This is my advice and my thought process at this current point in time:
Narrow down what you actually want out of the vehicle/ How are you actually going to use it and what do you want included with your vehicle?
My next question, in your list of options what are items that are absolute musts...
Yeah, that was one of the early leaks lol. Well we won't really know what will happen for the Ranger for at least another year. I'm assuming that the interior will have a lot of updated stuff from the Bronco, but I think the only exterior leak that seemed most plausible was the one dealing with...
I agree with most of what you said. From my own research I'm finding conflicting evidence that the next ranger will have influences from F150 rather than the Bronco in terms of outer appearance. But Ford has literally said that the Maverick will be a Unibody pick-up (more than likely using the...
My dealer told me that Bronco orders aren't going to start until at least December. Due to that time frame I haven't asked my dealer about the specifics of the ordering process yet (probably won't ask until early November). As for a specific deadline I haven't heard of one yet, but my plan is to...
The definitely tried to cram too much Z history into this. I think they would be much better off if they had just focused in on the original 240Z and worked from there. I definitely agree with you that there are 90% there.
I live an hour south of the newly built Holly Oaks ORV. I planned on building my Bronco to be a Pseudo-Raptor, something that can handle off-roading (high-speed + rock crawling + trail driving). The end goal is for it to be both fun but livable. The biggest question up in the air for me is...
The best resale of each trim will be the 2.7 until a hybrid comes out (not sure if hybrids will change the off-road resale landscape). Basing assumptions of the Jeep it probably won't matter all that much between 2 and 4 dr as they are both at the top with a pretty marginal difference. The auto...
If I needed a pickup to do pick up things sure, but the Bronco will be my DD as well as my toy. Even if the Bronco has a cheap plastic interior, in my opinion it will still be better than the 'new' ranger. The ranger at its core is still from 2011 and even its Lariat trim level still reminds you...
I've had the luck of test driving both engines in the ranger and F150 respectively. Honestly the biggest things I got out of the test drive was that even though the 2.3 should be more fuel efficient due to its smaller size, I was basically getting the same fuel economy with the 2.7 even though...
The only thing I've received from my dealer was a confirmation email that they received my reservation and that Orders would start happening some time in December.
I went and reserved my Bronco the other day after spending a lot of time lurking on this forum. Like many, the Bronco will be my first off-roader and I wanted to get input from the community in regards to what I want to do with my build. First and foremost I'm planning on getting a 2-door BD...
Just make sure you don't get the leather upgrade and you're good. But even on the official press release and on the website, I don't think they said the interior was fully washout to begin with.
So before the pandemic I had the chance to test drive both the 2.3 in the Ranger and the 2.7 in the F150. I did both checks based of the inboard computer so there will be a margin of error but with my driving habits (taking manual control of the gearing and going through both various kinds of...
