SFA big V8 are the only way I'll buy one.
Needs to have 14k tow rating too...
Oh and a manual automatic.
Oh and it needs to be under 25k.

That's more like it. I would totally buy that.

The same people voting in that poll are the same people that are sad that the Buick Regal TourX was discontinued and they "totally would've bought it" if it came with a manual. Only used of course.

I.E. Retards.

One thing to consider, IF there is some sort of air/active suspension option , the front IFS with a sway bar disconnect and some computer Tom foolery could be made to mimic a front straight axle in ‘rock crawl’ mode. Possibly by sharing air between the front air springs. (Left front tire gets pushed up and sends pressure to the right side pushing the right down like a straight axle).

Sport or eco mode could lower the bronco on the highway etc for better handling/mileage.

I have no proof of that I’m just spitballing.

That would be pretty damn cool, not gonna lie. Best of both worlds!

Of course they're retarded, what else is new? xP

Lived most of my life in Atl, DC, Chicago, Philly where dozens of dealers are at your beck and call. Very different story when you're in a 2-traffic-light mountain town an hour removed from a 'big-3' dealer & 2 hours removed from others.

Give me MINIMUM non-mechanical stuff & I'll sleep much better. Not a question of being scared - just realistic.

I could understand this if it were some sort of computer system that was paramount to the vehicle. But we’re talking about an air lift here... if it goesout, then boo hoo you can’t look SIK AS FUK on your way to the dealership because your car is only sitting 12” off the ground instead of 15”

Then leaves as soon as speeds above 70 or a corner get thrown into the equation

Gas fires don't typically re-ignite later in the junkyard..

My officer manager has a Lincoln Navigator, '98 I believe, since it was brand new.

When the air suspension went and he replaced it with traditional springs. Sure same thing could apply today, just gotta reconfigure the ecu a bit to not panic when it doesn't pick up on the airbag sensors

Ty for posting this

"The manual describes the unique risk of putting out an EV battery fire, namely that “battery fires can take up to 24 hours to extinguish” and require 3,000 gallons of water."

"According to researchers, the techniques that firefighters use for putting out gasoline-fueled fires could actually make the fire worse in a battery-powered car. Researchers say that lithium ion batteries in general pose an inherent fire risk."

"The battery industry has improved lithium ion batteries over the years, but in situations where the battery cells are violently torn apart in a crash, “it's basically like a firecracker,” University of Pittsburgh engineering professor Prashant Kumta told the magazine. “You have one battery that catches fire, then the next one catches fire and pretty soon they’re all on fire.”

"The family of a teen killed in a high-speed Tesla crash in Fort Lauderdale recently filed a lawsuit alleging that the battery in the car was defective and “had inadequate measures to prevent a post-collision fire.” The fire in that crash also reignited several times after it was initially extinguished. "

I’ll wait for the off-road version to be spied not this Sahara Flex.

man booked in all day meetings yesterday and this! Can we all take a 30 min pause so I can catch up!

Being heavily camouflaged I like what I see, the ride height does intrigue me. At first I thought it was driving conditions but it would take some massive body roll to squat that much. If it does have active suspension is guess it would be an option across the board, I'm pretty torn on that. At least now we know a trickle of information has begun!
