02MustangGT Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Interesting “fact”... https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2021-ford-bronco-specs-price-release-date-trims/ ” The Bronco's doors are aluminum, and they weigh 54 pounds (front) and 43 pounds (rear). Bizarrely, that means they're actually slightly heavier than the Jeep's doors, but their smaller size and built-in grab handles should make them easier to operate. “ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window glass, latches, handle, panel, weatherproofing materials. I'm going to guess they used a thicker window than Jeep to help with wind noise with the windows up and roof on.

bzcat Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 6 minutes ago, tbone said: So what is built into those doors making them heavier? Just a guess... maybe size? Bronco doors look a little bigger to me. According to the Jalopnik, the doors on Wrangler are 47lbs and rear doors are 34lbs. I don't know if they weighted them but that's what they published in a story a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 So I took the time to render the 4 door/white top/grille one they showed in all the available colors. Enjoy! I know they're not exact, but they're probably pretty close and at least give a general reference to the colors.

jcartwright99 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Am I the only one that wants to see the regular steelies or more street wheels on these? I love the look of the big tires but no Sasquatch package for me. I am interested in mid package Big Bend. I feel like every real life picture has big tires. i 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Big Bend reserved, and I really like the aluminum wheels it comes with. I think the steelies look great, too... but I don't care for the "flower petal" alloys you get on the OBX.

I wonder what those are? It seems like you can either get a steel wheel, or a Jeep knock off wheel, neither of which I want. That’s half the reason I want the Sasquatch package.

T-dubz Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 ive been wondering since they showed the white top and grille if they would look good a white body. I think that looks pretty good. Storm trooper bronco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) The Ford website has a 360 colorizer so you can see how the 2 or 4 door looks in any color. The colors look pretty accurate too. Scroll down about 2/3rd down this page and its right there. https://www.ford.com/suvs/bronco/2021/?intcmp=brncobrand-learnmore-reveal-bronco Edited July 15, 2020 by Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I need to take a look at that again...might have a repeat of my SHO wheels LOL I was planning on just getting new wheels down the road, since I don't need the Sasquatch package on mine.

My son is working on his 74 and he has elected steel wheels. I've dragged my 68 out of the barn after 20 plus years and he is bugging me to replace my chrome wheels.

With the white handles, you should keep a black Sharpie handy, in case a BON member gives you a VIN # to autograph,,,, HRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
