I wouldn't stress it too much. I got a Raptor the second year it was out and took 4 months to get it because they sent it back mid transit. Like other guys have said, there's things they can only fix at the factory and it's not abnormal. I prefer it though, it means Ford is being responsible and...
Nah, I didn't, at any point, say that if we know if the truck will be safe in a single incident, without a doubt and without safety testing that is safe. I was asking if the structure is just for basic safety or is it robust enough. You even highlighted the part that said INDICATOR on a couple...
Reread the first post and see if I say that. I think we're on two separate trains of thought. Not saying that one or 2 crashes would do that, just a synopsis and what happened, not a conclusion of safety. No hard feelings, just kinda asking for for any additional info that could illuminate...
So what I'm getting is this thread has provoked nerds who only trust numbers and knuckle draggers who are looking to build a full picture to add to the unreleased numbers. Read the part where everyone knows if it's a major manufacturer, it'll be a safe car. I'm tracking. Still.
You can learn...
I was hoping someone would be like "Yea we rolled one in [insert testing ground here] and x, y, and z happened." Guess I'll have to wait for the roll over lawsuits to start.
I found other threads talking about how those numbers won't be coming out for a bit and I'm tracking. I guess I'm more talking about does the structure hold up well on the event of a roll over off road or in similar situations. I get Ford won't release a vehicle that's unsafe, especially after...
I haven't run across much and fail to find any info on safety ratings and the like, assuming they're not out. I wouldn't hope for a roll over at KoH or someone out driving these to get into an accident, though that would be a good indicator of the standard it's built to. I'm not a sadist, so...
No no, it was a joke. Running theme of Ford just making a million changes. I've already backed out of buying one because I can't really build one out exactly how I want, so I've just turned into a joker. My bad bro haha, didn't mean to mess you up
I agree to the extent of keeping the purebred idea of the Bronco, but the 4 door is a good idea. Jeeps haven't been hurt by that addition and it's not just popular, but gives folks a good option for overland or weekend trail trucks. If you want a crawler or KoH vic, go 2 door. I love em. But in...
I feel like there would be more room for a Bronco pickup that looks a bit more like the Defender 110 double cab pickup. Basically just turn the 4 door's storage into a slightly bigger pickup bed. The Gladiator is EXTREMELY mis-proportioned. Hopefully Ford doesn't follow suit.
Stupidity like this is why I canceled my Bronco order and bought a '69. I poke my nose back into 6G and even BN on occasion to see if Ford came to their senses, but usually that answer is a resounding "no". We live in a day and age where rich people with money think they're entitled to control...
Except like 3 of those are me... and I'm not buying one. I won't pay for options that I don't want or color trims that I can't change. Disappointed, sure. But the other big deciding factor was that I don't want another $4k repair bill for a tiny leak in the auto transmission. Repair costs on a...
I think it's more that the engineers know everyone is calling it a Warthog and low level trolling for a laugh or they just know the cat's out of the bag and don't care.
