Yeah the only thing current jeeps have in common with legendary cjs is a SFA and a fold down windshield. Although I was scoping a roxor out thinking if I bought it a swapped in my rebuilt drivetrain from my rusty 86 cj7 that i could swap the vin tag and put on a windshield and be good to go. But the things are just too expensive. Im pretty sure i could get a jeep underling(compass?) for the same price that they sell for out here and im halfway to India!
Ford and Ram dominate the heavy duty pickup market with their SFA trucks, while GMC and Chevy are considered weak with their IFS.
The F-150 is IFS and is the best selling truck in America for over 40 years. They switched from SFA to IFS years ago.
F150 is not a heavy duty pickup.
we say that, but a 2020 F-150 can out tow a 1995 F-250. But yeah, in the (actually need a) 3/4+ ton market the Ford and Dodge dominate primarily due to the axles.
Jeep Wrangler = Heavy Duty Off-road.
My bad, missed the heavy duty part. Those vehicles are built generally for commercial use and hauling large loads. This isn't what the Bronco is for. The SFA argument can be hit on in the SFA/IFS thread. People saying Bronco is doomed and can't "eat Jeeps lunch" because it lacks a SFA are narrow sighted. That is one TINY piece of the pineapple pizza. Yes, SFA is great for extreme rock crawling. But for the average and above average consumer, they will never do this and the on-road characteristics of IFS is a better trade off.
Can you name a factory vehicle that performs better off-road than a Jeep Rubicon?
Did the H1 HUMMER come from a factory? Asking for a friend.......
I believe so.
Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG = Heavy Duty Off-road
I agree.
