Diesel is dying off because of Government regulations and generally being dirty. That is the primary thing driving this PHEV Ranger-no more Diesels in them ROW.

I can go on about it, Ill save it for the PM’s

I was not imagining U238 being used as the fuel source. Surely there are other options, though I am not an expert on radioactive elements, so I couldn't say which options are easiest to produce in quantity for production vehicle use.

Man all those LEDs are awful! Thank goodness the Base Bronco only has minimal and functional LEDs. Honestly I wouldn't trade my Bronco for G Wagon, I don't care how much it costs.

Been in Australia and New Zealand the past two weeks. I have not seen a single Bronco, but the most common 4x4 has been the Ranger with the Wildtrack trim level. Kinda surprised as I thought I would see way more Toyotas.

Both GM and Toyota pulled out of Australia a few years ago, now there isn't any car production and everything is imported. That was a sad say for Australia and Australian industry. The UAW is hellbent on making sure that happens in the USA sooner than later.

I would trade the Bronco that I haven’t even received yet in on one of these in a HEARTBEAT.

Powerboost would it the THE vehicle for camping.

I have to say, I owned a hybrid Fusion in 2010 and it was totally fine, plus it allowed me to take a job further from home because I was able to take the HOV lane in the hybrid instead of being stuck in traffic that would have caused me a rage-induced heart attack. I had to change for something bigger, though.

At this point, my next vehicle is going to have to at least be something with some battery-only range at the least. I'm not sure my lifestyle will work with full battery TODAY, but things keep changing so I won't rule it out.

Don't disagree but truthfully, having spent time with a couple of Hybrid 4xe Jeeps, until universal charging stations are more prevalent, (And dependable) I vote hybrid 6g+e for extended trips and out of bounds driving

A PowerBoost Bronco would be a game changer for overlanding, because you would have a bunch of available power for camping use. This would actually simplify your life if done correctly.

That would be a good reason for a PowerBoost Bronco.

part of the reason I’m holding out for the EV Hybrid!!

I already have the powestroke van sportsmobile and would love to transition to a hybrid bronco now that the last 2 kids at home are in high school and will be driving by 2025..

I can downsize and sell the van but still travel and have onboard power anywhere I go!

On your point of weight and taxes, it will be intresting to see how the heavier EVs will be taxed to supplement the fuel taxes being bypassed.

Heavier vehicles = more road maintenance

It's not a dump truck. Those and the 18 wheelers are what tear up the roads. Roads would last a 100 years if only passenger vehicles were on them.
