If you're cross shopping Subaru Outback, Rav4 TRD Off Road, Cherokee Trailhawk, etc it's a nice option. I also think a lot of people are going to walk into a Ford dealership looking for an Escape and drive home in a Bronco Sport. It's a nice option but not an enthusiast's car or something I'd...

" Data on the topic tends to support this conclusion. J.D. Power’s Vehicle Dependability Study often ranks first-year models at or near the top of their segments for 3-year dependability. On average, the last few Vehicle Dependability studies prove that first-year models don’t fare any better or...

They might not, you'd be looking as 35/12.5/18s that require about an 8.5" wheel and 255/70/18s are seem to be designed for 7.5" rims. The tire width range for KO2s in 255/70/18 is 6.5-8.5 inches according to tirerack.

Another thought: 2D Base model is $200 more than Wrangler Sport but 4D Base model is about $1600 more and comes standard with automatic. So if you assumed a theoretical 4D Base with manual would cost $200 more than a Wrangler Unlimited Sport, then the automatic transmission would cost $1400.

Pretty sure it doesn't fit on the Ranger chassis.

As of now, there is no soft top offered for the 2 door.

That's silly. Expecting to be able to get every single off-road goody in in a package on the base model defeats the purpose of having multiple trim levels. The thing they did wrong here was essentially imply you could get 35s and lockers with any engine/transmission combination. That was the...

Ground clearance is head scratcher for me. The 8.5" is the base model on 30.1" tires, the 11.6" as far as I can tell is anything with Sasquatch. The Badlands has 32.7" tires, the Squatch tires are 34.5" Going up from base model (32.7-30.1/2+8.5) is about 9.5", going down from 35s is about 10.5".

I'm gonna go with a hard no on that one. They benchmarked the Wrangler in towing and payload, they'll probably do the same with GVWR. So 5300 lb range.

Auto in a Wrangler is $1500-$2750 depending on engine. I can't imagine the auto+2.7 will be less than $2500, I'd guess closer to $3500. So like $2000 for auto and $1500 for 2.7.

Backup cams are required by law and they all have grid lines, maybe the package gives a different view?

This or let your budget decide. Any SUV will get you down a dirt road with appropriate tires. A base model with 'Squatch will climb a mountain. Anything else is just gravy.

That's pretty misleading to send a tricked out custom job as one of your main press vehicles, especially when those customizations imitate an available package.

The orange 2 door in all the press videos/photos has a manual and is sitting on 35s, presumably the Sasquatch package. This means they literally showed a vehicle configuration in the launch that they won't sell you.

Thank you, look awesome.

As of now the 2 door only comes in hard top, so the 3 different tops might mean hard top 2 door, soft top 4 door and hard top 4 door. Car and Driver has an article about removing the doors and tops and there's no mention of multiple hard top styles. I'm sure different types of tops will be among...

Area 51 is not loading for me and that's what I wanted to see lol. Our first camping trip after moving to Nevada in 2004 was in Rachel so when I saw Area 51 I knew I had to have it.

In specs it lists the 10 speed as standard in the 4 door Base model, but the manual is standard in Big Bend, Black Diamond and Badlands 4 door.
