I was thinking that too, lol.

Well Fuzzy, I thought maybe something constructive may come out of it.

Well to be fair, it is the “Bronco Sport” and not just straight “Bronco,” and the chart does say rugged utility and not serious off-roader.

Explain exactly what it is that were you expecting?

According to some US pilots who flew that plane regularly that I have talked to, suggested that just turning the autopilot off and flying the plane like you were trained to do resulted in no issues. The autopilot was flawed but there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the plane. Ultimately the reliance on automation and lack of experience for those pilots lead to those tragic accidents.

Perhaps, but it looks pretty badass. IMO, the base Gladiators are not very appealing, however the Rubicon and other lifted models look good. My son likes the lifted versions and I had sent him this one the other day.

After reading the last several posts, I’m not sure what people are expecting the BS to be. To me it seems like it’s competition will be the Compass, Crosstrek, etc, as previously mentioned. This isn’t meant to be a serious off-roader, it merely has to handle some light off-roading to get your mountain bikes to the trailhead. Most of that will consist of some gravel or dirt roads, and some wet grass. Frankly, just about any vehicle can handle that. Concerning price, we don’t even know what that will be yet, so it’s hard to be concerned about at this point. If they want this to be competitive with the aforementioned vehicles, then I can’t imagine they will price it out of the market. Although I don’t care for some of the details that have come to light regarding the BS, I would never choose those as options anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. However, those low end options will allow A more affordable opportunity to those trying to get in on the pseudo off-road game with a storied name badge behind it. After all, it is a company trying to sell vehicles to make money, which provides opportunities for them to build the performance vehicles that I actually like to buy. Those base models help pay for those performance options.

That’s funny, the front is the thing I don’t like the most about this vehicle. All in the eye of the beholder, right...

I have to concur that the wheels seem kind of small, and how do you not have black wheels available in today’s day and age? I’m also not particularly happy to see the 1.5L shown as an option. Hopefully what was shown is not reflective of everything that’s available. The full picture will be available soon, so patience is a virtue I guess.

That is terrible! After some pretty good recent designs by Hyundai, this is a huge miss for me.

My son has the Raptor version. Traxxas make some great products for a reasonable price for what they are.

I actually recall this same complaint in 99, when Superduty first came out. I personally liked it because I’m an off-road guy, but I certainly understood it from a utility and trailering perspective.

Perhaps the theory was Tremor package is what is supposed to serve the higher ground clearance role, but I can’t imagine industries that regularly use 4 wheel drive would pop for that.

I can understand why some would need it or want it. Which would be why I would suggest that it’s an option one way or the otherI can understand why some would need it or want it. Which would be why I would suggest that it’s an option one way or the other

I haven’t had any brake issues since new, although mine is a 2017. Were your brakes upgraded to Brembos in that package? How many miles does it have? It could be a bad Caliper causing some brake drag or something.

I don’t know how I feel about this. Perhaps they should make raising or lowering it an option.

C’mon we need good sources!

Looks great! I like the changes you made.

Basically they can get there with either motor.

I would say just go with the 5.2 L. I think the vast majority would like to have the sound back.

Agreed. If I didn’t buy an F series, I would likely buy a Ram.

It’s not entirely clear if they’re developing a full raptor competitor, since they stated they are dialing down some of the details of the truck. Nevertheless if they’re coming out with a motor like that for what is going to be deemed a competitor to the raptor, Ford is going to have to respond to that. As an owner of the current generation raptor and the previous generation as well, I do think the eco-boost V6 is a better motor in this truck versus the 6.2 L, with the exception of the good old V8 sound of course. The eco-boost feels powerful, but if this is supposed to be Ford’s highest performance truck, it’s going to have to have more power and likely a V-8 since the competition is starting to heat up.

That’s because little tires on 4x4s look like crap.

I’m not a big fan of either of those names, but if I had to pick one I would say Courier. They just sound dated to me. I also agree it shouldn’t have a Bronco linked name either. The Maverick name has been kicked around quite a bit so I wonder if it may end up on this vehicle.

OMG, I checked in tonight to see if anything was going on and wow, so many pleasant surprises!! I think it looks bad ass. I need a third vehicle, and this will be it pending on price, else wise I’ll have to knock it down to the Sport. They both look great, but I’m really pulling for this one though. Very pumped about the new Bronc!
