Why would they render the thing with obvious tire wear from f*cked up wheel alignment? lol I hope the ball joints on these things are up to the task of 35" tires. Uneven tire wear and inability to hold an alignment are not issues I'm going to tolerate on a $40k vehicle with IFS. Toyota has this...

I'd be ordering a standard base model if they had just given us the option for lockers as a stand alone. I actually prefer the steelies over any other wheel offered, and would be happy with some 33's if I could just get lockers or even had the option to install lunchbox lockers. Instead, I get...

I would if they hadn't welded the ring gears to the diff carriers. But I'd be putting in lockers within the first few weeks and adding some bigger tires. Unfortunately, Squatch looks like a pretty good deal if they knock the price down once they start offering a manual with it, considering all...

When I first made my reservation, I talked about the Bronco ad nauseum, and it was all I could think about. Then some things happened, and I no longer had a down payment. Then worries about whether I wanted to commit to another car payment in an uncertain financial environment in the wake of a...

I know I don't need 35" tires. But I also know Base with Squatch is the cheapest way for me to get front and rear lockers, which I do insist on if I'm going to spend $35k on a new Bronco. I've been wheeling with lockers way too long now to go back to getting stuck with one wheel off the ground...

That's not a bad idea at all. We will see how things play out. I am somewhat doubtful that there will be many 2 door base manual Squatch units left un-bought, but a guy can dream, lol. I want that combo bad enough to wait for it., honestly. Hell, we've all been waiting this long, what's a couple...

I live in TN, but my Bronco will be a cross country touring car, as well as an offroad expedition vehicle. I hope to take my kid to see as many national parks as possible with it. I have family in Colorado and Arizona, so it will also see lots of offroad use out West, and will pull a small...

Thanks. I'll be happy to get mine whenever it comes along. I currently have (mostly) dependable transportation, as well as a capable trail beater, and I can keep both of them alive until I get my Bronco, which will replace both.

Spent some time laid off due to Covid, had to pay for a couple of funerals, spent my down payment, figured I wouldn't be able to afford a new vehicle this year, so I decided to wait.

I cancelled my first week reservation and set up another one yesterday. I doubt I'll see my Bronco before Christmas of '23. Oh well, gives me plenty of time to save up a down payment. I'm sure the '23 base model will be $55k and knock me out of being able to afford a new one. So I'll probably...

As an industrial maintenance engineer, I'll say it won't take months. Maybe a week or two, tops. We had an entire line destroyed by fire a few weeks ago, and the part that is taking time is the 30 million dollar insurance claim. The show must go on, and I assure you, it will.

I'll probably have my fabricator buddy whip me up some cool ass bumpers and rock sliders, and I'll probably remove the plastic fender flares. Once it's paid off, down the road it is somewhat likely to get a set of DynaTrac Pro Rock Dana 60's, ARB lockers, 5.13 gears, 38" tires, and an exocage...

I had wanted a Tacoma for as long as I can remember, and finally bought a new 2017 in late 2016. I kept it 4 years, and said I'd never let it go. And then Ford did the unthinkable by dropping a Bronco that is a legitimate 4x4 instead of just the crossover minivan POS I expected like the Blazer...

Mine will be completely used up. How long I keep it will depend on its durability. I plan to drive the crap out of it, abuse it, break it, fix it, repeat until I can no longer get parts for it. It may not be my daily driver forever, but the Jeep Cherokee that I was daily driving 12 years ago is...

I really like the Bronco Sport as a competitor for a Subaru Forester, or Toyota Highlander, or any other soft-roader. I'd be a lot more interested if it was available with a true low range and a manual transmission. As such, when the time comes that I'm ready to buy another new vehicle, I'll be...

I guess overlanding is a bit misleading, but fits what I have in mind. I can "Overland" just fine in my Subaru. I do it all the time. But I want to drive my rig to Moab, Rubicon, Holy Cross, Johnson Valley, Uwharrie, Tellico, etc, and actually wheel the thing, and then drive it home. I also...

I'm just hoping there's enough room to install a lunchbox locker in these diffs without having to remove the ring gear at this point. If I don't end up saying F the whole deal, I can now only afford to get a Base with no options, and 2 lunchbox lockers. I'm even tempted to just weld the rear. I...

My 2017 Toyota Tacoma base model worked great with just conventional traction control that wasn't even their "A-Trac" or "Crawl Control". It was simply an electric LSD that worked front and rear by modulating the ABS system. I never once got that truck stuck, even with 2 wheels off the ground...

I might have to find a purple Wrangler instead of a Bronco now. That thing is gorgeous.

2.3 was always the only option for me, as the Manual trans is the only constraint I have for my Bronco. If they had been Auto-Only, I would have kept my 2017 Tacoma for another 20 years, and even now I am wondering if I'm going to regret selling that thing. I gave up a pristine and awesome...
