Sounds like a hell of a lawsuit brewing if they made it too easy to remove.

Full time AWD is coming to wrangler in 2021. It was on their pricing guideTwo issues I have with Jeep right now are the Sky One Touch top only available on high end models and the full time Selec-Trac 4X4 system only available on the Sahara. If I could get those two options on a Willys Unlimited I don't think I'd even be considering a Bronco.
I've gotten around the sky top by adding a Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop to my JKU and that's been super convenient. I have the security of a hard top and option for quick open air driving.
The 4X4 system is another story. I don't know how many times driving in Michigan when road conditions aren't horrible (yet) and I've had my Wrangler in in 2H. As conditions have gotten worse wondered and switched to 4H. This is especially worrisome when some stretches are safe to drive 70mph and some when it's unsafe to drive at 50 in the same trip. From what I understand, it's not good to be driving on dry(ish?) pavement in 4H and I shouldn't be switching between the two when traveling over 45 mph. A full time system would be nice. Sure the Rubicon folks can have their Rock Trac system but the majority of owners could use a full time system most of the time.
SEND IN...THE CHAIRS.Is the bronco going to have a solid front axle? This is a huge advantage offroad compared to an independent front, unless we are talking high speed off-road, but in that case the raptor exists. If we are going to compare the bronco to the wrangler it really would need a solid front axle since that’s one of the things that sets the wrangler apart offroad.
On a separate note, the JL now uses a ZF designed automatic transmission for those of you who don’t already know. I believe it is still manufactured by FCA but it is definitely not their own design. It is a solid performer and is used in many other vehicles from various auto companies.
Full disclosure, if you haven’t figured it out already, yes I own a wrangler, but I am also a bronco fan and look forward to a little friendly competition on the trail.
I’m not sure what you mean by that since Jeep doesn’t build any SFAs. They are all Dana axles. There is simply no way the bronco will be able to compete with the wrangler off-road without a solid front axle in terms of articulation. It will definitely be better on road though. All I can say is I have never heard of wrangler owners getting an IFS conversion, but I have heard of IFS vehicles, such as the hummer, getting SFA conversions. There is a reason for this. From an off-roaders perspective, a SFA is a must.SFA has been discussed forever on this forum, the answer for now seems to be no SFA on the Bronco, it'll be IFS. (Which is my strong preference, Jeep still hasn't figured out how to build a SFA.)
I'm assuming they still cover that under warranty since it's Ford right? I tuned my little Volkswagen and it became a dog on the road. Cheap and big performance gains with a chip/flash/tune.I tuned my 2.3 lt mustang with the Ford Performance tune and CAI and am seeing major gains in HP and TQ.
Interesting that they didn’t call the “Small Rugged Off-Road Utility“ a “Bronco Sport”. Here‘s to hoping they see the error in that naming setup and call it Maverick or something else. Anything else!
Please debate SFA vs IFS on the proper thread.I’m not sure what you mean by that since Jeep doesn’t build any SFAs. They are all Dana axles.

International Market Group, it includes ME, SSA, SEA, IND, Australia and all other emerging market (more than 100 regions)What is theIMGmarket? The Bronco/Sport and F-150 fall into that.
Edit: It means the Middle East.
The question is what the bronco needs to be superior to the wrangler. The answer is a SFA. It really isn’t a debate.
