Yeah, that's my thought - which ones did you go with?

I'm in sand and mud quite a bit, and it's in my washout flooring quite a bit. I'm not one of these people that is a clean freak, I'm mainly interested in keeping the interior in working form for the life of the vehicle. I debated switching to a truck for this rationale, but I like the Bronco too...

I'd just get Armorlite, I had it in my JL, it's definitely better than the washout flooring Ford put in. It's not bad, Armorlite is just better in my opinion.

Yeah, maybe I should clarify........they showed me the difference if I switched to a Black Diamond with price protection and SAS (this dealer also did invoice pricing with no fees on the Bronco so no complaints). It came down to like $1200, so....the BK was technically cheaper but not by much.

I use the roof rack a lot, it was a deal for $325 or whatever it was when I ordered, but.....I surf and what not. I'll say my main regret is not doing the Black Diamond build on my initial order in '21, I just wanted MGV and washout, but at that time you couldn't get 7MT with SAS, so I bumped up...

Yeah, the latest trip reminded me how much I love the Bronco. Everywhere I go people ask about it, I was constantly getting in and out of it in mud/rain, and I have basically no concerns because of the washout/MGV. It 4-wheeled great, holds everything, and I can still take the top off when the...

Ditto, I got in a situation with a ton of rocks in front (not rollable, they were there so you don't go over a cliff) and a pretty decent reverse out to get to have enough room to turn around. It was my own fault, but the rear locker and short wheelbase did it's job.

This is a key point, I can whip the 2 door around in a heartbeat. In fact, I needed that small turning radius this weekend and my locker actually when I got down a bit further in some mud/ruts than expected. Another really nice thing about the Bronco platform is being able to connect that locker...

Yeah I’m going to test drive a gen 4 again next week it’s been a year since I had one as a rental. I’m making do decently with the sand in the rear, I bought a cheap Maverick truck bed liner and it fits the 2 door without seats perfectly. So I just rinse it off after the beach. Thanks for all...

This helps, that's what I'm looking at. I thought about the hybrid, but I want that storage space for tools and things I have in molle bags in the Bronco now. I'm not super concerned with the back seats, it wouldn't be super often, and when it is, it will be my wife and/or Mom back there, and...

Yeah,I watched this too. I'll agree with the comments on the 3rd gen, but power/drivetrain really isn't a huge thing for me, I don't gun it. I drive the 7MT pretty conservatively, but.......it does hold 80-85 on the highway without a huge struggle pushing 35's. I don't want to go back to...

Yeah, I'd love the Ranger Raptor, but.......I don't really feel like coming out of pocket for $20k or so. This allows me to get a base TRD Off Road, keep the ability to hit most of the trails I'm going to hit, and it's only a $5k hit. The Colorado seems too big to me for some reason. Maybe the...

It does, but my 80 year old parents aren't using those seats, and I can't put a foil in there with the seats folded. The 4 door Bronco was never an option, just don't like how it looks...I would have kept my JL.

I have one, the OEM one.....so I can get all my stuff in/on the Bronco, that's not the issue. I throw my longboard up there for trips and/or in the winter. But I kite and foil/wingfoil, so you have a harness, lines, etc. in the cab, and the foil. Those can't go on the roof obviously.

I've thought about this too, good deals on the Pro 4x too.

I thought about it, but.....I honestly can't stand the look of them. I really wanted to like them when they came out, but it's like they didn't even really try in design, just slapped a truck bed on the 4 door frame and called it a day.

This is the key point: If you want something to drive long term without headaches, the Toyota is probably a better choice. People here will say the new powertrain is unproven. And that’s correct. But Toyota’s reliability is proven, so there is something to be said for that. Perfectly stated, I...

Yeah, so.....I know this isn't exactly the spot for non-bias opinions, but out of forums, reddits, etc. I figured this forum has been pretty level-headed. That, and it gives me a spot to put down my own pros and cons (as I think I see them). Here goes it: Current Vehicle: 2D '23 Badlands...

My friend has a '21 JLU, 6sp Manual. It's a sport and he bumped up to Rubicon tires. He had the clutch recall done because.......why not get a new clutch after 4 years. It's constantly throwing Service Transmission and going into a semi-limp mode. Takes it to the dealer and same issue, no codes...

I feel like I can pretty accurately answer this one. I've owned 5 vehicles in my life time, 3 of them were Jeeps ('89 XJ, '07 JKU, '21 JLU), a '93 Toyota '22RE Pickup, and now the Bronco. I will tell you that the Jeep forum (which I'm on quite a bit) will say......never trust the IFS, and get...
