A 4-door Bronco will be significantly heavier than other comparable 4-door offroaders, given a 2.3L or 2.7L 4-door BD squatch will weigh 5226 or 5320 lbs, respectively, compared to the 4300 lb wrangler JK or a 4750 lb TRD 4-runner. I assume the squatched 4-door BD with it's steel bumper, bash...

Is it possible these are first headed down the road to Ann Arbor for emissions/mpg testing? It seems like we should be hearing about official EPA mpg estimates within the next month or two, or at least before the order banks close up in March? And I'm guessing it takes the EPA a while to...

Just remember these engine power specs are based on running premium fuel. The engine will run on regular just fine (without towing), but you won’t be able to unlock the full performance unless you pony up the extra 60c/gallon. I remember seeing an article about testing a 2.7 f150 with regular...

TIL I don’t know what real luxury is and thank god I don’t. The mid package with MGV is all the luxury I could ever imagine, but I’m a 33yo whose only driven a 2000 Isuzu rodeo, an 09 vw rabbit, and a 2016 4-door wrangler black bear. Maybe a jetson-esque feature that would spray sunscreen on my...

I think they’re referring to the manual Sasquatch that won’t be ready till my22. Autosqautch’s will be manufactured for my21.

I’m not sure where you are in Texas, but we constantly have the summer 30% chance of afternoon thunderstorms that usually end up being a miss. I plan on keeping the top off as much as possible and don’t want the possibility of a 5 minute rain to keep me from a day of full top off freedom, so...

I'm hoping for 250k+ miles or at least 12 years or so as a daily driver, road tripper, and off roader. However if gas becomes ridiculously expensive in the future, I might give it up earlier. My work/daily driver currently is an 09' VW rabbit (inline5 2.5L) with 229K miles (it's made me a...

Will most of these tunes be safe with 87 octane for regular driving/road trips, and then use 93 for real performance boost? Or does getting a tune require you to permanently suck away an extra 60+ cents a gallon? Also, are there tunes that would add modest hp/torque still running on 87, say...

Damn dude, that's my EXACT build! Nice! I was debating black or carbonized, but the Stig pics from the factory today confirmed my original Carbonized Gray choice. I'm debating whether or not to just add the towing myself and save $500 since it appears to be as easy as the wrangler to add, but...

If you want sport mode on the badlands, you just put it into baja mode (which apparently is just sport mode in 4wd), and then switch it from 4wd to 2wd. Basically to go sport mode on the badlands is just one extra step of switching from 4wd to 2wd after selecting baja mode. At least this is...

I currently have a 09' Volkswagen Rabbit (my wife has the 2016 4 door wrangler), but I have 228k and counting on my vw. If a VW economy car can get comfortably over 200k, I'd assume this Bronco can easily beat that with good maintenance. VW's are apparently notorious for reliability issues. I...

I'm getting the 35" sasquatch MT tires when the vehicle is delivered. Apparently these are technically "maximum traction" tires and not mud-terrain tires. Either way, I'll live with it for the first 40k miles or so till they wear out and replace them with BFG KO2 all-terrain tires.

I was in your same boat for a while deciding being between a BD and a BL, and I've decided to stick with a squatched BD. For my build, a squatched BD is $50,010 or an unsquatched BL is $50,765. (my goal was to keep it under $50k before TTL). Looking through tirerack.com, it will cost an extra...
