Looks Like Ford Bronco is Serious About Taking on the Wrangler

Center diff lock is completely unnecessary in a regular 2 speed transfer case....it's only applicable to AWD systems.

Is Ford planning to make the Bronco AWD?

I hope Ford stock goes even lower so I can buy some more. With the introduction of the Mustang Mach E Electric which is sold out, the Bronco, the Bronco Sport, the redesigned 2021 F-150 and the Explorer which is now selling like hotcakes Ford will do just fine.

Have you seen the Mach E Mustang? What a horrible name... That's no Mustang. Reminds me of the Mustang II fiasco.

I know right, I hate that they are using the Mustang name on this.

Ford realizes that they have to evolve the mustang name. They don’t have a choice. Basically the same way that there are quite a few vehicles nowadays that carry the Jeep name that have basically no off road capability. Ford has a ton of brand equity in the mustang name and to only utilize it in a platform that will probably never sell over 75k units again is an absolute waste. Tesla is about to eat everyone’s lunch and Ford decided to utilize that brand to fight back.

Just looked at the new " Mach-E" on Tuesday at the Cleveland Auto Show...ugly. ( I'm not a Ford fan anyway)

Simply not true. Make an EV Mustang that has wild acceleration and decent range in a sports car chassis and it can "evolve" into an electric version of what it was as a petrol muscle car.

There is already an electric 2-door mustang on the way. I’m sure the Mach E will outsell it 5:1. People do not buy 2 door vehicles anymore. Hell, look at the JL! For every 9 4-doors there’s a 2-door.

The reveal is within the next 30 days so it’s gonna be close. Traffic will go up closer to the reveal I’m sure.

The question is will the

I thought the exact same thing when I saw it at The Chicago show!

Yeah...people don't buy two door sports cars. You're totally right; sports cars are almost always sold in the 4 door variety. <-and that is sarcasm. Hopefully you get it, b/c I'm laying it on pretty thick.

Well 97k Chargers vs 60k Challengers sold last year, kinda proves the point. I don't like it, but it's true. Those cars are as identical as they could be, and the fact is that the 4 door sells more.

While the Charger is faster in the quarter mile for drag racing, it's also heavier...so lap times are unlikely to be as good. I wouldn't call a Charger a sports car either, though.

Hey neighbor , I'm down the street in Olmsted Township. I was there on Sat and was disappointed in the Jeep display with the two Wranglers . Pretty sure it was more last year. I was looking forward to the 2 dr Wrangler from the Chicago show with aftermarket parts installed.. As far as the Mach E , I like it. Sure it's not a Mustang per se but does carry some styling cues. I have a 15' Mustang GT (garage queen with 14k miles) as well to go with the Wrangler. Different strokes

Having just come from a Charger, I wouldn't call it a sports car either. It pulls hard and is a straight line beast, but it's way too heavy to track. The Challenger is heavy too, Dodge needs to bring out the Barracuda they've hinted at and make that a true sports car.
