I saw a CG today as well. I was sort of underwhelmed to be honest. It’s nice, but definitely not as dynamic as I thought it would be and hardly green.
The problem is, some states don’t allow ANY tint on front windows. Even in Texas which is hot and sunny a lot, 20% is as dark as you can go on front windows.
I’m really surprised so many seem to be surprised by these inspections. The US EPA has so many restrictions on manufacturing automobiles, and these smog inspections serve to enforce the continued compliance with these laws. Safety and Smog laws are enacted in each state (specifically referring...
I’m not super savvy on Ford stuff, but generally the sensor placement is fairly critical. This is my biggest concern with Bronco. That front radar is right where a winch needs to live. I think our only option besides Ford’s half solution, is something tucked up between the frame rails behind and...
I think in the Engineering Explained video of the 7MT, he talks about how Ford likely limits torque output in C gear because of that huge torque number.
I drive like a granny, and I’m super conservative off road, so hopefully I won’t break anything too quickly. Haha.
I wonder which spec Ford is putting in the Bronco. 406 ft lbs doesn’t leave much room for tuning. Cobb gets 378 out of the mustang, and accounting for 15% drivetrain loss that’s 445.
I saw a Lunar Rock RAV4 the other day, and said to myself, man I wish CG looked like that. It’s definitely green.
I haven’t seen CG in person yet but I’m hoping it’s similar.
I didn’t read everything, but the only feature I’m not thrilled about is the lack of real rear AC vents. My kids are gonna be uncomfortable back there. Ventilated seats would be cool, but defeats the purpose of MGV and rubber floors.
BFG KO2’s carry a 50,000 mile warranty, and in my experience, you can expect a good portion of that if they’re not too beat up off road.
Most AT tires will carry 40-60k warranties.
A true mud terrain that you tear up on rocks, you may get 20-30k out of. Pro comp MT’s have a 40k warranty but...
For what it’s worth, I popped over to the other forum to see what those people were talking about, and they’re all mad about the auto trans cost as well, and specifically mentioned it being a “great deal” before as well. So in this case it’s not just a B6G issue.

2.3 / MT (was considering the 2.7, but with the BP “fix”, it’s not worth giving up the MT)

Either CG or A51. I’ve seen A51 in real life, and hoping to find a sport CG before order time.
Any accessories I’m gonna wait on most likely. I’d hate for some $160...
I love my Disco! It’s a 2000. I just don’t have the time or patience to keep driving it much longer. Have a steering issue cropping up this week. There’s always something!
You’ve already gotten some good replies. The rear locker is optional on BB and standard on BD. It shouldn’t be a question of whether to get it on the BB - do it. Then you’re just deciding which trim has the other features or options you’re after.
Maybe think along these lines - you can easily...
I like the WT cloth interior personally. I’m a huge fan of mixing tan and black and the camo is a neat touch on what is supposed to be the flashy somewhat racey Bronco.
