This is what I’ve come to believe. I really want the bronco. I’m sitting back until B&P gets more accurate. Not even going to stress anymore. But if a 2014 f150 5.0 4x4 comes along in red or blue at a good price I’m jumping on that bad boy! Drove a 2009 5.4 4x4 and fell in love with the truck...
To me the entire point of going up a trim from base model is to get mid package. It still stings to not be able to get manual with mid package. I’m not spending 40k to not have it with BD, I just can’t give up the chance for a manual. If I was getting a Ford F-150 v8 I wouldn’t mind not having a...
I would love to have the twin turbo, but I plan on keeping my bronco long term. For all my mechanic brothers we know what it takes to replace those turbos. But it’ll definitely be a hell of a lot of fun before they go out. Just drove a Ford F-150 2.7 and my god it had me almost forking out the...
The 2.7 to me is a better engine than the 2.3. I’ve had 2.3 engines that have failed in mustangs, especially kid owned mustangs who don’t take care of them. I would love to have a 2.7 IF I had the money to always have some one else work on it. It’s mustang 4.6 SOHC vs 4.6 DOHC all over again...
The 2.7 isn’t trash, it’s just a technicians worst nightmare for replacing turbos. That’s my only hang up on it, I will do my own work once warranty is up. Look up rangers with tunes and performance parts, they are getting above 300rwhp. My 2000 Nissan Frontier 4x4 only has 175hp and I think...
Didn’t know that. I hope aftermarket catches up quick, the ranger looks amazing with the 6 inch lift. I’d pay extra to get the axles to make a 6 inch lift work.
Think it’ll work? Isn’t the bronco frame and suspension based on the rangers? Just wondering because the rangers have a 6 inch lift kit, even if it’s not exactly the same I would imagine it wouldn’t take long before bronco got that 6 inch lift kit.
So far I haven’t replaced any 2.7L engines or 10 speed transmissions. I have replaced the turbos though, if you neglect the oil changes or use cheap oil it will clog the oil feed lines and the turbos will fail. I absolutely hate replacing those turbos. That’s the only major reliability problem I...
I had just posted about MGV in another thread. I don’t think it’ll be worse but better than my black leather seats in my black car. I live in the high desert CA, it’s normally 90’s and for a couple months it’s 110’s. With my sun shade up i never notice my seats being too hot, my seats don’t get...
I keep hearing mgv will be hot in summer time but do we actually know this? I have a black car with black leather seats, as long as I leave my sun shade up it’s not really a problem. I don’t even notice it, I can’t remember if I ever did notice it even when I first got my car. For the record I...
I get what the op is posting. I want base-man-squatch or I want to treat myself with BD/Mid which pretty much comes out to the same price the way I build both of them. But I’m not giving up manual so won’t go BD/Mid. I’m not jumping from a 42k build to almost a 49k build to have manual and mid...
Remember the launch video when the bronco was going into the dirt whoops and getting some air time? That’s what I want to do. Not often. But that’s what I want.
Is it confirmed that Base-man-squatch is a thing? That’s the only thing pushing me to BD, I won’t be getting mid package and don’t care for MGV. That’s a good bump in price just to have a manual. I’m thinking of throwing in the towel and just getting base squatch/hard top/mod bumper/aux...
I brought up my BD build and checked out that $695 stereo option. It truly looks like for only $695 you get the 12’ stereo. Ford is forcing me out of the manual, now I kind of want mid package for my first new car purchase ever with a 12’ screen. Never needed it before this thread but now I want it
I’m torn between Base-Man-squatch loaded with accessories with a 7 speed if it becomes available, or a BD stock with a 7 speed. Or splurge a little bit and get BD with mid package, but I’ll loose the manual ?.
Too many combos. Wish ford made 3 damn trims with a ton of different options instead...
