Hi guys,
Does anyone know the track record of which vehicles have had the same model of 2.3L and when they started getting it? -Just trying to make some inferences about sample size above 100k miles, odds that most long term dependability issues have been sorted, etc.
Thanks,
Dan
I just placed an order for a new Bronco last month, and thinking there is a good chance I will not receive it until late 2022/2023. The one question I have is if it gets to be August 2022, which I think is likely because of the listed constraints, should I contact my dealer and change my order...
Hey Guys,
I ordered a 2.7L simply because the gas mileage looked to be almost identical to the 2.3L on the 2D BL, so why not spend the extra money. It seems like the 2.3L was 1 mpg better on city, and 1 mpg worse on highway the the 2.7L for the 2D BL. Now that I am reading about the possible...
Hey Guys,
With the soft top price increase for 2022, I was thinking of going aftermarket with Bestop. It looks like it is no longer a Ford accessory, but Bestop Trektop(only one they are offering on their web site with FastBack look) is a lot cheaper and they offer one in twill($1700-2D) and...
Hi Guys,
I was guessing that the BL models, with MGV, do not come with carpet floor mats. When I go to order the liners, it gives and option for with or without mats for the same price? Does that mean they also include carpet floor pats just in case you like them? Clueless on this
Thanks,
Dan
Hey Guys,
I have had a couple of Jeeps and love having the top down even when it is cloudy, etc. It was just so nice to not worry and if you get caught in the rain to just pull into a gas station, grab a small bikini top(front row only and takes up almost no storage room) under the back seat...
Hi Guys,
I am planning on ordering a 2D BL on Wednesday. I am thinking that putting the MIC top on/off is probably a 2 person job, and probably not practical when adding/removing every few days for rain in the summer, but if anyone besides Shaq has managed to get under it, on their head, etc...
Hey Guys,
I know that with the towing package, both the 2.3L and 2.7L are rated to tow 3500lbs. I am planning on ordering a 2D BL non-sas on Wednesday. I also want to buy a 3000lb pop-up trailer that goes up to 3500lbs max when loaded, and will have 1 person & luggage in the Bronco with me...
Hey Guys,
I understand the hardtop dramas and have not ordered a new Bronco yet. I will get a 2D Bronco when they are available and would like to take the hardtop on/off by myself(pretty big guy). I have had Jeeps before and know how difficult it can be, but I will try to buy lifts or...
Hi Guys,
I saw a thread the other day about someone starting the Bronco with the doors off, seatbelt off, and getting tons of messages, etc. I know it is crazy, but I am somewhat similar to the duke boys from hazzard county in that I never use doors when the weather looks good for a week, etc...
Hey Guys,
I saw a Bronco 4d pass me yesterday in the daytime with the top off and the headlights were on. I am guessing those are always on, but I am a little old school and really like to minimize the UFO look in the daytime when on spy missions, stalking my ex-girlfriend, etc. I am probably...
Hey Guys,
I am looking at a 2D Bronco and have always really appreciated having a locking lid that was at top of tailgate level in the back of previous Jeep Wranglers. Nothing that sticks up or sticks out, but just something that goes across the area behind the back seat and keeps people from...
Hey Guys,
I am looking at the 2 door with Lux package. I have read the sound upgrade is not the best, but what about the space? When it mentions 10 speakers I am not sure if that means extra speakers attached to frame/roll bars or built into frame/roll bars. I am trying to get an idea if the...
Hi guys,
I am planning to order a 2D Badlands(non-sasquatch). I have had a couple of jeeps before and even though I love having the doors off, and do so whenever I see 4-5 days of clear weather, I more often leave the doors on and lower the top with the windows down. Just so much easier to...
I have read that the Bronco doors only fit inside the 4 door Bronco as the back is not wide enough on the 2 door Bronco. If anyone has been able to cover the doors and put one in the backseat and one in the very back of the 2-door, etc. please let me know. What about transporting hardtop...
I have had a couple of Jeeps and kept my top down a lot. Sooner or later you are running errands and it gets cloudy and you run in somewhere longer than you thought, or go to a movie, etc and come out and it has rained/raining. With MGV that is not a big deal, and with normal convertible that...
Hi Guys,
I was just in the dealer and wanted to place a new order and they said a couple of things I wanted to check on. I was going to order several months ago, but saw the issues with the tops(really wanted the modular), and wanted to actually see the size of a Badlands with 33" tires on it...
I still have not ordered a Bronco because I really wanted to wait and see them first. My dealer is telling me that they are being told by Ford that soft tops are recommended and going to be filled much faster. If that helps me get one in 1 year, instead of 2 years, etc. then that is what I...
Hey Guys,
The Bronco shows a tow capacity of 3500lbs, but I would love a future option that might tow a four or 5000 lbs. I did notice the tow capacity is the exact same for both the 4 and 6 cylinder, so I am guessing that is all the frame, suspension, etc. can handle? A lot of this is...
