    You have to wonder if it were the same team that named the Mustang Mach-E?

    I was looking at a 3.5 F150 XL single cab FX4 built for towing, looks had nothing to do with it. I don't need any that, but I liked how it was optioned. It sold!

    When cross shopping a SR utilty pkg with a truck that can tow and haul, for another 5K. I can't see that being a bad purchase.

    That one wasn't the right truck for myself, down right impractical. Was the first thing that came to mind. I was thinking about resale value, and how valuable the right truck is to the right buyer.

    Remember the Bronco II, that was a death trap.

    Yeah thats with a bit more weight on the chassis too. Rangers are running the 2.3l and tunes are getting them well into the mid 300s to the ground (torque). Pulling 60 times down into the 5 second range as well. Tunes on the 2.7l Bronco are going to be a bit of a shock for a lot of people out there. I know this doesnt appeal to a lot of the Toyota guys as we typically are mindful of reliability, but there are plenty of tuner guys making the switch to trucks. I came from s2000s and WRXs, so Im among that crowd. If the Bronco isnt for you thats a-ok, but its hard to argue with the potential here.

    Ranger 2.3l with a tune making 370+ torque to the ground:

    I was excited about a 4-dr turbo SUV for a decent price that could tow through the Colorado Rockies. Turned out the Bronco can't tow jackshit without extensive aftermarket mods. Then, after mods you still have the tiny fuel tanks and 19mpg at best. I wish you Bronco guys the best of luck.
