Level that load floor and get rid of all that carpet backing/underside and you have yourself something that's actually usable. I don't care if its just a little bin. If the much wished for, cheap, and tiny Jimny can pull it off surely the Bronco can.
I think there's a middle ground between these points and a lot of people throwing out assumptions of the others' point of view. I genuinely think its presumptuous to assume if someone says "I don't like all that cheap plastic" that they are looking for a luxuriously cushy vehicle.
The JL...
I think people dissecting pictures and proclaiming "OMG, NOT BUYING NOW" is a bit premature. The production versions of these vehicles WILL be different. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with looking at pictures and listing things you might be concerned about to look out for in...
Best I got are some news stories, like this one: https://www.autoweek.com/news/future-cars/a1708991/ford-bronco-may-get-new-seven-speed-manual-report-says/
" The MT-88 is reportedly being developed at the Getrag Jiangxi facility in Nanchang, China, which participated in the development of the...
Does anyone have any stats? Some kind of measure showing 4 cyl SUVs just blow up at 100k? Anything other than something completely subjective? I have had 4 cyl, 6 cyl, and 8 cyl SUVs and trucks and so far, in terms of relaibility, the 4 cyl completely trounce the larger engines.
For some...
I am very interested in a plug-in hybrid and will look at the 4xe closely once I see the price. I am not holding my breath though, as I am not really interested in a 4-door Jeep. Here's hoping we get a slightly higher range, lighter 2-door PHEV in addition to a 4-door for Bronco. Always have...
I am pretty interested in the 4xE wrangler as I am very into electrification of vehicles, but it being limited to the 4 door might create a hard pass for me. I really don't like the look of 4 door Wranglers and I genuinely don't have the need for it.
Maybe I am in the minority, but I am not particular concerned if its later in September as opposed to early. Of course, I work in development and release tech, so I am familiar with delays and working hard to create a polished product.
If the product is good, no one will remember it was...
I almost answered no to this, as most of my 4WD have actually been old school plain, with manual locking hubs, or on demand. Then I realized my sidecar motorcycle setup has 2WD with no differential at all.
Locked or off. :D When locked turning the front wheel is a cute suggestion.
I suppose I am the odd one that has no interest in the 2.7 or sasquatch. I don't need 35s for what I am doing and the turbo 4 has plenty of power. I will, however, be using the interior
I want a base with rubberized interior, drain plugs, light colored vinyl seats, hard plastic seat backing...
I work as an analyst and build surveys for a living. If this survey was setup to determine pricing, it was done as a secondary to gauging feature interest and as such isn't going to give the correct impression as far as pricing preferences. I wouldn't expect users to give good, actionable data...
Not looking to spend more than 38k on the Bronco.
Daily driver. Weekend trail trips for hiking/camping with the dog. Once a year deeper trail trips and once every two years month long excursions to places like Wyoming. Not offroading for the sake of it, but just to get to some cool spots...
I would still much rather have the option available on all models. Under the Jeep carpet is metal and wiring, not something you want to be sticking your feet on or have to clean. I know people go through and Rhino line the interior, which I did in my YJ, but it wasn't near as good as the...
I am the total opposite. Having driven a vehicle for years that doesn't have carpet, I will never again own a carpeted vehicle. My car isn't my house. I am not laying down in the floor well or driving barefoot. Sound deadening can be taken up in large part by having a roof liner. I can mop...
Is it still $1900 though? That seems like a lot for that.
Also, they really should just list that as 3 piece hard top, 4 piece painted hard top, and 6 piece painted hard top. Modular gives the impression it comes with interchangeable soft top parts you can swap in and out.
