Bronco Hybrid Confirmed! by Ford CEO Jim Farley (4/2/26)

Really? I actually like a lot of it but hate the hybrid system as any power it adds is offset perfomance-wise by the extra 650lbs it weighs (when compared in the 4Runner which has hybrid and non hybrid versions). And it removes a lot of cargo space.
Also all the hybrid Toyotas have a warning in the owners' manual saying to not cover up the battery vent holes in the cargo area, and to make sure not to spill water back there as it could short the batteries!

I like a lot about the LC also but not the hybrid system, the one I test drove was not very seamless. The GX550's V6 was much better and is the way I'd go!

Seriously? 10% weight difference is enough to feel it in handling. If it's really that much then it's officially for people who don't want to enjoy.

Yes, seriously. On the upside it takes up cargo space and also is thousands of dollars more expensive….

Ouch, that's some upside
