Let’s have the discussion... what’s the point of the warthog?

I'm pretty sure the actual BroncoR was a largely stock 2.7 TT EB, wasn't it?

it also didnt complete the race

I like the Warthog name. When I hear warthog, it sounds like an off road vehicle, but also gives an impression of toughness and power. It also sounds unique imho and easily identifiable. Not sure how it is any different from having a Mustang Cobra...

that has nothing do with the choice of names...rename a horse after a pig.......or have both names....but come to think of it Ford has a history of adding additional animal names to horses...LIke Mustang Cobra (horse snake) and Bronco Warthog (horse pig)....

Not due to drivetrain.

A truck literally flipped on top of it. A control arm broke. An aftermarket cooling fan died.

The "ECOBoob (I think you called it)" engine and transmission was good to go.

"The Bronco R prototype's stock engine and drivetrain performed like champs, but the rest of the truck wasn't strong enough to beat Baja."

The power train wasn't the reason why...

The point of the Warthog is the same as a 1000hp Mustang, 50 Caliber Barrett rifle or a $100 Steak. Because this is 'Murica and capitalism rocks!

Does your trip the breakers like mine? Been meaning to get that fixed..

Well I can't WAIT for my Braptor..*Sigh* Warthog...

It all depends on price. If it starts at $55k with the 3.0, standard package, 37" tires, and upgraded suspension I can see a lot of people wanting it. I would.

If it starts at $65-$70k for that then hell no.

because it got in an accident

I need my vehicles to have testosterone because my body gave out producing it naturally long ago. Hell, if it weren't for the Propecia and Viagra, all my golf buddies at The Villages would think I'm a gay ecoboob.

Might as well ask why is a tree good? Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good?
