Sorry, maybe I'm not getting this thread; "entertained" by what exactly? The little tidbits of information each day?; no, if I even look at those I click off in maybe 2 seconds; boring, shows virtually nothing. Is that what they teach in marketing school? Maybe it works for a some people, but I...
No decision yet here, it'll probably be at least a year and a half from now before I purchase anything new. Isn't the 4 runner design very old, and not scheduled to be updated for a year or two? I like the JL but I prefer an IFS. Also, the new Bronco may have a stronger factory available motor...
Yeah, it does seem like the "reveal" has been handled very poorly.
I'm still optimistic though that it will be a pretty good vehicle.
I'm not one of those looking for any large tire version, just a basic fx4 version is fine with me.
I'd consider a 4runner, but isn't that design like 10 years old...
I'm not sure why anyone has any "loyalty" to any particular vehicle manufacturer, unless you or your family works for the company, or maybe they have a major factory in your town. (?)
If I had a favorite vehicle manufacturer, it wouldn't be Ford, they're #14 out of 20 non-luxury vehicle...
Ford should reinstate TFL immediately. How many automotive reviewers/ media have published early photos of new vehicles? Probably almost all of them. For Fords action to make any sense they should break all relationships with all automotive reviewers. The TFL guys are great, I've watched a lot...
A more basic fx4 package with little or no lift and with maybe 30 or 31" tires would probably be all I'd want in an off roader. I have to have the upgraded motor though, I'm really looking forward to what that is.
Very interesting, thanks for doing. One thought; haven't previous Ford "Fx4" packages been fairly tame? I'm thinking something like an XLT with the base Fx4 package, will have only a few add ons, such as some minor skid plates, probably a limited slip rear, a minor shock change, and changing the...
I agree the Bronco will take a lot of sales away from Jeep. For every Bronco sale probably 60 to 70 % of them would have been Wrangler sales. I drove a JKUR for 6 years, I like the JL, but probably will never buy another Wrangler. I'm astounded that Jeep still hasn't fixed the steering in the...
SFA has been discussed forever on this forum, the answer for now seems to be no SFA on the Bronco, it'll be IFS. (Which is my strong preference, Jeep still hasn't figured out how to build a SFA.)
The Ford COO might have a point. In terms of overall quality, Ford has been above Jeep in the JD Powers annual vehicle survey for a long time, maybe always? I drove a JKUR for 6 years, had a few problems, mostly the steering. Evidently the JL's still have problems, there's a "steering" post on a...
Any real reason to believe Ford this time? Haven't they announced the "reveal" a couple times already? Is there anything stopping Ford from running the same image in July that says "August!"
I don't think Ford (and probably every other vehicle manufacturer) gets that 99% of the people out there...
Maybe you guys are right, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. My personal perfect vehicle would be something like a Ranger Raptor, except with a very, very strong motor, not a diesel. I'll wait to see what the Bronco comes out with.
Anything other than my current 17' Tacoma OR will be a step down in reliability. Lexus doesn't make any off roader I'm interested in. As soon as I saw the wrapped 4 door Bronco from a month ago or so, I noticed it had a fairly upright windshield, implying it won't be a fast vehicle. If there...
