The only mods Ford doesn't care about are the Ford Performance mods or occasionally products from Mountune. Might be able to find a good dealer to overlook things though.
I haven't seen a single person say they like a manual because it's manly or that girls can't drive stick. Everybody has said they like manuals because they're more fun and engaging. It sounds like you're the one with the masculinity issue man.
The reveal needs to happen sooner rather than...
Need a roof rack for the kayak. Also need to figure out the best way to store one piece rods inside. Weather tech floor mats/something for the rear hatch area (I'd love a carpet delete option Ford!). It won't be a first mod, but I'll be upgrading audio as well.
Wheels/tires/lighting/aux...
Depends on the V8...if it was the 7.3l I'd pay 3-4k as long as it was a stand alone option and wasn't attached to a trim or package. 5.0 eh. Love it in the mustang, but I'd be fine with the 2.7l in the Bronco in that case.
The Ecoboost make sense for performance/enthusiast choices. V8's are nostalgic and sound amazing, but stock for stock the turbo 6's will win. Have you driven one by chance? They don't sound all that great, but they get up and move!
I LOVE what Ford did with the new 7.3l. So much so that I'm...
Defender is loaded with too much tech for me. Especially with the reliability issues they've had the last decade or two. Those commercials show it's fun and capable if you're a millionaire and give zero ****'s. it doesn't do anything for me.
Do you guys really think Ford is going to put a ridiculously complicated/expensive/heavy hybrid system like that in a Bronco? A hybrid is possible sure. Likely even. But a 1000hp+ hybrid combo is dreaming
Ah. The transmission debate. Almost as classic as the suspension debate.
I might as well offer my 2¢...I live in the mountains and don't have to deal with traffic. Daily driving I much prefer manual. I enjoy rowing my own gears. I also prefer it much much much more in crappy winter weather...
With absurd range and solar panels to charge it all. It's not even wishful thinking. It's impossible with current tech. Wasted too much time watching that vid
I feel like the ifs vs sfa debate is overblown for 90% of us. There will be a few of you with the trails and experience to actually notice and/or need the difference. The rest of us will be served just fine. This is a marketing video, but it shows Ford really is testing the crap out of this...
Ny'er here. And yes there's an awesome side of NY that doesn't involve the city!! I'm hopelessly obsessed with the new Bronco. By all accounts it should fit my lifestyle perfectly. Just really hoping Ford does it right. Seems like they will.
Nailed it! Particularly the knobs/buttons/switches vs screens. I can't stand screens in modern vehicles. Same with the safety tech. I'm not even thirty years old and I sound like an old fart. Next I'll be yelling at people to get off my lawn!
Only slight difference for me....i don't need third...
