I think FCA needs to fix their frontal crash test rating before the add more horsepower to the wheels... not to mention the gritty ride on the highway with the SFA. Bigger doesn’t always mean better especially if you can’t keep the occupants safe.
Man those seats were like trying to move an old couch out of a top floor apartment and heavy as a dead body.
I got locked out of my account with some sort of error a while back, that is actually me
Lmfao how did you get this picture of me??
We’re almost to the finish line.Just caught up on all 17 pages and no extra insider info on the doors or roof panels
There was a rumor way back about the doors being stowable in the cargo area and I want to know SO BADLY if it will be true. Doesn't seem that impossible if they are window frameless.
I looked at the Explorer build and price a while back and there was a Base listed but it said "Fleet only", now trims in the Explorer B&P start with XLT, hopefully a Base Bronco will be available retail.Ha! Honestly my small snippets of inside info has come from outside this forum, buy people a drink or two or just be nice and you’ll be surprised what they might hint at
Also, things change. I know I was pretty adamant that there wouldn’t be a base model bronco. I was told that almost 2 years ago, I think things may have just changed. Never know, and while I have hinted at a few things and had some things hinted to me I know I am in for a lot of surprises on Monday!
I think this only works if the actual door skins aren't structural and narrow, and the actual structural part of the door is the framed, tubular bars that are left in place of the skins.Not a rumor, there were actual patents were there not? An frameless windows would be a requirement for that to work so all evidence is pointing to that being a def possibility
edit: here we go ??
Your perspective is off...The takeaways I get from this photo are three things;
1. The blue line, is a window frame rail attached to the cage so the doors can be frameless.
2. The green circle, is where it looks to be a speaker. I don’t know why else it would get wide there.
3. The red circle, I think it’s just the center console or just something we are seeing inside the vehicle. I don’t think that’s the door tubes we’ve heard about. You can clearly see the passanger seat through the sand. I’d feel we would be able to see these tubes better if they indeed were there.
Also I wonder what the black cross member is exactly. I also like that the cage is paint matching.
The pieces you're pointing out on the windshield appear to be filler pieces for models that don't have the roof rack.So... Is this the modular hard top (body coloured) or dual top? Or is this what it would look like regardless of the top when it's removed?
Curious as to the body lines across the top of the windshield? Not one piece? You'd see this kinda build on a normal, non removable hard top where the side section is welded to the roof, but why here?
And the circled area... What is going on here?
The black bar looks in front of and below the coloured bars? I hope this isn't the tubular door... If it's not, would make it real easy to crack your head off it getting in and out?
And why doesn't any of that area seem to line up with the windshield A pillar corner area?
OR... Is this the modular top and the black bar (circled) is a roll bar running side to side directly behind the front seats, from B pillar to B pillar??
EDIT: Those black areas on the window frame must be for the roof rack mount, as seen in the indoor black top Bronco pic posted on the forum. ????
Don't see why not as the doors won't be attached to the roof. But a mesh sun shade does wonders!
