The Xterra is a 4X4 body on frame SUV with a solid rear axle with a 2 speed transfer case, and in the Pro-4X trim, comes with a rear locking differential. I'm not sure how you assess it's not comparable to the Bronco.

I just got back from the Ford Aquatics Center, they are still hosting the two 4 door Badlands there for any of you that have missed the event at the Stars. The rain has kept most people away, and it ended up being just me and another couple there, so we were able to completely go through our...

Boy I've been out of the hobby grade R/C scene in a while, this TRX-4 chassis wasn't around when I got out of it. I thought about getting one of those New Bright bodies and put it on a Tamiya scale crawler chassis.

VIN checks out, it's legit. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/vindecoder.php?vin=1FMEE5DP2MLA63676 Probably a dealer trying to lock in a buyer as soon as they can sell it out of FCTP/Demo phase.

Actually, it is a turbocharged 1.5L 4 cylinder.

Same. As long as you pay all the monthly due over the agreed term, you just turn the vehicle in within the last 30-60 days, pay the disposition fee and walk away. I'd be curious to know what lender does this if this is actually a thing.

I will be financing the Bronco, but I've done a few leases for vehicles that may have questionable depreciation rates/risk of quick obsolescence since I tend to get new vehicles every 2-3 years.

All good my dude, thanks for sharing with us. Honestly, ~20 MPG for this sort of vehicle on the highway is decent, especially with the manual. The 10 speed auto should be able to squeeze out an extra MPG or two over the manual. It looks like the folks guessing for mid- to high teens for MPG...

It's not a Sasquatch if it's got 33" tires on it. So are you saying you are seeing this 21 MPG figure on a normal 4 door, 7 speed manual Badlands then?

Yeah this is very likely a FCTP vehicle. No VIN is going to be assigned until that vehicle is on the assembly line, and we know Job 1 doesn't start until 5/3. I'm curious to see how this dealer goes about selling it if they're already putting a listing up. Will they sell it as an agreement to...

Honestly losing AFM on those trucks is probably a blessing in disguise for the customers. GM's Active Fuel Management has been problematic with piston blow-bys and collapsed lifters since the Generation III LS/Generation IV LT motors. Totally not worth the nearly negligible 1 MPG benefit at the...

Totally can't wait for the eleventy billionth 'Which intake is better' threads. I'm excited.

Either crushed or put in a museum for display. It's not in Ford's best interest to sell these out of liability issues -- if someone decides to drive it and crash it without any emissions or safety certification, Ford can be held legally accountable.

Not looking good if you're expecting 20 MPG combined/average out of the Bronco, especially if you're getting a Badlands or Sasquatch. Unless your Sierra is on 33"/35" tires and really short gears (4.30 or above), get ready to whack 2-3 MPG right off of each MPG figure for the Bronco if you're...

Yes, it will be sold in Europe as well. I think they get the clear taillights opposed to our red ones as well.

Here you go.

BTW, the dash cams Ford offers in no different than the ones you can buy from anywhere, it just comes with a T-harness that powers off the vehicle's OBDII port.

CRM = Customer Relationship Management. This is the software interface for archiving customer information and sending communication to them. For example, the interface on Ford's website where you can log in and look at your reservation information would be a CRM; what they're saying in this...

Man you guys are losing your touch...nobody called out the Sasquatch flares on an otherwise standard Badlands?

I emphasized the diesel because it's actually slower than the V6 offering for that platform. The diesel Colorado's takes nearly 10 seconds to get to 60 MPH. People are worried about a powertrain combo that will likely do high 6 to low 7 seconds 60 MPH to merge on the highway.
