Apparently the base price is $28k and the premium price is $56k

I can't decide if I like it or not. The 2.7 is actually a pretty powerful little engine. I would have liked to have seen a naturally aspirated V8 or V6 though.

Not something I'd likely ever buy but more choices for the consumer isn't a bad thing.

Yikes. Swing and a miss for offroad.


I don't think these things are going to be bought to go offroad though. They will be mall crawlers.

Isn't this what jeep is notorious for?

I think these look damn nice.



It’s what Ford is known for

“Ford is recalling over 168,000 F-150 pickup trucks in North America to fix an electrical problem that could cause engine stalling or fires.

The recall covers certain trucks from the 2019 and 2020 model years built starting June 24 until Oct. 1“

Looks like the FJ Cruiser



It has the looks of the FJ, but none of the reliability.

That looks terrible


It looks like a modernized 60's to late 70's Bronco until Ford made the big 2 door version starting in '78. I like it. I figure there will be a Raptor version coming with the 3.5 Eco and more offroad capabilities.

Absolutely. If we are being honest, that's what most of the barbie Jeeps are used for though.

I think a 4 cyl diesel would've been an interesting option

Don't forget about the 2 million+ unit recalls for doors that fly open while driving.

Notice they didn't saddle this thing with a Ford badge. That's probably a smart move. They should make a white one for OJ.

I like it but with a towing capacity of only 3500 lbs, it’s useless to me. If it had a V8 with actual towing capacity, I’d reserve one

Dammit that’s what I was looking for. Guess I’m out too.

Agree with that.

Will have to see one in person to make judgement, but I don't think it is a bad little vehicle.

Just from looking at the pictures in the OP, it looks like visibility could likely be an issue

Inside doesn't look bad. Looks like a Jeep.
