Are they really? I havenât pored over the specs like others have, but what justification will the Wildtrak have as a Bronco built for desert-running once the Raptor/Warthog comes out? Between an Outer Banks with the Mid package/Sasquatch and a Badlands with the Lux package/no Sasquatch, which is...
For the life of me, I donât understand why people think the FE will truly be a collectible. It makes the â78 Corvette Pace Car Edition look like a 250 GTO.
For the life of me, I canât see any reason the Wildtrak is necessary. Ford claims itâs for high-speed off-reading, but there isnât enough to differentiate it from any other model with Sasquatch. Itâs like the higher-ups at Ford dictated there will be seven models and the marketing team was stuck...
Pardon my ignorance, but is there a functional reason why the front bar on the FE covers the lettering? It seems like it should be a couple of inches lower.
1. Not everything patented makes it to production.
2. The fact theyâre on the bodies in the paint sample pictures leads me to believe theyâre welded on.
3. Why would you want to remove the roll cage?
I think the differences in off-roadability are unnecessary for 98% of the buyers. Iâd sacrifice some of that for a model with increased towing capacity. It would be a capability that might actually be used.
Most of the FE buyers?
The Hyundai will have the nicer interior.
Generally, yes. But youâre confusing a sound financial decision with an investment. Theyâre two different things. Even in terms of sound financial decisions, taking the initial depreciation hit isnât one.
My very first boss told me that you can sell literal crap if you package it correctly and this is a prime example. Ford slapped a sticker on it, told everyone it was âspecialâ, and 7,000 people drank the Kool-Aid.
If the FE has everything you want, go ahead and get it. If a...
Itâs a no-brainer to look at Wrangler sales and understand why Ford wants a piece of the market, but it doesnât carry over to the GladiatorâJeep just isnât selling enough of them and the ones they sell are discounted. If Ford makes a Bronco pickup, theyâll be cannibalizing from the Bronco...
To rephrase the question: Instead of waiting a year for a Bronco, would you rather wait two years for a Jimmy with a hypothetical V8 that will never happen? Eventually somebodyâs going to need to actually buy a new car.
True... Iâm still scratching my head at the people who think a forty gallon gas tank on the two-door is a brilliant idea and Ford needs to rush it into production. I think the forum software needs a feature where Clippy pops up and says âIt looks like youâre making a post without using logic or...
