I bought it new in 2001, and granted I've only put 135k on it, but I can't say much bad about it. Not my first GM product, but for sure my first GM truck. We had a lot of them at work, I was assigned them year after year, and while I had Fords at home, I got used to the GM. All brand loyalty...

I can't imagine offing either of my Fords, but the GMC could be a candidate... nah, I need some driveway space. Selling the GMC outright for upgrade funds will be a plus.

Dang, you guys almost have me convinced to get a Raptor, and I don't even need another truck! :giggle:

Whoa. That is an intriguing statement right there - that Jeep may have to play catch-up to counter Bronco (or elements thereof) when they do the JL refresh for '22.

We appreciate every tidbit. Well, most of us do. Many thanks for correcting the wild speculation when it jumps the guardrails, and any other insight when the situation allows.

:clap:

With the design of a modern pickup body on it as shown in the mule, yes - the cargo/rear seat area would be very limited. But if the top hat is of a different design, more upright and forward than a modern pickup and closer to that of a Wrangler or early Bronco, perhaps some space can be...

Write up your copy, I'm sure there are several sites that will pay you for it. Just be sure to confirm the 2-door will only be available as a FWD-only plug in electric. The sound of exploding heads should be deafening across the Internet.

Clearly, everyone has their individual specific vision of what the next Bronco should be. At this point, I think it's becoming plainly evident that the new machine won't please everyone. But the Ranger will be the same size as it, so that's a clue. Bigger than a Wrangler, smaller than a...

It seems like you can't have either of them right now, so why stress over it? There's a first world problem if there ever was one. Even if the Bronco is on showroom floors 1/1/21, my guess is there will be production deficits and dealer premiums for some time. And if you're among the folks...

The issue is always weatherproofing the cab in either mode. Making the "bed" portion cushy enough for the SUV role, yet tough enough for the pickup role is a close second. I'm sure there are some great ways to manage both issues, but so far the limited attempts at implementation have been...

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks the Colorado-topped mule is - what matters is what it is. And since nobody here knows that, it is impossible to refute the claim. I agree it is questionable, but that's as far as anyone can go. You conflated someone being "confused" by an assertion with...

I think you misread a lot.

There, fixed that for you.

Sounds as if they may be going the Wrangler route - making graphics packages for specific regions.

Some forums frown on posting the source of competitive content, I don't recall if this is one of them and don't have the time to look it up AND post a reply in a timely fashion, so at the risk of getting an unpaid vacation...

I'm not really sure how Ranger gains ownership of a new chassis if the Bronco is built on it first. They will be on a shared platform, at best. Since the Bronco will roll out with it before the Ranger does, some would say that makes it the Bronco's chassis.

"The all-new Ford Bronco is expected to launch for the 2021 model year. The model will have midsize SUV dimensions and will be focused on conquering non-paved roads, thereby becoming a direct competitor to the Jeep Wrangler. The new Bronco will be loosely based on the current Ford Ranger T6, but...

You're trying to ascribe logic to the thought process of an American automaker. And that argument doesn't follow. Broncos WERE F150s for the majority of their production run. It isn't an impossibility to have two vehicles concurrently under the same moniker, again done by Ford with the Bronco...

It was the sole owner of the entire market for a road-centric performance SUV, and it still didn't sell enough for GM to continue it? I wonder if the TrackHawk will meet the same fate?
