Some of you might recognize my handle - I was an active poster here until I had to nope-out from my Bronco order because it didn't fit my family needs. (Sigh!) I live in a dense city environment. A Bronco has appeared in my parking garage - and AFIK it's the exact build that I was going to...

Today I visited the Bronco in person in New Jersey. I'm out. I know, I've been an active writer on this board, but the Bronco just does not fit my needs. There is zero hesitation to my decision. I'm out. Impressions - I saw a 4 door Badlands, non-Squatch. The back seat was indeed too...

Someone said that they’re avoiding metallic paint due to pin stripes. Is that true? Non metallic does better at hiding pinstripes? I’ve Seen arguments againstrl really darl or light colors as to hiding dirt. True? so are you all saying that cactus gray and Area 51 are good for practical...

I am going to see the Broncos in person next Wed. in New Jersey and cannot freaking wait! My very first test, above all else, is to go to a 4-door and set the driver and passenger seats for myself, and then get in the back seat. I have to test if I can fit behind myself, because my boy is...

Forgive me if this has been asked before or is obvious to experienced off readers. in getting a Badlands, non-Squatch, stock rims. Everybody goes nuts for the painted rims but stock suits me. this is coming with All Terrain tires. I don’t know which ones. Do you? KO2 tires seem to get great...

This is only the second vehicle that I will have bought at a dealer. The current ride has been almost problem-free for nine years. I've not had to have any big warranty experiences. So - if I buy the Bronco at Dealer A, which is about 60 miles away, can I have a warranty issue fixed at Dealer...

Does anybody know, what has been the experience of jeep owners with ragtops and fancy touchscreens? Do thieves steal those touchscreens? Are they somehow chipped so that they’re useless to a thief? I’ve been wondering that. The last convertible in my family was decades ago and it was a pretty...

Badlands MGV person here. MIC top only. Lux too, so I do have extra sound deadening in my package. My order is in. I’m in this for real. The free headliner sounds nice. The price is great. But what if I don’t like it? Too hot/cold, doesn’t do much for the sound, don’t like the look, patches...

If I get the Engine Block Heater, will I have a cord always visible, sticking out from the front of the vehicle? I remember seeing extension cords sticking out from people's vehicles back in the 80s and 90s in Buffalo, but I don't know if that was inevitable, or laziness. Anybody know?

She Who Must Be Happy changed her mind. Area 51 is no longer forbidden. Woot! I was really looking at Carbonized Gray, at her request. We’ve had black and silver in the past. White no good. She didn’t like the reds and yellow and bright metallic blue. Too garish for a daily driver for her, and...

I dropped by a Ford dealer today to quickly see antimatter blue - did not like it, everything was black except that one spot that is reflecting off the sun. Kona Blue would have been a better choice, IMO. I also got to see and feel “vegan leather” (I think the guy called it “active X”...

I have an October reservation so I clearly expect to have a late delivery. I’d be chuffed to nuts if I got a 2021 delivery. But I knew that when I delayed my Rez - wanted to let the bugs work through the system first. Today I finally sent my builds to my dealer. Two options, a Black Diamond 4D...

Three Bronco Sports, side by side, in Secaucus NJ. They look nice but I’m really looking for the Big Bronco. What’s the difference between Alto Blue and Antimatter Blue? All of these suffered a bit from lack of ambiance due to the setting. This is really a working vehicle dealership, not...

I hope you can access this. The Wall Street Journal just wrote an absolute love letter of a review for the new hybrid F-150. It has electric generator technology that would be gonzo great for the overlanding world. Ahem! 2022? 2023? I had zero interest in a hybrid design until I read this...

OK folks, it’s go time. Who’s going to be our first actual purchaser? Let us know!

There are a lot of young professionals where I live. Lot of disposable income. We are lousy with Jeeps in my parking garage, they’re a dime a dozen. Even Rubicons are downright common, though I question how many get any more off-road than driving on Northern Jersey’s legendarily shitty roads...

My problem - I want dual tops. But I live in an apartment and park in a parking ramp. I don’t have a personal garage. I do have a storage locker - it’s quite full. So other than dropping big coin on another locker, how to store the hard top in Warm seasons, how to store the soft top In cold...

https://www.outsideonline.com/2419909/mercedes-electric-sprinter-van-2023-review Good discussion here about why an electric off-road vehicle is simply not yet feasible. Weight, distance, recharging logistics, power needed for uphill driving. For now, the electric car remains a city-only concept.

Apologies if this has been answered ... I’ve seen people say that a Badlands includes basically everything in a Squatch package except for the big ass mud tires. Instead, BL non-Sas gets 33 all terrains. Let’s say I get a Badlands non-Sas now. A few years down the road, now it’s no longer new...

Ok, I’ll go first. my reservation is Oct. 8. Who’s got a rez later than Oct 8? Let’s find the last straggler! My Rez was Black Diamond, but I’m pretty sure I’m now going Badlands 4 door non Squatch carbonized gray high, maybe lux still debating soft and hard tops
