I was being conservative. Your probably right. It will be priced ridiculously high.
75K is probably still on the low still one low side, when you consider after market conversions run north of 100K. I bet the sell out as soon as they make the available.

A Willys is nothing more then a Jeep Sport just with some visual upgrades. It's the same platform.You don't get lockers or anything material. So for $38k its still a horrible deal. Comparing it to the Bronco + Sasquatch it's not even close. That thing should be priced at $29k

In which direction? Wranglers are established and have a huge following. Jeep is acting fast and releasing a hemi v8 before we lock in our orders. Ford can't even give us a matching top.
Baby steps. The Bronco is going to destroy the Wrangler's market.

Just as capable off-road? Check. Customizable with any size wheels up to 35? Check. No death wobble? Lulz. Competitively priced? Yep. Hundred of DIOs to customize your Bronco? Uh-huh. Spotty welds? I admit we'll have to wait on that one.

What's realistic for Ford to ultimately achieve in the off-road, convertible SUV sales market? A third of Jeep sales? Half? Or more?

FCA is printing money based on Wrangler sales.

They're going to lose a significant portion of those sales. And Ford has nothing to lose.

My guess is jeep will sell out an entire years production run of V8 wranglers within a week of taking orders, if it takes that long.

and they even had room to add an ARB air compressor next to the BIG V8.

It doesnt matter how much power jeep puts out. With a solid front axel and steering issues they can never fix, youre just 0-60 in dead a lot faster now. If you want a dedicated rock crawler, you cant beat a jeep. Bronco will dominate in every other category.

I agree for the most part. The Bronco is a steal, no question about it. The Willys does come with Jeeps Trac Lok limited slip and rock rails so not ALL visual. I’d say the Willys at $36-39k MSRP would be fair given the mid size truck segment competition. Jeep MSRP is ridiculous for sure.

That being said, I’d probably go with the Sport S so I could get 4.10s with the Max tow package. It isn’t offered with the Willys.

at this point if Ford comes out and says one more thing is going to be late availability that's were my money's going.
I can't recall seeing the actual list of what is late availability. Is it posted in the forum?

Wait until you find out the overall footprint dimensions for that OHV Hemi is actually smaller than the Ecoboost V6. Chances are that 392 probably fits in the JL's bay even easier than the current Pentastar V6 it's got.

Why does the ecoboost look like a mess?

Plumbing for the turbos. You've got a cold and hot side piping to run from the turbos to the intercooler.
