I will say that Landrover really screwed up with the relaunch of the defender series. This Bronco is what they should have done. I agree with Eddie, the two door really does have great lines.

Looks like you have a couple choices of transmission,
7-speed manual or 10-speed auto. Depending on options.
And some models offer 35” tire.
I look forward to seeing these on the road. The Ford website shows that you can put your name in and reserve one now. I think they will sell like hotcakes

Indeed. The four door bronco is what I pictured a current day Defender 110 to look like.

Jeep needs to pay attention to Ford's advertising on their Bronco commercials because the latest Gladiator commercials is sad.

Yeah that was sad from an enthusiast POV, but Groundhog Day more than makes up for that turd. :thumb:

I still think Jeep is full of shit. It’s a long road from concept to production, and a lot of hurdles still have to be met.

You may be right... But I think it's gonna happen. Especially in the JT.

I want to believe it is, but I can’t help but think their timing stinks. Gives me the impression they’re just insecure and waving their hands in the air so we won’t forget who they are during all this Bronco hype. If in a few months we are still getting credible news about actual development then I may be swayed to believe it is happening.
Fords site is down, by the way. Overwhelmed with pre-orders no doubt.

Jeeps aren’t for everyone. I talk a fair amount of people OUT of getting one. But, there is nothing I’d rather drive.

I really like the 2 door, Also don't mind the 4 door. I like their additional rear passenger panels in the 4 door model. I hope Jeep will take a look at that too.
The IFS will definitely make it have better road manners than the solid front we have, but as mentioned the CV axles are definitely a concern exp when throwing those 35s on as the option and with the crawl ratio and gears.
I think Ford will sell a lot of these to the daily's who never really wheel them hard. Did you guys see that they keep the mirrors on the body instead of the doors? Not sure how I feel about that. I know that it helps with the on road door less drives, but up here in Maine i never really have been hassled with no door mirrors. I know I'm probably one of the lucky ones.

I absolutely love my JT and it’s only going to get better. I don’t even miss having a full size truck. I think the Bronco is going to be awesome in its own way, not better and not worse. I’m excited.

I really want a two door Bronco Big Bend or Black Diamond edition with the 2.7 EcoBoost and 10 speed auto. Would a fun DD and light trail rig.
