Yall really need to get those changed, especially the belts.

Maybe, but they've run 418k miles, so it might be better not to mess with them yet.

The Bronco is a great idea. But as upper trim levels exceed $60K, it'll die yet again.

Base: $29,995
Big Bend: $34,480
Black Diamond: $37,545
Outer Banks: $40,450
Badlands: $43,590
Wildtrak: $50,370
First Edition: $60,800

I want one. I think Ford nailed this.

We all say that, but Wrangler is still only the 7th best selling SUV - in a market it theoretically has all by itself.



The wrangler gets terrible scores on everything and still does well. Critics know it is some anomaly. Challenging something that makes no sense is hard.

It was really cool of Ford to redesign the Toyota FJ Cruiser

Redesigning a great vehicle isn’t that terrible of a move

I think it looks too much like a chick car for Rednecks to jump to them en masse to make the aftermarket demand have a lot of options.

Then they should have stuck more to the OG Bronco with subtle changes like Jeep does. The Bronco was a great vehicle and there's a reason why one re-done correctly can fetch $60K.

This thing very meh...

I have owned a lot of Jeeps from various decades. I currently only have one and it's not a mall crawler.

I am currently looking for either a late 70s CJ or a 70s Bronco as a project vehicle.

I did. I just cut down to only one a few months ago and immediately regretted it but I bought a brand new Gladiator last year and only put 5K miles on it in a year. I don't drive enough to justify having as many vehicles as I had previously.

Why? The basis of a Willys MB is still very identifiable even in modern design. To think otherwise is being obtuse.

Yea it's cool. I miss my 2 door Jeep, though.

I got the Gladiator needing a truck and still wanting a Jeep to eliminate owning too many vehicles. Now I find myself missing my old setup with my 2 door Jeep and a full-size truck. I am probably about to go back to that setup but may give my wife the Gladiator.

Meh, I wouldn’t call finally showing up to the party as punching Jeep in the mouth. We’ll see.

Gotcha. Think we’re on the same page though. The 80e-early 90s CJs are GOAT
