Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler mega thread

[Sean L]

I drove past a dealership this past weekend and they had a Bunch of them (like 10 of them). I think it was in Milford CT. My first though was, "I thought these things were hard to get".

So far for me, the only ones I've seen on a dealer lot were in employee parking, lol.

Plus one that was a demo model and not available for sale (or test driving) yet. But it sold the day it became available.

(Bloomberg) -- Ford Motor Co.’s hot-selling Bronco sport-utility vehicle is the subject of a safety investigation by federal regulators for catastrophic engine failure that can cause the vehicle to lose power at highway speeds.

I was driving one of the Foremen's truck from the shop the other day and the (Brand New) 2.7 blew out on me. Blew a sensor right out of the charged air tubing going from the intercooler to the throttle.

I like the upgrades they did, but couldn't they at least design a proper wide body for it?

Long known issue btw. It was a bad part shipped from one of their manufacturers for certain VINs in 2021. So the issue was not design related, but quality control.

yeah the fenders are fugly. im sure some aftermarket companies will come up with something better. that's the only real negative i see (looks wise).

I've seen a few renderings but nothing anywhere near production yet.
