Despite the prevailing attitude of "normalcy" the pandemic is still ongoing. 50% (U.S.) have been vaccinated, so it's going to be around for a while. Starting a new platform in the middle of said pandemic was unfortunate. Shortages of a bunch of items are in full swing (try and do a construction...
Nope. Had a 1971. It was light blue, white top and grill, 3 on the tree, 302 v8 (150hp!), no A/C, non power steering, unboosted drum brakes and best of all uncut. My first 4wd...😢. Kids and bills required another 4wd (2001 expedition). Love to buy another 1st gen but they are stoopid $$$$$ for...
Oh pooh! 2 door SAS w/2.7L, range 287 mi. Those #'s aren't very good. Need a bigger tank.
Also, was expecting a difference between 2 & 4 door because of weight...
Yeah. I'm more than likely changing to a base+sas+manual and make the order in '22. Maybe even the 2.7L if mileage is as bad as there saying for the 2.3L. Not planning to traverse boulder fields but should still have approx. 95% the capability of the badlands. Also, the vinyl seats sound...
There are too many holes in those numbers to take them seriously, as so many of you have pointed out.
"Official"ly BS!
I'll wait for the officially, official announcement! (...from Ford?)
Your right, things can add up very quickly. Don't get stuck in all the hype. Base, base is still going to be a blast but know it's limitations. It's not going to be a rock crawler, however, it's still an excellent 4WD. Plus, you can start adding mods as you get the cash: tires, lift, bumpers...
I've owned a 1972 Bronco, talk about basic: no power steering, non-boosted drum brakes, no A/C, heater barely worked. Good basic 4WD bones. Wanted to go with another 1st gen but they are stupid $$$$$! (Might as well get a new one....)
I've also owned a 2007 Jeep Wragler Sport. The Wrangler was...
Had an Arcadian Blue(probably called something else in '71) 1971 Bronco with a white top. Makes me want to 😢 thinking about it. Closest seems to be Area 51...
No one should buy a vehicle sight unseen. Doesn't matter how many articles or videos you've devoured. It's good to find out, in person (like you have), if the exterior and/or interior are to your liking. If not, good on you. The marketers have whipped up a frenzy around this launch, there are...
Submitted 'as sent' to the dealer. After looking through all the available Bronco information, I've decided to wait until 2022. The FY 22 specific change items are: Sasquatch with manual, body colored or white top (not a fan of the MIC top). Also, decided to remove the mid-package, trying to...
