I went with the MIC and will go with an aftermarket soft top. In other threads, dual tops were listed as one of the deadly sins and I have a very very early reservation that I don't want buggered up if possible. I have an aftermarket Best Top and a bimini for my 1983 FJ40 and love them...
I have a 2020 Ranger and pulled a loaded 8.5X16 TVR Enclosed Trailer from Birmingham, AL to Dallas, TX with no issues at all. Personally, I am so confident in the 2.3 that I ordered a BL with it so I would remove one of the deadly sins that would hold up production of my Bronco. Now I am only...

Based upon your desire for technology and a daily driver, I would go with the Bronco. I have a 1983 911SC Cabriolet and a 1983 FJ40 for fun with the top down, but there is no way that I would have either of them as daily drivers. They are completely restored and drive great, but the everyday...
Just for comparison. I have a 2020 Ranger 4x4 with a 3" Ready Lift Leveling Kit And Grappler Tires 285/70/17 and I have no problem doing 90 mph in complete comfort. Given that the Bronco was built on the same platform and the ranger has the 2.3 eco boost, I think that you would be fine unless...
Okay, I went through the first 7 pages of this thread and then the last. I have a possible theory that I haven’t seen yet. If this theory is already out there, I apologize.
