My experience was similar in my Jeep. I had 35k on them when I sold it and there was plenty of tread left. They are not known to have the strongest sidewalls, but that was never an issue for me as the terrain here is not that rocky.
Agreed, we really only know from what we have seen in the various posted video. This includes:
Decent traction in sandy conditions - KOH
Decent traction in dry rocky - Moab, Rubicon, etc.
We have no idea how these will perform in most other conditions. Based on the same videos, I suspect they...
As a previous soft top Jeep owner, I never locked the doors or left anything of value inside. However, I also did not have remote or push button start. Found this to be an interesting read...
Once you use it it will make more sense. With it on that side, the chance of accidental unlocking is reduced. This setup works really well. It love this feature on my work vehicle.
Funny that they highlighted a comment that was made about the door handle installed backwards. The circled button is the lock sensor. I believe Ford is now moving them toward the front part of the handle. That is the position on the Explorer I drive for work. Based on my experience that...
Yeah, I think it just wet. However, I don’t know what the indent is. It almost looks like there is a Velcro patch there. I used to treat my Jeep soft top with some 303. I will more than likely continue with the Bronco.
Cactus gray is our final choice as well. I've sen it in person several times now and I don't find it to be as mysterious to the natural eye. I just think cameras have a hard time capturing it accurately just like A51.
After 7 years with the Jeep, I can honestly say we are a soft top family all the way. We are going to give it a shot and if it doesn't work out we will replace with a slant back.
My wife and I said the same thing. We think we hit it out of the park. After watching this I heard my wife say she was excited about the Bronco....up until now she has pretty much been annoyed with everything I have shown her.
I also ran a 35 spare on my JKU, but it was a lighter than most set up. I would not have felt comfortable with a heavier wheel/tire mounted on there. The biggest concern for me was the hinges. The is a ton of documented tailgate sag issues out there.
The after-market world will surely start...
I looks like they may be creating SAS badging for all trims:
This is the reported base badge. I have a feeling we’ll see others leaked soon.
I’ve seen several posts requesting SAS badging, they may be on of Ford’s “we are listening” moments.
