Ford has been doing everything F150->Bronco Sport->Bronco. The first two have been up and running for a couple weeks, so I'm sure it'll be soon for the Bronco.

Ford will quickly sell every Bronco they build (without any discounts/incentives) for at least 3 years. They have no incentive to add the complexity of mismatched body/top colors until sales start to lag, then they'll offer it (probably first in a special 'Heritage Edition' or somesuch) to...

Agreed, but analog tach+digital screen on the 992 is bawss:

I'm much more excited about the prospect of owning the last new manual transmission 4x4 than just another AT 4x4 (that will surely be improved upon before BEVs become the only viable option in a couple decades). Think of other sports cars and 4x4s that used to offer a manual but no longer do...

With BMW, the base vinyl (Sensatec) is superior in every way to the Dakota leather 'upgrade', except variety of colors. They offer additional tiers of leather above Dakota at a significant upcharge (Merino leather, like an extra $3k I think) that are VERY nice, but the base vinyl beats the...

You could achieve that with the tailgate shelf accessory plus a couple $40 folding bleacher seatbacks : Seats

I bought 100 just for X-plan redundancy in case Mustang Club doesn't give me a code or something. Traditional automakers have been just about the worst-performing sector over my entire lifetime, and Ford stock is basically just a junk bond that pays most of its yield in the form of...

Yeah, forgot about that. Boats are a different beast, since the flag actually serves several purposes on a marine vessel, both practical and ceremonial.

Tesla/Rivian/etc. move the most expensive builds to the front of the line, which Ford is doing to some extent (probably fulfilling First Edition builds, erm, first). Ford has no effs to give whether you pay cash or finance through your bank/CU. They do make a ton more money off leases than...

Do you need the Sasquatch package to have enough ground clearance for some of these 'Straight outta mom's basement' guys, though?

I never thought about U.S. flag protocol until I did Boys State with the American Legion when I was 17. Those old guys took flag protocol SERIOUSLY, and took it as an insult to their service if they ever saw a tattered flag being flown, a flag being flown 'casually', flag clothing/gear, or the...

Are you a Tarheel? I would think Area 51 would be the choice for you then, since it's basically the same baby blue that Tarheel players would wear to class (if they ever went to class).

Those were my exact thoughts. I'm hoping the orange trim can be swapped out/painted/whatever.

I was all about Antimatter Blue (to match the navy blue dinghy I hope to rooftop on the Bronco), but I'm tempted by Rapid Red. It looks incredible on the Mustang, kind of fogey on the F-150, but that Rapid Red Wildtrak in the latest video looks gorgeous. The Badlands having orange interior...

Has Ford ever excluded a non-limited/non-commercial vehicle from plan pricing? I expect the FE (and eventually Warthog) will be the only Broncos excluded.

The new 4Runner will likely make an appearance before most of the Bronco reservations are fulfilled, and that'll entice a bunch of folks to wait and see what Toyota offers. Historically, Toyota dominates Ford on reliability+resale value, and that's a big factor for most consumers. I'd say...

Take the money you would have spent on the 2.7L and get the Ford Performance Tune for the 2.3L and get a walnut blasting at 75k miles. Neither engine sounds particularly good, and a 4x4 isn't the right vehicle for drag racing or corner carving anyway. Most manuals designed for high (400+...

I'd be all about the Black Diamond if I could get it with Adaptive Cruise Control, but alas, Ford makes you jump all the way up to Badlands if you want 7mt+ACC. Meanwhile, Jeep offers ACC on the Sport S Wrangler (roughly equivalent to a Big Bend or Black Diamond). It must be some supplier...

Gas engines are most efficient (thermodynamically, i.e. chemical energy to mechanical energy) near wide open throttle (WOT); the more closed the throttle, the more throttle losses and the higher the specific fuel consumption (SFC=fuel burned per unit power produced). A smaller engine operated...

I want 7mt+adaptive cruise control, so my trim decision is made for me (Badlands). I'll never use the disco, and even the front locker may never get touched. At least the standard wheels/tires on the Badlands are my ideal setup. If ACC was available on the Big Bend, I'd add that+automatic...
