Wonderful looking bronco. My wife snagged the diesel, and I must say that it's a hell of a powerplant. We'd have gone with a bronco similar to yours if our option were Jeep's t4-banger and NA-6. The 2.7L eco is a great engine. I will note that the diesel is somewhat unique in actually allowing...

It's a great concept. It is simply over priced at almost 2x like Wrangler, bronco, and 4runner offerings. It may earn that premium price point (the aesthetic is certainly wonderful). However they're going to need a few years to work out the gremlins of their Frankenstein construction and...

She's got what looks to be a pretty beefy transfer case, a beefy pumpkin and rear axle, 33s from factor, skid plates (standard), and wheel wells which appear designed for 35s. Everything about this design screams off-roading. In the context of CAFE, it may simply be more practical to let the...

Wonderful.dealerahip. I like the not so subtle offer to convert orders to a Wrangler build (on favorable terms). I hope that this may light a fire under ford's ass. Not a good look when your #1 launch dealership is providing open referral to your competitor.

Consumers (generally) don't want to rev the car to 6k rpm to get access to their power-band. They generally perceive "power" as something more akin to torque: i.e. how much do I need to rev it to get the power I need? This is why the 3.6L pentastar and 4.0L atkinson cycle are viewed as...

You might want to take a look at the Rubi Diesel. The added weight up-front really helps improve steering and ride quality. My wife just snagged one (she needed a new vehicle), and I must say that I'm very impressed. The engine/transmission combo works particularly well. And, the cost is pretty...

Great challenges. I'll address item #3 first. There's a range of quoted lease residuals rates by car type (4D residuals were higher), location, time of quote and other factors. The numbers quoted for Jeeps, 4Runners and Broncos were generally similar to the extent that I didn't want to bias...

I might encourage potential purchasers to look at lease residuals as an indicator of 3 (or 4-5) year cost of ownership including depreciation. Lease residuals provide an unbiased market expectation of depreciation and expected sales price when you exit your purchase. I just wrapped up a...

Y'all think they can get those BMW engines into the US (emissions)? They're the best options I've seen in a SUV offering in a long time (especially the diesel). The V6 ford ecoboosts seems to be the only engine that can rival.

It'll certainly be interesting on price. I'd read that they were targeting below 40k british ($55k usd) which would be great. But $80k is another matter entirely. Not sure I can sell that one to the wife. I'll be honest. I'm the black sheep in that the non-removable top is a big draw for me. I...

Any thoughts on the forum regarding this project? Was just turned onto it and must say that the esthetic is spectacular. It sounds like they have the US market in mind on the build. They're targeting Europe for 2023 with a US release presumably after. Tempted to hang with my 97 4runner build...

Forgive me if this question has been asked. Any chance y'all are extending this offer into November for those that are willing to make a new reservation?
