I’m surprised they didn’t slap the Mustang brand on it.

[68style]

Looks cool, can't wait until the first shots of cracked frame from haters who abused the shit out of it and then said "SEE HOW EASY IT BROKE MY JEEP IS BETTER!!!!"

[whitev70r]

Thot OJ Simpson single-handedly ruined the brand name, no? Maybe a generation has passed.

[320icar]

It’s going to be horribly overpriced just like any other cool ford product

[68style]

Nevermind the legions of sleazy ass sales guys taking deposits for dealers selling for twice MSRP as it’s likely to be sold out for the first while

Funny nobody gave a shit about the FJ cruiser it’s entire production run and now they’re gone and prices are insane for a used FJ and this thing comes rolling in like it’s so special 10+ years late to the party lol

Tried buying a beautiful modified FJ last year before settling on the Ford Flex. But for a 10 year old car it was damn near 50k (modified and beautiful). Could not justify that lol

[twitchyzero]

how overpriced can it be if jeep has gone porsche and make LED DRL, proximity keyless and adaptive cruise into options
i cant complain having another choice in the market for an off-roader that can be topless/doors off
latest passport, jimny, defender are all pretty new designs so i dont think this is late to the party if there's a real demand

i dont get the FJ hype tbh

- still based on the prado yet no v8
- bulky on the outside but cramped inside/cant sleep in it
- joke of a blindspot and plastic galore interior from that era of toyotas
- leave the gimmick suicide doors for oddball EV and rotaries

i do like that Hino built it and it comes in some nice colours but if imma pay overlanding tax id rather have a lexus LX

[underscore]

^ congrats on 20k posts.

Considering how many people buy Wranglers purely because you can take the roof off (and then they never do because it's a PITA) I imagine these will sell well even if they're crap.

If you compare it to say a defender 90 or two door jeep it doesn't seem that small. It's midway between that and the 4 door or 110. I agree though, it does waste quite a lot of space.

For serious over landing you don't really want a v8. A 4pot diesel with a turbo is perfect. A v8 is going to be a bit heavy on sand, plus you'll get hit hard in some countries that tax you at the boarder based on engine size (for they environment they say...)

I wish LR and Toyota would bring the diesel version of their overlanding trucks here. When your out in the sticks the quality of the fuel can be a bit iffy... and if you need a higher octane then you're really rolling the dice. Doesn't really matter so much in Canada/US though I guess.

Having death wobble rear its ugly head when you're in the middle of using all 485 hp is gonna result in one hell of a butthole puckering.

screw the defender. i'd take this instead.

in all seriousness, all those offroad tech and suspension controls shown were pretty cool. looks like price gonna be around high 40ks - low 60ks?

I I want one damn

That's some impressive stuff. They didn't just try to compete with the Wrangler, they went to kick its teeth in.

[twitchyzero]

5.0 in 2022?

price gonna be around high 40ks - low 60ks?

cant see dealers wanting to bother with base models
i expect them in the 50s for the average hot seller (4-dr mid trim)

[MarkyMark]

Ford didn't fuck around on this one, Jeeps gonna have to do more than just stuff a V8 in theirs if they don't want to lose a bunch of customers.

I expect the dealers here to have a bunch of fully loaded 4 doors asking around 80k lol

[vitaminG]

Bronco is independent front suspension though. I'm sure Ford knows the average buyer doesn't care but Jeep is still going to have bragging rights for hardcore rock crawling

At that price, you may as well get a loaded Defender.

[twitchyzero]

is that saddle interior part of Lux pkg?

too bad you cant opt for it in Black Diamond with Sasquatch pkg

[tofu1413]

looks like the sweet spot is the 40-50k.

still a bit cheaper than the 4runner trd pro.

[Hondaracer]

Looks pretty good..

Personally I think Jeeps are a bit of a niche market and this is going to have more mass appeal than a wrangler etc. Personally I would never even consider getting a Jeep but in terms of an SUV which similar capability I’d be far more likely to get into somthing like this

[CorneringArtist]

Fuck a Corolla GR, imma go for this. Fucking headasses at Toyota not even bothering to compete, their answer to this in 2021 for the 4Runner is LED headlights. The SR5 is priced right where the base 4-door is, and all you get is a 10 year old powertrain.

[AstulzerRZD]

This eerily reminds me of my Mustang - stylish product that makes you feel all the right things.

Hope they can get the build quality (i.e. no crazy rattles 1 year in/top that seals against the windows 50% of the time) and 10AT transmission tune right (literally redline upshift stalling or 5-4, 2-1 downshift locking up wheels).

[Dbone]

It does look like they did a good design job on this.

I'm looking to buy something that can fit kids, go camping, and tow. This is really close, and seems like a much better value than the new Defender but it only tows 3500lbs... Would that be enough to get a 2000lbs load on a trailer up to the Okanagan?

[Teriyaki]

Can't wait to see all the untanned twanger legs rolling around with their doors popped off

[KDMofo]

As someone who got a Tacoma for the reliability over the Wrangler. I'm curious how the Bronco will compare to the Wrangler. Definitely will consider once my lease is up.

[underscore]

The more I look at this the more I want one. My original plan was to replace my Grand Cherokee with a Frontier since I don't want a big truck and the only offroady SUV is a Wrangler which I don't trust, but it looks like out of the box the Bronco comes with everything you normally have to add with aftermarket stuff. I'd like a front receiver to plop a winch into when I get stuck but other than that it'd be buy it and go.

Buying one used in the spec you want may be tricky though, what with all the optional features and packages. Even down the base model you can option lockers and 35's, which I'd want.

Bronco is independent front suspension though. I'm sure Ford knows the average buyer doesn't care but Jeep is still going to have bragging rights for hardcore rock crawling

For every hardcore Wrangler that actually makes use of a SFA there's thousands that don't. And likely those few guys will stick to the Wrangler for a while purely because it's familiar.

[MarkyMark]

The good thing is if this is a hit it's going to force other companies to follow suit with their own off road vehicles. I don't know if Toyota will get away with their half assed Pro packages which is basically some different shocks for an extra 10k.

The more videos I watch the more badass this thing looks. I'll be keeping my F150 a few more years but this will be something I'll look into when I'm looking for a new vehicle. Bonus points if it will fit in my garage unlike my F150 lol.

Even the wife loves it and she usually rolls her eyes when I show her new vehicles lol

Just watched the videos about the new interior options on the brand new F150 as well, damn..ford bringing the heat with these two

[SkinnyPupp]

Has a new model ever been this universally praised here on RS?

[punkwax]

^ not a model of vehicle no.. but the NSFW forum has fallen off in that respect, recently.

[twitchyzero]

Has a new model ever been this universally praised here on RS?

i think it's just a combination of superb retro styling, not some cop-out crossover off a car platform cashing in on a heritage name, modular design (can be good or bad) but mostly pent up demand for an affordable off-roader/fun vehicle

i guess it's also sorta palate cleansing in sucha bleak year so far

i mean these are just spec sheets and pretty brochures so far, i'm trying not to get too hyped until review of production units but so far seems promising

[dared3vil0]

I reserved a Badlands 4 door. Stoked.

Why would you care about reliability on a lease? :derp:

[underscore]

^ because he isn't paying thousands of dollars to walk home.

[MarkyMark]

Lol give other manufacturers some credit, most can make it through the warranty stage without leaving you stranded. You buy Toyota reliability for the later years when the warranty is long gone.

Based on people's views on it so far, apparently it is a love it or hate it design. I personally love the way it looks. Good to see Ford is coming out with exciting products again.

After I bought a 1994 4Runner that immediately decided to shit the bed on my first drive home with it (alternator), I reserved a Bronco. Gonna fix the 4R to beat the shit out of it and then get the Bronco in the spring.
