Private sector sadly and yeah, the Bronco is pretty wide I hear and those are some narrow roads. I damaged a rental car (had insurance) driving through Scotland in a medium sized SUV.

Yeah I am looking into that for sure. I think UK has a 20% VAT on value though, but still investigating.

I should be off to pick mine up on Friday, though its a bit bittersweet now as I am being moved abroad for work and it puts me keeping it in jeopardy. Still fingers crossed though, its not final.

Its in final prep.

Nice, we can be Jay Leno look alike buddies.

Got my HE off the assembly line photo and message today.

Unpopular opinion probably, but I think not if I am honest. People keep talking about modern manufacturing, yet modern Ford Explorers can't remotely touch the reliability of Toyotas built 30 years ago. Yes, modern manufacturing does allow more detailed and better quality control, but modern...

Man, a lot of hate for Jeep in this thread. My YJ was the most fun vehicle I have ever owned, though it was also the least reliable and the most unpleasant to drive. I plan to test drive a Wrangler or two just to see where they are now. To be honest, I am more impressed with the 4xE than I...

What does "streamlined customer choices matched to transmissions" mean? Something to do with more efficient assembly?

I don't mind the gray. At least some parts of the seats won't be quite as blazing hot in Texas, though I would prefer more lighter options. However.... A thousand times this. I think I saw one preproduction 2-door that had hard plastic on the seat backs, but that really doesn't mean much...

This is where I am right now. However, the lack of mid and manual is a huge dark mark on the BD. Ford really hamstrung the options for the manual transmission overall for reasons I can't quite understand.

No need to be critical of someone who is taking a second look at their reservation when something offered at the time of reservation changes its availability afterwards. I would hold on to your reservation and talk to the dealer at the time of ordering to get your options. I can promise it...

If they added that tailgate to the two door I would snatch it up immediately.

1.) Carpet under the seats and on the seat backs of washout interior 2.) Unable to get manual transmission with Mid package below Badlands 3.) No floor leveling accessory for cargo area

I think, given you are roped into an entire package to get most of the safety and tech, its a bit more sensible to just remove the remote start and keep everything else when you opt for a manual with mid.

Well, money on the table especially since their primary competitor has no such restrictions. The package to trim setup has been among a few things that have taken my hype smile down a notch.

Yeah, that image is of MGV with the rubberized flooring. Really if they plan to leave the seat backs and rear cargo area carpet, they should change rubberized flooring to washout footwells, which would be far more accurate with what they are offering. I am personally holding out hope for...

Yeah, that's something each individual person will have to assess for their usage and requirements, both daily and recreation. I do a lot of long road trips, camping, backpacking but I don't really rock crawl just for sake of it. For me, the advantages of IFS outweigh the advantages of SFA.

I am also doing this comparison, though only as a 2-door. Keep in mind, I have no interest in a V-6 or Sasquatch. MGV and wash-out interior is a huge plus for the BD over the Willys, with the massive caveat that the BD may in reality only have wash out footwells if the cargo and seat backs...

:D I admit it was a bit of sarcasm. Ford so far as been a bit overly optimistic on their dates and no more is that evident then the B&P, which seems to be missing most of the accessories and leaves more questions than answers. Ford also explicitly said they are looking at those issues along...
