  1. The 7-speed manual transmission - What Car & Driver thinks after 40,000 miles

    I bought the Bronco because of the manual being available in the base model, a Tacoma 4x4 manual required going up in trim levels. Yes, the removable top and 2 door and hoe good it looks and... made me order one, but the base price $28,500 for a 4x4 with a manual was just awesome and that's...
  2. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    Ray, quit trying to paint this as something it wasn't, there was no reprimanding, there was a casual conversation. I didn't respond to the rude owner, not one word. So quit trying to paint the picture of an angry guy yelling at people in the service dept. I've been to this service department...
  3. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    Some of you just want to be the devil's advocate, but it doesn't work here. I work in public schools and some of the responses above remind of the time when a driver complained to our principle that a crossing guard hurt their feeling when she yelled at them for crossing the crosswalk while she...
  4. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    Your just being argumentative for the sake of it, this all happens in the moment and after the fact you want to second guess what happened. I'll spell it out for you. Porter slammed the door just feet away. As I was explaining why not to, the owner walked by smiling, at presumably what I'm...
  5. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    What are you talking about? We are in the drive of the service area, my Bronco is sitting 40 feet away waiting on paperwork to leave, when the porter right in front of me slams the door of the other owner's Bronco right in front of me. I engage in a conversation with the porter and the owner...
  6. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    Keep in mind it all happened in the moment, meaning the porter slammed HIS door and we were next his Bronco, and I was really helping him out, even though I was also correcting the porter for slamming my Bronco's door. But I wasn't, since he had just slammed the door of the other owner and we...
  7. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    I'm not sure if a record, but it's sure funny that the posts that piss off the most also get the most likes ;) I've only got 7 threads, but this one's "pissing off" everyone while getting the most likes too... Hmm. I appreciate what you're saying and I have seen it here before, I guess I...
  8. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    You're missing the point and getting bent about the mall crawler thing when the point is how fast he got angry about someone daring to even ask about touching his precious Bronco when a half of dozen people who work at the dealership are going to be touching it and more; some driving it! We can...
  9. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    Mine's a manual too, but both porters were capable driving it, they just didn't know about the windows. They were generally interested and good guys who wanted to do right. Every time I call for an appointment they offer pick up, but I decline and tell them it's a manual, and then they say...
  10. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    That was the beginning of my whole idea, maybe it got lost along the way, I tend to give too much details... My boss loved on my audits and reports, but hated in my emails. ;) While I shared my experience and the lot guys too, it was more about the idea of what you're talking about above and...
  11. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    I thought as much, otherwise I would have said that's an ambitious run. Last year I bent my sliders on Holcomb Creek after the snow run off made it far worse than normal. So, I dialed it down a notch this year going on the Squeeze instead.
  12. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    You're right to feel that way. No problem. I think the porter's comment was more about the different attitudes of the customers, and that was more my point too. I've met a lot of Bronco owners at runs and events and all are ready and willing to show them off, while per the porter, the owners...
  13. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    John Bull is one of the tougher runs, have fun!
  14. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    I understand, and I don't bring it in dirty and or muddy, but it's still dusty in all the nooks and crannies. The last run I went on was all dust, so even an undercarriage wash isn't getting all of that, the tech I've spoken with understand that, and he's a fan of Broncos being used. The same...
  15. "DON'T TOUCH MY BRONCO!"

    That's a stretch of a comparison. I would never do that to someone's home. We're at a dealership where that door is going to be opened and closed many times by many people, the porter's words. You replied.
