The 4XE looks interesting for sure but is it offered only in 4 door? Also when the battery runs out then I have a feeling the gas engine is not going to be that powerful. The hype is kind of hard to get through.
Mine is with Bill Pierre in Seattle. Have not heard anything from them but really it's early days. I am sure they move a lot of cars so selling some Broncos is probably not high on their radar right now. It will be but not quite yet when even build and price is not out. I have never owned a...
I have three bikes. A Giant gravel bike which also does double duty as my road bike. A Santa Cruz Megatower mountain bike, and a Santa Cruz Heckler eMTB. I am 63 and have been riding eMTBs with some hard core guys in their early 70s and it's tough! My first sport is running and it shows. I...
Well yeah I am thinking about that because I am going from a 30mpg Subaru to a ? mpg Bronco. At the same time the technical challenges of making a useful hybrid or electric vehicle for serious off road overlanding are beyond what anyone can do right now and still sell for a realistic price...
I keep coming back to Area 51 because for me it works well with the black roof and fender flares. Cactus gray is also nice, but for me it will be Badlands, Area 51.
Very good point! I am 6'2" and my wife is 4'8" so a massive contrast. So far all of our cars fit both of us which is surprising. I am expecting the Bronco will to although I will be the primary driver. The one car that did not fit both of us was the Smart for Two. It fit me but not my wife...
I bought a Subaru Crosstrek last January shortly after I retired. Bought it to haul bicycles and planned on a lot of forest service road driving. I've done that, but didn't take long to realized that something a little better suited to challenging off road would be better. Can't bring myself to...
Ordered a Porsche 991.2 C2s in October 2016. This was after test driving a used 991.1 C4. Took delivery in June 2017. Still have it. Love it. This was the first year of the 911 engine being a 3 liter twin turbo. Zero regrets. Just got back from a road trip with my wife. So fun!
Great discussion! I was wondering this about the Bronco too. 300lb tongue weight. OK. I have been hauling my Husqvarna FE 501s with one of these: https://ultimatemxhauler.com
I have been doing this with a Subaru Crosstrek. My hitch has a 500+lb tongue weight limit but the car is listed as...
Honestly no way I would go for the mid package. Lux all the way for me:) Gotta Sasquatch in style to keep my wife happy. Looking at a well equipped Badlands 2dr. Still waiting for build and price but with all the price leaks it probably won't be a big shock.
I am more interested in the tongue weight rating. It would be nice to have a 500lb rating on the Bronco. I just bought a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier. My hitch is rated at 500+lbs tongue weight but my Subaru Crosstrek is rated at 200lbs.
The weight of my motorcycle+carrier is around 300...
I am impatiently waiting for build and price but not even looking at anything else since I decided on the Badlands. Once build and price is online it will probably take me about 10 minutes to build and price and see what the price will be and whether I will want to pay it.
Going 2 door because of the shorter length. I enjoy my Subaru Crosstrek in town and did not want anything longer. Also I think the 2 door looks much better!
I have only leased one vehicle and that was a pretty expensive Porsche 911. Running the numbers, if I leased and paid off the remainder in full at lease end, the cost over a car loan was not terrible. We leased because we were not sure if we would still want that car after three years since we...
Nice parts. If I end up getting a Badlands, will slowly add some extras. Winch for sure and that tailgate door looks nice. Extra lighting probably not. Roof rack maybe.
If my dealer tried something like that they would instantly lose a sale. I would think that Ford is very interested in getting non-Ford customers to buy the Bronco, so mandatory additional pricing is NOT the way to do that. I have never owned a Ford, and before the Bronco there is zero chance I...
