But I hear you on the storage space and lack of tail gate. First thing my wife said when she saw the Bronco was "I wish it had a tailgate like our truck and the 4runner did." We always come back from a hike, lower the tailgate, unload packs and guns, and sit on it to have a snack. Now it will...

I agree, workarounds will be needed. I expected that from the beginning, when deciding to downsize from my old F-150 I've used for 20 years for camping and hunting. It's been great to have a huge bed, I can put in back a coleman stove, often have a small backpacking stove backup, usually two...

Maybe because of the low tow weight abilities, they put the weaker (only word I can think of) transmission in the Bronco than the Ranger. Still, I'm glad I'm getting a Getrag 7 speed. Every salesman tries to talk me into an automatic and how good they are, how they are quicker, get better...

I'll say, "about time..." and drive off. Oh, wait....you mean what DATE is my prediction?

Been in Vail since 2000. Talk about change, then it was a sleepy ranch town with a feed store and a post office. Now 10s of thousands of track homes spreading to the horizon where I used to shoot and ride my mules. But figure the Bronco will still be able to find some uncrowded off roads. If...

Why do you jump out of a plane? Because it tempts disaster.

Thanks, that 10 level Colorado system is good. I'd guess his Base will handle levels 1-6.

I don't know if it's been established anywhere, but there needs to be definitions of 4WD levels. Like Class 1-5 rapids for white water. Every time some says "will my non-sasquatch [or non 33" wheel) Bronco be good 4 wheeling", people answer to the most extreme level situations. But that's not...

A couple of thoughts: Why tell us you are leaving? Not being mean, but just stop logging in. No need for a parting shot. The other thing is no one should "live" on an internet forum. Or any social media. It's healthier for you mentally to log out and check in one in a while. Responding to...

I like his point about the Ursa Minor popup being an easier fit in the Bronco, with no roof bars.

Back in the 70s there were two motorcycle sports that were very big. Both were kind of the same as rock crawling - to see if you can. They were Hill Climbing, and Trials. Look them up if you're too young to know about them. Update: It appears Trials is still done.

It's to impress girls. It's an extreme thing, like sky diving, pushing the envelope to see if you can survive (or if your vehicle can). It's not necessary any more than racing your corvette at 160 MPH is. I have a friend that does race, wears the flameproof suit and helmet, drives a Vette...

What I'm loath to do is call my dealer and make a rukus about changing priority codes on my order based on one email someone posted on a forum, and 10 pages of subsequent guesswork. Flipping and flopping between the original Ford plan that you need a code 19, even if you are: A. a late...

I think the speculation mindset (flippers) is what is causing half of the angst in supply shortages in America the past 18 months. The other half is hoarders. Think about it. How many people just sat at their computers last july/aug and said "hmmmm, I bet I can sell one and make a PROFIT!...I...

I'm getting a manual transmission. How would traction control work with a stick? If you try to give it more gas and a faster engagement to get some wheel spin I mean, could the COAT mode even stop you? Other items like shift points are obviously not GOAT adjustable. Does anyone know if the...

I also was thinking he may like a Highlander. I rented one a few weeks ago and had 4 adults and a dog in it for a multi hour camping trip to another state. It was nice and comfortable, front and back, for paved roads. What the OP is asking is a paradox - something "not big" and "not a...

It's for tying your dog's leash to, when he rides in front.

Can someone get a shot of the rearview mirror mount? That's the only thing that bothers me on some cars, it's positioned right at eye level, instead of above eye level. Most mirrors let you move them upwards on their ball mounts. Does the Bronco?

Yeah, this picture had me laughing at the trend to iconify everything today with meaningless pictures. As vehicles get more and more features, it becomes an Easter egg hunt to try to turn something on or off. Let's play the Guess What it Does! game.
