The Bronco information drip feed

[SpursFan]

The coolant pipes?

Ours was manufactured a couple weeks before they switched to aluminium so we went though that as well. Only other issue, drive shaft replacement at about 80k. They do tow well but ours doesn't have tow package and our boat tows at about 7k (right about cayenne limits) which is why we picked up our expedition.

Anyone who thinks the military using something makes it special, has obviously never been in the military.

It still makes it special, but "special" does not always mean "good."

Yes, that is why I'm wondering what the Bronco was actually used for back in the day. Was it used by farmers like the Defender was? Was it used as a work vehicle? Camping?

So was the Bronco ever used for any expeditions anywhere like the Land Rover Defender and the Land Rover Discovery? Maybe not, or? And also, have the military anywhere used the Bronco? You know, like the Land Rovers. Yes/no?

yes

The Land Rover was a stout machine, though it did have some maintenance issues. However, like most mechanical things of the day, it was fairly easy to work on. The Early Bronco was similar in rugged performance.

What helped it achieve worldwide recognition, though, was its ability to be used by imperial colonizers to subjugate indigenous populations all over the ever-expanding British Empire. There probably isn't anywhere a LR went that an Early Bronco couldn't have, it was just that the kind of person driving it felt the urge to go to beautiful, rugged faraway places and forcefully dominate, infect, pillage, and kill the native inhabitants. That's the source of fame and legacy of Land Rover. I'm sure soldier in every battle waged by Norwegia has always kept that proud legacy in mind.

There you go, Land Rover is racist, and the Bronco isn’t.

Just like the seats in a Humvee post auction.

Subjugation has to be at least the Second oldest profession - as its been going on for 200,000-300,000 years, with origins in Africa. Statistically, I'm sure 100% of earth's 8B population has ancestry on Both sides of the subjugation equation. That's why its gonna be tough arithmetic to figure out how to right the wrongs and make everyone whole. Maybe that's why they're working so hard on AI...or why the UN owns ancestry.com?

I wonder if Ford is doing the same with the Bronco?

Do you really think the Bronco is launching on time now? I haven't been told anything (it's hard enough getting answers about unemployment right now with all the changes going on) but I can promise you this, ain't no way that launch is staying on schedule.

As of now it is on schedule (they haven't notified tier 1 suppliers that it isn't) That launch is far enough away that as long as things start to get back to semi-normal in mid June things should be okay. Some of the software guys and engineers are being super productive, really good way to look at bugs and fix things because they stay out of in office meetings and away from the micromanagers. It is also allowing some of the programmers to be night owls and tackling a multitude of issues as well as have time to do some fun/cool stuff they might not always have had time in the past to do. Based on some supplier reports summer shutdown weeks will be moved or eliminated all together.

Ford still has the foot on the gas as much as it can vs GM and FCA. Ford needs new product in the showroom, they've ben taking about the next 18 months for 3 years getting this right is the companies future.

dollars to donuts Job #1 slips to early spring

I'm not a day 1 buyer, so a slippage in production doesn't affect my purchase schedule, but I'm still hoping for more like late winter (thinking late January into February) if it slips at all.

The earlier these get into early buyers' hands, the sooner I can start watching YouTube videos and seeing how they actually perform in the real world.

I've seen a few articles posted on this. Ford might not want to show their hand, per se, but they might want to give em a wink and flash a face card or something...
