When I get mine I am having the pillars PPF applied.
Do you know if there is a template for measurements of the BS's for the PPF? I spoke with an auto wrap group that had been recalling not seeing those measurements within his software tools just yet. I was curious, lmk. thanks!

The shop I went to, Hoglunds in Everett WA had the patterns for the BS in their system. They have an NC machine to cut the vinyl from the plans. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Front, handle cups, door edges, window tint, and they also applied the Ford rear bumper protector for me (cuz it must be applied at 65 degrees F or higher and that doesn’t happen here until July).

Could you please show us some pictures?

I would say my biggest complaint so far with my BB is the steering wheel.

Compared to other compact SUVs I've driven such as the Nissan Rogue or Jeep Renegade, they were both thicker and larger. Made the vehicle feel bigger than it was. This BS is screaming for a similar style steering wheel. One reviewer's best guess is it's size was set this way to save cost, but it is the most pivotal touchpoint in my opinion, and from what I've seen on youtube, even the Ford Escape's looks larger.

I have the BB package so mine is leather-wrapped, but I'm thinking of wrapping it again just to make it feel less toy-like. Is that crazy?

Am I the only one who feels this way? Ha!
Just get one of those slip-over wheel covers at Walmart or wherever, makes a world of difference. There are all kinds of looks and feels, find one that's just right for ya.

Which one did you buy if you don't me asking? You liking it better with it?
I got a cheap one from Walmart. It is padded, so it made the wheel quite thick. I've gotten used to it. I plan to get one of the leather covers that you stitch up yourself, probably this spring. They aren't expensive or anything, but I am fine with what I have for now.

Well. I finally visited a dealer that had one on the lot. My fat ass was not impressed with the seats, and my back wasn't impressed with the support on the base model seats. The info panel also is annoying to me, but I'm also not used to them.

Think I'm gonna take a step back and wait for some other competitors to be on the market, and then take a fresh look at everything in the fall.

Yeah I find the seats perfect. For me.
5' 11" @ 160 pounds. Plenty of leg and head room front and back..
But,,
If I was a big boy, wide load style I'd pass on the Baby Bronc.
I can see where a size 48 waist might not fit well.
I do believe it would not fit me so well if also built to accommodate corn fed and country raised...
I'd bet the Big Bronco will hold more.
:'P

I've been thinking the same. I am down to my 2WD truck now, but winter weather is basically over in my area, and I have time to hold off and see what becomes available this year.

I would have maintained my excitement and engagement longer had there been more granularity regarding options.

I'm not that big, but.. yeah... It's probably something I could get used to, as I'm not hitting the door or anything, but coming from my Ridgeline, it's not the ideal fit. (And to be fair, the Sport has better seats than many of the competitors I looked at).

Also need to sit in a BL with the power seats to see if that helps at all to adjust the feel.

Other thing for me is waiting for my work to define what the new normal is. If I continue WFH 4+ days a week it opens up more options, but if I go back to the office full time, and gas headed to $4+ a gallon and sitting on the 405, well, some hybrid might be in order.

Yeah my base, up down/ fwd and back. But not the angle of attack...
I assume power seats would have tilt ? Raises the front seat edge or drop the back..

Unfortunately they do not, that would have been great. The 8-way is really 6 when you take 2 of those for lumbar support. They go up and down, fwd and back, and then the seat back tilts forward and back, then you have the lumbar inflate/deflate. would have loved the tilt.
