Ha. Half my life is already over. I'm not going to wait.

I don't think anyone is trying to spin upgrading in 2-3 years as a good financial move. Some people seem to be trying to spin the purchase of buying a Bronco period as a good financial move. Which is like trying to justify a purchase of a boat. It's just a want not a need no matter how you spin...

I don't think I'll be financing enough to make leasing relevant. Depending on rates I might finance more than I need too.

Gatekeeper?

I addressed the 10%. I think the options will get more limited, not less. Especially on the 2 Door. i.e. The current BL is as close to what I'll want, and if I don't get one now, it will be hard to find one in 2-3 years. wink wink.

I could buy a base with cash, and I wouldn't have to finance much on the BL. Depending on financing (sub 2%) I might finance more than I need to, but regardless I know I'll never be close to being upside down. I'll look at lease terms, but I don't think there will be any upside for me.

Didn't mean to come across strongly. It's a cool rig, frustratingly close to being perfect in fact.

Eh, Base with Sasquatch, MT, and high package, seems like a pretty broadly appealing package. (Tires are whatever, I don't expect any rig to come with the tires I want.) Car companies aren't trying to use broad-strokes, they are aligning packages to get people to upgrade and spend more. Hence...

Hate to break it to you, but it's a poor choice to buy ANY brand new vehicle without money to burn. Whether you plan to get rid of it or die in it, it's not an investment. But yes, I do have disposable income. That doesn't mean I'm going to be throwing handfulls of cash out the window as I...

Anyone else planning on buying only to trade-in in a couple few years? Despite how much I like the overall rig, every single trim/option package requires me to make a compromise. I also hate every single color currently offered. The closest thing to what I want is the 2 Door Badlands with the...

The 6G looks closer to Scouts than the 1G for sure. The body stance makes the difference. 1G was taller and leaner I I , the Scout and 6G are ( ) fat. Too bad Scouts were so terribly built, I've always loved them. Either way Ford put the headlights on the 6G too far apart.

I love having a manual so I can coast as much as possible. And I by coast I mean turn the engine off and coast (leave the ignition in ACC). Infinity MPG. Kick start when needed. Back in the day, on the pass between my parents house and my house there was a 20 mile stretch of hwy that I could...

This would be drastically higher than the 4x4 Ranger with the 2.3

Maybe not. It's a heavy truck with a lot of running gear. I'd think a V6/V8 would be getting just about the same MPG as the 2.3 just because of what the bronco is. Hybrid and Diesel are the only ways to boost MPG numbers on something like this.

I thought window sticker MPG had to be listed "as equipped." Depending on the trim of the mustangs with the 2.3 the MPG ranges from 26 HWY to 32 HWY on the window sticker.

It's not a worry my dude, it's just annoying to shop for a 2-door (compact) rig that gets 16-19 MPG regardless of which of the two engines you choose. Same goes for the jeep and it's why I've never bought one. (I'd buy the jeep turbo diesel already if they put in the 2 door jeep.) At least Ford...

On those surveys Ford sent out they priced upgrading the Badlands to Sasquatch at $2500. Those are some very expensive tires they are adding.

If you're not doing off-roading and only care about looks get one of the lower trims and put a 2 inch lift and 35s on it. The badlands/Sasquatch have incredible and very expensive off-road features.

By shape of the headlight, do you mean.... round?

My favorite detail might be the overall lack of detail. Not that there are not details, but from 10+ feet away it just looks like a brick. A lot of the details don't get noticed until you look at for a long time, which is cool. Jeeps now look cheap because of all their over emphasized features...
