Tried to quote them both, (Maverickboy and drex) but they both are wrong. I have a 4dr Big Bend with the 2.3 on 285/70/R17 with the 2.3 and it does fine. I'm averaging 19 MPG with a 27 mile commute each way.
Trying to see if any dealers will give each of us a discount on the hold back if we draw in more reservations. No doubt our trucks will sit at the dealer for a day or two before we can pick them up due to "dealer prep", so if more potential buyers see a new Bronco on a dealer lot they will get...
Currently with Vancouver Ford, but I would change in a heartbeat if a better deal could be found. A buddy and I are trying to figure out if we can get a group buy discount in the area, whether it be in Vancouver or the Portland area. So far we have three to four probable buyers if you are...
E is great for towing, not so good for wheeling. I have argued the point when someone wants to tow 10k lbs on C rated tires. So "better" is extremely subjective on this topic.
This picture sure makes them look alike. Look at the tread pattern on the rear of the 4 door and the front of the 2 door, especially the diagonal lines of the tread. Edit, just noticed they are both 4 doors.
Sorry, tried to edit the last post and hit delete. Where has the suspension change been documented? I have a res for a BL and plan on getting 33's, but would like to upgrade to 35's if wanted. I know high clearance suspension is an option, but I haven't been able to find anything that says it...
So just to be clear, you are running a marine battery as the starting battery in the FJ? While that would be cost prohibitive for the daily driver, it would explain your ability to run a fridge all night. Makes sense.
I get it. I started out with a 2010 SCREW F150 with Max Tow pulling a 26ft bumper pull. It was painful, then went to an F250 with a 6.2. Hardly could tell it was there, but it was long. Now have a F350 with the 6.7 and the combination is a pain to fit anywhere, even at most BLM (the outdoor...
I'm not trying to argue with you here. Even the 2020 Wrangler shows a max tow of 3,500lbs https://www.jeep.com/wrangler/specs.html. So trying to compare a vehicle with a removable top, big tires, and soft suspension to a vehicle with a full body and low profile tires creates challenges. If you...
Adding off road capability will reduce on road performance. Compare your 17 SCREW to a 17 Raptor, towing will change. The OB is the most road friendly Bronco I think you will find and will likely tow 5k with less white knuckles. Add a modulating swaybar, taller sidewall. and heavier equipment...
Drive an EB with three on the tree, a tired 302, four wheel drum brakes, manual clutch and steering over the Siskiyou range and then through Redding, CA in August and then get back to us. I will gladly take the auto and 2.7. We've earned our stripes.
