And, frankly, speeding. I went to Corpus from SATX this weekend, and was going 90 for a good stretch of it (and the others around me weren't going much slower, with a few exceptions).
The roads out here are wide and straight, with lots of visibility. If you can get away with it, it's nicer to...
I love it. If I buy one, I want a 2dr 2.3L manual base, no SAS. Get some black steelies and 32" AT tires, aftermarket tow package.
Damn, I want one! Ford, why do you NOT want my money?
Yeah I need to sort through all these comments, but if any given transmission isn't lasting 100k miles at least, then it's garbage. That chart above is silly.
I've driven my Mazda CX-5 pretty hard for 125k miles, street, Texas highways, zipping around, sometimes 80+ mph for hours on the...
I'm sure there are 50 other posts with this info somewhere, but...
When will I be able to walk into a Ford dealer and buy one on the spot? I originally thought "fall/winter 2021" but I see people talking about their 2022 reservations. I'm confused.
Auto trans are as reliable as manuals now, and as performant
Auto trans get better mileage and drive smoother
Everyone can drive an auto, so it helps if someone else may need to drive it OR if you plan to hand it down to a child
Auto trans these days can behave very similar to manuals in terms...
Who would spend the money on a new Bronco, and an auto transmission, but stick with the 2.3L? At the point of buying this luxury off-roader, the price is already jaw-dropping. I don't think the mileage is going to be different enough to say "I wanted to save gas money".
I guess some people...
I thought it was just 2dr snobs that existed. I didn't know you thought you're a better person for having a 4dr.
You're talking like no-one ordering a 2dr knows what they're getting. eat a humble pie and realize that 2dr is fine if you're happy with it. 4dr is fine if you're happy with it. All...
Owning a '92 for the past decade. "Bronco" to me means off-road capability, clearance, 2 doors, and the ability to camp in the back of it with the tailgate down.
The 2dr bronco clearly isn't that, and I wonder if the 4dr with the bed extender will allow it.
I understand, markets are markets...
The next vehicle I get will need to tow at least 2500-3000lb because I'm thinking of getting a modest travel trailer.
The towing cap is 3500# and I have to assume that is based on wheelbase and weight distribution, not drivetrain.
My 92 bronco with less power and torque than the 2.3L can tow...
#1 issue with this graphic is the effect of making the new bronco look anything near the size of the 5G.
The 6G is a compact SUV.
But yeah, I'm shaped by having a 92 with the seat out, where I can crawl from front to back, or pop the tailgate down and take a nap next to my ice chest on the beach.
The Ranger is as large as an F-150 should be. Meanwhile, I have repeatedly mistaken 2020+ F-150s as F-250s for how gigantic they are, especially with any kind of lift.
I could easily crawl between the seats front and back of a 96 F-150.
I know it's CAFE and safety regs, but truck sizes and...
This just makes me want the 2dr less and less. I love my 92, and they want me to spend $38k on a compact SUV? Can't sleep in it, can't put a bike in it hardly. It's a good looking vehicle, but it's tiny. Makes me think I should get the Bronco Sport Badlands with the 2.0L if I decide to get...
My 90s Bronco has a 5.0L V8 that puts out... 190 HP (30 years ago) and gets 12 MPG.
The 2.3L puts out what, 290 HP and may get 20+ MPG, and with a turbo does good at any altitude?
Let's move on from the sound, and look at the numbers. If the engine is reliable and powerful, I'm all in on a...
