The back seat isn't 3 wide like the ranger, just two seats. More headroom for sure.. and side to side seems definitely roomy enough. Apart from that... there's just as much legroom as in the ranger... but mabey not quite as much foot room? There's a wierd hump on the rear floor at the base of the back seat... right where your heels would go.. So if someone with big feet is sitting behind someone with the seat back a bit.. seems like they'll either have to wedge their toes underneath the front seat or 'high knee' it and rest their heels on the floor hump..
I have a supercab an my friends always bitch when I drive but they're the ones doing all the drinking! The SC is 2 wide too just no leg room so an adult has to pretty much sit sideways like the last gen ranger.

Muffler delete is indeed louder in cabin than it was on the Ranger, but.. like the ranger... really only during acceleration. At steady cruising speed you can't tell anything's been done to the exhaust.

I'm happy with it. I'm many years past the point in my life where I enjoyed having a deafening daily driver.. but a silent daily driver is no fun..

For 136$ shipped to my door, this was the perfect way to give the Bronco just the right amount of sass. 👍👍


Interior pictures will be coming soon!

If you change your mind about the delete, I can attest that the Borla cat back system is a perfect pairing for the 2.3. Just my opinion but it's definitely the best sounding setup compared to others.

Congrats on the Bronco!

I'll preface with the statement that I AM NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER! Any "good picture" I manage to take is sheer dumb luck lol. I'm sure none of these could be considered any at all GOOD.. but I hope they help at least 😋

In the last picture (might have to zoom a bit) you can see what I was trying to describe about the rear foot room/funny hump.. Licence plate for reference. That Seat is most of the way back though. There's all sorts of front leg room.. so I don't think it would be too hard to adjust the front seat enough to strike a good balance of comfort between the front&rear passengers.

About the drinking buddys though... the back windows are fixed... so you might want to keep some sort of "catch basin" in the vehicle.. just in case 😋

Nice TARDIS! With that much interior space it definitely feels bigger on the inside. I sat in one at a local dealer and I though I fell into a pocket dimension.

Definitely more room than the ranger!

Currently getting better fuel economy than the ranger too... almost 23mpg last time I checked...

Seems wild to me. Its 700lbs or so lighter than the truck.... but its a complete BOX lol. Same motor, trans, gears, wheels, and tires... MORE power.... but near 20% more efficient..

I'll take it 🤷‍♀️

Oh yeah.. So everyone knows about how small the feed for the airbox is on the ranger correct?

Look at the size of this MF! Big enough to fit your whole willy whacker (or ditch itcher) in it.

Way easier for the motor to breathe.. easier for dust to get at the filter too though 🤷‍♀️ I change every 25k.. unsure what the prescribed interval is for this.
