My bet is they tested a Overland or Sport last year and applied that to all trim levels. They then saw the tire size and gearing? difference and tested a Rubicon specifically and applied the updated mileage for that trim level for 2021. The EPA now lists two fuel economy ratings for the 2021...
I know it’s not the heart of the thread, but are they planning to make the swing gate rear glass removable, like in the picture with the Powertop? Right now you can only remove the rear quarter windows
If it really comes with a manual transmission and turbo engine, I’m in. Been begging for Jeep to do this. What’s really frustrating is they said they could and don’t do it for financial reasons. Even with the diesel...
My bad. I misread a post on page 1, and thought the limit was 370, but that’s NM, only 273 lb ft.
I therefore revise my plea and wish they would “beef up” (Mike Manley’s words at JL intro 2 years ago referring to the diesel version of the auto) the 6MT to be suitable for the better engines. If...
Love everything about it but without a manual transmission I’m out. Would love to see them at least put 6MT with the gas turbo 4. No excuse there as it could handle the torque, and in Rubicon eTorque is out of the way. Most rumors say Ford is having Getrag design a 7MT for bronco with cool turbo...
Yours has a mild hybrid system with a belt start generator and alternator delete. This is what will be on the Sahara in 2020. The others will be “regular engines“ with ESS.
Hopefully you guys are right and they are listening to Rubicon owners. This is the last time I will mention it in this thread but I hope they listen on broadening manual transmission options as well. :-)
I remain very disappointed in the lack of manual transmission options. It is so frustrating that it appears that the Ford Bronco will get a turbo engine with a seven speed manual transmission and Jeep fans have been clamoring for an option like this forever. Even taking the extra time to...
3.6 BSG in Ram 1500 2WD EPA 20/25 with 22 combined. This compares with 17/25, 20 combined without BSG for the 2018 model.
For reference, the EPA On the JLU is 18/23 20 combined for the 3.6, obviously without BSG. I would expect the city component will improve and the highway component will...
