Ford Bronco
Well, Ford has upped their game with a full-sized, true body-on-frame SUV with Dana diffs in 2 and 4 door models. I'm glad to see that they have done this.
They also have a Bronco Sport. This is apparently is placed to be CUV but one with a lot more off-road capability than the RAV-4 for CRVs. The Sport model seems more akin to our S10 Blazers but without the body-on-frame ours have. I think I'd rather have a body-on-frame SUV no matter the size but boy, the new new full-size Broncos look fun. https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod...h&resize=480:* https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod...h&resize=480:* |
I hate to admit it, but I find them rather impressive. Still not buying one, but wouldn't turn down a ride 😁.
|
Ive been waiting for this for years..wished they would of offered 5.0 or the 3.5 ecoboost with 7 speed manual. But i got a feeling they didnt reveal everything yet
|
No 5.0 and it looks ugly as sin. It's a no from me, dawg.
|
I'd buy one in a minute if I could afford it. My son is talking about buying one, so I can live vicariously through him if he does.
|
It's beginning to look like GM is turning into an 'also ran' in the truck game.

I very much appreciate that they have brought back a proper body-on-frame full-sized SUV. I hope the towing weight limit is at least 7500 lbs. As nice as they are I'm not sure I'd ever buy any new vehicle if I can avoid it. We'll have to see what I need/want in 10 years. :) For now my 21 y.o. mid-sized Blazer is fitting the bill. |
I've never been a huge Bronco fanboy, but I do find them cool looking in a way.
If I were in the market, I buy one before I bought a new Blazer... GM needs to step up now, throw away that joke they called the new Blazer and make a full body on frame full size K5 throw back. THAT would be worthy of the Blazer name. |

I saw this the other day and thought it was pretty funny (and sad at the same time).

Ain't that the truth...

I think I ran into about 5 new ones on the road... black and red compliment it... but still meh...
on the bronco side, I like how they went to the original looks, but that four door reminds me of a new land rover. |

You get way more for your money is you go used! And if you put half as much of a new car purchase into a used car, itll be new, AND still CHEAPER then a new vehicle lol

I see a crap ton of the new blazers in nashville, they look good, but thats not what either of us are interested in. I heard they were going to bring out a jimmy that would be more like the blazer we have .

I'll believe that when I see it. GM/Chevy doesn't care about the SUV or offroad utility market and it's shown for the past 15 years.

Someone in town got a bronco sport.... still not a fan, but they kept it more original, so it does look good....
|
I was at the Ford dealership yesterday getting my new truck and saw the sport and good I hate it lol! The wife is getting the proper Bronco but she wants to wait for the second year after they figure out the first year bugs

I am not trading in my 2000 GMC AWD/4WD Jimmy Diamond edition any time soon.. I just added a G80 locking differential. Along with the diff, new rear bearings & seals, replaced the rusty dust shields. Blasted and painted the diff cover and added a factory magnet into the diff cover. Front end: New passenger side axle bearing and seal, new Bilstein shocks, Upper and lower ball joints, New rear air shock are going on this Sat.
