I’ve experienced the same thing. Talked to some people about it and they guessed it was a quirk of having a direct injection engine when in lower torquey gears.
Someone also suggested it may be an issue with the parking break disengagement.
You won’t wear the clutch because you won’t use the clutch. The low range on this thing is pretty crazy. In 4L and crawler, you can dump the clutch with no gas and start crawling along like it’s nothing. Once you’re in gear, forget that the clutch exists and everything will go smoothly...
2 door manual base with 4.46 gears with handle the best and be the quickest on road. Don’t know how to judge looks for any of these; all about personal preference.
I’ve been wheeling my base a good bit around central Virginia; nothing crazy but a lot of jeep trails and mud. I have black diamond tire/wheel take offs, the upgraded bumper, oem rock rails, and some extra armor for the transfer case (upgraded bumper gives me front skids and the 2 door comes...
Put black diamond takeoffs on my base. Got the tpms off tire rack for them, and they worked well (tire rack automatically pulls them up for the bronco).
For people looking to upgrade their tires on the base, I would strongly recommend this route. Finding C load tires for 16 inch wheels is a bit...
My understanding was that the $500 deposit is typical. Dealers get dinged on their allocation if too many Broncos are sold to individuals who are weren’t the original reservation/order holder. They want customers to have some skin in the game to help ensure that they actually show up to buy...
0.99% is higher than the risk free rate looking at short term treasuries. Can't find an HYSA with a interest rate higher than 0.6% right now on the full FDIC insurance limit. Paying in cash seems reasonable from that perspective.
Any issues running those on the weaker front axle? I’d want bigger tires on my base eventually, but am worried about the axle/FDU struggling with anything larger than 32 when off-road.
It would take other commodities outside of the MIC top becoming the primary constraint. Maybe, by some miracle, Webasto starts producing in large numbers and the 2.7L engine becomes a very substantial constraint.
That feels like a super unlikely scenario though. Also, if Ford is to be believed...
I had to put $500 down to convert, but I received the initial $100 deposit back in the process.
At my dealer, they put in writing that the $500 deposit goes toward my purchase when I take delivery; that if I do not take delivery and the vehicle is delivered as a MY21, the deposit is...
I would love to see a tan similar to the Tacoma color down the line.
Any more pastel color choices to give the vehicle a more classic look would be excellent too.
According to my dealer, the answer is yes to some extent. No idea if he knows anymore than us.
My best guess is that, if they have capicity to build more frames which are mostly identical between vehicles, and if they don't have parts for a badlands/wildtrack, any high/lux package vehicle, or...
