  1. Compared to a Defender - some general thoughts and concerns.

    Those that think the Defender just can not cut it as an off-roader, check out the editors of Expedition Portal and their podcast on the Defender. Unlike many here posting, he has extensive time off-roading, not just Overlanding (circumnavigated world 3 times). He also has extensive time driving...
  2. How tech dependent will the Bronco be?

    I watch a few really good Savagegeese reviews (which I think are excellent) and they talked about a tipping point with the XC80 Volvo, and to some extent with the new Landrover Defender. Their review of the Ford Explorer is illuminating, and also a bit worrisome about Ford in general and the...
  3. Compared to a Defender - some general thoughts and concerns.

    I am really curious about your process.... keep me posted. Seems like we are in the same spot on this.
  4. Will Bronco get Active Drive Assist?

    Hey folks ... The OP here Active Drive Assist is not the same thing as Lane-Keeping System
  5. Will Bronco get Active Drive Assist?

    I thought I read somewhere that the Bronco will not get all the 360 features you can get on other vehicles like the Escape and Explorer. I think the Bronco is planned to get a watered-down version, but does anyone know why? My Wrangler is all over the highway, and I am pretty sure the Bronco...
  6. Compared to a Defender - some general thoughts and concerns.

    I agree and that would be my build as well with the 18" wheels, which only comes with the P300. I am also ruling it out like you, but in addition all you said, I worry about the scarce dealer network. I have a JKU and find the interior very cheap, and it seems like the Bronco will be more...
  7. Compared to a Defender - some general thoughts and concerns.

    This seems like a pretty honest assessment. I do worry about the smaller engine in the Defender and the wheels that are not the 17-inch. How did you find the interior compared to the JLU.
  8. Top reasons jeep wrangler better than bronco

    I am getting a Bronco, but currently in a JKU, with almost 100k and no major problems. However, the interior build for the cost is pretty cheap. I think the JL improved the interior a but, but I hope the Bronco is a step above.
  9. Safety of steel bumpers

    Thank you .... best answer yet!
  10. Safety of steel bumpers

    I do now... this has been very helpful, Sincerely, The OP
  11. Safety of steel bumpers

    That is reassuring to hear... thanks
  12. Safety of steel bumpers

    I currently drive a JKU with steel bumpers (AEV as part of the Backcountry Package) and wonder about the degree to which the lack of a crumpling bumper makes the Jeep even less safe (current safety rating, I think, is just 1 star). I suppose with a steel bumper any impact will transfer all...
  13. Top reasons jeep wrangler better than bronco

    Pretty sure no lane assist without IFS
  14. MGV used for Bronco vs generic MGV

    Thanks for the replies to my original question, but does anyone know if all MGV is basically the same, or is it like leather?
  15. MGV used for Bronco vs generic MGV

    Ford said that the MGV in the Bronco is an "industry-first" which might just be hype. I don't know if Ford is the first in using it for a car interior, or that this type of MGV material is the first, or both. If the former, then does anyone know where it was used before. I know enough about...
  16. Anyone look at the New Land Rover Defender ????

    You make a lot of good points, and I believe there is a chance it will be more reliable than previous models. I am looking forward to the many head to head comparison tests.
  17. Anyone look at the New Land Rover Defender ????

    I appreciate your warning, but I am pretty sure I will not be getting the new Defender unless the ride and interior of the Bronco are really disappointing, which I doubt. And even I do applaud the balance they struck between comfort and capability, and their utilitarian but sophisticated...
