    Why is this in the 3rd gen section? I wish Ford all the luck, but the Bronco is like their stock a dumpster fire that I won't be buying

    I own a K5. I need short wheel base 2 doors and a real removable top. The sound of my 355 with glasspacks vs a 3 cylinder

    I've had 4 K5s and absolutely love them. I'm getting a 2DR Bronco because I like the short wheel base and removable top. Something the FJ did not have. The choices of engines for the Bronco are 4 or 6cyl.

    Mine will look something like this, except steel wheels.

    Of course. Would not be buying if it was auto only.

    A 2 door topless SUV just has to look good, it will probably never leave the pavement. 4 cylinder AWD Auto is exactly what a hipster middle aged woman wants. There was a giant whole left in the market with the disappearance of the Sidekick and Tracker. Off roaders and rock crawlers are not the people that keep the resale value of Wranglers in the ridiculous realm.

    If the new Bronco ever makes it to the show room. The Bronco will be the only 2dr body on frame vehicle available in the USA. There's also the Wrangler but I don't want a Jeep.

    Yeah, with the absence of the FJ, not a lot of choices for a 2DR out there. If my 2011 FJ had a removable top, I probably never would have sold it.
    I plan to run my 2DR Bronco hard.

    No you haven't. Those are Sports. Ordering opened up today for Broncos with an expected delivery to start in June or later.

    The basic 4dr one works for me. Too bad they are hyping the fuck out of it to drive up prices.

    Probably better than our V6s would but that's not saying much lol.

    And most Tacomas do? This thread is a comedy goldmine.

    Yeah, pretty shocking a business would try to make an initial profit off a new launch.

    Sat in a 4 door one at a dealer in Concord Ca. Last night. I believe it as a outerbanks edition. 40k on the sticker. Felt like it had more room than a 4d jk. After a escape that lost its Trang at 80k miles and a leased fusion in done with fomoco. Yes was picking up the fusion. A/c problem.

    I saw a new Bronco Sport today and I could not believe how small it is!!! Are they all going to be they small? Or is that simply a small model? It’s soooo tiny.

    If they’re all about that small... there’s gonna be some serious disappointment out there.

    I think the bronco is awesome, and Im tired of outdate design and mediocre engines from toyota.... there I said it.

    Also for full size, has anyone seen the mpg of the tundra!? Jesus. For the size and cost I'd get a full size either 3/4 ton diesel or half ton diesel.

    Dodge, and chevy are doing diesel half tons. Ford does the ecoboost. Toyota? Same 5.7 lol

    Well, I'll be surprised if my Bronco gets 18mpg, but I guess that's better than a lot of Tundras.

    Eh diesels suck. Emissions have ruined them, have to the deal with DEF and extra filters is a pain. My buddies diesel went into limp mode not long ago because he forgot to add DEF. no thanks. We are actually seeing a huge spike in older diesel prices, people are asking $30k for a 90ssquare body with 200k miles and getting it.
