It will be going to wildtrak and fe orders first for those that want to wait. It came with those models prior to them realizing they would have production timeline issues due to the interest. It will be available at a later date for parts counter and vehicle orders. Probably 2022.
Get the lowest ratio. I’m getting the 4.7 because the few hundred rpm difference isn’t going to heard in a vehicle like this. I don’t know if I’ll ever upgrade tires to a larger size but if I do I know that the effective final ratio of 35s will be 4.46 vs 4.11 if I keep it with the stock ratio.
I believe they will fall in line with the wrangler. That is, as long as they don’t throw incentives at them in the coming years. The wrangler tacoma and 4 runner don’t need incentives to sell. Therefore not devaluing it more.
Different subject.. but I’m waiting on a replacement running board for my super duty under warranty. 3 months so far. Apparently they are on constraint for the new ones as well. I think parts counter availability is very far out from when they hit the production line. (mod tops) Unfortunate for...
I agree. Job 1 typically have things that get dropped year after year. Tops flares lifts tires wheels insulation roof racks seat covers will all be available after the fact if your build cannot have it installed due to weight restraints. The vehicle is built as it is due to marketing. They want...
Short answer yes. Long answer.. They will probably only be available on outer banks and above. I’m sure they will fill the fe and wildtrak orders first that wanted the tops. Due to it being a feature of those vehicles before they realized they wouldn’t be able to fill orders.
I too have towed varied weights with different vehicles. I agree with your points. I wasn’t trying to argue them. I wish I could tow my 5000 pound camper as well. It would enable me to travel without my truck and be able to explore a little deeper. A tow package substituting some capability...
Have you ever towed that much weight with a small pickup? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. In addition the direct competitor is not the gladiator it is a wrangler. The longer wheelbase of the gladiator Tacoma etc make it more able to tow larger but it is still not wise. 80% is a...
There won’t be an increase of tow capacity. You have to realize that structurally the max tow has to be able to be done with doors off and top off. While being an off-road vehicle. In addition the highest weight of the bronco including payload is 6700 pounds. If you add more tongue weight you...
Area 51 in person is great. I don’t know what it would look like with the hard top and a black rear window though as the overland concept had the one off window inserts.
Look how long the rear window is on a 2 door compared to a 4 door. Sorry to burst your bubble. Modular refers to bolt on add ons that generally any shade tree mechanic can install.
People need to do there due diligence. I said it a number of times.. most people don’t order vehicles. I’m used to it. I am putting money down, signing my order for them/me and doing the contract. I believe between trade ins not having proper documentation and ignorance people are going to be in...
I agree Toyota/Lexus resale is great. Partially because they don’t devalue the brand with rebates and discounts. It’s just business. Having something to bump you from base 2.7 squatch auto to a better deal at getting a bd 2.7 non squatch auto.. etc. Their reasoning is based on bottom line. The...
On a 10 year old platform. Toyota is reliable but boring. Their new one will be better I’m sure but not doors off top off better. They are completely different vehicles. I would be remiss to pay their price for what you get.
All I’m saying is that people don’t order cars on a regular basis. They (Granger/Dealers)don’t want the extra headache of handling 1/4 million dollars if they have 500 orders at 500 a pop. When people back out they will want their money back now. It may not happen as quickly as some would like...
I can’t speak to their integrity. I believe it can be looked at in 2 ways. 1) They have faith and integrity in this order process. 2) This process from ford is unorthodox and they do not want to deal with the order deposits if/when people drop their orders. They will have to unwind the deal and...
The reason for no mid and manual is simplification. Because the manual is such a small take rate they want them to be minimalistic. That is why they didn’t have intentions of a squatched manual.
