I think it is great. Why? Because now we can see how aggressive Ford will be at maintaining best in class. While I still think Bronco is a far superior offering and better priced I would love to see the offerings continue to expand:
-Warthog
-optional 37s with 5.13 gearing as a package
- overlander package with built in exorack
- slicked out EV (city dwellers need a bone as well)
And many more. Point is, keep it coming…

GM needs more Government money and they can do it.
Relax pal they all took government money. Check to see if Ford paid theirs back yet.
But this is $4k premium on the Rubicon with 33s. It's the equivalent of adding sasquatch to a Badlands, which is much less than $4k. So dont compare it to the $6k adder for sasquatch on most Bronco trims, thinking it's a good deal.

I hate to see what the 392 mpg is after adding the 35's. My uncle just got his 392 a few days ago and has only driven it around town maybe 75 miles or so. He was averaging 11.2 mpg with the 33s. It is suppose to get 13 mpg I think so it should improve a little after break in. He is adding 35's shortly so I will be able to see what happens.

Calm down my friend and NO they took no bail out money and Ford for what ever reason is very proud of that. So take it easy it's all good.
Think what you what but the fact is Ford, Chrysler, GM all took government money. Ford currently has a balance owed while General Motors paid back what they agreed to.

Glad they’re reacting to the Bronco, but it seems to the typical Stellantis move of quantity over quality. Let’s just crap out a ton of low hanging fruit we’ve had chambered forever to distract while we work on a legitimate redesign.
Could pose some problems for them as they’re pretty early in the JL’s life cycle.
Hope they come out with a really awesome Wrangler in a few years, forcing the 7G Bronco to get better, forcing the next Wrangler to get better and so on.
Would be pretty cool in 15 years to look back on this time as the beginning of the 21st century 4x4 wars. Of course that’s all predicated on the Bronco being as good as it’s supposed to be.

Apples and oranges. Ford did not take the bail out money and declare bankruptcy during the great recession, GM did. Ford did take a loan to use in the development of electric vehicles per your google article as the other two did two. Not the same thing. I am not sure you understand but GM went broke and the Federal Government took control of GM. Apples and Oranges.

I never said Ford went through bankruptcy. I simply said they took government money when the other two did and they still owe them. I’m man enough to admit If I were wrong but I’m not wrong.
It’s not a bad deal IMO. You get tires, beadlock capable wheels, and a regear to go with the very minor lift. A regear of both axles would have cost $2K in parts alone. But it’s only a 1.5” lift.
Jeep didn’t offer it on the Sahara or Sport, but I think that’s because those two models only have Dana30 axles. Putting 35s on those is going to lead to problems down the road. The Dana44s on the Rubicon are more suited to tires up to 37s.
