I am an engineer at a very large company and I'm sorry to say the focus in our design is sometimes shifted to ease of manufacturing and assembly. We sometimes tend to forget serviceability and durability down the road for the customer.
Any modern engine seen naked like this will look more...
There was an article about a Jeep owner who drove through mud and covered the alternator in mud. Jeep says warranty won't cover it. Now, Jeep Wrangler's alternator is up high on the engine, not sitting down low like this Bronco.
Interesting read...
The sound deadening headliner looks better than the after market ones. The reason being because it is formed to the ceiling shape and doesn't leave any blank uncovered areas like the after market felts. (y) I still can't figure out why you can't have this headliner when you go with the 2.7L...
I have a feeling you will be just one of many who will come to this reality when the time comes to finalize the order and sign the paperwork. I'm also contemplating the same myself even though I could make it work. The more I play around with the calculator on the B&P website the more I...
Not an urban legend...
Just do some research on the engines with the single or dual turbos and the 10 speed transmission right here on engine discussions. (or Google). You'll find many issues with premature turbo failures (some below 50K miles) and transmission shifting issues.
I have not...
Yeah, at first I didn't notice it, but now I see the price increase. Even the Wildtrak I planned to buy is now over $60K !!!!
Way too much. I will have to wait couple of years to see some rebates and below invoice pricing, otherwise, no Bronco for me either. :cry::cry:
Build and Price page is still buggy and incorrect.
I click on Top - Modular Hard Top, Shadow Black-Painted ($1895) and the top on the Bronco gets removed in the photo.
Then I click on the on the "i" info icon next to the selection, it shows the Top - Modular Hard Top, Shadow Black-Painted as...
It's perfectly understandable, but the web page said these are estimated prices and options and everything shown is pre-production and subject to change. You'll never know how much you'll actually end up paying until order banks are ready and all options are known and firm when you sign on the...
Yeah, I don't get why so many people are upset. The Bronco wasn't a cheap truck to begin with. Now $3K more, so what? It's not that bad over 84 payments of around $800 or so a month....
But, seriously I guess the biggest change is on the Sasquatch pkg for those who were adding it to some...
"" ... Ford reserves the right to change product specifications, pricing and equipment at any time without incurring obligations. Your Ford dealer is the best source of the most up-to-date information on Ford vehicles."
The last part of the statement is what really kills me!!!! The dealer is...
... But wait, I priced my build again today for my Wildtrak and it looks like the price may have come down slightly (I'm not sure, but I think the same config was closer to $59K before).
$57,655 with roof sound deadening, paint protection film, LUX pkg and leather interior.
Maybe Ford wants...
Here's a green color everyone's been asking about and it's available now (doors and top will be late availability in 2024).
Where can you get this now?
Just as a fun item search Amazon and you'll see different options available, including white top and matt grey (looks really hot).
This video shows the Cyber Orange color better than other videos and photos I've seen to date (look close at about 00:23 mark on the video)
I have two concerns after watching this up close on 65" screen:
1- what's the sound deadening headliner material made of? It looks kind of cheap as it...
I'm sure those people who can't get one in 2021 will appreciate those who will drive around for almost 2 years and find any issues they'll have with recalls, leaks, etc. ? ?
I will be watching to see what Tesla comes out with as they offer the best batteries so far, but I'm sure Ford will be offering an electric hybrid of Bronco in a year or two. I don't think hydrogen will take off (even though Toyota still makes hydrogen hybrids), because electric is cheaper and...
