Rivian R1S (The SUV version) is more a rival compare to the Bronco 4 doors.
On paper Rivian better in everyway. On road, off road, towing.
Love its multipurpose. It can be a off-roader or drag racer on demand.
The security camera Yeti animation is hilarious imo. I would buy it just for that...
I don't think Blow off Valve reduce turbo lag...
Its really just for cosmetic, sounds and turbo surges.
Modern cars have pressure recirculation system built-in to mitigate turbo surges.
Bronco doesn't have HUGE aftermarket turbos, having a BOV is really just for sounds.
Intercooler doesn't...
Hehe it reminded me back in the younger days I had a HKS SSQV4 on a Bimmer.
Tempted to get one. But my Bronco will be an Automatic, I don't have the reason to let off throttle every time...
I ordered a Bronco for its looks. If I don't get it by 2023 I'm switching to a Rivian R1S.
75k is not that much compare to a 60k loaded WildTrak.
I watched Doug's video and Rivian's claims. Not bad
" Drive through 3+ feet of water. Rock crawl at a 100% grade. Traverse just about any terrain...
Paint protection, Tow, MIC, Lux, 2 door, Side graphics, Leather, Tube steps, 2.7L, Engine heater, Small dealer. Literary every options are against me. 😬
I'm not expecting I will be selected, but I will be extremely impressed if I do.
Looks fun and alright to me until I see the jump.
I've never owned an off-road vehicle, but I could imagine that jump is not good for the suspension components... Mine is pushing 60k, not a chance I would hoon it like that.
Good call OP. Took the opportunity at your advantage.
My rule of thumb is 20k each year of waiting. I haven't got mine yet. But if I get it this year and someone would pay me 40k over MSRP then its sold lol
I would probably not get back into the Bronco line and will look for an upgrade such...
30. Just wife. Planning for just one kid.
Been driving fast sports cars in my 20s.
Done hooning around and getting speeding tickets.
As I'm getting older I'm switching to a fun but slower ride.
2 door Wild Trak is a good stepping stone
Sorry to hear that.. It really sucks after just took delivery of a new vehicle.
Always remember never drive behind a jeep, pickup truck, semi, any sort of vehicle that could throw rocks at you. Stay distanced or over take.
I also just learned that I should add windshield replacement package...
I wonder how many people who preferred manual never tried Automatic manual mode.
I've had a few cars. Most of them have paddle shifters next to the steering wheel, two had only the shifter lever itself. I find Automatic transmission is the best option for most of us.
When you want to feel the...
I email my sales person and GM to convert 2021 to 2022.
I also asked if they are going to charge ADM, keep 2021 MSRP and honor below MSRP as agreed back in 2021.
I only got a phone call said "prices will remain the same, please sign the document that was sent to your email"
So I did. I think...
I have Mishimoto catch can on my Camaro SS. Definitely needed.
Every month I found milky oil inside of it (water vapor + oil)
However, not entirely sure 2.7 dual injection needed a catch can.
I use 93 fuel. Carbon build up won't be an issue for me.
It might prevent moisture but... I'm lazy...
I love shifting myself. But I also love the convenient of automatic.
All my cars have paddle shifters. Semi automatic mode most of the time.
Hopefully there is an aftermarket option for my Bronco later on.
