    ..or a 4runner forum:)

    True. The 4runner guzzles gas compared to comparable sized crossovers and SUV's. I'm pretty satisfied with getting 16-18 and being able to go pretty much anywhere I want.

    Eh, I like it. Not gonna lie, I would’ve preferred it in a solid axle configuration for a number of reasons. But Even thought Solid axles are better for off road/rock crawling, I think it’s fine for most people. The reality is that most buying a $40-60k + rig won’t get into places where solid axles are required, by then body damage tends to come into play. At least it’s easier to fit 35s on it than It is on the taco. Locking front/rear, and at least they can disconnect the swaybar on demand. I’d buy one if I didn’t own a taco. At this point I’d just get a beater.

    I'm a fan. Looks like Ford listened to what people wanted and delivered a legit option to the Jeep. I think I'll keep my Taco, but I'm pretty impressed.

    Interior looks a bit over-styled, I'd like to see it in person

    Did you see Jeep mentioned they will be making a V8 wrangler today? They knew they needed something new to combat the Bronco.

    I really love what Ford did though, I even like the Sport

    I think you'd be surprised how many JK, JL, and JTs are out wheeling.

    2019 JL on 37s with beadlocks over the 4th, you can just barely see my truck in the back

    Household with an 18 Raptor, 18 JLU Rubi and 20 Tacoma, FCA service and products are worse than Ford, if given the option between the two, Bronco hands down.

    You're missing the point homeboy. If you carefully look at the first post I made, You'll see that I clearly stated that a modern IFS rig on 35s from the factory, with lockers, will do almost everything in NA. If the type of wheeling you do regularly means you need an SAS on 37's, well then good for you. I've had long arm jeeps on 37's. They're fine for rock crawling, but they sure as hell aren't DD's or weekend wheelers.

    A new, modern IFS on 35's with lockers is going to take 99.99% of owners to 99.99% of the places they want to go.

    Dam, You got me there.
    Solid axles are definitely more confidence inspiring.

    Even stock, disconnecting the sway bar from the base model has some great articulation.

    The dealer's service department is terrible.Gentilini Ford in Woodbine New Jersey is pathetic.They installed a new clutch pack and the rear main seal was leaking.They replaced it again and got butt hurt when I filled out a truthful survey.

    As you said, agree to disagree, one of my good friends DD's his JK on 37s with a long arm and another guy whom is pictured DD's his on 37s and beadlocks....moot argument

    I have an IFS truck on 35s, locked, beadlocks, etc. You aren't telling me anything new.

    To your point the people looking to buy this, probably arent interested in a Jeep to begin with and will satisfy 99% of most customers needs, they chose to buy it after all.
