This 100x.
Also, Federal land is OUR land as citizens. If you wanted your children to inherit your personal land, you wouldn't go dumping antifreeze and whipping PBR cans into the woods, would you? So why would you on federal land?
2 weeks out, call insurance guy. Bend over and spread wide, because metro Detroit.
(look up no fault. Dumbest thing I've ever heard of. The unlimited medical is nice, but there's no reason it has to be tied to no-fault)
Day of: show up at 10AM, get disappointingly low trade-in quote, decide...
You need to take the Ford Rouge tour or just a how it's made on automobiles.
There's no "setup" so to speak. Line worker grabs the part his workstation tells him to, scans it, and bolts it on. A blue base manual could be followed by a cactus squatched 2.7L badlands, followed by 3 Rangers in red...
This is my theory too. Bronco is probably going to have a smaller turbo so it gets spooled up sooner.
This makes sense for towing or off-roading where you want more torque at low speeds. There could also be some de-tuning for engine longevity reasons, but I don't think Ford is putting the RS...
Provides two personal anecdotes as a rebuttal. 😂
FWIW, I wouldn't be considering the bronco if it was fixed top only. There's 30 other bland SUVs with AWD and another dozen 4x4 that go over any of the trails I'll be taking my Bronco on.
Well 4runner sold 129k units in 2020, while wrangler sold 201k. So the market prefers removable tops 3:2.
Then you have to consider how many incremental customers you would get that absolutely refuse to buy a removable top vehicle. (I bet that number is very small, and further I bet the...
The MIC windows and the top come off in one piece.
The "non-removable" means the windows can't be removed from the MIC top. But they can be removed from the vehicle.
This is opposed to the modular top where the windows can be taken out, but the top left on. This basically means you can "open"...
But, it sometimes snows here in Michigan. I NEED 4x4! /s
During our last 8" snow, I took the FWD Mazda w/ 4.5" of ground clearance and snow tires out.
My favorite part was crawling past the Jeep Patriot that was spinning all 4 of its bald-ass all-seasons.
Yeah, $10k over it would be gone in a heartbeat.
1) I still have another car I can drive
2) Green is coming for MY22, maybe Ford will even be generous and offer manual mid on black diamond.
If some moron with poor impulse control couldn't be bothered to place a $100 reservation back in July...
I just measured my arm span (getting a wetsuit for a dive trip), and it's about 29" from armpit to fingertips.
Using some rough photoshop estimation, from the bumper forward, or from front seat backward, there is a 16" wide ZFC (zone of foresaken cargo) that cannot be reached without crawling...
... and GVWR and cupholder count.
Maybe we should normalize everything per passenger and/or per door too. I think you'll find that in terms of pound-per-door, the 2 door is a fat pig.
Hey now, I would vote Black diamond could be considered the base model, and Badlands is the uplevel trim. At least BD has LT all-terrains, not this silly P-metric car tire business...
My dad had a Gen II Bronco. I loved flipping the seat forward and scrambling up into the back seat. If anything, the 2 door should be more fun for children.
Yeah Detroit is rough. This was a pre-production C8 Corvette that got the wheels stolen off it.
Actually one of the first things I would want is a shield for the catalytic converter.
