  1. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    Interesting -- The T-100 didn't sell well and from what I remember got lackluster reviews despite Toyotas reput And you haven't been hearing issues about the new Tacoma and Tundra? Where have you been? Aside from the 2.7L valve issue the Bronco is pretty solid. Many of the Bronco issues are...
  2. Less that 5,000 miles and my hardtop is already failing

    I like the white & black, looks great in my opinion.
  3. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    IDN -- sounded to me the way you were trashing Bronco came across that way. I haven't driven the new 4Runner, but have driven a lot of others including my daughters new "top rated" Mazda CX5 (Turbo model $50K with all options) and it will probably out handle Bronco but I still enjoy driving the...
  4. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    I wish Ford would come out with a fixed top version of the Bronco. After owning and driving a Bronco for 3 years, the only thing I don't love about it is the compromise that comes from a removeable roof. That said the TOR top is working great and I plan on keeping it a long time, but if Ford...
  5. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    I just rented a new Toyota Corolla for a week and NO THANKS, I much prefer driving my Bronco even a lowly Base model. Not all of us want an "optioned out Bronco", I paid only 36K for mine and want nothing more. I own two old Corolla's and they are good cars, but I wouldn't touch the new one...
  6. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    My Bronco is fun to drive! My other two cars are a Mazda6 and Corolla and I enjoy driving the Bronco more than either. It handles straight and true on the highway and plenty nimble around town. Perhaps the fact I have a Base model with all season tire helps. Of course it isn't going to corner...
  7. Rival Reviewed: 2025 4Runner First Drive Reviews Are In

    The 4Runner does not have the distinctive design of the Bronco, looks like everything else. For me the fact Bronco does not have god awful plastic everywhere especially on the front and its simple design is what sold me, and I'm not into retro and know little about old Broncos. What is with the...
  8. So you got the Sasquatch package? A few words regarding your tires.

    I have just the stock Base all season tires. I had planned on replacing them with AT tires when they wear out, but after driving them for several years I may stay with them. They are quiet and handle great, and I have zero rock chips. They get me in and out of ski area parking and trail heads...
  9. Less that 5,000 miles and my hardtop is already failing

    Seeing all these pics of cracked tops sure makes me appreciate my TOR hard top. I know I know the tires are small -- I'm not into off roading and I like em.
  10. Less that 5,000 miles and my hardtop is already failing

    Going to court is always a tough road and ambulance chasers aren't interested in messing around with $6K. One time after I was rear ended by an uninsured driver I went to a lawyer. I just wanted the car paid for. He told me he is not interested unless he can make a million bucks, and asked if my...
  11. WARRANTY ISSUES WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS

    Of course they aren't going to warrantee anything that could be affected by aftermarket parts, pretty much a given.
  12. UH OH!!! "No compression in cylinder 4"

    Yeah and it would be a lot more than just a change in power.
  13. Phone mount damaged dash

    As much as we love to complain about hard plastic, this is one reason why I prefer it over so called soft touch.
  14. Ford CEO says some fun toys coming -- wants Ford to be "the Porsche of off-road."

    Way over priced compared to what exactly? What other truck can you get for $24K? Sure it costs more than when first launched so does everything else. Its still a great value.
  15. Engine fire destroys Bronco in Portland

    It happened at 2AM in the morning when the Bronco was parked? Most likely caused by an electrical issue. I wonder if this vehicle had modifications?
  16. The 4A Advantage

    I prefer the simplicity of the standard transfer case. It is simple enough to engage 4H on the fly when conditions are bad enough. Having AWD or 4A does not allow you to safely drive faster in marginal conditions, and is probably why the majority of vehicles in the ditch are AWD and 4WD. If...
  17. Collision avoidance, will it, or won't it?

    I'm pretty sure the collision avoidance is the same with or without 360, why would there be a difference? I have a bare bones base, and the system does work. It will sound an alarm when it detects you are approaching too fast, and I had it apply the brakes one time when traffic came to to a...
  18. Gasoline octane & MPG

    I consistently average 21 in city (all stop & go no highway) and 25 on the highway with my 2.3L Base. Keeping your foot out of it is going to make the biggest difference. I seldom accelerate from a light with boost. If I need it like entering traffic sure I’ll punch it, but this is rare. On the...
  19. Which Fog Lights are best?

    DRL help your vehicle to be seen by others, not the same thing. My experience is with factory fog lights that come with a typical car or SUV, and for me these do little to nothing to help see down the road in fog, and you certainly cannot safely drive faster in fog/smog if you have them. I agree...
