Between the beefed up suspension components (one of the mules has that beefier rear axle) frame, bigger tires, more technology, accessories, spare tire carrier, roof rack, width, bumpers, etc I can easily see the Bronco 4 door being heavier than the ranger.
And right off the bat, upgraded drivetrain assuming 2.7............

The 4runner is 250lbs heavier than the tacoma. So you can figure things will be similar. Maybe 300 - 350 more if the drivetrain differences between ranger/bronco are beefier than the differences between the yotas. I dont think the hardtop could be heavier that the traditional body 4 runner but the cage could end up offsetting that a bit. I do wish the bronco body was 100% aluminum with steel frame and cage. Next generation maybe.

On the Fusions, they went to things like an M14 stud, vs M12 when they put the 2.7 in.
( I was shocked the first time I looked up wheel torque, 150 ft-lbs on a Fusion).

Anyway, if they carry over that amount of upgraded beef, could be a lot more
once you go 2.7 and 4:1 case, lets say. 17 Fusion Sport in 350-400 lbs heavier than
same year AWD 2.0 EB Fusion.

I guess my ‘07 JKuR weighs in at 5500, so ok. I was thinking the Ranger is longer, but yeah.

It's been confirmed that a manual will be available, but I wont need one living near a big city.

I want a 2 door well equipped for below $33,000 or I will get a Jeep instead. AND I DONT WANT ANY RECALLS.

Uhh...listed curb weight on an 07 Unlimited Rubicon is 4,315 lbs. Gross weight is only looking like 5240lbs, so if yours is sitting at 5500 you may have a problem

You’re right that is the GVWR.
Ford Bronco What’s your dealbreaker for new Ford Bronco? 214244BD-AC31-4B04-8E7B-648BC457DBEC

which if you remove 850 of max passenger and cargo weight and fuel it’s probably 4500.

So I go back to thinking the Bronco numbers seem high based on where the JKUR and the Ranger are.

I’d recommend going Jeep shopping because that’s not going to happen in a million years my dude.

Yeah well I want a ONE DOOR, MORE WELL EQUIPPED FOR BELOW $3300 OR I WILL GET TWO JEEPS INSTEAD AND I WANT OTHER COMPANIES TO NOT HAVE RECALLS EITHER.


Oh and manual hasn't been confirmed. Literally nothing has been confirmed except maybe they'll sell a Bronco one day.

One door? Only filthy casuals want a door, I want my Bronco fully caged with the doors welded shut so I have to climb in through the window.

Psht. I want Ford to build the truck around me and I want them to pay ME $33,000 to own it. And it needs 10 ton axles and 44' tires and if it can't cross the Himalayas it may as well be a MALL CRAWLER for WIMEN.

And it had better be painted with PPG Deltron Acrylic Urethane(DAV2764) C-70-WA-4667 with 01 on the side and the stars and bars on the top, too, or I'm not buying one!
