Wow, I touched a nerve from a lot of people trying to justify their decision to buy based on looks and giant tires. Sure, they can do that. I was trying to help people more undecided and all the threads I read asking for guidance about daily driver Broncos. Most of those threads get the same...

Important tip: Read and understand what someone says before commenting. Standard rule of any communication. Witty responses aren't so much if you say you're confused but didn't feel like thinking about what someone says. But to give you a fast abstract: Performance means highways and paved...

Wow, 9 replies in what, 3min 42 seconds!? But seriously, I had a 4Runner and loved it, it was under powered, loud, and bouncy. A 1996, we put 260,000 miles on it out west, up Colorado passes, through raging rivers, and never replaced the clutch! I'm just saying, the new Bronco will be hands...

As I read threads from people that have similar purpose for their Bronco as me, I see a lot weighing heavily in favor of looks over performance. I think that is a mistake. While smiling at how nice your build looks in the driveway, and basking in the glow of admirers at the stoplight, on the...

Yeah, after living out west and driving my 2WD F150 with 16" wheels for going on 20 years, it's funny how many people think you need what we used to call a "monster truck" to go up a dirt road. Been up arroyos full of sand for miles, through the Gila river probably 24" deep and wide. Never...

If a bronco falls in a forest and nobody is there, does it make a sound?

I wonder why you have to reserve to go? I just checked the dealer near me and their signup says no slots. What, you can't just go look?

I was looking at small campers today. Not sure if I'd want to tow one of these, but the small Scamp might work. We have a 1958 Cardinal I'd love to tow with the Bronco, it's only 13', but probably too heavy. https://www.thewanderingrv.com/small-travel-trailers/

What a cute little crossover vehicle for soccer moms. Not for me though.

To each his own. Some bias their decisions about how something looks. I bias to how it works. I could care less about how 4 doors or smaller tires "look funny", when actually not many years ago we all thought monster trucks and huge tires looked funny. And I know a roomier 4 DR will work out...

Basically, my theory is those that buy a 2-door (and many that buy the jacked up package) will not be actually using them, they'll be basking in the glow of how they look at a stoplight. Those that will be doing more camping, hunting, long distance travel, dog events, archeology....will be in...

I have a big dog, can you imagine trying to stuff a dog into the back of a 2 door? I camp, and some years have gone camping almost every other weekend. I once drove a motorcycle from LA down Baja, then put it on a ferry across the sea to Mazatlán, and continued driving into the heart of Mexico...

You want to get tired of "colors" look around on the American streets where 84% of the vehicles are either black, gray/silver, or white. In a big parking lot the few cars with ANY color really stand out. I'm not sure why almost everything is some shade of metal flake silver with some green or...

Color fads come and go with the generations. I remember when burgundy was a nice color in the 90s. My dad had a two tone Buick, dark blue and light blue. His dad probably had a cream and pine green two tone Packard. The past 5 years? Non-metal flake, base colors are popular.

Jeeps don't last long. I bought my last Ford, a 2002 F-150, going on 20 years ago. Still going strong. You'll not find many Chrysler/Jeeps lasting more than 100,000 miles or 10 years without need major, expensive surgery. Chrysler is always the poor boy solution. Lots of capablity...

This one, of course!

I'm waiting on my Modular Black (prefer White). Where is the "color" in molded in color? Marketing/sales speak. It's "molded PLASTIC". And looks it.

Yep, I'm in that boat too. Never was in a hurry got get my Bronco, I wanted very few options, got a Big Bend with a Stick and small engine. But wanted the Black (preferred white actually) Modular top. So was willing to wait until what would likely be a MY22. But having to wait another 6...

I ordered the Black Top, and got my letter from ford about it a few hours ago. IT's clear and concise. Not like this forum at all. I open up this thread to see if there is any meaningful elaboration. Nope, just silly memes, additional questions, snide remarks, and complaints about the...

Again, this is not a "rust problem". It's not about quality, workmanship, or pride either. It's about wrong expectations from a novice at materials, function, and how engineering is applied in production. We also don't know the conditions of that particular truck or trucks, the root cause, any...
