ford has never done anything to discourage their dealers from charging adm. if they have it isnt working. most the ford dealers i have been to charge adm on any vehicle with the slightest interest.
i remember that and expect more of the same with the bronco, got my 2006 GT for 1k over invoice when the 07s were out. im waiting for the raptor and then have to wait out the price gouging on it so i am a 2024 buyer. just gives me time to get the house paid off
i dont expect to not get the bronco but like you i have been looking at possibilities because of all the extra time on my hands. 4runner pro seems to be the logical choice. i agree about the archaic tech and underpowered but expect the new one that is coming to address these issues to maintain...
i am worried the manual wont be offered in the raptor version, with the big motor. built a turbo diesel wrangler on the jeep site and like i figured the diesel isnt available with the manual
