I have a 22 Wildtrak and I have issues with slow, downhill stops as well. Honestly, it was one of the things that I changed my driving habits and have learned to avoid. It has been a while since I noticed it as a result, but when I first bought the truck it did scare me as I attempted to stop...
I really feel like this is just a return to normal. Vehicles all lost 1/3 to 1/2 their new value in 3 years. It has always been this way. And that 1/2 off won’t include ADM. So the most impatient of you will lose more than half.
COVID and shortages and 0% interest rates al combined to grossly...
The answer to the OP's question is, Ford would build a solid top if the R&D and manufacturing costs were justified by the take rate and what people are willing to pay over the existing top options. My guess is they did a market analysis and determined the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. You...
To answer your other question, 33s or 35s would both be drivable from an acceleration point of view. With 33s I doubt you notice any difference. With 35s you will lose a little acceleration, but it will still be very drivable.
I had a fox setup on my jeep. The standard Sasquatch bilsteins on my bronco. The bilsteins are stiffer, but overall I’ve been pretty happy with them. Mine handles well to me. Takes corners well. Only thing I might change is to make it a little softer.
I just wondered if this is something I can have done by a mobile tech or if I will have to arrange to have the Bronco left at a dealer to do this. Does anyone know?
Yeah, it’s a bronco wide thing. I said earlier I think my Wildtrak isn’t worth nearly what they MSRP for now.
Raptor just being top of the line is the most out of whack.
I never said there was no increase in price. As a matter of fact I said it should slot in about $70k, which is about $30k more than a base and $5-$10k more than a badlands. Seems pretty reasonable to be considering the net increase in costs over a Sasquatch setup.
Yeah, thats sort of my point. I like my Wildtrack. I paid around $55k for due to price protection and dealer selling at invoice. I feel like even at $55k it was a really poor value. I think comparable models in 2024 MSRP closer to $65k, which I think is grossly overpriced as well.
Frame - Stiffened frame from standard Bronco, negligible cost increase
Suspension (all of it - from knuckles to bump stops) - negligible cost increase
Engine - Negligible cost increase.
Axles - These are quite a bit beefier than standard, probably $1k-$2k cost increase for Ford
Steering...
