Yeah- I really wanted one. Had 2 reservations and just couldn’t wait any longer.
Hope who ever gets moved up enjoys the Bronco. I am a huge Ford guy. Tried to get a Raptor instead but no luck.
Ended up with a Tundra. Still have my Lightning- I will revisit the Bronco in the future
Didn’t know the Ram had a 5-link. Should of expected it- Dodge has gotten pretty good at one-upping Ford lol.
As for IRS in the Raptor R, that is wild conjecture. But Ford has to do more that just drop a 5.2L supercharged engine.
The Five link rear suspension is a game-changer. Ford does it again.
Nobody will by an off-road sport truck- Ford” Hold my beer”
Trucks need leaf spring suspension to be a truck- Ford” Hold my beer”
So what other goodies could the Raptor R get that the regular Raptor won’t? I wonder if...
Exactly. The Fox live shocks also lose some travel. I also read that the front spring perch is in a different location.
While I’m hesitant about the twin-turbo(as I do all my maintenance), Ford nailed it. I also believe that pretty soon these trucks will be too expensive for me to afford.
I...
The very essence of a poser is rooted in other people’s opinion. You are a poser only if you allow their opinion to influence your actions.
Will I be a poser. Ab-so-freaking-lutely. My Bronco will be posing for many pics as I am an avid photography nerd.
Most people will think you are...
We could offer more insight if you posted what accessories you are looking for.
Your dealer could be right or could be looking to screw you. If it a Ford late-availability accessory that moves you to a MY22 build (like a shadow-black, modular top) - uhhhh- not good.
All the info is out there. We agree on that. You did not talk about HOSS. We agree on that.
Who says B&P is right? Slow down the posting and vamp up the reading. I know you are trying to help but just read what I wrote and what you wrote.
Hopefully my edited, Ford Media brochure-pic is...
Read what you wrote. Never did you state 2.7 auto. If you are going to omit it during your response, don’t then assume everyone knows what you mean.
So to be clear- you meant “4.7 gearing dude [w/ 2.7]” or did you mean “4.7 gearing dude [w/ auto]” or did you mean “4.7 gearing dude [w/ 2.7 &...
No you don’t. Manual transmission Badlands has 4.7 gears. This has been said multiple times and there are documents.
People, please- please stop with the “I think” and “I’m not sure but maybe”. If you are not sure, look it up. All the info is out there
Also, all Broncos have HOSS. The...
I didn’t read the entire thread so forgive me if this has been posted.
Dealers write up the lease to benefit them. I agree that they love to make the residual low. For vehicles with insane resale value, they make the residual high because they want the car back.
Doing so makes your payment...
You are right. It is one hell of a deal. To be honest- the BD SAS price seems very high. You already have the front bumper, bash plates, rear lockers but have to pay $6885. That is nuts- I hope that is a mistake. I mean the base is $7385- that is where you make up the difference.
So for an...
So what options are on the base? Your difference in price doesn’t add up. Your price should be a lot closer unless you are also modding the BD.
Remember the BD is more than just the seats. Even adding the Sasquatch, you don’t get: extra GOAT modes, no rear steel bumper, no rock rails, no aux...
For any large purchase, it is important to mitigate risk by comprehensive due-diligence. This website is an excellent resource that is free.
This is an expensive purchase. Too many people rely on the dealer to do everything. Take care of the trade-in, arrange financing, secure the extended...
Maybe, what if, I bet, they are probably going to....
Guys and gals- the excuses and conjecture are not helping. Stop excusing bad behavior.
Is it nefarious- don’t know. But dealers are not stupid. Sure the process is new but the shenanigans aren’t.
This is why many of us went with the Big 2...
The OP asked for differences between a Sasquatch and Base Badlands. Both get the Bilsteins.
You are talking about a base model and a Sasquatch. Yes they have different shocks but this is not what the thread is about.
If you do it without rev-matching, just remember to let the clutch out slowly and you will be fine. That is why rev match downshifting is nice.
You can get off the clutch as fast as possible. Without rev-match downshifting, you have to slow down how fast you let your foot off of your clutch...
