How could we possibly know? We dont even know how much the new-from-ford top costs.

Totally.. I mean, why even have rear seats in a 2door? can anyone other than kids even get in there? :))

Seems like a good idea. If you forgot to reconnect and went out on a highway (especially curvy ones up in the mountains like where I go) it might be a bit bottom-clenching.

Its large and body on frame and built to handle tough offroading. That means heavy.

There may be differences in 'lift' depending on the version of the bronco you start with. They may even give an option for a lift on top of the lift the other packages have added. We dont know yet if different sized tires will be a separate option vs the sasq package.

Had one go death wobble right next to me on i-70 but luckily I saw it and braked out of the way and there were not many others on the road.. that thing swerved pretty quick and had to bail to the shoulder.

Every 3-5k miles depending on your schedule. Spare stays roughly the same diameter as the others and you spread the wear out slightly more so they last longer.

Duratracs do ok on snow (like actual snow) but pretty poorly on what we typically have here in CO (ice or thin slippery layer). I recently got rid of my old daily and only run my 4x4 now so I'll probably end up having to get winter tires for it. The same will probably be the case with the bronco.

The crawler gear will help a lot with the traditional problems (slipping the clutch) but you will still have to do some of that especially if you stop moving. I'm glad to see the bronco has that as an option though.

For me a manual is for track driving in a sports car. Using them anywhere else, including off-roading, just makes you work harder. Modern autos are so good they can do everything you'd ever want to do off-road and without dealing with a clutch.

The spare on the back may get a bit more UV than the tires on the ground but it isnt drastic. If you are rotating tires properly (including the spare) there is no need for a cover. It would also block the rear view camera on the Bronco. The only way it could really work would be to only cover...

A fridge will kill the battery in very short order if it is left on when the engine is off. However, in many cars there are power outlets that are not tied to that (or you can fairly easily add one). I havent seen anything on the ford system other than we have a 110 outlet.

Here in CO if you park in Denver county (not in a private lot like at apt or grocery store) you'll probably get a ticket every single time. Its annoying and expensive. The main thing in any state is to know your rights. Getting pulled over for a basic traffic offense (like missing license...

I really like it but I fear I could not deal with a dark colored vehicle. They show trail pinstriping so badly that I would just be constantly annoyed.

Thats because people dont know how to read a sound meter. A ~3 db increase is double the sound energy. Also, they might have had non-standard top types. i.e. the basic plastic shell vs the an insulated soft top.

Yeah, less moisture means less variability in pressure and nitrogen is slightly lighter than oxygen so theres some, probably very minor, benefit there. It is pointless in road cars.

2door might be similar to an FJ, 4door would be closer to 4runner. (height being a separate issue, the bronco is a bit taller). I wheel my Xterra in Colorado where many trails are pretty tight w/ rocks or trees very close and it hasnt been an issue. I think the bronco will be similar.

It doesnt seem 'huge' or anything. Its slightly wider/longer than a standard Xterra (though probably similar to mine since I have an offroading bumper and the spare on the tailgate like the Bronco does. The height of it with 33's and hard top is also similar. Its not a small vehicle but not...

Nitrogen in a tire is such BS.. Regular air is already almost 80% nitrogen. There would be no benefit to that in an SUV (not to mention the first time you air down for offroading its gone). The only benefit is reduced moisture but even that only really matters for racing.

We've seen pics of black (or dark colored) hard tops and white hard tops. I would think either of those would at least be an option. Not sure on other colors.
