Have you driven anything with a 2.0L EB?

What brand of wheel & pedals are you using?

That rig makes it more realistic, but it doesn't make you a better driver or faster. Denny has a little bit of talent. There were some guys with a single monitor and their steering wheel clamped to a table that did pretty good as well. My son does a lot of iRacing, and I've tried it. It's pretty realistic and really hard. I'm looking forward to watching the Texas race on Sunday.

What is this other "ON-ROAD PERFORMANCE" vehicle shown on here? Is that the Fusion replacement?

I think it will cost more to get into a base Bronco Sport versus a base Escape. But I still think a similarly equipped Escape will about the same, maybe a little lower, than a Bronco Sport. And the Bronco Sport probably won't need incentives like the Escape either.

Anything with the "Bronco" name on it should be 4WD only.

What I mean is that when similarly equipped, they should be close in price. The Escape will be available at a lower base price because I anticipate the the Bronco Sport will have more standard features (4WD, more powerful engine, etc.) that will drive up its base price. But a fully loaded Escape & fully loaded Bronco Sport will probably be close to the same MSRP.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Escape and Bronco Sport were priced about the same.

I agree, this should have been the 2013 Escape. And I had a 2013 Escape and loved it.

Transit Ecoline

Ford did trademark "Bronco Raptor"...

Congrats on the new ride! Both the MKZ 3.0 and Fusion Sports are both hot rods and no one knows anything about them. I've surprised a lot of people in my "sleeper" Fusion.

It's probably a Platinum. A Limited would have bigger wheels & dual exhaust.

All of our company cars have been EcoBoost powered since 2012 and we've put a combined 600,000 miles on them without a single major problem (except for a transmission in a 2013 Escape with 140,000 miles). Our current oldest vehicle in the is a 2014 Fusion with a 2.0EB with 120,000 miles. Still going strong. My wife & I test drove Explorers with a 3.5NA and 2.3EB back to back and went with the 2.3EB, it was a no brainer. I bet a tune would really wake it up.

I don't keep up with Mopar much, but if the Tornado GME-T6 ends up in the Gladiator, that would make a HUGE difference.
