Thanks for the photos. The two door especially with these wheels and tires looks kind of disproportioned. Kind of weird, but it reminds me a lot of my Bronco II I used to have in the same color.
From your response, it doesn't seem like you really know how hybrid electric works.
You can just carry a can of gas instead of a generator, because you won't be able to charge the electric batteries with a generator that you could carry.
Also, prices are becoming more competitive no pricing...
No doubt this will happen regardless of those who deny it now, but do you really think the new Bronco engines will even last 10 - 15 years? I hope so. :)
There will be many more choices by then. I'm sure Bronco will have a hybrid or fully electric model in the next few year (that's if Ford...

Just sharing another option for those in four wheeling. You can try all you want and bad mouth Jeep however way you want, but Jeep has been around for a long long time and it has a huge after market and owner base.
Now that Bronco isn't available until mid...
Yes, I think in about 5 years most SUVs and trucks will have electric options.
No doubt Ford is already in the early stages of design for an electric version or at the very least a hybrid-electric version of Bronco.
Having one that is fully electric will be awesome! Saves a ton on...
You can charge it with your engine or plug it in. Just depends on your driving needs.
So if you're going to just drive it in town for a week, you can plug it in and use the battery power only without using the engine at all, but you always have the engine as backup (and vice versa if you try to...
I had a Wrangler JLU also and I know the problems they had, but the only problem I had before I sold it was driving down the freeway and having to adjust steering more when compared to when I was driving a regular car and some questionable frame weld, which were due to robots not doing the weld...
The new Wrangler 3Xe. Electric and Electric Hybrid is the future.
375 HP
470 LBF Torque
50 MPGe
0-60 MPH in 6 Sec.
25 Mile range in full electric power (Selectable power modes)

The Grand Wagoneer is a total beauty.
The new Jeep Wrangler 4Xe - Hybrid Electric is now ready as an option. Just imagine 4wheeling, rock crawling, or camping out in total silence and saving the gas for on the road.
Here's the reveal video:
They were slightly improved in 2018, but the basic engine architecture and design is the same. They all combine the water pump with bunch of other components (see IFC below). If you have to replace the water pump the entire front of the engine will have to be removed (as you see in the...
Does either 2.3 or 2.7 engines have auto start/stop feature and can it be overridden?
Would one have to override the start/stop every time they start the engine?
I had this on my Wrangler and had to add an aftermarket device to disable it.
Thanks
I have a friend who's an engineer at Ford and he believes they always over engineer their trucks.
Of course, that was speaking of F150, 250, 350, and larger trucks.
The only thing that makes me more nervous than anything on the Bronco is the longevity of the engines on the Bronco. I'm...
I can just imagine what that would do to a tiny 1.5L engine stressed out already with a turbo. (Wear it out fast). I used to have a Chevy/Geo Metro with a tiny 1.3 L engine. :)
