That shelf looks huge. I hope the optional pull out tail gate thing makes that more uniform. Nothing like having stuff in the back slide down an incline and off a cliff, especially since I want everything back there backed and floored in hard plastic.
Honestly, there is a lot of merit in canceling a reservation and just waiting until they release to assess one and maybe pick it up off the lot. The time between reservation, order, and delivery is long which increases the likelihood of someone canceling along the way.
Also, this is not a...
I don't plan on keeping the back seats up or in, depending on which option is best. I also don't have any kids to ride in the back. Having said that, 90% of my passenger volume is an 80lb shusky who isn't a fan of Texas heat but LOVES some AC blowing on his face after a long hike.
In other...
I like a good deep and subtle, quiet sound out of exhaust that I can just feel but isn't really heard by others, but its probably among my lowest level of things important to me in any vehicle I own (I also ride motorcycles). Then again, I don't have an overwhelming need for attention when...
I am looking into that, but still going to assess how well everything comes out with the Bronco. I have only owned manuals, so I would be pretty hard pressed to move out of one.
*edit* I would say I am still in the research phase, but got my reservation in none the less.
I feel like people have lower standards for vehicles than they probably should, given the breadth of reliability engines have had in the last 30 years. Yes, it turns out an engine using expensive oil changed every 4k miles and driven like a baby only 5 miles a day is probably going to be pretty...
The carbon thing is a bit bothersome sounding, but with a bit extra in the routine maybe not so bad. I am used to a wide range of reliability in vehicles. Ironically my worst was my 93 Wrangler YJ, the entire transmission had to be rebuilt at 110k and I spent as much on engine issues as the car...
Ugh, I hate trims. One of the reasons I rarely buy new cars. "Want this one feature? Well first you need to buy these 8 features you don't want. "Oh you want two features? Well those are on separate trims so...buy two cars??"
I think we should unlink hardcore offroading with the need to have an elements tough interior.
I plan on only doing light offroading but this is a must have feature set for me. I spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking, road tripping, and backpacking. My most common car companion is a...
The answer to this question for me is that I am not. I put a $100 deposit that I can get back if I don't like what I see. As soon as it comes time to spec, the first thing I am doing is going to other dealerships, including Jeep, to look at competitors.
I am hyped and I think this was a...
Going to be that guy and point out the obvious that saying something folds flat and then saying it has a 4 inch step and a slight incline kind of cancels each other out. I know that's a common, kind of annoying, thing in the industry but maybe we should remind what the definition of "flat" is...
Honda Element owner here. You won't drag me back to owning a vehicle with carpeted floors for the rest of my life. For the Element, the sounds is totally fine, not even a noticeable difference from a carpeted vehicle, and I don't smell a thing. I know the ones I have are more of a hardened...
Reserved my Base a few days ago. I am the weird type that doesn't want the Sasquatch or anything like that, I love the way it looks just as it is and I only do light to moderate offloading. Might be interesting to hear what everyone's make or break, but still unannounced, option might be.
I am glad to hear they fold flat, though I will definitely want to see how flat and how big of a step up it is before making a decision. I am hoping at time of spec we will have that information. Just me and my dog here, and since I haven't had the seats down in my car in two years I am...
