Probably depends on the trim level you are comparing. I drive two Toyotas also. The Tundra SR5 has an interior that is closer to the Bronco although it is holding up well with 100k miles on the odometer. The 4Runner Limited interior materials are noticeably better than the WT I test drove...

You forgot to mention all the overlanding stuff strapped to the top and sides of all those “offroad lifestyle segment” vehicles. I really like that phrase…ha.

You’re right, I didn’t test the Bronco in terms of its off road capability. I tested it more so in how 95+% of my use will be. So the only thing I’ll disagree with you on is its merit as a daily driver. For that use, it is not as good as my 4Runner Limited, to ME it just isn’t. And perhaps...

Absolutely, yes. I’m not advocating 4Runner over Bronco, particularly if you want a top off, doors off experience. I only used the 4Runner as an example of an interior that is higher quality compared with the Bronco I test drove, at least in my opinion. Not long ago I went to the dealer...

We drove the same vehicle. Your picture makes it look like they washed it since I drove it. It was pretty dirty, inside and out, when I drove it. Glad you and your wife liked it. Just goes to show that things like noise are very subjective. I thought it was noisy compared to what I am used...

Yes, oops 4.7. Not sure what I was thinking about.

Not sure if this was directed at me but I do agree with your statement about why people buy a vehicle like this when they don’t need the capability. As a matter of fact, that was sort of the point of my post. The test drive got me to ask myself whether the new Bronco is what I really need at...

Actually I’m considering my next project a 2G Bronco (78-79). I think they are way under appreciated. There are tons of aftermarket available and a bit easier to work on than the EB. Without a body lift, the EB can be a PITA underneath. Only problem is in Arizona, anything after 1974 has to...

Good question. It’s been 4 years since I drove/sold the resto mod ‘74 EB. Somebody made me an offer I couldn’t turn down. Let’s just say I made enough to purchase a 2021 FE. I turned almost every screw on that build. One of the things I did was install a lot of sound deading. It was...

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check that out, seriously.

Wildtrak is by definition a SAS. Therefore, it has the 4.7 rear end with locker. Edited to show 4.7 rather than fat fingered 4.27, oops.

Would really like a manual tranny. But I would have to teach my lovely bride how to drive a manual, which might cause me to end up in divorce court.

My reservation was late enough to get 99ed to a MY22. Therefore, the dealer needs me to re-establish m order. Not sure I’m answering your question. Just going by what the dealer has asked me to do. I will be indicating the exact same order.

Yeah, I’m planning on one of the Off-Rodeo’s in the fall. I’m originally from Austin, so I thought about going to that one. But I can drive to Vegas so it’ll probably be that. Your idea is a good one. That would give me more time in the Bronco than I had this morning.

Ha, the Excursion. That’s too big even for me. I like the Expedition and have given it some thought. One thing I have yet to work out is whether my vehicle absolutely has to fit in the garage. Obviously that was a concern with the Bronco. The Tundra fits (barely) so a pickup technically...

Good question. I didn’t comment on the size of the WT. Just by looks, it has about the same cargo capacity as the 4Runner. But sometimes even that is not enough. One of my bike groups often heads to northern AZ for mountain biking excursions. We’re normally camping and the 4Runner is...
