"Beat Jeep" to a room full of "principals" likely had nothing to do with our definitions of performance and capability. Those people don't have the slightest interest what the off-road performance is - they want sales figures, that's their "performance" metric. One might speculate that the...

I'll keep this brief, and then the thread can be deleted or moved if the OP concurs: Roll the window down all the way, then remove the inner door trim panel. Once the panel is off, you will be able to see (through the window) that the outer seal just tension clips in place over a piece of...

I think the door seal itself is easily accessable... Or are you talking about the window seal that goes around the top and sides of the window, or the wiper seals that go at the bottom of the window? I can walk you through the latter if that's the question.

Options are always nice. The current Ranger doesn't have any, so hardparts and tuning are the only option. There are dozens of threads here on what we want vs. what Ford is going to serve us. Next generation Ranger will have options - it was frame constraints that kept anything larger out of...

Not exactly, but there are a couple clues in there!

It's already waaaay too late. Our electrical grid, transportation systems, and huge portions of the manufacturing sector are already vulnerable. Nuclear power plants are attacked on a daily basis. Your banking, medical environment, all retail shopping, your television, all your communication...

Yeah, hacking these new-fangled cars is too easy. I'ma just hack into all mine and configure all that auto-crap to default to off. Screw that dangerous ABS, and I'll manually shift my 10-speed automatic all the time. Plus if I want them airbags, I'll fire them my damned own self! Can it be...

...and the tuners are probably done with that project already. Once you get big wheels and tires, spare tire(s), extra fuel, water, tools, winches, bumpers, roll bar, compressor, cooler full of ice and drinks, and two typically overweight Americans, it may NEED a tune. With the modern...

I thought that number was a little big, but I have heard that the Ranger gets along quite well with it.

Okay, I guess I should have been more specific. If I could buy a brand-new '77 Bronco without having to live in it under a bridge eating ramen and cigarette butts, I would. For that matter, if the new BroncoBronco doesn't turn me on, I'll likely throw the $45k I have earmarked for a new one...

So, you mean the midsize fullsize BroncoBronco.

Not to mention, the river you crossed didn't require sinking it up to the dashboard. If somebody has a route requires that, they have a lot of water intrusion preparation to do to ANY car, not just "modern" cars. If they're submarining a car that deep for the sheer joy of it, they're in the...

I will keep a lookout for it, sounds retro, cool, and capable. But I guarantee that some people will be critical of every element of it... the BMW powerplants all have digital everything, they will have to meet safety and emissions. Have a problem with it? The folks at the local Ineos...

What is an FSB?

So have your cake and get some more cake later. That's not "I can't wait for the Bronco", that's "I'ma buy a muscle car while I wait for the Bronco." :rockon:

We could also be more courteous by referencing the thread that has previously beaten their "new" topic to death, they could read that and understand our pain.

I don't have a fantasy - I live in the real world where manufacturers have to fight between such demands as broad market appeal, EPA regulations, safety regulations, risk management attorneys, consumer price point, competitive offerings from other manufacturers, and investor expectations - to...

Ford isn't listenting, at least not for the Bronco. By now it is pretty much cast in stone. Ford spends millions of dollars "listening". They pay average likely consumers to get opinions. Polling enthusiasts like those found here would be like creating a focus group of F1 drivers to equip a...
