Definitely the running boards, they should be immediately relegated to the garbage where they belong.

Hardly the fault of the tires 🤣

I’ve daily driven 37s for years, it’s very little difference from driving stock. The old belief that 35s+ are not daily driver worthy is based on the old super swampers. Get a modern set of 35/37 All terrains and they are hardly different than 33s.

I have to catch you on something. No one buying a crossover is giving off any appearance of ruggedness or capability, they are glorified minivans down to the uni-frame and carry that stigma. Back to what your saying, the maverick sacrifices the car like maneuverability and car like fuel economy...

Are you talking about the Sport or actual Bronco, the previous conversation was about the sport which is unibody and nothing like the Bronco.

What trim level did you go with, I was set on the XLT but I’m seeing people leave the dealer with Lariat 7.3L for less than 60k. I’m also interested in the new 2022 upgrades they previewed which might push back my decision.

Doesn’t matter much, the 2.7L before this truck left me stranded near Chicago with a turbo failure. Still waiting for my first turbo failure on the 5.3l...

By your own standards a small utility trailer would be better for the vast majority of consumers. If the fuel economy numbers match the Bronco sport than its not going to be a huge upgrade MPG wise over existing trucks.

🤣 You can call it whatever you want, it’s what I achieve time after time. The penalty of course is that the 5.3L is the weakest V8 on the market.

The 7.3L Tremor is the only competitor I’m considering against the Bronco.

So you agree it’s not a truck substitute? If a consumer doesn’t need a bed very often why keep a vestigial bed around? It’s easier to just buy a cheap trailer to pull behind the crossover. Im only comparing price to Frontier because I see people make a big point of the price. If I were in the...

You’re driving an LS based 5.3L, try an LT based where they actually designed the engine for CD and the engines have DI. Totally different engine designs. On my trips to Memphis I regularly have a 100 mile stretch where the roads are flat and the speed limit is 65 where the truck edges over...

Did we go back to talking about turbo engines all of a sudden? GMs fixed the cylinder deactivation issue with the LT series engines and their V8s are perfectly comfortable getting mid 20s on the highway in 4 door trucks.

No I said it was old and outdated, still perfectly capable of passing all US government regulations. The original statement was as follows “Trucks have gotten very expensive to the average consumer. Most suburban truck shoppers that want a bed to throw mulch in and take debris to the dump...

It weighs between 3,400-3,700 lbs, it’s gearing is not low nor would it need to be with 29” tires. Regardless you don’t often see gearing numbers for front drive vehicles. And it is fairly aerodynamic and extremely low to the ground. If my 5.3L V8 4door 4x4 WT can get 24-26 consistently on the...

Last year you could buy a new Frontier for less than $20k. Weak and outdated but a true truck frame with a well tested and extremely reliable and simple drivetrain. Wasn’t enough consumers for it to stay. I’m not sure how a Escape with a 1.5L and a bed is suppose to do what that Frontier...

It doesn’t help that there are fools willing to pay $50k and be stuck with a V6.

An actual mini truck would be nice.

I have no trouble getting anything I want passed here regardless of emissions laws, I’m just trying to remember how it’s SUPPOSE to be.

While I agree the new Ranger is ridiculous odd in design that makes it unnecessarily large - I can’t imagine how the Maverick could bring anyone back to the Ranger. It’s still much larger than the 2nd Gen Ranger. It does not have the simplicity that the Ranger was known for, it’s not as cheap...
