Looks Like Ford Bronco is Serious About Taking on the Wrangler

[Toycrusher]

@Toycrusher
Did we get a little loose with the numbers? Or do you have the baddest Ford Flex on the planet?

I used the tried and true one-mississippi two-mississipi method!

Bah, who am I kidding. There's no way my JL makes it to 60 in just 10 seconds

Ford should have just built this thing:

Grenadier is a hard no from me without even reading into it. Ugly box to me. Just my opinion .

As far as "the Wrangler will never have competition" statement. Don't look at it as a negative.
It's a negative for FCA but FCA doesn't pay our mortgages or rent. For us consumers it's a positive. Jeep will HAVE to stay on top of their game if a comparable vehicle hits the market. Competition can only benefit us consumers in the price dept. and quality dept.

You do see the irony of that statement, yes?

If Ford is smart they will put a 302ci or other small v8 in the Bronco and call it a stallion.

Ford has been moving away from V8s for years. They are all about EcoBoost these days.

I’m going to need a better picture or vehicle description so that I can exactly direct the tow truck driver to the correct location to pickup the disabled and abandoned Bronco.

Ford has anticipated the " Tow Truck Wait " with the Sleeper Seat in the new F150 . Stay comfy, grab some Zzzs while waiting for rescue... the Bronco will probably share that feature...

I think what I'm most excited about regarding the Bronco launch is watching the Bronco forum turn from the ever so hopeful, jitterbug-of-anticipation cornucopia it is today into the the classic automotive forum with topics such as:

"Can't sync phone with SYNC - HELP!"

"Do you even drive naked?"

"My Bronco's AEB mistook a shadow for a freight train and nearly killed my second family on the beltway".

"Should I be in Crawl or First when going over speed humps at the mall?"

and the inevitable

"Survey - Do you flip off Jeep Wrangler owners?"

Then you never liked LRs either. Which is fine. I've always thought they were cool looking and cool heritage....but sucked offroad. Axles the size of pencils....even in the "Full floater" versions in the D90.

Will you be able to tow the bronco 4 down behind a motorhome just like people do with their jeeps?

Probably. I don't know about all, but I do know that a lot of Fords can be towed four down including the F150. It would be silly if they didn't offer that feature for the Bronco.

@Tellurian
lol yes!

Did you guys see the leaked silhouettes over on the Bronco forum? The 2-door especially looks really cool. Can't wait to see what they've come up with for the door modes, rumor is they'll have a few different sections of the doors that can be removed piecemeal. If storage of said sections is on-board, that'll be awesome.

"My Bronco's AEB mistook a shadow for a freight train and nearly killed my second family on the beltway".

Second family?

Was this Mike Pence, or did he lose his first family in a Bronco II...?
