That is a nice feature. I'm only in Michigan, but that is one of my favorite features on her explorer lol

Ive just heard issues with the waste gate/bypass valve rattle. Supposedly nobody makes a repair kit. If I was going to replace the turbo. I would upgrade a bit anyways. Lets be honest. The bronco is going to have major aftermarket support.

I would love the 3.5 NA, thats whats in my wifes explorer. Its a very reliable engine, and although its not a powerhouse. The HP liter is pretty good. It could easily be tuned for 300hp and 260ft lbs or more. In a vehicle weighing under 5k, that would be a good setup. I'm not against ecoboost...

I agree, on the price being a factor. But its been said it will start higher, but end lower on the price scale compared to jeep. I won't be surprised if most are 4dr base models. The high end ones will catch peoples eyes and bring them into the dealers. The styling and high msrp reality has to...

I know. But I've noticed everything getting derailed. Figured everyone could use a post to vent a bit.

The point of this thread is to get a baseline for everybody to be on the same page. Not everyone is going to be happy with the final product. But it is what it is. ***What we know, or at least have strong indications of being true*** Ok, so we know its all but confirmed to have IFS, a solid...

Changing the entire windshield surround is no minor change. Thats integral structure for a unibody, which this isn't. 5 lug vs 6 lug, solid axle, clam shell hood vs standard. I could go on, but you get the idea. **edit** Pretty sure those photos are at almost the same exact spot.. weird...

I thought similarly, SO I went and tried to chop a few things up in paint. Looks better if you cross your eyes a bit. But you get the idea. I chopped the padding off the roof, and the inch or two of foam they put on the hood. Others are far more skilled than I.

Can't remember where i read it. But the godzilla 7.3, is physically significantly smaller than the coyote 5.0 in width, slightly smaller in length, and i think it might be a touch taller. Either way, if ford did put it in the bronco. I will sell everything I have to buy one. Luckily I dont...

HAH! Somebody got it! Thanks boss, made me laugh.

Yep, thats why I mentioned having to import axles. Ford COULD do it. Make a SFA variant of the bronco, but just because they can, doesn't mean they will.

Another idea for our ford lurker.... Offer a special warranty. ***30k mile 3 year, abuse included warranty coverage. We'll stand behind what we are building. Its tough, if you can break it that quick, we'll fix it.*** that would bump initial sales quite a bit.

If ford is here and lurking. Somebody will figure out a way to put a solid axle under it if you don't. If you are going to do it, make sure its more stout than the dana 44 too. That'll give you some serious off road cred. Honestly, instead of trying to import axles, the HD dana 44 kit for the...

Yes, and a built in winch, rock sliders. Throw a mini fridge with a latching door and drink holding mechanism in it too. gonna need the beverage to wash down the crazy pills we are taking :D

What if... and its a big if.... The "rock monster" we keep hearing about, is a 7.3 gas v8, with super duty axles? I would sh!t my pants.... lmao sorry, random thought. Anyways, yes, a truck is invaluable. Whether its a home depot run every few months, or hauling something for that friend thats...

I'm a use case for the 4dr, I've got 3 kids and 110lb chocolate lab. 2 doors and no space for the wife and kids, no go. but we enjoy trail riding and traveling to those trails. I'd like to be comfortable.

SFA big V8 are the only way I'll buy one. Needs to have 14k tow rating too... Oh and a manual automatic. Oh and it needs to be under 25k. :crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:

Ok, things I see. ***educated speculation*** Mirrors are on the A-pillar .see photo 8 No frames around the windows like the mustang Pan-hard bar, not a watts link LOTS of excess cladding over the front, makes it look off. Spare tire appears to be attached to the gate, which tells me, swing...

Keep in mind NAIAS has been moved to june. Could potentially be a reaveal or be the star of the show. Just food for thought. *purely speculation *

that better? not very good as I did it in paint. but I think thats more realistic in length.
