Looks Like Ford Bronco is Serious About Taking on the Wrangler

That 7 speed manual, with the Super Granny Low will be very useful...maybe Ford will have a " Better Idea"

I expect that the transfer case will only be available with a 2.72 to 1 ratio, so the granny low will be very useful.

Looks like the Bronco colors were accidentally revealed. They have a Sting Gray like color.

Damn, no Bronco colors on the Bronco

None of those colors do anything for me. I saw them posted in the Bronco forum a while back and was disappointed. With the exception of Cyber Orange, they look like they belong on a Lincoln Town Car.

Buckle your seatbelt - the future is electric.

I certainly hope so, imagine how cheap petroleum fuel will be.

Race Red is sweeeeeeet (says the guy with a Firecracker Rubi).

If anyone needed another reason not to buy a Ford...

By the way, our Jeeps don’t transmit any data anywhere do they? I assume not, I have the 7” uConnect not the 8.4.

Almost every new car has some kind of black box data recorder. Some JLs definitely transmit data. Your cell does plenty of transmitting.

Tracking the cell phone... that’s a given. And black boxes are one thing; I understand the idea behind them, but they aren’t the same as what that article is talking about. I don’t like the idea of my vehicle continuously sending data to mother FCA who can then sell it.

Not all of us have cells.

Yeah, but those that don't all work for Geico.

If the future is electric vehicles, it’ll likely be trading one problem for a new one such as the massive hunt for rare earth minerals that is not landscape or environmentally friendly to the countries it’s mined in. Then...the batteries. We’ll see how clean that recycling is if/when all world vehicles are needing new batteries. We’ll see if people step up as skeptical stewards of the environment and landscape. As of now, the tech and capacity to store electricity seems to have mostly stalled...years ago. Then we’re distracted that the problem is charging speed too.

It may be pushed to happen, but I think the best compromise is gas/electric reclaiming otherwise wasted energy like eTorque etc. Maybe the Bronco will get an option like that.

I don't.

Under "ideal" conditions 120 miles in 8 minutes. That system is probably far from readily available. I am sure it will improve though. Only a mater of time.

That still sucks. It HAS to be better.

Back to bronco and away from the current (pardon the pun) lame batteries. lol

Here's a guy who echo's MANY enthusiasts thoughts....are you listening ford?
