Alright, so I have a dilemma.
I've lost a lot of faith in Ford and am considering getting something else for several reasons. A K10 popped up locally with a brand new 700HP built 598cu big block engine along with a built trans, 1 ton axles, lockers, new paint job, perfect body, no rust, etc. I can afford to pay cash for this K10 with the money I was going to use as a down payment on the Bronco... The reasons I'm considering are as follows:
1. No loan. Like I said, I can pay cash and wont have a payment.
2. Not sure my beater will last until Ford gets the bronco delivered to me. I was a day 1 reservation but I live in Alaska, we just got our very first Bronco Sports....
3. I'm worried modern electronics will cause issues with certain features on the bronco. Automatically disengaging lockers and traction control that can't be turned off 100% for example
4. I'm one of the people who plans on taking the Bronco on real offroad adventures if I get it and am worried about the ability to perform trail fixes on a modern vehicle with so many electronically controlled components.
Whichever one I get will also be my daily driver.
(If I buy the K10 I'll be taking most of the lift out of it, and yes I'm aware 700HP is a lot for a daily driver. But it wouldn't be the first time I've had something like it.)
Advice/recommendations/suggestions/thoughts?
