I really wish I could justify one as a second vehicle

Both of those were kind of disappointing....but Toyota and Acura fans have much higher standards than Ford.




Enthusiast cars are just a dying breed. It sucks but that's the reality.

The sport model will carry the bronco line and I wouldn't be surprised if the 2 door model bites the dust within 4 years.

Cool man. You should probably call Ford, they might want that one for their museum.

Ford and Jeep obviously think there is a market considering both have 2 and 4 door options on the new Bronco and Wrangler. The old Tahoes had the same options of 2 or 4 doors.


Let's not pretend the markets for a two door tahoe are the same as an offroad sports utility like a wrangler

My Dad has a 2011 Tundra with 418k on it. It’s his work truck, consistently carries 1,500 to 2,000 lbs loads, and makes tons of short trips. It has never left the state of Alabama. The only things replaced are a fuel pump, the alternator twice and the starter twice, and oil changes. Still has the original transmission fluid, original belts, and original hoses. It’s still being used for work everyday.

I’ll be a buyer of the two door in a few years when I retire to the mountains. Like the Outer Banks package. Very good looking vehicle

Nope! Will price themselves out.

#2. Independant front suspension.

No real competition to Jeep Wrangler if it don't have straight axle in front.

Yeah, sure, it rides better BUT that isn't why we buy Jeeps.

Others have tried. All have failed.


If Wrangler sales were limited to people who take them off road there wouldn't be a Wrangler anymore.

The mall crawler market is necessary to keep these vehicles around.

I may scoop one up in a year or two at half the price with a CPO. I also can’t wait to see how rednecks mod them.

It's tricky though. If the Bronco never catches on as a real offroader it might lose the market of wannabes.

Part of the image isn't doing it, but being able to.

The FJ was exactly that.

Crazy that they engineered death wobble into a factory truck. I have a friend with a F250 that had the death wobble. I assume the F250 has a solid front axle though while the Bronco has IFS.

I thought only high school kids drove Tacomas? There are adults out there with them?

JKs did as well, have heard the problem is somewhat common on the JLs.

Any solid front axle will have the risk.

The JKs they put the wrong size bolt on the body side trackbar.

Yea you can easily get it on a Jeep. I did the lift on mine and it death wobbled at first. I had to play with the adjustable track bar and control arms to get the angles right. Scary as shite when death wobble comes at you on the interstate at 70 mph.
