My prediction: the manual transmission Broncos will last for 250,000 miles without any maintenance to their clutch or drivetrain, if driven by someone with the faintest inkling of an understanding of how to shift. Corollary prediction: 17% of owners with a 10 speed automatic will need repairs...

A "discussion" with unsupportable, weak premises is a waste of people's time. Get more information before blathering your mouth.

Ha! So you're quoting "some article" as if you were the authority on how transmissions are geared. Got it. I, for one, like a very low gear at times. Stop and go traffic. Crawling up a steep hill, lots of things.

You may be sooner than people with 2.3s. Buy the 2.3 for long-term reliability and sufficient power off-roading. Buy the 2.7 to go fast on superhighways and resell before it has 60K miles.

I expect I'll enjoy driving my manual 2.3 a lot. It has more horsepower than my 5.4 V8 in my old F-150. I towed a 3 horse trailer with 3 1000 lb mules in it, in the mountains. I think it is 260 horsepower. Been driving it 20 years. Before that we drove a 1995 4runner for about 10 years. It...

I never considered the 2.7 once I learned you couldn't get a manual. What I'm looking for is a "better engine" in terms of reliability, one. And two, better gas mileage. I'm getting a lighter Big Bend 4Dr, coming next week. I expect to get about 22-24MPG the way I drive. But let's talk...

This thread and it's irrelevant title "bronco sucks off road..." is click bait. The OP needs to cease with the hyperbole and change the title to "I'm getting rock chips from sasquatch tires, what should I do?" if it's not just kicking the ant hill. Question: do mods EVER close a thread, or...

Something important I figured out a long time ago: don't buy a hardtop yet. Wait for a modular one. They are cranking out these MIC ones and they have always had problems. Get a softtop, retro-fit a hardtop later....it's a convertible afterall.

I'm not going to read all 8 pages explaining it's not Ford's fault. But feel compelled to weigh in. It's not Fords fault. It's getting the Sasquatch package/tires. Get some mud flaps and/or side running boards. If you think "but then it will effect my off-road ability..." then realize rock...

Oh brother. They're not going to waste their time with the uninitiated about cast iron/steel parts underneath a vehicle. They may not laugh at you, but you might hear a chuckle.

There are tons of boxy vehicles out there with rear AC vents today. But it's funny, in the 30 years of raising my family, that was never a prime factor for me buying, because very few had them then. Price was/is a prime factor. I got my Big Bend coming this week, $38,000. Of course, I don't...

I am sure. Some people are satisfied with lower level of lights than others. Some are "tinkerers" and want much brighter light. Basically, it depends on what the user is doing, or just likes.

Agreed. I saw a stupid commercial with people proving their self-driving car was hands off, by clapping their hands to some song. 4 people in a car, all clapping and just sitting there going down the highway. About idiotic....sitting on a couch while a computer propels a 4000 lb machine 70...

To the OP, don't worry so much about the few reported problems. Look at them in perspective - Is a MIC top that showed honeycomb pattern the end of the world? No. Did Ford cancel that vendor, sequester a few thousand of the worse tops for replacements? Yes. It's really worrying about the...

I got the D6 package shipped to me last night. Just in time, bronco on the rails heading my way! If you need english instructions (only Spanish was inside the box), you can get them from the Go Rhino site. Here: https://www.gorhino.com/images/ePIM/original/D64129T-i.pdf

Getting a Bronco, fast, cheap is not going to happen. You can either search North America for a dealer demo or reseller and pay a big premium, or wait anywhere from 2-3 months if you strip down your original options, or wait for the original it may be 6 months. I would just buy a used vehicle...

This would get to be a pretty big thread, but thankfully 90% of Bronco owners aren't on this forum. Or you'd have 60,000 replies after a while. I'd bet most will be there was no ADM. The "every one post XYZ..." is kind of silly.

Because (as brought up on the forum many times) it's cliquish and gets tiresome after a while. I ride a motorcycle, and it's a pain every 2.3 minutes to have to take your hand off the handlebar and do the "motorcycle wave"....something relatively recent. If someone raises a finger or nods...

Like I said - if you didn't retire from the military in the past 2 years, even if you did 19.5 years then got out, you do NOT get the discount. Vietnam vets who got out? No. Gulf war 1 (myself) or 2? No. Iraq, Afghanistan? No. Just for the people who got out after Nov 2019. They are...

Doesn't apply to vets after 2 years of getting out. Happy Veteran's Day....I did 6 years active and 5 years reserves. Get nothing.
