I reserved a 2dr Badlands right after the reveal (as quickly as I could get the badly broken ford website to do so). But I have to admit at this point I am NOT AT ALL exited about this new bronco...and I bleed blue. I'm finding myself coming up w/bs excuses to not cancel my order and buy the thing. Here's my issues:
#1 IFS. Who asked for IFS? Someone explain to me HOW an IFS truck competes w/jeep in any way?
#2 Turbos. Ya I realize this is the way the wind blows at ford these days, but really? Another ecoturd hoverdiesel?
#3 Front diff. Are we seriously going to ape the HORRIBLY UNRELIABLE split diff that GM cursed the world with 30 years ago and add lockers?
#4 Electric lockers. Unless there has been a REVOLUTIONARY innovation in the world of electric lockers they are JUNK!
#5 THE #MANSQUATCH DEBACLE! Well covered in other threads, but when I saw a shift knob w the letter "C" on it I forgot all the other issues and was READY TO BUY! Now I find out that I have to figure out a DIYsquatch to complete the truck as I had envisioned it...thanx ford!
#6 GOAT modes. 25 years to think about it and this is what they came up with...GOAT modes? <FACEPALM!>
All told I will probably STILL buy the thing because it says BRONCO on it. But I feel as if it should say HYUNDAI SANTAFE on the tailgate. Would save me $50k
