I'm with you and mountain roads and trails and forest roads aren't rock climbing. I have less expensive toys that will be used for that and they're much less expensive to fix with their plastic bodies and less expensive parts for rock climbing and riding for fun in the open air. There's not...
True but but given the fact we don't know what tires they were running and if they knew to air down it is what it is. They did have weight in the rear of the truck but they finally made it after getting some mo and picking a little different line......... I'll bet Emmy Hall could have driven...
Ok here you go but if your a brand loyalist you'll hate me. You can buy one of the old 2 seat teryxs and put some chicane STI tires on it (Bigger) and go have fun for less than 15K brand new!! The Kawi's are built like tanks and their new one is a real winner (best built frame ets) if they have...
They took my raptor comparisions as it's what's Fords going to build and that's why I tried to explain it in vain. How many times can you say varied terrain and ride quality. I too owned Grizzly's (GREAT UNITS) and have pulled more than a few elk out of the outback loaded on them. I tried to...
I have one in my garage that cost less than 6K USED and it's been up and down every single trail in Moab several times. So .......... You may be talking to a guy that may know a little more than you thought...LOL You can put tires on many SXS out there and do Moab for a portion of the cost of...
One other thing I'd like to point out to you guys that are stuck on SFA is this. All of the more capable SXS that are being built today are IFS designs and they do it all and they do it easily and will go places most of you wouldn't even consider and ride like a dream. That liability you guys...
As a guy that owned 4 of them in the days when you could buy a locker front and rear locker from the factory I know full well what they'll do and used them to their fullest. You seem to be missing my point too because I've modified jeeps and used them as well. I modded a jeep liberty and we...
You guys are giving up.........Come on I know I rained a little on your parade but that's why I stressed the platform to you. If they give you that and it's adaptable, a lift and some AArms and some good shocks and guess what you just picked up what you thought you lost, I could be wrong but...
Thanks again Ox what we saw going up the gorge is more tan most of them will ever see in their lives. The fact it can do that shows what they're shooting for. As to the mud where i live there wasn't that much mud in the bottom of lake mead when it was really low,,,,,,,because our climate dries...
Nice job posting up that video because it points out how Ford will target this vehicle. That RR did it and it just had to work a little harder. If they give us an adaptable platforn we all can win with what we want. The aftermarket & Ford can offer products designed to enhance the vehicles...
I hear what you're saying but the reality of the situation is that they make profit in numbers of vehicles sold not individual use specific items. i'm the guy that wrote both posts you eluded to about the f150 and your quoted post, and understand what you meant. The special build market is doing...
UOTE="Nanook, post: 17603, member: 1855"]Let’s also be honest that the BabyBronco would have passed THAT off-road testing
[Q
Yes but they're making a teaser video and if they show too much it gives the other guys a better idea of what's coming......You could have taken a f 150 on that test and...
Hey look at the bright side at least we know it's had some off good off road testing and it's not going to be just another highway mall crawler SUV! I'm sure the rock crawling crowd will be disappointed to some extent but the majority of us will be fairly happy with it's capability and lets be...
What I've noticed about bundling today in vehicles is that they use engines choices to drive the buyers to higher trim levels which increases their profit. In effect they have the XLT available with all engines but trim levels below that can't buy all engines type of marketing strategy. I'm...
You're not being morbid, but I've had more than my share of sands running thru the hourglass.......seen more than my share of sunrises and ain't quite ready to see my last just yet until I've owned one last Bronco........ but lets hope the good lord and my wife finds it in their heart to give...
Good point but everything is subject to change when the bean counters get involved and they (TFL) want to see this as much as we do and if they throw a bone at Ford about more power and an engineer shakes his head in agreement they run with it...........You know we all want it but what we want...
