Yes - I think that is weird as well. The Bronco might be better than Jeep at blocking surprise rains when the doors are off, but I saw a woman in Florida with kids in the back seat who were caught in the rain. She pulled over and raised the softtop, but you could tell she was getting a good...
yes - Frameless makes all the difference and I think the new Bronco is why Jeep brought back their half doors. Jeeps just never really feel like convertible with full doors on/windows down because of that higher window/frame. When you have the top off most of the summer, etc you just end up...
Thanks - Those picture of the blue 2 door are pretty close. Not sure why, but every picture of 2 door, with top down, doors on, also typically have windows up for some reason
Hi guys,
I am planning to order a 2D Badlands(non-sasquatch). I have had a couple of jeeps before and even though I love having the doors off, and do so whenever I see 4-5 days of clear weather, I more often leave the doors on and lower the top with the windows down. Just so much easier to...
Yes - It is a tough call and both probably work, but if I get an order without a softtop I will certainly get vinyl because I can get by with a simple bikini top/windows up for myself and main passenger and just let the back seat get wet each time I am caught out in the rain. I have had...
Yes - Having the doors off is awesome, but when it is partly cloudy every other day, and you also worry about eventually accidently scratching your doors against something in the garage while taking them off, etc. I think I will usually keep doors on/top down unless I see a few days of it being...
Thanks David - I was locked in on Badlands, but now thinking of dropping back to Outer Banks and trying to decide if I should consider the cheaper cloth option. Tons better when you are dressed decently and jump back in the Bronco on a hot day and it has been sitting outside with top down for...
Thanks for the info on the doors. If that is the case, I will probably just leave my doors on the majority of the time with the top off. Sure, if it is nice then I will throw them in the garage for a few days, but that is why I like the frameless doors so much better on the Bronco. I hate...
Yes - It just sucks when you are ready to buy, forced to wait, and the price keeps going up. I am hoping that if I order on 9/13 that they will lock in my price for a 22, even if it does not arrive until 23
I have read that the Bronco doors only fit inside the 4 door Bronco as the back is not wide enough on the 2 door Bronco. If anyone has been able to cover the doors and put one in the backseat and one in the very back of the 2-door, etc. please let me know. What about transporting hardtop...
I have had a couple of Jeeps and kept my top down a lot. Sooner or later you are running errands and it gets cloudy and you run in somewhere longer than you thought, or go to a movie, etc and come out and it has rained/raining. With MGV that is not a big deal, and with normal convertible that...
Thanks - That info helps a lot. I would have already ordered and been locked in, but I really wanted to see it first and wanted the modular top. Now I am looking at a year or two and trying to decide if I should just wait for them to become available, or go with a Jeep for 3-4 years and then...
Hi Guys,
I was just in the dealer and wanted to place a new order and they said a couple of things I wanted to check on. I was going to order several months ago, but saw the issues with the tops(really wanted the modular), and wanted to actually see the size of a Badlands with 33" tires on it...
Thanks for that response - The 2 door is showing an available external option of a softtop for $2229, but like I mentioned in the post it is saying aftermarket(bestop). When I go to Bestop website I do not see that option, so I was going to go ahead and order it with the bronco and knowing that...
Now I am reading that if you order both the softtop and hardtop, that they will not wire electrical for hardtop. Does anyone know if that is true of the 2 door, which is showing the softtop as aftermarket anyway? I would not think it would because I think Ford would take that build, throw the...
Thanks for the feedback and this is exactly what I was thinking. If I knew that I could get a softtop in 6 months then I would order one with only softtop, but think i might order one with both. Just so much nicer having hardtop in winter. I could certainly wait on the hardtop, but if it is a...
I still have not ordered a Bronco because I really wanted to wait and see them first. My dealer is telling me that they are being told by Ford that soft tops are recommended and going to be filled much faster. If that helps me get one in 1 year, instead of 2 years, etc. then that is what I...
Hey Guys,
The Bronco shows a tow capacity of 3500lbs, but I would love a future option that might tow a four or 5000 lbs. I did notice the tow capacity is the exact same for both the 4 and 6 cylinder, so I am guessing that is all the frame, suspension, etc. can handle? A lot of this is...
