top Broncos, at least for now. (*knock on wood* I'm still waiting for a build-date on my 2022 Outer Banks 4-door soft top, so I guess that remains to be seen. LOL)
Gotta say you guys are doing great on keeping us updated on the ins and outs of the new Bronco, lovin it.
black diamond with Sasquatch, 2.7 and mid package is best bang for the buck with out question.
That’s my exact order
Couldn't agree more. 👏
Haha, double the cost of my Maverick 🤣 I can afford it but that isn’t the point.

as a floridian, i would like to see automakers offer more vented seat options to replace heated seat options.
Get a Mazda GX AWD! It has everything!
As a Nebraskan, I do would appreciate vented seats if they were cloth. Heck, heated or cooled forced air would be better than plain heated seats
Yes please 💨 ventilated seats are so money!
Phoenician here, I’ve never understood why that’s not a popular option. Leather/vinyl seats without vents down here can be brutal
you gotta stop making it seem like these backseat are comphy.....worst than a spirit airlines shitty seat. trash. buy a 4 runner
It would be cool if the aftermarket would make roof panels with glass in them so you could have some light come in while still not being completely off.
They do.

Just confirms my decision on ordering a Black Diamond. Thank you for these videos.
I really wish the upgraded headlights were an option on the BD. Then it would be perfect
how is it (if you did order one)
This guy knows his products very well. They should all be like this.

@@MH-gy6qv I drove a Wildtrack with the 12” screen. I honestly think it’s too big. Almost distracting, so I’d be fine with the 8” screen.
I think your setup is perfect.
Larger engine, MGV and SAS.
I went budget Big Bend, but your spec is great.
That's exactly how I specced one...I'm not an offroader and this is more than capable for me.
Thanks for sitting in the rear...I'm 6'2 and my son is 6'3 so its good to know we will both fit in the Bronco I ordered.
The loop where the back door latches will be used as the tailgate bottle opener, no one will use the C pillar
This video was wayyyyyyyy more fun than I had originally expected
Is that the oil leaking under it already?
I appreciate you doing videos for specific trims. Thank you. I searched for this, I didn't come across it
I've got a black diamond on order now. Thank you.
You are just so natural doing this I’d say this is your calling good work sir !

How long is the wait?
What’s the modular hard top that’s going to be available in 2023? What’s different about it?
I caught that too. Would like to know.
@@brentagade yeah hopefully Mitchell reads these comments and gives us an answer!
What is the purpose of the black handles on the top of the front fenders?
When you say "Available"......What does that mean?
Is it true the BRONCO and MAVERICK have the same height and length?
Most underrated? I'm thinking the best trim overall. Great video man! 🤟

Can the Signature lights be installed on here?
Im curious to know are the steel wheels on the black diamond better or worse than aluminum wheels that the Sasquatch offers.
I've never heard of crash bars until I started watching your videos
Just got my 2 door black diamond in cactus gray. Absolutely love it! I still haven’t seen any others driving around Los Angeles. I hope it stays that way; I like to feel exclusive lol
It is a major flaw to not have a/c in the back seats. I don’t count under the front seats as a/c.

How are the tops sealing and fitment? Initially I heard some tops making a racket!?
At 14:39- Sandlot!! Greatest movie growing up
How does the level kit effect the warranty ?
We did not get some of the options on our black diamond model that you said come on this trim level.
Gotta love The Sandlot.
Does that truck have an oil leak?
The back diamond was my original choice but I ordered a Badlands two door still waiting on production date mine is now overdue. You mentioned Engine options why can't they offer the 3.5l max tow motor that's in the F150?
Because the offroad suspension will not handle the towing capacity that the F150 will.
@@bjornironsides6474 Dude, he's not talking about adding the engine for heavy towing. He's wanting the bigger engine for shitting and getting!!
I would go for the black diamond but you can't get the disconnect sway bar with it

@15:54, 2-door versions do not get a bottle opener and instead have to either drink from a can, twist top, or drive around thirsty. That sucks.
I'm sure I'd be able to count how many times I use that opener on one or two hands. :)
Does the AC come on and off every time you hit a bump. Or has Ford fixed that problem.
Can you squeeze a in a 2dr Bronco? Bronco 4dr 2021-2023 Cargo Area Security Drawer
How do I keep seeing Black Diamond models with the DRL LED headlights? It's not an option. This a thing? Can I change my order???
whats the difference between the twill and black soft tops?
When I try to put this tire combo on discount tire website it says they won’t fit. Did anything change for 2024, will this still fit?
What is the fluid leaking out from under the engine compartment on the floor?
Probably the AC!?
hopefully the ac. 2.7 have had oil pan leaking issues. with that much probably ,water condensate
AC drains
The big bend has the dual channel ac
The winch mount that Ford has been showing never blocked the IC/Radar, just the parking sensors and partial camera blockage, I have no idea what winch mount you are talking about?
Great trim BUT no LED headlight option plus limited to MID is what pushed me to Badlands
So the question is. Base model with Sasquatch or black diamond with no option?
would the top's front and middle panels be able to be carried in the vehicle if the rear seats were folded down?
OK. So must have accessories gas cap lock and some kind of fender tie-downs (zip ties?).
You've got to get the black steelies with the Black Diamond!!
Same here.
Done and done. I went with manual for a more ‘connected driving experience’. Can’t wait to get it, and get it dirty
Nice features …how to choose which trim ???

Haha! All good things come to those who wait! 😂
I said the same thing.... Aftermarket lights or I'll just purchase the halo lights.
How’s it perform off road with those tires?
Sweet!! I've ordered the Black Diamond and so excited when it arrives some time in October. Woo Hoo!!
What tire size and brand? Thanks!
is there a 2 inch leveling kit it still looks nose high
Besides the disconnecting sway bar, what is the difference of the drivetrain between the Black diamond and bad lands? In some videos I’ve seen it was said the the badlands has the strongest pinion gear out of all the other models?
I need power seats, which model has them?
Can you add front lockers without the Sasquatch package?
It is possible, but will be costly. You would have to make sure both axles have the same gear ratio.

Dang how much does that usually run ?
IMHO the Black Diamond is best value trim package. I didn't want clothe and I didn't want to pay for leather, so I opted for the Black Diamond w/ Sasquatch.

I cant afford a Bronco, I need a pickup as a daily so this would be a fun weekend vehicle. I thought the Black Diamond was the one to buy
What was the cost of the build?
The Bronco is level from the factory. Not sure what your leveling kit does.
Sorry for being a noob. What the heck is a leveling kit and how much is it to get that with those tires?
I wanted the BD because of the MGV interior, but after realizing it only comes with a 8in screen I changed to the Badlands.
Does the wheel offset effect the Ford Warranty ?
Great vid!! Do you happen to know if the letters on the base are also removable?
I would assume they would be as well. Might want to check with either Bronco6g or BroncoNation for someone with a Base.
Is that an oil slick under the Bronco or AC runoff?
So does T.C.Customs have color matching letters and rooftops in stock yet? Cant wait to see some great color combos from y'all!! I love my Lexus but damn starting to lust over a bronco for my daily driver.
at 8:06 is it leaking?
Probably ac
Is the ride changed at all with the leveling kit?
Is Ford allowing Webasto to just throw these tops together willy-nilly? It’s becoming a real concern for reservation holders.
Very good point, Ford really needs to tighten up. I was anxious for mine to be delivered but now I am glad I dont have it maybe they will correct the problems before I get mine.
Base is the most underrated. Best value without the gimmicks.
So can you not put the license plate in the front of it has the radar for crash prevention.
