I do love how you just say random things all the time that are totally, definitely not in any way related to what we're talking about or giving us any insight :)
Summer doesn't technically start until the 20th of June, so they wouldn't be lying if the reveal is at NAIAS. Hopefully we get some teasers and details throughout the beginning of the year leading up to the actual reveal if it's going to be that late.

Jaguar Land Rover announced today that they bought Bowler, the team that turned regular land...
The competitions I run are generally 5-600km or so per day, involving going straight from one competition stage to a transit on highways to another competition stage with no breaks except for gas. There's no trailering possible except to the very start of the event if you wanted, and the rules...
I chose 33" but only because I think that will be a stock option. If it only comes with 31-32s I'll likely run those. I wouldn't want anything bigger than 33, the tradeoff in unsprung weight isn't worth it for my purposes, but as others have mentioned, it seems like a good middle ground.
Plus...
I'm really trying to figure out where you're getting this impression of me from.
The 'coolest' thing doesn't matter to me. I want the vehicle I want, I have a very defined list of desires. If Ford makes it, they can make any other vehicle they want for all I care. I don't know how I can say...
Whoa, hey now. We seem to have moved from talking about facts and opinions to making statements about me personally. I've said in more than one place on the forum I'd be totally fine with a 2.7 or 3.0. I've also said I don't care about the removable roof and would never use it anyways. Give me a...
Yeah, like a 2 door version, or a removable roof! Good thing the Bronco can have those regardless of front suspension architecture.
Also, the IFS 4Runner is still here and selling stronger than ever. The wrangler admittedly sells better, but it's around 50% more, and it has a much lower entry...
In the closeups I think you can tell that those are LED light pods set into that housing. I agree with everyone else that it's set up this way for protection and wouldn't be street legal.
The shape of the housing is probably representative of what the production one will be, but not the design.
What's new is that the market loves any off roader right now. And like Randy92Fox mentioned, the used values on all of those old competitors are very strong, so there's demand for that type of vehicle.
Yeah, totally. I have and continue to freely admit that I'm in the minority among the...
Yep, totally. And this discussion has happened elsewhere on the forum already. The other vehicles you mentioned above were definitely in the same niche, though they had no removable roof (something I don't really care about, but others do and it helps with the image), and no 2 door swb version...
Perfect :fingerscrossed:. Give me that with good styling, 2.7 or 3.0 and a manual trans and I'm in. And preferably with a Torsen front diff too, they already have that in their other off-roady vehicles.
That seems like a recipe that will have a lot of appeal to people, except those who want to...
I would personally expect them to continue to develop the R at least for another year. They really need to go back with an improved version of the same vehicle to make up for this year. Maybe they'll run some other Baja events other than the 1000 as well.
Perhaps after the Bronco is released we...
Interesting article: https://automotivemap.com/ford-bronco-baja-breakdown-2019-2641499940.html
It really highlights that they didn't have much testing time for this thing and were troubleshooting issues right up to the deadline. Hopefully they can sort it out for next time. This part made me...
