I could tell you, but then....
They’ve clearly put a lot of thought into it... that’s for sure. Seemed to check a lot of very specific boxes people have mentioned on here. Let the games begin!

Yeah, glad I waited. I really wanted the new Land Rover Defender but could justify the price tag, but the Bronco is really speaking to me.

2 door Wildtrak Sasquatch is supposed to hit 700 on RTI? I am filled with much doubt.

And what happened to the people who said that this would tow better than the Wrangler? Looks like it's also limited to 3500lbs.

They're pretty much the same. Ford really has a home run here. I may be a defector on the coming years. :CWL:
Nothing wrong with defecting. You're a customer with money and it's about time there is something that gave the Wrangler a run for their money. They've been sitting pretty and not caring about the customers and taking care of their issues. It's not that hard to produce a damn vehicle that has a better steering than what we got with the Wrangler. They wouldn't even acknowledge the Death Wobble. The internet is peppered with these issues.

Isn't the JL limited to 2000# towing?

I'm surprised, given the Ranger power train on the base. But the 2.3l is rated for less hp and torque than in the Ranger.

I was really looking into the 3.0d in the JL, then the JT, now I need it looks like I'll wait for the Bronco to show up at the dealers so I can test drive and see it in person. Used to have a 3.5 ecoboost SHO and really miss it. Was very easy to modify with just a thermostat, new plugs, and a tune.

I’m definitely interested. Still a lot of unanswered questions with it. Pretty horrible reveal. But overall I like it.

They should have had this back in 2010. As usual Ford is a 11 yrs late and a dollar short....
