Anything mid package or above has heated seats, so there’s already power run to the seats there, not sure why power adjustable would then all of a sudden make it non wash out capable. Switches for the adjustment can be waterproofed, wiring can be waterproofed and there’s already at least some...
It’s not remote start, it even says next to remote start on the package “available only with automatic transmission” which is a typical thing when remote start is thrown in a package on any vehicle that had manual trans option. And it’s available on badlands with manual, as well as high and lux...
I’m seriously wondering why the eff ford even bothered developing a new manual transmission if they just keep undercutting it at every corner. First only making manual trans for the smaller engine, then there was no manual Sasquatch, finally they gave in there but now you can’t even build and...
Been trying to decide exactly this for awhile now. Love the bronco, but likely won’t be getting one unless they up the tow cap.
Before the bronco I was considering the gladiator, and now that broncos basically out for me the gladiators back on the considerations, but that one has some drawbacks...
I def wouldn’t compare Mazda/ford to gmc/chevy. Mazda and ford are separate companies just combining for a vehicle to sell under each, like fiat and Mazda with the spyder/Miata or bmw and Toyota with the Z4/Supra or Toyota and Subaru with the BRZ/FRS/GT86. Those are all the same vehicles under...
Yea my current one sits even closer than that I think, almost no shank shows between the hitch and the bumper , that’s why I said depends on the brand. But it’s still usually a bit further than a standard hitch. Not sure what brands my 2 brother-in-laws have, but they both stick out a whole lot...
No worries, you can make it work ;)
On a bit more serious note, it’ll really depend on brand of hitch, some stick out further than others. And they do make hitch extension pieces that add another like 4-6in coming out. Weight distribution hitches tend to stick a bit further out, least the ones...
Looks like the biggest difference on a few bronco trims is just paying for the ability to pay for more stuff. If you want all the new tech you gotta get higher trim before you can option it. I mean base bronco is basically just lack of ability to add any factory packages except Sasquatch. Black...
Jeeps with half doors ain’t a new thing, OEM or aftermarket. The biggest difference is the bronco doors are designed to be frameless so don’t need to get a second door and no need to carry a soft half door top piece to seal it up, just roll up the window. So unless they’re redesigning the...
Curt is the only manufacturer page I’ve seen that flat out says class 2 is a 1-1/4 hitch receiver. Every other brand I’ve seen says class 2 hitch is “usually” 1-1/4in square receiver. That usually being the operative word, it doesn’t have to be, and having a 2in doesn’t automatically make it...
That just means ain’t plug and play right from ford, doesn’t mean you can’t do it. And if you can’t figure the wiring on your own I’m sure there will be some company selling a pigtail to make it plug and play real soon. Seen that on many many vehicles to swap lights or even just to change the...
The 10 speed in the Silverado(and Sierra and like 10 other GM vehicles) is basically the same transmission the Broncos getting(and in about 10 other fords). Ford and GM developed them together. And the diesel Silverado’s and Sierras get an Allison transmission, I’ve never heard anybody say...
It’s marine grade, splash some cool water on it to cool it off, then wipe it dry with a towel and it’s cooled off a lot faster than a cloth seat that’s soaked up heat. ;) And won’t absorb and hold your sweat like a sponge.
The bigger benefit for cloth is not sticking to the seat. Which is the...
Depends where you are.
If you’re at a Jeep rally with a bunch of drunk Jeep owners it might not be safe to say that, someone there might take them as fightin’ words. ;)
Everything below badlands has the m190 front axle standard with m210 available, badlands and up the m210 standard. And no it’s not part of the squatch package. As for price, no idea til build and price I guess...
Yea that same article has been posted in another towing thread on here, and at the risk of sounding repetitive I’ll summarize my responses from that. For the most part nobody’s expecting or wanting gladiators tow cap, and most of the struggles the gladiator faces shouldn’t be issues in the...
The ranger has 16 in rims and 7500lb tow cap. Raptor has 17in rims, 34in tires and 8000lb tow cap. So ford has brakes that’ll work for well over what most want the bronco capabilities to be increased to, and being the bronco is based on the ranger it may have just been assumed by many it would...
