Depends on what your use is on the trail. As you know living in the West there are a lot of transfer sections where the sway bar is a must.
Yes this!! I'm very excited to see how you set up this rig. This is awesome being a 4 door and the long wheelbase with independent suspension up front...
I am in no way putting down IFS or rack and pinion. They just don't have a place for hard core rock crawling with the exception of highly modified KOH built rigs.
Not if you are skilled enough with appropriate wheel size. It's the big tire craze that is requiring the beefing up of axles...
There is no independent suspension manufactured with rack and pinion that can handle the abuse that a straight axle and traditional steering box can.
Consumers are purchasing these Broncos and expecting them to handle the same trails a Jeep Wrangler does. They are 2 totally different platforms...
This is nothing more than a typical breakage of IFS and a rack and pinion setup. If you decide to beef up the steering then something else will break. You cannot expect a Bronco to compete with a Wrangler unless they go with a straight axle and steering box.
What's all about these 22 pages of waiting. Broncos are available right now. Just locally here there are 2 First Editions on the lot:

That is exactly correct. It's slimy but true. A customer has zero expectation for getting an agreed to price in writing unless it is signed by both parties. Also read every singe word and punctuation in the contract. A slick way for them to back out is by stating changes can be made at any time...
I highly recommend customers do either do there own extensive PDI and full 172+ point inspection or bring someone who can. Demand it is put up on a lift and check/test every single visible component on the vehicle from underneath to top and front to rear. If the dealer will not comply then you...
I'm with you 100%. Unfortunately there are those that feel a need to bring politics into every damn discussion (see quote below). It makes no sense seeing how this forum is a global platform.
How about you keep politics off this thread. It's a major violation of forum rules.
So why are you calling it a clown car? It looks normal to me. Not my taste in color but who really cares as long as the owner likes it. The color has zero to do with functionality. I'm happy for the customer.
And make sure it is in writing signed by both yourself and the dealer at the time of deposit. Otherwise the dealer has no obligation to sell it to you at the guaranteed in writing price.
Wrangler vs Bronco. They are 2 completely different platforms that only share body on frame design.
I have compared the two but admittedly have only driven Wranglers in the past. I personally am of the opinion that one is not any "better" than the other. It depends on what the customer is...
I have been up front and showing a dealership that has a Bronco available. Do you know of any other dealerships that have a 1st edition? I don't appreciate the troll accusations. Not funny at all.
I'm truly trying to be helpful to members here. I'm holding off but still looking and keeping up...
Oops my bad!! It went up in just the last week!!
63,190.00 is new MSRP.

IMHO, These Broncos are not worth anywhere near 63K when compared to a Wrangler Rubicon that I can get similarly equipped for almost 10K...
It's at Seth Wadley Ford. MSRP is at $62,715.00. I don't know how much under MSRP you can talk the dealer down. But it's worth a shot. It has been sitting on the lot for at least a week now. Hope this helps someone who wants a fully loaded Bronco without the wait. My understanding is you can't...
Hi Henry, I've seen the "Sasquatch Broncos" twice here in SoCal. One of them was in a car wash. The hardtop looked solid and the owner was very happy with his.
It sounds strange but the phrase "good things come to those who wait" really fits here. I'm holding off for another year or two myself...
