Are you comparing the entire Ford lineup to one Jeep model? And not including the renegade, compass etc?

The oil filter gasket? Isn't the gasket part of the filter not the engine?

OP was comparing the Bronco to the Wrangler. The Wrangler holds its value very well. Overall Ford as a brand does not. Time will tell how well the Bronco does or doesn't hold its value but I suspect it will be about the same as other Fords.

FWIW I have a Ford and a Jeep currently so I am not knocking either.

Ford is going to run itself into the ground soon. Dealers are greedy and Ford is doing nothing about it
My local ford dealer has been sitting on at least 30 F-150’s for 5 months. Everyday I pass it’s the same trucks and they never seem to sell.

This is why auto corps are looking to move to a direct to consumer model.

Link to actual crash video?

And don't link to the computer simulation on YouTube.

why? you're jealous of an 1100.00 month payment, or are you smart and will drop 75k cash on a Ford?

I likely am. New ones look great


I have one, its the best vehicle I've ever purchased. I am rough on my vehicles and the GX without a doubt fits all my needs.

No great gas mileage but the ride is quiet and super comfortable.

Also, lets not kid around and act like Ford can compete with Toyota in maintenance, vehicle longevity etc.

Was going to buy my son a two door black diamond, but he didn’t want it…got him a 2 door car instead.

Seriously? You’re jealous of a lifted and 4x4 present day version of the Honda Element?

I see a 67 427 mint condition 4 speed red convertible Corvette in my town and I’m jealous. Not of a ride popular with women and soy latte aficionados.
