Would you attempt that in your Ranger? I know sure as hell I would not
Maybe after watching someone in a pick-up do it right first. Body panels aren’t cheap. I think he should have taken a line further away from that rock face but they may have been more interested in “the shot” than they were in making it through that section cleanly.

After just driving the Bronco off road today there's no comparison to any pickup, not even the Ranger. I love my Ranger but the Bronco with the Sasquatch and Bilstein shocks just glide over bumps and washboards. My girlfriend who was in the back seat said even she was impressed how well it road. Ford hit a home run with these! I ordered mine with the 2.3 but after driving the v6 twin turbo it's a must have. Now if they can just get them out there more will be able to experience how great they are.
There is a nice cactus gray Sasquatch near me for a decent price, but I honestly do not think it will fit in my garage. That sucker is tall especially with the optional roof rack they installed (It has the bumpers with winch as well. Nice package). I am not about to leave a $50k+ vehicle sit outside...

I don't blame you I don't want mine outside either. If it's a good price you should measure your garage opening and see if it'll fit. The roof racks come off easily, they're just clipped to the sides. They do look huge and with 35's it's deceiving but it should fit. IIRC it wasn't much taller than the Ranger and it would've fit in my garage (7' opening) with about 4" to spare.

Yea, I might give it a try. The value for my Ranger is currently more than what I owe. Not a fan of the roof rack on the Bronco anyway. Its a two door as well, which is very nice. It would be VERY close for me to get it in there though. I have a large single door and the driveway is up a hill so the vehicles have to go up and then transition pretty abruptly to level. Looking at the specs for that model it is a good amount taller than an FX4 Ranger. I would have to measure it in person for sure.

The Bronco is actually at list price and even with the added accessories is not a bad price for what you get (360 degree camera, large screen, etc. etc.). $54,650 (that includes destination fees, etc.)

The 2019 Ranger FX4 is supposed to be 71.1 inches in height. I have 32" tires, so I am closer to 73, but that is still almost 6 inches more for the Bronco Sasquatch without the rack (or that could be with the rack and that is what 'maximum height" means).

That's a really good price seeing as most dealers are adding huge markups to them. I was lucky enough to drive a full loaded Wildtrak which had the 360 camera and the 12" screen and they're really nice. Especially when you're going up a steep incline and you cant see over the ridge the camera comes in really handy. The side cameras will show both your tires on the screen for when you're crawling over rocks. It would be nice if it fits it's a great vehicle and would be a lot of fun.

See Adam a whole post without any bashing. ?

If I remember when we bought the house this summer, I measured an actual 83" of usable height with the door up, but the approach angle is what scares me. I could always test drive it to my house and see if it goes in. Lol. I live like 5mins away.

At the bottom of the chart it says add 3.622" for the roof rack. I'd take it off if it'll fit without the rack. :)

Yea, its the same situation as with my Ranger when I found it locally. I actually found one on a local lot with the exact package I would have ordered. Crazy that it has happened twice.

An extra $200 a month in payments is hard to swallow in this economy though...
