As a Jeep JKU owner, I’m glad to see competition. It will make both vehicles better, as to ensure they keep up with each other.

[@MusicianKnowsBest]

They. Knocked. This. Out. Of. The. Park. I absolutely love the new Bronco. I have an H2 Hummer SUT and the ONLY thing I would consider replacing it with is this new Bronco. I also agree one of my favorite features is the wash out and draining floors. That is so cool.

Amazing job Ford did with this. I would like to see the back hardtop come off easier. It would be nice if it was toolless or have a storage pocket with the specific tool on board and maybe a place to store the bolts as well.

Ready to see what kinda numbers a tuned 2.7 in a 2 door can produce.

[@michaelmascenik9171]

Exactly I will be honest I didn't read up on the stock power rating but I'm sick of Mfg's putting out some nice vehicles only to be ruined by a wimpy powertrain. 3cyl Turbo's, just low power in general or adequate power only to be ruined by them choosing to go with those dreadful to say the least CVT transmissions. Like Infiniti looks about ready to roll oùt what looks wise could "have been" a real hit. Just like the original & highly successful selling g35 & fx35's but then they go with a CVT. I mean what a terrible choice for what should have been an engaging to drive hot selling SUV to get the brand back on its feet. CVT's belong in Sentra's, not a sporty SUV that's supposed to revive the brand. I bet the Kia Teleride will be more engaging or a Honda Passport with 280hp a real transmission that's actually shifts! You guys get my point I'm surem

I ordered the 2.7 Badlands, lux package 2 door. Rapid red. After it arrives will test drive and if a no go will pass and get F150 instead. I have F250 presently. My only concern/gripe is the top! I’m hoping the carbonized gray MIC top is more charcoal/darker to match the mirrors and fender flares!! Why on earth would they make the top a lighter gray?? If I want the painted black then no Bronco until 2022!

[@dred5375]

It will! Full size broncos have been overpriced for 15 years now! When this bronco dropped prices skyrocketed on anything that said bronco! I've seen bronco II priced at 9000! I bought a bronco II 2 years ago and threw all explorer stuff in it with a 3" lift, I'm asking 12000 for it!

Does the 2 door have a storage bag option? I know they cant go in the bronco but for storage, like take them off and put them in thr carpot.

[@YloPony16]

By any chance, can you tell me the dimensions of the 2 doors? I just ordered a 2-door Cyber Orange Badlands edition.

Still original clutch everything is fine its a super reliable car the ecoboost engines last very well for the most part if taken care of. I would opt for the 7 speed manual with the 2.3 eb. Plenty of power and torque potential there and the 7 speed manual is the shit...very few cars are coming with manuals let alone suv and trucks. That is extremely cool in my book. I would like a loaded 2.3 with the 7 speed and the 35 inch wheel package ill have to wait till I pay off my 07 gt500 and the prices go down a little on em in a few years.
