All the opinions turn to dust on the trail. Your machine either performs, or it doesn't. Completing the trail is the benchmark, not the spreadsheet of specifications of the vehicle you choose to complete it in. Both Wrangler and Bronco are specialty vehicles, and both make compromises in some...
The 2.7 sucks? Because you want the stick with it, I guess? I agree that part is unfortunate, BUT to complain the the stick isn't available with the 2.7 has a point: Ford should have engineered the 7-speed to be compatible with the 2.7 as well as the 2.3. I personally don't care for a stick...
Really?
I've always wondered why people complain about having options, especially when it is an option they aren't interested in. I just don't understand the point. If you don't feel the 2.3 liter is for you, move along. "Cloth interior? WTF are they thinking!? That isn't going to cut it...
Cooler outside air temperatures affect viscosity at operating temperatures? I would have guessed that either the fluids are at operating temperature or not, and thus viscosity equal to or closely similar to that of warmer operating temperatures.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but packages are nothing more than a convenient manner of grouping commonly-paired individual options (and sometimes at a discount). Do we know for a fact that we cannot order individual options a la carte (dependencies considered, like sunroof on a soft top)? In the...
Meh. If Jeep wants to put a V8 in Wrangler, it ups the bar for Ford (if they choose to see it that way). If it took the reintroduction of Bronco to make Jeep up their game, maybe it will take a V8 Wrangler to make Ford step up again. My reply to any Jeep owner who sings "neener neener neener...
I would NOT expect a configurator tomorrow. My recollection is that Ford has said "later", once they get close to job one. The above-referenced document tends to reinforce that.
I'm not necessarily choosing a new Bronco. If it lives up to my hopes, then I'm probably in. Having had at least seven Broncos so far, it is partially a nostalgia thing and partially a desire to not be driving another Rubicon like those I see by the dozens daily. I'm sure the Bronco will...
Looks like one will be within a two-hour drive of me. The circle around the southeast site appears to center on an area northwest of Phoenix - dependent on how accurate the graphic is.
Incredibly complex machine
New design, built on a new production line
Designed, and built by humans
Prone to misuse by human end-users
Humans have an unshakable track record of incorrectly engineering, assembling, and operating machinery.
How could there possibly be a problem?
I once slammed my ignition key in the tailgate of my GMC and bent it pretty badly - I was lucky to be able to bend it back (hammering it with a rock) enough without breaking it to be able to get it into the ignition. It was bent nearly 90*. The fob opened the door, but I didn't have a spare...
I think FCA and everyone else is facing the same delays as Ford in that respect. On the other hand, I feel like July is too far. While it isn't the best idea to reveal in the middle of a cycle of bad news, people would probably cherish some good news. Unfortunately, there is no "right" answer.
This IS life or death for Ford. Have you seen their stock price lately?
Ford has not "hyped" this product for years. Exactly the opposite, security and public information regarding this project has been tighter than a lot of classified government projects.
Everything that has occurred to...
Unless Area 51 or Fighter Jet Grey really knock my socks off, I will probably go with white/white and have a wrap of Medium Calypso Green applied in certain areas.
