Wow! All that time and effort to point out all the advantages the Wrongler has over the Bronco and yet there's no mention of the #1 feature that comes standard on every Wrongler sooner or later: DEATH WOBBLE!
I like the look better w/o the flares, but probably wouldn't run around without them as it would just result in the paint getting chipped up bad on the sides from gravel getting kicked up. To me the flares just look like an afterthought on Ford's part rather than an intentional design. Even...
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that typically if you lease they want you to lease a higher end model (i.e. Outter Banks or Wildtrack with the Bronco) as those are the models that will have all the bells and whistles that will make it easier for the dealer to sell once the lease is up. In...
Ford definitely needs to fix this as for many it's a cost issue. By forcing buyers to get the auto they're adding $1200 or so to the price, and for many they're just trying to get into a capable off-road rig for as little money as possible because that's what they can afford. Not everyone is...
So just sitting here wondering who (company) will be the first to come out with some carbon fiber or fiberglass roadster door inserts like could be had with the Gen 1 Bronco's?
I've been thinking about the best way to do this the last few days as I doubt many would want any kind of permanent...
Pretty much the same as the others here - just enjoy driving a manual. On top of that they're cheaper out of the gate and aside from a clutch, throw-out bearing or slave cylinder they don't require much maintenance over the long haul. Rebuild costs on a manual are also substantially cheaper...
Love the styling on these - Ford did good! Also really like how they did the Sasquatch package with all the major off-road goodies available as an option on all the models, even the base. That's something that's always turned me off with "that other brand." Only shortfall would be that I...
Anyone seen specs yet on the interior cargo space dimensions for the 2dr and 4dr models? Basically interested in knowing how wide the cargo area is across the floor, and what the length of the floor area is (tailgate to back of front seats).
Really prefer the looks of the 2dr but I know the...
Was a little bummed at the absence of the MT with the 2.7L as well, until I looked up the transmission specs. The Getrag MT is only only rated to 406ft-lbs. The 2.7L puts out a purported 400ft-lbs. That's a little too close for comfort in my book. Rather have to settle for an auto or drop to...
Clearly Ford's focus was on off-road capability and handling, not towing. Also, short wheelbase vehicles generally suck for towing. If you want/need to tow heavier loads you're better off just buying a truck.
Myself and others are bummed about not being able to get the manual transmission...
