James May ROASTS 2D Stropp Bronco

[bassist]

Half the video was about a car wash and snacks. His only insight was that an off-road vehicle on large tires doesn't handle as well as other cars on the road. Thanks for the knowledge bomb.

Tell us you never watched Top Gear or the Grand Tour without telling us you never watched either program.

His programming is super boring without the two antagonist. Also he is use to luxury high end vehicles at this point not base model vehicle.

You certainly have an opinion.

Meanwhile, he has had some fantastic other series where it’s just him.

Japan one was okay but they need the trio to really make decent content. As they age it's gotten to bland and about making money on their side projects.

I liked the one where he scaled up toys to life-sized projects.

It is essentially a 2 door Heritage Limited with Hoss 3.0 Fox shocks, and the paint job... Including the flares.
But with a wash out interior.

Isn't more like a First Edition having everything of a WT and a BL (including the SBD) and adds significantly more complicated paint and the Fox's that the FE never got?

Not completely sure, but I believe they usually run the body, hood, tailgate and all the doors through paint together to make sure they are the exact same color and stay together through assembly. That Stroppe probably requires some different logistics, and at least the matte black isn't a standard Bronco color.

My 2 door badlands with 2.7 for $45,000 was the best deal ever. 99% the Stroppe for $30,000 less. The price is about the only thing I would agree with him on.

The rest of his self deprecating/sarcastic humor is missing the other two guys to play off him. Otherwise he comes off as dry English humor.

And who buys a lifted truck with 35’s and complains about the on road ride? How does ford give him a Stroppe for the day and not take him to the Texas off roadeo???

I will admit, on my way to Texas off roadeo, I stopped at that Buc-ee’s, that is a huge car wash.

Good luck to him and his gin.

It comes with the Heritage body panels, square fenders.
Heritage limited was effectively a Badlands Sasquatch with lux.
Stroppe adds the Fox shocks.
They are painted at MAP in white and sent to Penske for the color additions.

Ah, forgot about that. It's is "special" and special doesn't generally equate to low, mass production cost. If it had been up to ol' Henry, we could have had a Bronco any color we wanted.....as long as it was black.

that explains a lot

Free speech for the morons too…

The Stropp was not designed to be an interstate cruiser, yet that is where he took it to test. A pretty useless test to say the least, and certainly not one that I would put any credence to.

Except that’s what they’re more likely to be used for than other less expensive trims.

Sadly, you are most likely correct. However, I do hope that some get used as they were meant to be used.

They were meant to make Ford more money!

Too bad he didn’t get to properly take it off road to see why we put up with all the trade offs on road. That’s like taking a Corolla to the Off Roadeo and saying the car sucks

He should be forced to drive a Wrangler on the way back and then re-evaluate the road manners of the Bronco.
