No I don't. Ford themselves stated that the free space to add the hitch brace is why the tow rating went up. They make no mention of the suspension. Suspension has never been the issue.

I'm glad Ford finally confirmed what a lot of us already knew about the tow rating. It's entirely hitch limited despite all the people who seem to think an off road suspension can't tow. The comments about frame updates are too funny. Like the frame stiffness was the limiting factor on a 3.5k...

Your normal insurance isn't risk rated for all of your driving to be on off-road trails. This is much more comparable to track insurance. Track insurance on something that costs as much as a Bronco is about $350 per weekend / event with a deductible that is 10% of the value of the car. The risk...

Well if the battery pack weights are close to Tesla that means it's close to a 200kw battery which is on par with the hummer. This is going to be an expensive truck for sure.

It can also tow as much as the bronco.

I don't like all these new electronics either. I'm pretty disappointed that ford included an electronic starter. I have had those fail on me in the past and then I'm left stranded. You know what doesn't fail? These pythons I call arms. I prefer to manually crank start my vehicles. It keeps me...

Why is everyone saying the Gladiator is a sales failure? They moved 77,542 units in 2020 which was a ~94% increase YoY from 2019. It's a high margin vehicles since it heavily based on the wrangler and is expensive for what it is. Why would Ford not want to get in on that?

Not a single person is asking for it to tow as much as a normal truck. Normal trucks of this category tow between 7500-8500lbs. People want 5000lbs minimum out of the bronco. It opens up A LOT of options for towing very reasonable things like campers, bigger boats, side by sides, etc. These are...

The vehicle is 100% hitch limited. I'm not sure why this is not clear to everyone. It has a tow capacity that exactly matches the class 2 receiver limits no matter the wheelbase, engine choice, suspension, or tire size you choose. No, it couldn't possibly be the hitch......it must be because it...

My wife's car based unibody Audi Q5 can tow 4400 lbs. It has a shorter wheelbase, less power, and a suspension designed for a plush luxury ride. There really is no excuse.

You can just get a slightly more practical Lotus. Here's my daily at the dragon and at Sebring. Just got back from a week long road trip with the wife for our anniversary too. Surprising amount of room in the trunk and 'back seat' (read: rear shelf).

It's probably the exact same franken bronco used in the materials video. It's just a pre-production car meant for testing and training. It is not representative of a production vehicle.

OR...because it's a prototype... It doesn't have the same ride height as the final production version.

Except it doesn't look bad. Blue and yellow are complimentary colors and it will actually look pretty good. It's going to tie into the color of the badge on the outside of the truck. Even if you have a 2 door and the blue comes through the door card it will still look good. I think a lot of...

Doesn't the BL make more sense in this scenario? It has everything from the sasquatch as well as the front sway bar disconnect and you'll be able to get the high or lux packages if any of that is desirable to you.

Wouldn't it be base, black diamond, and outerbanks? Just add the sway bar disco option to the black diamond and maybe give it 33" wheels standard. That way you have a cheaper MGV platform to build from.

I am completely fine with the interiors on the base, BB (except sandstone), BD, and BL. I actually like the Navy Pier and Roast cloth interiors in the OBX. I actually built an OBX with the Navy Pier interior and thought it went well with white, iconic silver, carbonized grey, cactus grey, area...

I'm in the camp that believes it's entirely hitch limited. Every single variation has the same tow rating with no difference for the longer wheelbase of the 4 door, base vs sasquatch suspension, tire diameter, or anything else. The ranger tremor that has the fox shocks and off road suspension...

I feel like there is a lot of confusion on the LED headlights. All of the headlights are LED including on the base. The signature LED headlights are just upgraded with a different look. There is no non-LED headlight option on any trim.
