I could tell you, but then....
my money and FCA or Ford has to work to get it.
Exactly right. I’ve always had the philosophy that whether it’s a dealership or manufacturer, I want someone who is willing to work just as hard to earn my money as I did. If their marketing or sales plan is to wait fir someone to walk in with a suitcase full of money and drive out in a new vehicle, they’re not for me. Without competition there is no incentive to work or improve.

And for the people that wanted all the Rubicon features in a Sport- you can do Sasquatch package on a base Bronco. Pretty cool actually.
I haven’t watched the whole reveal but that’s really good. One thing Jeep has really screwed up on with the JL is factory gearing. Sports/Sahara’s should have 3.73/4.10 available in addition to stock 3.45. Rubicons should have at least 4.56 available aswell.

So is that a standard D44 or does ford use in-house axles? Looks awfully lot like a D44 - do all models get the same rear axle?
Looking at the spec sheet, the axles are labeled with the same code as the Wrangler. So it appears they use Dana axles.

I could not agree with you more!

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Pretty impressive IMO, 400 ft lbs of torque would be nice on my JL :) 10 spd AT also a big plus although the JL AT is one of the best I've driven.
Pretty cool running 35s from the factory w/ a 10 spd that you could use all the gears out of the box!
Only the 2 dr looks proper though, at least to me, and a 12" info screen, wow!

Looks very formidable....Will be very interesting see it in person and take a test drive. Lot's to like but still IFS...I am glad to see they are offering a 2-door model-will force Jeep to show a little more love to 'the one who started it all'.

Jeep has known the Bronco has been coming for a long time and I doubt there is anything they did not already know about. Which would lead one to believe Jeep will respond pretty quickly via a mid-model refresh along with additional power options and of course a 35" tire option on 2-door's and a 37" option on 4-door's...

I want to know how the tops and doors come off. Why would they not include that?

Great debut Ford. Exceeded all my expectations. Love the interior; screen is going to look fantastic. Power seats as well?! I can’t believe Wrangler still has manual seats. What was the excuse again?

Competition has finally come to this segment. Hopefully other manufacturers join soon.

Lmao, it’s got power seats guys, wrangler killer. This Jeep is the first vehicle I’ve had since the 90s that doesn’t have power seats and it’s a non issue. Quicker to move It forward and back depending if my wife or I am driving.
