Overland. I don't do enough wheeling to justify the higher cost of the Rubicon or Mojave. Day 1 mod will be swapping out the stock tires for bigger ones, but it will suit my needs well.

I got so pissed off by the continuous clusterfuck of the Bronco rollout that I ordered a Gladiator about 2 weeks ago. It's scheduled to be built in 12 days. It's nice to be able to order and receive a product without drama, confusion, and anger. I'm excited about the Gladiator, especially since...

Sooo, if I go for the shitty looking soft top, I might get my Bronco earlier. Unless I want a Lux or tow package, or V6, or a steering wheel. Got it. Hey @DealerInsider, Gladiator order coming your way!

Now that car seats are the size of La-Z-Boy recliners, she might be right. But I bet you can fit them in there.

Alright Tom, are you telling us we're completely f'ed and should look for alternative transportation for the next year or two? :ROFLMAO:

@DealerInsider - Does your lease buyback program include 4xEs? Does the federal tax credit factor into the equation for a short term lease (although it may be a full term lease by the time Ford gets its head out of its ass)?

Grab a drink (or three)?

The guy I was communicating with said he thought you had to wait 4-6 months before paying off the loan.

@DealerInsider (Tom) offers, I believe, 6% under invoice for Wranglers and Gladiators. He works for the Horsham chain up in the Philly area. I was in negotiation to order a Gladiator from Criswell in June when they told me that the 7% under invoice deal was no longer in effect due to the chip...

Yeah, I’m with ya. I was about to place an order on a Gladiator when I started checking out the Bronco in earnest and really got intrigued. Granted, I only made a reservation and order a couple of months ago. I can’t imagine what some of you early birds have been going through with all the...

Yeah, it was out for a test drive when I got there. A51 is my color of choice, so if the Koons WT isn't available again this weekend I might head up to Bob Bell to see their A51.

Might have to go check that out. I drove the Badlands 2.3 MT here in Annapolis last week, but curious to see how a Squatched V6 drives and rides.

It's only bumpers, engines, transmissions, and tops. Anything else and you're golden! Steering wheels, turn signal stalks, seat belts.... All good (at least for this week)!

Funny you say that. I’m one of the few that was cross shopping this with a Gladiator instead of a Wrangler. I test drove a Badlands with the High package and found the interior and ride to be pretty good. I wanted to test drive the Gladiator today while the Bronco drive was still fresh in my...

Some interesting perspectives on here. I finally had a chance to test drive a 2.3 BL with a soft top at my local dealer. They also had a WT, which is what I really wanted to drive, but it was out on a test drive and I didn’t feel like waiting around for it. I hadn’t driven a stick in about 12...

Not sure how this top will hold up, but I do know I’ve had Rob Halford screeching ‘Screaming, Screaming for Vengeance!!” in my head while reading the past 8 pages of replies.

Oh boy….

How does it drive? Is the acceleration pretty decent? I really don’t care much about the efficiency comparisons between it and the Bronco, I just want something I can actually drive in the next 12 months. I know the fanboys say “You’re not buying it to drag race,” which is true. But getting a...

I use fluid film on the underside of my 4Runner, which generally attracts rust like poop attracts flies. Super easy to put on with a spray gun and air compressor.

True. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe if I saw it after 5-6 beers and right before closing time it would look a lot better.
