Gladiator is an unmitigated sales flop. Why follow failure?
Let the Ranger Raptor scratch the small off-roady pickup itch and the Maverick the cheap pickup itch. There is no need to delve into every single segment of the market. If everything is important, nothing is important.
The law of probability says that the marine grade vinyl will be superior to Ford leather. Look at the pictures of pre-production Broncos with leather, the seats are already wrinkled and the trucks are, what, a month old with a couple hundred miles?
Ford leather is awful stuff, like those...
LoL at thinking a photo of a 4-door Bronco looks good. They designed the 2-door first. Then, after lunch, they made a 4-door because the bean counters told them they had to.
My Defender has it and i hate it. I disabled it about a week in and have not turned it back on since. There is some weird thing about the focal length of the screen vs. reality that messes with my eyes and overall decreases safety and awareness for me. Tech is not always the answer. Now I...
For God's sake people, these are modern turbocharged engines. It is all in the boost map that the factory writes. All this talk about cam timing and exhaust routing is moot when discussing this engine. The engine is the same as the 2.7 in an F-150. It makes less power and torque in the...
Marketing. They have a long term strategy of Broncos running the gamut from $29,995 poverty spec that can be advertised at $299/mo leases all the way up to some Ford Performance Super Warthog with ridiculous power, suspension and tires. Oh, and ridiculous price to go with it. There will be a...
You know, just about a soon as a given Porsche model is confirmed for the N. American market, it hits the PorscheUSA configurator with a 100% locked in set of options and pricing. We're talking stuff like 5 options for wheel finish, custom leather bits in the interior, etc. The interface is...
Nobody here has any idea what kind of engine is in that Bronco. It is a brief video filmed from far away in sand. How well or poorly each vehicle does from a dig is dependent much more on available traction and much less on engine power.
Oh, and Raptors are not that fast. I know there is a...
New F-150 broke cover, what, a couple of months ago? Already $2500 on the hood. The domestic truck market is so stupid with their Wal-Mart pricing strategy. Was $52,990 Now $50490! Those stupid trucks will have $5,000 rebates in another month.
No automatic transmission on the planet adds 600 pounds to a vehicle. Unless you are toting an extra in the bed. Those weights are totally wrong. And since when can you get an F-150 with the 2.3L?
edit: I checked, you are wrong. Automatic adds 20 pounds. You are reading the spec sheet...
It is still totally legal to sit your fat arse on top of your Bronco in sad-looking undeveloped suburban cul-de-sacs. However, you might not want to do it in the middle of the road.
