Toyota will do what they have always done. They sell the shit out of Tacomas with the platform they have. It will make no difference when they update the 4Runner.
That’s probably true. But a large part of what keeps buyers out of Toyota’s is the aged feel to the electronics. It’s great for their global sales in poorer countries but harder to compete in the US.
I think it is more than this. Toyotas are great cars. They're just not fun, too practical. Before I bought my JL we were looking at the 4runner, but it was so boring compared to the wrangler. Also very sluggish and just kind of feels like you are driving a school bus. I looked at a taco too, same thing and I didn't really want a pickup. I am really glad now I went with the JL instead.
Oh I agree. They are very practical and reliable, and should be. They are ancient platforms by today’s standard. The current generation was unveiled in 2009. So if you think R&D that’s like 18 year old technology.
Not sure TBH. Maybe it's a dealer who lives there. It was a white 2 door though sitting in a driveway. It wasn't there yesterday. It's Canada after all, I could probably go knock on their door and ask. LolPublic test drives have not yet begun here in the US although some dealers have confirmed that their mannequin/demos were produced last week. Ford is currently doing dealer event tours and showings but are not allowing reservation holders and potential buyers to test drive the vehicle. I was fortunate enough to see the Bronco a few months ago at the Filson event here in Seattle
Can you actually test drive a new big Bronco in Canada?
Did that guy show up in his Forest-Service green 1994 Bronco to test drive the new one...?
Prior to the Bronco my Ford experience was limited to a 2015 F150. I felt that interior was great, rugged, comfortable. I was expecting a direct copy and paste from the F150 to Bronco in terms of quality and feel but didn't see it. Everything just seemed to feel thin and cheap. Like you could break the window switches with too much pressure. And to go back to those awful accent colors. It's not even that the jeep interior is high end, but its simple and rugged.
I do not follow Ford very closely but something happened in the last 5 years where their quality seems to have dropped precipitously. I thought they were decent during their Volvo days.
Ok so pic looks skewed but, I'm running 37's although it looks like a 37 and a 33. ? Dunno. Bronco had sasquatch and 33's. But on 37's which it looks capable of handling with a 2" lift because control arms are straight in this pic. DAMN that would be a big bitch. Couldn't imagine driving it down a trail. Mall crawl machine.Nuff said.
