Wow, I stepped away for a couple hours to go buy hay for my mule. Really. Come back and 100 more meaningless responses with goofy gifs. All....based....on.....a....rumor...he said, she said, they said. Wait and see, getting orders in is no big deal and will be on time. getting your...

Car companies know all about production schedules and I seriously doubt they'd suddenly put a half year delay on orders. It's a rumor, someone trying to jerk people's chains. Or a misunderstanding, like badbradbronco said.

Read the fine print of any warrantee a Bronco has (are there any threads about warrantees?). I BET electronics or computer items will be the first to fall off being covered.

Careful with a "bumper to bumper" warrantee - they usually are a rip-off. I was pressured into getting one with my 1990 Taurus SHO. Two years later the clutch went out, with a distinct pop and loose, swinging pedal, at like 20,000 miles. Paid $900 back in the day at the dealer who insisted it...

I'll peel off the $1.00 sticker, and put a repro $25 chrome logo on it.

Thanks, after I wrote that, I saw that keyless is standard, backup cam is standard, basic cruise control standard. Electric door locks, electric windows check. Pretty much everything I need will come in the lowest package. I see no reason to add many thousands of dollars for a bigger LCD...

That's what I was thinking - compare to a new Ranger.

Broncojones you said " -110V/150W AC power outlet - Great for laptops or charging tool batteries, I do not think you get an AC outlet without the mid-package at minimum " Looks like you get 2 12V DC outlets and 2 USB in the Standard. I can do what I did in my old truck, get one of those...

Meanwhile, I just replaced the dishwasher that has been in my house for over 20 years. It still worked, just getting a little old. I bet my new one will work less than 5 years. THAT is the problem with today's tech - it's throwaway. I bet few, if any people think they're buying a bronco for...

I need to check the levels and builds again. I was getting the Big Bend so I could have lockers, 17" wheels, and the Cactus Gray paint. The next level Badlands would be nice with the skidplates, but I don't need heavy bumpers, and don't want rubber washout floors and vinyl seats (too Dry in AZ...

One thing I liked about my BMW, and like about my current F-150, is they had almost no electronics gizmos to break. And electronics and computers do break - I was an Advanced Electronics Technician in the Navy. My Current F-150 I bought new in 2002 with just the tow package, the limited slip...

I'll agree all the modern computer/electronic features are cool, when they're new. I travel some for work, and when I rent a car, I'm amazed at all the doo-dads. However, how long will they work? Maybe I'm an odd bird, but I keep my vehicles a LONG time. My F-150 is going on 250,000 miles...

I've been through knee deep, 40 yard stretches of western rivers in my 2WD Ford F-150 with 16" wheels and small tires. And up and down some pretty serious mine roads in AZ and NM in the 240,000 miles since I had it. Before it, I had a great Toyota 4runner, similar miles put on, somewhat...

Ha! Ok, that settles it, I'll get a Tacoma! Kidding, a basic Bronco sounds great to me.

Buying a big bend, manual. So far, I'm not seeing much in the Mid Package I need. No, it's not expensive. But it's more to break. I mean, this is an off road vehicle, do I really need: -Two-door Intelligent Access with lock and unlock functionality - electronics break. -110V/150W AC power...

Yeah, I toyed with the idea of doing the Pan-American trip, when I took this picture. I had just gotten out of the Navy. But ran out of time, had to get back home to start college.

Having traveled across the continent and down Mexico on a BMW motorcycle, I know a simple tent works for me. My rig in 1989, 4000 miles down Mexico with my girlfriend, camping the whole way.

I saw those rooftop tents when we had our B2000 in the early 90s. At first we were "wow, that'd be cool" but it lasted about a month of looking at brochures. It's a solution looking for a problem. I carry a backpacking tent. I suppose some think being up high protects you from wild animals...

Ha, yeah, not doing a rooftop tent. I've slept in the bed of my F-150 plenty, roll out a mat, open the sleeping bag - done.

I joined because of this thread, then noticed it's been inactive for a while. Hope bumping an old thread is ok. I think camping out of a Bronco will work great, it's one of my plans. Not sure what overlanding is, but I guess it's doing what we called "car camping" but in more remote areas for...
