Ugly, expensive and too wide. Any of those make it a hard no for me

did you ever see a pinto??How could Ford think this thing looks good?
Really good point and I can improve my base Bronco a lot AND still afford a side by side too. And tires and parts on the Polaris will be cheaper while having no hwy miles; so they should last longer too.I will stick with my Badlands SAS - if I ever get one..... I don't want to pay 70-80k and then take it off road and beat it up.... My Badlands SAS will do the tamer trails and my new Polaris Turbo R will take on the hard ones.... Two toys are better than one expensive one
Yea, just like the F150 Raptor dropped the 2 door super cab in favor of the four doors only, specialty vehicles typically go this way. And no manual for Americans who don't buy enough of them.Yeah I agree, it really should be a 2-door. A 4-door overland vehicle would be sweet, but obviously Ford geared this to me more of a race truck and not an overloading rig.
I'm sure Ford has put a ton of money into market research, and it has shown most people who will buy this want a 4-door model. Probably also the same reason why you can't order the F-150 Raptor in any style other SuperCrew and also why the Jeep Wrangler 392 is only offered in 4-door.
Likely also why they don't offer this in a manual transmission (which is the real deal-breaker for me personally). The preferences of the masses don't match our preferences.
It's already wider than I would have liked. Raptardation makes it, what, 10" wider?How could Ford think this thing looks good?
all that I could diy if the budget wasnāt an issue xDHere's my reasons I'll never buy one.
No 2dr available.
No manual trans.
Not real raptor suspension
No V-8 engine
Ugly add-on flairs
Poor ford customer ordering support
Lack of custom details available from Ford.
