Keep in mind heavier generally also means tougher....You might lose .1 miles per gallon, but these turbo engines don't seem to care much about a little extra weight, so the power loss will be negligible. To me the mileage lost is piece of mind that you won't get stuck out on a trail or have your...

This wasnt covered under warranty? I'd open a case with Ford.

That is a great video. Really looking forward to the 35x12.5x17 if it ever comes. I might settle for the 315/70/17 for my Bronco, but this seems like a solid tire for snow/wet conditions and seems like they addressed a few issues with the ko2 that I didnt even know existed.

Biggest issue is going to be the fuel. I love my Bronco, but they just don't get good mileage when compared to a civic. It will be a big weekly wake up call. If you compared it with an older jk jeep or a Ram truck then yes, they get great mileage. Plus what bulldogbear said. It's not just the...

I don't think Ford could make money on the 29,999 base bronco, which is what they first offered it at. Manual trans, 2.3 turbo. The base also came with cruise, electric windows, locks, etc....It was pretty loaded for a base. I remember a base jeep was hand crank windows, no power locks, no ac...

For 2k more, in your scenario. I'd take the Badlands. As a daily, the Bronco is a better vehicle and roomier. In your comparison, jeep will only let you get the 3.6 in a manual and the 2.3 with the turbo would be a lot more fun. As mentioned I had just done a quick comparison with similar...

The rear drive ratios by themselves mean nothing in comparing two different vehicles. Did you take into account transmission ratios for both vehicles, and crawl ratio's for the low gear for an overall number not just the rear. I can put 33s and 35s on either the bronco or the rubi with no...

Not clear on the axle upgrade. The Rubi comes with upgraded axles with front and rear lockers. Do you mean the package with 35" tires? I didnt pick that on either build. Does the badlands even have a front locker without adding SAS? I just picked two builds and tried to get them close without...

I just completed a few builds...badlands 2 door vs 2 door rubi. Both white. Both auto. Both hardtop. Badlands forced me into the 2.7 so I added the 2.0 turbo with etorque. No extra features....Rubi msrp is 52285. Ford msrp is 55630 without acquisition fee...

She must have a lift on it if you went 285 70 17.

I love my base Bronco. I'm agreed with the other posts that it was a profit play. I'm sure there was no money to be made on it and 35k vehicles just arent what manufacturers want to sell anymore. At one time you could get a rubicon for 5k under msrp and a Bronco for 5-10k over. Things have...

You are also at sea level and I'm at 6000 feet. I know we take a hit up here at higher elevations. Turbos help, but no air makes a big difference too. If I was in Florida and had the performance tune I'd probably have a rocket ship in my Bronco too. I gotta get that performance tune.....

I had a v6 mustang with the 3.7 a tune, throttle body, and the shorter gears. I loved that thing. It was fast and fun. Not as fast as my v8 mustang, but way more fun on the turns. Impressive you can keep up with 37s. Even stock it still ran pretty well.

Agreed, but you are running the same gearing the op is talking about with a 33. A 37 will have much greater weight and much larger diameter than a 33. Turbo's are amazing though and they can compensate for larger/heavier tires but only once the car is going and not from a standstill. So 0 to 20...

I think the 4.7 gearing and those super light weight stock 35s is sluggish enough, especially off the line. I wouldnt want to do 37s and 4.46. Just my 2 cents.

Sport mode helps a little with the throttle response issue at startup. I'm hoping to get the Ford performance tune one day though.

Yep...Turbos are amazing. You can throw all sorts of weight at them and they just dont car. Either one will work.

I bet you can get 2 to 3k more than the dealer offered. The used car market isnt what it used to be.

Maybe they traded it in for a Chevy because thats what they wanted? People change their minds all the time and Broncos, arent for everyone. I'd still do some background checks on that Bronco if you are seriously considering it.

I wouldnt go back to a 2021. If anything get a 2024. You might end up with even more issues than you had before from the details you posted on that rig. So many posts on people having issues with 2021s on this forum. I was lucky enough to get a 2023, but if I had a 2021, I'd be trading it in for...
