Wait, what? Anything else you'd care to share with us lowly plebs?
He said earlier:


The reveal will definitely be at the end of the month but I suspect that they will first announce the bronco as a brand. Its important to put everyone on notice before the beast is let loose. Either way, it's coming by 3/31/2020. Cant wait.

I don't get the people who are so against the air assisted coil spring suspension... Like, I get it, it could break on the trail. But worst case scenario, you're left in the same situation you'd be in without it, which is just a static ride height

Just like the people who are against power locks... like, worst case scenario, you're left with locks that you need to manually actuate, which is what you'd have if you didn't have power locks in the first place

Edit: Meant air assist suspension. I get the complaints against full on air ride, but air assisted suspension isn't all that bad
You might have a case in southern climates. But in cold climates, air suspension is 100% useless. Air only, like in the Dodge trucks are complete garbage and our dealers up here in Canada are full of them waiting for repairs...they replace everything then they’re back in the dealer again shortly after. Only solution is to convert them to the base coil suspension at the customer’s expense.

I have 2 friends that bought them and they just gave up and traded them on F150s for a huge loss.

As said, if it’s an option, fine. But if it’s standard, I sure as hell won’t buy one. It’s not like we need air assist because we’ll be towing 30 foot campers with our broncos.

My issue with air suspension is longevity. Road salt destroys suspension components here. In 3 or 4 years it'll probably have issues and it'd be quite expensive to replace I'd imagine.

So, I have air helper springs for towing, but your suppose to deflate them completely for off road so your regular springs can articulate fully. And if I was doing a really challenging trail I would probably pull them out temporarily.

I am not sure how stand-alone air springs would work off road in full articulation (I.e., the left side extended while the right is fully compressed) and if that were electronically controlled: one more thing to break and not allow you to get back to civilization.

I clean my minivan interior with a gas powered leaf blower. It works great.

I'm old enough to have grown up with rotary phones, and I ain't about that non bluetoof apple auto face navigation life now. It's just better.

But good Lord do they not test how well they can see it on sunny days? This'll be compounded in a vehicle with no roof.

LOL I was the remote for my dad we had 13 channels. GO change that channel till I tell you to stop ! I can still hear it today. :captain:

I just hope it’s a solid take no nonsense kinda truck, and not find that wanting is better than having. We actually own the road up here in PA, no salt or snow plowing from county, except for gracious neighbor that plows so he can get further up the mountain we live on. Tired of replacing tie-rods on our other cars. When we were living in the city, our ‘85 Bronco was the boss of getting neighbors out of their driveways. Hubby would put it in 4L, get out and direct which way to turn the wheels.
