Thanks, if I buy a Bronco it won't be with the larger tires, hopefully it will not be that heavy

Do we have any decent guesses yet what the 4 door 2.7l mpgs will be? I think a 2wd f150 2.7l is 20 city, 26 hwy, which seems to me pretty good for a full size truck. So any information on the mpgs of the Bronco 2.7l?

How quickly everyone's tune changes. On monday after the first pics of Bronco's on the Rubicon trail, everyone's talking trash; "The Broncos ae going to show the Wranglers how its done!" Then today after 2 videos of the Bronco failing to make it up a couple rocks; "Those guys are pencil pushers...

Any new Bronco, hell any decent 4wd with decent AT or MT tires will do fine in the snow. I grew up in the frozen wasteland many decades ago and drove a pos 2wd car all winter long. No, maybe you can't go out right after a blizzard but keep a shovel and some chains with you and you can go...

Btw, if you haven't already read it, madman has the funniest comment in this thread on page 3 I think, maybe the funniest comment on this forum. I lol'ed for sure.

This is one aspect of the new Bronco I'm waiting to see. Of course the Bronco has a center console and a glove box, both of those will probably lock. I haven't heard yet whether there's a rear underfloor locking storage area, similar to the Wrangler? I've seen the slide out tray, but as others...

I'm pretty sure it's like the wranglers, the lower swing door has to be open in order to lift up the window.

Everyone probably already knows but maybe worth noting; the tires load rating makes a big difference in ride quality. I think the new Bronco will not ride well if someone puts load E tires on it, IMHO load E tires will be much too stiff for a Bronco, for most people.

The annual JD Powers vehicle dependability study is probably the best indicator of overall vehicle manufacturer's reliability. For 2020, Toyota is #5, Ford is #10, not bad. Jeep is #26 (out of 32). My 17' Tacoma has been excellent, but as others have said, it needs more power. My 17' w/ a TRD...

The whole "reserve" thing is just based on the marketing hype. You can bet the Ford marketing folks are high fiving each other with every "reserve". "Reserve" a vehicle you haven't seen, haven't driven, and don't know all the details yet? If that's what folks want to do; knock yourself out, but...

With all respect, I still see absolutely no reason to "reserve" a Bronco, and I definitely would never pay anything additional for any vehicle. Sorry I don't get it, the Bronco's going to be another very common, mass produced, relatively low cost vehicle. It should be good, nobody knows yet...

FWIW, if it's like my former JK, you can open the swing gate, then open the glass, then shut the gate, and drive like that with the rear glass open, for example if you need to carry something long hanging out the back.

Thanks for posting. Not that it matters, I've noticed the shape of the rear bumpers aren't the same amongst all the various photos. This example has the sides of the rear bumper narrowing in towards the rear quite a bit, some of them are more squared off.

I also love the Raptor, but I live in the city and don't get out to the country as much as I'd like, the Raptor is just too big. If you live in Arizona; seems perfect for a Raptor. Of course; do you really need or want a track vs. an suv? If you have a family and/ or dogs, will they fit in the...

They're somewhat similar, take the Bronco 2 door out of the mix and they're similar size, shape, both good off road. I think the g wagon was redesigned in 19'. I'd say get a used 19' g wagon, the motors, overall quality, finish, and on road handling of the g wagon would be much better. The top...

The new Bronco looks good, but not totally sold. Imho the JL is better looking, but with the quality problems. To each their own, I personally see zero need to "reserve" anything; are you kidding me? All the details aren't even out yet, we don't even know what the exact cost will be. I'm in no...

A v8 in either the JL or the Bronco will be in huge demand, particularly if it's a high hp v8 like the 392. Theres a ton of people like me who are tired of off road vehicles with barely adequate motors, like my former 11' JKUR or my current 17' Taco. I know, my own fault for buying a gutless...

I'm definitely interested in that 392, but isn't a loaded JLUR already about $60k? I can't imagine the 392 would be any less than around $70k decently equipped. Still much cheaper than one of the engine swap places. It'll be a while before I buy anything, if there are some power improvements for...

Funny article, thanks for posting, worth a quick read.
