4 Low 2.73 is pretty much industry standard.
The ATC 3.06 ratio helps s lot, but it's not Brand X's 4.10 either.
The Bronco comes with a deep 1st in the 10A and the 4.7 rear.
That's what makes it good, but not the best.
I'm waiting no matter what. My reservation is after the September cut off.
I hate to bring up a sore subject, but I'm still concerned about the 7M coming out of China.
The 2.7/10A is a much surer thing.
It will stay far more popular than usual.
The 7M Crawler gear is just too sweet.
Ford could go to the Jeep Rubicon solution on the Bronco mid-life update, or 7G redesign.
Putting the Crawler gear in the transfer case. So that both the manual and automatic have deep crawling gears.
That...
I'd expect a painted white top option ( White MIC as a base/ across the board option isn't happening. Because of technical mold and plastic chemical limitations) and a far better interior color pallet for the Riches.
Mansquatch and a better (less drab across 11 coices) body color pallet for...
Ummm....
With respect, you haven't said what you use is.
A LSD is far in the snow and mud.
A Locker rules on rocks and sand.
The basic Open differntial with computer traction control is best on the ice.
What is your use and needs?
Note that Ford's use of manually selectable lockers and...
WORD, Brother!!!!!
ETA: Now let's talk about the rise of the kitchen appliance colors!!!!!
Black, white, silver, pewter ( Carbonized) grey, and safe Lease resale colors!
4A comes into play once you need it for snow and ice ( wife unit w/kids street driving) or rock crawling.
Classic 4H is fine for muddling or general offroading.
The current 7M torque rating is too low to expect it to live a long life, at an acceptable warranty rate, behind a 2.7L.
If Ford correctly anticipated the 7M's popularity, they could have made the stouter 7M from the get-go, for nearly the same money.
The Bronco 7M take rate is already 2X the industry average.
Even with the artificial no Mid Package + 7M outside Badlands and late Mansquatch.
Not sure how failing upwards will result in cancelation.
It's the lowest priced model that you can get the LUX package in.
The 18" rims favor street over offroad too.
Painted fenders look more expensive than black plastic.
All these things copy the solid selling Sahara.
I suspect that you are right.
Color choice polls run that way too here.
Lot filling black, white, silver and carbon grey were all at the bottom of the list.
The majority wanted the unique colors.
On the other hand, everyone is buying an ordered Bronco this year, so that will skew things...
