True, but it gets road tested like 20 miles on the charge...then it converts over to gas. It's not very off-road friendly because it has to have road'ish tires for the battery use maximization. It also sits lower and is very heavy. This works against its off-road prowess.
So you’re telling me I can have pizza rolls and cross the continental divide at the same time? I’m in.
Have you seen how many Wrangler Unlimiteds there are out there? Don't tell me that all, or even the majority of, people who own one bought it to take it off road. Not to mention that the purpose they bought theirs for is none of your business, so why gatekeep?
I can see it now, that exact scene being one of Mike Levines well staged advertising tweets. “Name another vehicle that you can off-road and cook in”
But that was written in October of 2021. A year later and Ford still can't build all reservation orders. I agree with an earlier poster who suggested that it will get pushed out if only that there is no demand for a refresh. Ford has overwhelming demand for the current Bronco that they can't meet.
I certainly would like it as an option.
I think Rivian was working a removable second battery. The comparatively small (so light) battery in a hybrid vs. a plug-in hybrid may be the sweet spot for an off-roader. It would still give you that instant torque with e-motor assisting the ICE at its low end (not to mention smoothing out turbo lag).
They keep adding special editions like the Raptor, Everglades and Heritage Edition and still can't fill regular trim level orders. Is it that far fetched that they will do a refresh that soon still not keeping up with orders?? This is Ford we're talking about.
...?
