  1. Lightning safety in non-metal-roof vehicles like Bronco?

    I go camping in my aluminum truck topper in the summer, and I don't worry about the (sometimes violent) thunderstorms we get up here in the mountains. In theory, the metal shell of the car body and truck topper should act like a Faraday cage if it was struck by lightning. How is that going to...
  2. No manual on 4-door Base?

    Jeep offers a manual transmission for 4-door Base. Why not the Bronco? Biggest disappointment of the B&P night for me. I don't understand Ford's decision. What manufacturer doesn't offer a manual on the base model, if they offer it at all?
  3. Electronic parking brake?

    I’m pretty sure the Bronco is going to get an electronic parking or e-brake. Do we know where the controls are? On the dash or on the center console? if it’s in the center console, I would be worried about my dog accidentally releasing the parking brake by stepping on the button. I think that’s...
  4. Poll: hard top color preference demographics

    I wonder if there’s a correlation between hardtop color preferences and age group. I know a lot of people are going for a retro build, and I’m curious how that shakes out. Are there other retro design elements you’d like to see available? Wheels? I wouldn’t mind getting some 80s style vinyl...
  5. Front axle engagement — integrated wheel ends (IWE)?

    Looks like Ford is still using integrated wheel end (IWE) actuators on the F150 and Ranger to connect the front hubs to the front axle when 4WD is engaged. Does anyone know if the Bronco will also use this system? I have read about numerous failures of the IWE vacuum-actuated system and I’m...
  6. “Advanced” transfer case — center differential?

    The description (below) of the Advanced tcase on Ford’s website makes it sound like there is some sort of center differential in it (Torsen, viscous, clutch pack?) based on the phrase “continuously varies power...” It doesn’t seem to imply a simple on/off automatic 4H engagement. If indeed the...
  7. Tail lights: tail as turn, or separate bulb?

    Here's a decent shot of the standard tail lights. Looks like at least 2 bulbs (brake, reverse at bottom), which means the brake light would also flash for your turn signal, but in the photo it looks like there might be a third bulb at the top. Turn signal? Or it might be an illusion...
