Jeep may not be Toyota level reliability but having owned three Jeep Wranglers (TJ, JK, TJ) and two other Jeep products (Liberty and Renegade) they are far better overall in reliability and quality than the three Ford products (Mustang, Econoline, Exploder) I have owned. Course, none of them...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/2020-ford-adventurer-baby-bronco-everything-we-know/ar-AAEU7Gy?ocid=spartandhp In one paragraph it states Ford said they were targeting the Wrangler and then immediately follows on with IFS! So much for lifting the Bronco for greater suspension articulation...

Well, that is boring enough. MEH. Another jellybean. Maybe they got help from Toyota on that. I mean, Toyota is the top dawg of boring, maybe Ford is going for that generic market with this new jellybean.

Do y'all remember the Liberty. It was available with a common rail diesel for a short time. My wife had a gas one, my sister the CRD. Both had 5,000 pound tow ratings. My wife put 300,000 trouble free miles on it and yes, it got to tow the 4,000 pound BW a number of times. The boat would push it...

Lifted, high clearance vehicles with generally a more narrow track and shorter wheelbase needed for real off-road maneuverability and duty generally make poor tow vehicles. It is not a matter of horsepower strictly speaking but one of stability. If the Bronco is going to quote Ford go toe to toe...

Photoshop with 31s is all you will do. This is clearly a unit body front wheel drive platform. I have lifted three Jeeps Wranglers, a CJ and four Toyota trucks. The Jeep Wranglers are literally built to be lifted as is the CJ. The 86 Toy had a SFA and lifted easily and functionally with OEM...

Yes, you are right there, because it looks a lot like the old Ford Escape, the original one. So perhaps they are just using a grafted on Escape body for drivetrain testing. Hopefully that is not the baby Bronco body work under that cladding.

Howabout a Novocaine. That would be a good name for a vehicle which I am fearful will be nothing more than an original Ford Exploder (they did make a two-door) with a big sunroof.

Thing is there is nothing here not already in the market. It looks like my wife's Renegade. So if you are a Ford guy you would get this instead of one of the other cute-utes? I guess that is the plan evident here? I assume the actual Bronco is the family trend setter/leader for the new family...

If I only take my new vehicle, be it a Bronco or a Wrangler, off-road 5% of the time, that 5% of the time it will need a SFA and I will want a SFA 100% of the time regardless.

Any color is better than the current invisible color, or lack thereof, just saying.

Hey Ford, not to pick on you but perhaps a little more effort into delivering an actual, real off-road vehicle on a showroom sales floor before I die and a little less time brainstorming cool names for fictional vehicles you cannot build would do you well.

Nothing here to see, move along. Looks like a jellybean crossover with big tires. If they seriously aimed that crossover station wagon/mini-van at the Wrangler they obviously have poor eyesight and are terrible shots and are pretty clueless as to why the Wrangler owners will laugh at that...

Yes, the base Wrangler is pretty bland, except it has solid axles, a convertible or removable top and doors that are easy to remove. And it has the approach and departure angles, ground clearance and inset belt-line and compact exterior dimensions need in serious off-roading to make it a blank...

Stripped down, nah, purpose driven, and functional, yes. But a Line-X interior option would be nice. I had my Rubicon Line-X sprayed on the interior, works good. Then I did the snap out Bed Rug flooring. And a configurable Apple/Android (pick your option) dock with integration would be much...

Bronco Mike, I hear you bud but, removable convertible doors and roofs are not rocket science, if Chrysler can figure out how to do it (well, I guess AMC really figured it out for them) then I think Ford probably can. Maybe? Yet to be seen. There already is a full size Bronco, it is the...

Thanks for the input, lol. There is some sort of disconnect going on with the renderings for whatever reason. OJ is not in the market for a Bronco, I would bet on that and I am not in the market for OJs Bronco either for that matter. Yes, trees are good at removing doors and rocks like to bash...

Vehicles have gotten way too large, too wide, too long, too heavy, too bloated. I hate the Kenworth look, gigantic chrome grills and low hanging bumpers and air dams. My garage is a three car, it is huge by any standard and yet a full size truck will not go in it and leave me room to open the...

Can somebody please explain to me all of these non-congruent renderings? Ford has stated that the top will remove or have removable panels and doors that can be removed. We also know the vehicle is to be Ranger based. So, then, why do all of the renderings show an OJ style, full size vehicle...

New here, Wrangler/Tacoma owner. I voted mid-size. Dear Ford, I am very interested in the Bronco but if the top does not come off, the doors cannot be removed (easily on and off) and the front axle is not solid then I will have no interest in another rolling entertainment console jelly bean...
