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


It'll be interesting to see how they compare offroad and IMO that will determine if they have lasting power outside of mall crawlers dumping the 4 door Jeeps for one of these.

Rockcrawlers and trail riders are going to be hard-pressed to dump their Rubicons with all the suspension mods for this.

Exactly. It certainly looks attractive, but the true test is yet to be seen. I mean, this is the company that recently recalled 2 million vehicles due to doors that could open while driving, and the simple fact of the matter is that Jeep has been at this for a really long time, and for good reason. It’s a nice first showing, and starting price is attractive, but it’s all too early to claim anything just yet.

This isn’t the 80s anymore. New vehicles are reliable as shite now. Even Fords. Hell, even Jeeps

No doubt. We're talking performance on trails, though. Call them mall crawlers all you want but a 4 door Jeep even stock is hard to beat off roading. I am saying that as someone that is very loyal to the 2 door too.

They will also battle which will be more unreliable.

I have faith in Ford to get it done.

That Blazer is an abomination


At least with the Ford, you will know it is a Bronco when you see one. The Blazer could be a Traverse or a Mazda CX9 or any other run of the mill suv on the road today.

The belts are going to fail. Belts have a finite design life and can be pretty accurately defined. Belts, especially timing belts, should be changed at the recommended intervals.

Yall have a great thing going there and should be able to get 400 more out of the engine.

Does that engine have timing belts? If so, get them changed asap. On some engines a failed timing belt will wreck the engine, because the pistons will crash into the valves.
