    Ford did something only a few companies ever done...Jeep’s are known for ..surprisingly many factory options...too. But when you look at how many , many options including factory 35 inch tires...on the new Broncos’...no one is close to them..
    WOW...incredibly! Ford will be leading the of factory of ultra customized trucks...!

    What is the future of Tacoma’s 4Runners and Tundras? Are they willing go with more amount of factory options? I hope so...
    No I do not wish to get one...Bronco..

    A few veclicles had so call instant factory lifts..that you can raise up and down...at a push of a button...this option never really went well with the consumer’s..

    Nice to cut the wind resistant on highways and get a lifted vehicle when going off roads..
    Aloha,.

    The Bronco looks good to me, awesome in fact. But I suspect over promises and under delivery will rule the day

    But if a RWD and the proven reliable 5.0L was on the table, I’d probably put my plate out for it

    At any rate, I wish them luck against the 4R and taco

    IMHO, both the 4Runner and the Tundra are way overdue for a new generation. Those two trucks are really getting long-in-the-tooth. We traded in a 2019 Tundra Platinum for our 2021 Pro, for several reasons: 1) poor handling on 2-lane mountain roads; 2) The technology was way old and out-of-date, like 10 years old, and; 3) the darn thing was just way too big which really limited its off-road abilities and parking. There have been many rumors of new Tundras & 4Runners, but the dates keep getting pushed out. We'll see what we get if they ever do show up.

    No offense, i promise, but when I read your posts, all I hear in my head is moderately broken English, or a dubbed Kung Fu movie. Either way, it makes me smile, so thanks... The Bronco is ok, but I wouldn’t buy one.

    If you want change you gotta hit them where it hurts, their profits.
    If you think the products are underwhelming or not up to par, stop buying them. The customer decides the direction the company takes. Keep making the truck the best seller in the category year after year, what impetus does toyota have to change anything when the sales/profits tell them the customers are satisfied.
    They even start removing small little things to save some pennies.. truck stays at the top of it’s class. Think they’ll just randomly start adding things?

    I saw one on I-75 near Dalton GA Sunday. 1st one I've actually seen. And I didn't get a good look at it. I was doing 75 in a 70 zone and it passed me so fast I felt like I was in reverse.

    I was slow to accept the Eco Boost engines, but Ford's been making them for 10 years now with no major problems. They had some minor growing pains the 1st year or so, but I'd be comfortable with them even though my 2014 has the 5.0 V8. I will strongly consider one in 2-3 years.

    I have seen one Bronco in person and it was kind of blahhh. I think it may have been the base model but nothing special to look at. I'm sure the top of the line Bronco is really nice with all its features and all.

    It would be nice if Toyota made it easier to run 33’s for the taco. The new bronco looks like a beast for sure. I think Ford are kinda forced at add more options to be competitive. Let’s be honest people buy Tacoma’s because they are well built, easy to mod, and last a long time! There’s a reason tacos and 4 runners sell for $$$, even when they have 150000 plus miles.

    working on it!
    Saw 2 Broncos this weekend and found them uninspiring in the configs that I spotted. I think with 35s and the top or doors off, it would be super-Jeep like but there is only 1 Jeep.

    Ford will struggle with the level of customization over time as it is a difficult supply chain problem. I suspect that they will adopt the Toyota supply chain approach. Toyota seems to build a few base configs and then has customization at the port of entry/post assembly plant and then again at the dealer. I had intercepted my TRD Pro prior to my build date and deleted a few of options (predator steps, etc...). It seemed like my TRD Pro allocation to the dealer had a bunch of options probably specified by the dealer. When I asked to add some, I got a 'maybe' (power bed lock) and it wasn't added.

    The problem with 33's is they're not that road friendly when it comes to quiet and comfort and adds a ton in suspension expense.

    I'd hate so ask what the price of a fully decked out one will be for what you'll really get. People getting price sticker shock now will probably get cardiac arrest
