Subaru Forester MY 2010 slightly modified / 2 inch front lift, 2.5 inch rear lift, Pedders susupension, Sparco rims, BFGoodrich AT KO2, Thule Canyon XT 859 roof rack, STI front grille.

The wife has a Daihatsu Terios MY 2011. Sometimes I am also driving this car, too. Daihatsu is probably not known in the US, it also left the EU market in 2013. But this model is a full time 4WD with central diff lock, IFS and solid rear axle with coil springs and shocks. You can see a nice / funny review / test of the model by Jeremy Clarkson on TopGear :)

I really wanted to hold out for a Bronco, but my 2010 Escape was getting up in miles and couldn't wait for 2021. So I traded for a new '18 Wrangler JL 2 dr. Never gave Jeep a second thought but all the other compact SUV's were a yawnfest. I'm really loving the Wrangler and have gotten back into off roading because of it. If the new Bronco can compare then I would consider trading the Wrangler, but so far none of the specs or spy shots are getting me excited. Nothing indicates it's going to be a Wrangler competitor so far. (And that is hard for me to say as my family and I have bled blue all my life)

A concept(modern) version of my old 61 would be nice to see from Ford. The new 2016 F150's are better looking than the previous model, but they just don't get the grill right imho.

Wow that's a beautiful Uni. I have a short '63 BBW Uni waiting for a rehab and currently working on my son's '62 Uni doing a Crown Vic chassis swap.

I wonder if the new Ranger would make a good chassis donor for the old F100?

Curious what everyone here is driving currently. I'm in a Ford Flex and been thinking of going to a higher SUV like the Explorer but would prefer something more rugged. Jeep has been on my radar but its crap reliability scares me.

2013 Sonic hatchback is what I have to pull behind my RV. I'm really hoping I can flat tow the new Bronco so I can replace the Sonic.

I've had maybe that many broncos my whole life, but gees that many at once, all road worthy, is really cool!!!,

I have a full track '66 Mustang Fastback with nose-to-booty CorteX Racing suspension.
An '85 Mustang GT convertible, just like what I drove in college. But, this one has a built 347 and suspension. Going to sell her soon.
Last year I picked up a '16 Shelby GT350.
Man after my own heart, love old cars that actually get raced.

I have a Chevy sonic but really want a bigger car and have always loved the bronco. If I can’t get that then I’m getting a Jeep. If it wasn’t for my friends jeep I wouldn’t be here now.

How do you like the 10-speed auto for the Ranger?
I really like it it's smooth I never feel it hunting gears. Going down hills it stays a lower gear than I like but it seems all Ford transmissions do that.

I had an '86 5.0L Capri the same color that I bought new and then traded for an '89 Thunderbird SC. Mine had the T-tops. The Capri was my daily driver and nearly killed me several times in bad weather. I lost track of how many times that thing went sideways with no warning. Still wish I had kept it.

Here is my current DD:

2018 F-150 Special Edition 5.0L 4x4 3.73 axle ratios.
