You pay the tax where it is registered. You could register it in a low tax state if you have 'residency' status there but wherever you actually live may have laws regarding that. In Colorado you have 90 days to register your vehicle in-state. You cant legally have an out of state vehicle...

I'm hoping they're just built better. But I fear that eventually the rubber seals will begin to break down and not seal properly. Not an issue with a permanent roof but that likely will be a maintenance issue at some point on these. The clamps could get lose over time too, not sure how easy...

I dont think any Jeep Wrangler has a permanent hard top, or if there is an option I've never seen it. For me, not removing the top isnt just about the outside temps. Here in CO the UV is pretty bad so having the top off would be quite uncomfortable. There's also the dust which is significant...

It seems unlikely (for the big bronco) since that'd require separate body stamps etc. I dont plan to ever remove the hard top so I'd love that option but it seems unlikely.

No useful info there. What is the MPG of the engine w/o the hybrid? How far can that go on a tank w/o the battery? How many miles does the battery add? You can go close to 700 miles on a tank in an F150 already if you have the largest fuel tank.

I wouldnt want it. The extra weight would not be good for offroading. They also often only get 1 or 2 mpg more than the similar power level ICE.

No, it should not cost more. At the very least the standard black and white tops should be available to anyone regardless of trim/paint selection. I could see it costing more for body colored since those are painted.

If you have to add a heavier bumper to add the winch, sure it could be something you want stiffer springs for. We do that for xterra's since we'd have to add a 60+ lb bumper for aluminum or 150+lb for steel to accommodate a winch. You need stronger springs to keep things riding right. The...

Its a very capable vehicle for what it is, but I still would want the big bronco. If I was after a 2nd vehicle that is perhaps more comfortable but still can do offroad things then maybe.

It wouldnt be the first time the manual trans option prevented other options from being selected. Subaru had that issue for years. You could not get higher trims w/ a manual.

The Bronco windshield doesnt seem overly 'upright' to me. If you dont follow big trucks and dont tail-gate in general it should be fine.

It was actually a radiator issue. In the 2005 to 2010 xterra's the radiator could fail and mix coolant+trans fluid and kill the trans. They fixed many of them over the years (my 4x4 club was 80+% xterra's so we were quite familiar with that issue).

Normally you would be able to get a rough idea but this is a little bit different since the order can be placed before production has started. It may be January sometime before a rough delivery timeframe could be known.

Depends on the offroading I'd say. A typical easy trail would be fine since you would not be stressing the engine/drivetrain. The bigger issue for break in is not doing things like hard starts or long distances at constant RPMs. Obstacle crawling probably would not be a good idea at first.

You'd be lowering it by 1 inch not 2. The 10mm (less than half an inch) of movement up into the wheel well would be far less useful than the extra inch of lift.

I've not used Carvana but I did use KBB twice and it worked well. As long as you are accurate/honest about the condition, specs etc it can work well. Basically, fill out the thing online and select a nearby dealer that works with them and off you go.

From what I've seen the "Modular" just means the windows in the rear shell can be removed without removing the rear shell itself. I havent seen any other difference. (not withstanding color choices, which we dont really know about with any certainty yet)

Up-travel isnt really the thing you need so much. You need ground clearance and droop. For the fronts it wont be noticeable since they are IFS. For the rear the up travel on the offside could slightly impact the droop on the other, but it wont be much. 10mm is less than half an inch, that...

For a daily driver it can be fine but you definitely would not want to lease a vehicle like a bronco if you are going to use it for offroad etc. There's almost no way you'd have the vehicle in the right turn-in condition at the end of the lease.

It'd be useful here in CO too for winter driving. I love AWD cars here for that time of year. (there's not usually enough uniform coverage of snow/slush on the road to use proper 4wd)
