Showed it to my wife. She wants one.

I think we're getting another Expedition. FML.

Are you on the hook to buy it now or can you get your $100 back if you change your mind?

Brains · Jul 14, 2020

If anything you could probably sell your reservation

Nice option package.
I look forward to the review.

Went with the Badlands because it is the highest trim you can still get with the manual, and comes with lockers and the better suspension standard. You're probably going to have to wait a whole year or more before I actually get my hands on it

Maybe they'll let me test drive a demo model before then.

Yesterday was OJ’s birthday and Ford released the new Bronco. Too bad it wasn’t white, but that’s racist.

Color me intrigued.

No his birthday was 09, the moved launch to 13 as a result.

Vehicle exceeded my expectations, given the Blazer abortion.

Ford can go shit in their hat. What are the improvements they're offering? Wheels that fall right off at 100,000 on the nose?

Edit: Looked at the pics. It's like Jeep and Toyota had a mentally defective baby.

Really? This the most capable 4x4 in 35+ years. Go look at the spec sheet for all the improvements and features.

Vaquero · Jul 14, 2020

I might.
In 2022. Always wanted a Scout. This is as close as it's gonna get. With ac.

No V8,absolutely not interested in it.

Nobody else offers a v8 in that class either, though Jeep announced a Hemi yesterday for 2021 models.

So, what are the hp, and torque numbers from the original V8s?

ETA: It appears even the 2.3 numbers are greater than the original 302.

2x and it weighs half as much. I hate ecoboost as much as the next guy, but it seems to deliver decent numbers.

No love for First Edition?

He will make more money selling it with 5 miles on the odometer. But he has to front the $40K.

While not apples to apples, folks in my AO are making double on new corvettes, and 3x on Mercedes G wagons.

I like it, although no straight axle option like I was hoping for. Got to have that option for serious off-roading. Give a straight axle Bronco with a diesel and I'll be all over it.

It's been 40 years since Ford put a solid axle under the front of anything but a 1-ton truck, so that was a big hope.

TTB is why I went with K5 Blazer and not a Bronco back in the day.

Serious off roaders will rip that IFS out anyway, and likely would not have wanted a factory axle anyway.

As capable as this is, 99% of owners will never take it off road.

Nope. Automatic only.

I get it, but a solid axle conversion is a much bigger project than an factory axle swap to get a more capable one. Who wants to dump another 10-15k just to accommodate an axle swap. This before you get to suspension.

That's why there are very few FJ cruiser solid axle conversions done. It's a ton of work, lots of welding, cutting and moving stuff to make it work.

When they're touted as a Jeep competitor, I would expect options to make that possible. I bet it's a bit of a pig too, making it top heavy and easy for roll overs with IFS.

The whole appeal of the Bronco to me is that it's a brand new body on frame SUV with a manual, tho...

I’m the opposite, I like body-on-frame for off road.
