T&C Road Drive - obviously going to be a little biased coming from a dealer.

I intend to catch ‘em all, but I have heard a consistent theme that provides some vindication: “Cloth seats preferred”. 👌👌. The factory Leather option seems to get the beat down because:

1). Not ventilated.
2). Hot with top down.
3). Uncomfortable lumbar support.

…Everyone so far seems to like the look of the MGV though.

The one thing really going against the Defender and other Rovers...they cannot be flat towed. Not sure the numbers matter but a huge percentage of RV's are towing Wranglers and I bet there will be a large number with Broncos behind RV's in the coming years.
Yeah that's a decent advantage, I personally don't see too many people towing cars with RVs but just could be my area.

I noticed these comments too. I’m assuming the uncomfortable support is universal but was surprised the leather was getting bagged in favor of the cloth or MGV. Man, I haven’t had a vehicle with cloth seats in over 20 years…

TFL breaking out the cellphone and ANNOUNCING THAT JEEP IS ALSO DOING BIG TIRES before it was public on camera (embargo delay but still) is a giant eye raising moment as far as impartiality is concerned.

After what they did to ford earlier , and then the first time they take it off road they essentially use it to advertise for the competition becuase of a text message from the CEO of jeep??

pretty radically unprofessional

I wouldn't hate cloth, but I can't keep stuff in my vehicle super clean. Plus a toddler won't be helping. MGV and rubber floors work well for me so I can take be liberal in my cleaning measures.

I enjoyed the Road and Track review- well written
Hmmm....

"Road noise is minimal, and the modular hard top keeps things relatively quiet and calm."

im actually shocked they did that. Hope ford hunts down their VIN and cancels it
Yep, keeping with the theme from last year (e.g., “Ford jail”, “#freeTFL”), I call it recidivism. 😉

My SE 2020 gets dumb hot on a wireless charger at home, so I doubt its a charger issue. I think its a phone issue.
I have the same issue depending on how it sits on there. I do have an Otter case on it as well

I find this observation from the Truth About Cars review to be a little troubling:

The Wrangler’s materials feel more upscale – and no one considers the Jeep’s cabin to be the height of luxury.

Now, I expected the Bronco to be pretty basic and not luxury car fancy. But I have friends with Jeeps and their interiors seem SUPER cheap and crappy to me. Is the Bronco really WORSE - even in the lux trims?
Its very true. The Broncos interior is pretty disappointing. Problem is every trim gets the base interior, there is no upgrade of nicer interior finishes like in every other Ford. Unless you count a tiny piece of MGV on the door an upgrade.

I'm assuming they meant the MIC. Every review I've read had at least some incorrect info. Or are you hmming the fact they may have tested an actual mod top? Because, now I am too lol
