If it’s like any other vehicle on the road, the difference will lie in the dampers and springs (coilovers in this case). You may have different control arms with BL and/or Sasquatch, but I highly doubt it. Not to mention, a tubular or billet upper arm will probably be part of most higher end...
Thanks Zach. I do really want my Bronco, but I’m driving a 20 year old Land Rover, and I really don’t want to mess you guys up if I end up having to cancel because of a way later than expected delivery.
No idea if this will get a response, but here’s my conundrum:
My reservation is 0830, 15 July. The percentages you listed - are those just for July or the entire period for Ford’s initial calculation? If the latter, it looks like I’m a MY22 buyer if everyone goes through and gets something...
I think the 2.3L in the bronco is going to be a better engine. The 3.6 is a workhorse and very reliable, but the 2.3 has 50 ft lbs more torque, and is easily tuned to add 75+ more.
I agree though, the manual 3.6 is a fun little mill. I just hope the shifter and clutch feel in the Bronco aren’t...
The Mopar lift is $1495, plus install if you can’t wrench on your own. But they’re stupid easy to install on a Jeep.
Wheels and tires are going to have A huge range depending on what you want. Figure around $3000+ for 37’s.
SFA isn’t all that bad. My 20 year old Land Rover does just fine on...
The 2.3 is very similar to the 2.0, and has more torque. I have no doubt either Bronco engine will be just fine. Gear ratios in the autos are similar as well.
Adding to my original post:
I got a quote. The big dealer who does big Wrangler deals is going 5% under invoice in the 4xe. There’s a few forced options which I would get anyway, and a forced painted hardtop ($2495) which I would not have wanted.
So my total with tax and their processing fee...
