True, Rubicon is a high end trim, but it starts at a base options level with the Rubicon hardware. I "built" a Rubicon on their website with just the basic options I would want and it ended up at just over $41k.
Of course, start adding options and it can end up upwards of $55k.
Was really...
I too was wondering why the driver appears so small and looked up some wrangler specs to compare:
Two door Wrangler:
Wheelbase 95.4"
Width 73.7"
Height 72"
Two door Bronco with Sasquatch:
Wheelbase 100"
Width 79.3"
Height 78.9"
The Bronco has a 4.6" longer wheelbase, is 5.6" wider, and 6.9"...
Maybe I missed something but...
- Soft top not available on the two-door
- The manual transmission is not available with the with 2.7L engine
- Sway bar disconnect is locked behind the $13,595 Badlands package
I was hoping Ford wouldn't have the typical options shenanigans but my hopes are...
Pleasantly surprised so far. Two doors, lockers, sway bar disconnect, 35s... hopefully available in a trim package that's not 20k over base. Fat chance of any kind of pricing released today?
Not sold on the new Bronco, but it has the following going for it:
#1 - Gladiator 2-door not available
#2 - Bronco 2-door will be available
#3 - Gladiator 2-door not available
#4 - 34.4" tires a stock option
#5 - Very limited options for Tacoma 2-doors
#6 - Wranglers are overpriced
I am looking...
