Handled like a dream. Put it through about 2 ft of water a few times but got a bit nervous to do anything deeper than that.
Any Jersey guys want to meet up, lemme know.
$70k sounds right for the Premium+ (which i presume will be a vast majority of sales as its offers most options at a decent price point). For 2023, its a lot of vehicle for $70k, so I kind of expect it to have a 7 in front of it, not a 6. The 2023 has a base (premium) and luxury at $60k, and...
FYI here are the numbers:
New GX 3.74" wider, 2.75" longer, 2.4" longer wheelbase. Now 197" in total length.
The LX is 200" long, 78" wide, with a 112.2" wheelbase. The outgoing GX wheelbase was 109.8", so now is identical to the LX wheelbase at 112.2". Overall - The new GX is the same...
On the heels of the Land Cruiser announcement, it had me thinking about the LX.
I looked up the specs/dimensions of the LX and compared to the GX. With the GX growing in size and wheelbase, and the LX now so expensive, it really makes the proposition of the LX pretty hard to stomach when you...
Agreed. The sas bronco getting 17 is a freaking accomplishment. Partially due to their C load 35s (which are rare). The fact I could hit 20 mpg on the highway is an accomplishment and marvel engineering. It’s a decently efficient monster truck.
now the GX on the other hand. 3 row suv, heavy...
The 17 mpg on a sasquatch bronco is excusable / better than most anticipated. At least I anticipated in 2020 before they released stats…. It’s lifted on 35s… I usually average around 15.5/16 around town. Although premium isn’t really necessary.
I get the GX is heavy and body on frame, but it’s...
There’s a 1 yr wait on the new GX?? I’m very surprised.
yes I’m aware of the TX. I’ve been counting down to the combined reveal and watched all the YouTube videos. It was actually Alex on Autos that said the grand Cherokee would be on the list of competitors for the GX. So I’ll take his word...
On the Bronco pricing comments - I agree. Mid 60k is overpriced. But remember, it didn’t always be that way. My 2021 loaded OBX sas 4 dr was 56/57k. The same price as a loaded Wildtrak at the time. It’s just that Ford has raised the prices so much in the past 2 years.
I thought I’d keep the...
For some of the comments here, i dont think we will ever see a non-convertible variant. Way too much work. Sure, a metal one piece hard top thats permanently fixed would be more realistic from a manufacturing perspective, but what's the point of that.
I’m about to crossover next drive. Took delivery right before last Halloween. So 17.5 months, 3,050/mi a year. Initially estimated it would be 4-5k/yr during Covid but with full return to office (I take public transpo) and mostly weekend driving I’m at the lower end of my estimation. The mileage...
Initially wasn’t surprised since it’s Area 51. You could kind of blame Ford for that. They never should have allowed that color to be one of the select colors for the FE
But also assumed it would have navy pier interior which it doesn’t. It’s the double black interior unique to the FE. you’d...
Meant Hoss 3.0 which wasn’t a thing in 2021. Ie the 2021 loaded WT and loaded OBX sas were equals. In 2022 the HOSS 3.0 became an option on the WT then standard in 2023. Thus making the price increases on the WT incrementally greater than the OBX and cementing it as the higher trim with more...
IMO OBX sasquatch is (was) king.
Although with todays colors it’s hard to say. With a partial exception to Eruption green (in OBX sas roast) there aren’t too many timeless combos left. To me an AMB or Rapid Red OBX sas on roast was like an untouchable combo that no other trim, including the...
Loves the sun! Already covered in pollen by the afternoon though. Caught a passenger hanging out the sunroof of an F150 taking photos of me while driving which probably evidences the 2 hours the Bronco actually had blue pop pops before getting dirty again. Ha.
