Ford Bronco to debut on OJs birthday.

[Rick Modena]

I can't find the gvwr anywhere on the bronco. I'm ordering one if it's over 6k.

I'm not sure what it is but given that it only has the 2.7 EB 6 it should be able to tow pretty well.


edit, just read that the 2-door has 3500lbs towing/1100 payload & the 4-door 3500lbs towing/1370 payload

That death wobble is no joke. I've never owned a Jeep but a close friend has a highly modified Jeep and it's done the death wobble countless times. I've sucked some serious seat cushion up my ass when it happens.

Hah, yup. That is the recommended emergency procedure in that situation.

Yeah I have a buddy with a 2015 (I think) and that thing is unstoppable off road.

I don’t keep up with all the Jeep news, but last year they had a messy recall about bad frame welds on 2018/2019’s. Plus the death wobble that just comes with Jeeps.

They are hard to beat. My 13 model rubicon with a level and 34" tires is a beast off road. And with 110k miles hasn't needed a thing. I'm not sure if quality has gotten worse. That said, I dig the new bronco and couple see myself owning one someday

To be fair, we're talking about Chrysler here. Everybody does a much better job with quality than Chrysler. Jeeps have just been historically worth looking past that because nobody else makes anything that is as offroad capable as a Jeep. Well, until now, that is.

Ford's marketing department has done their job. A lot of buzz about the new Bronco all over social media and the internet in general.

Yea, I'd say this was a pretty successful intro..

I don't think they'll convert many hardcore Jeep people, but It seems like they did a pretty good job of fixing the little problems that I hate about our wrangler. No decent options for mirrors when you take the doors off, and the big hard to handle hardtop that's difficult to safely store.

Not so sure. The Wrangler JL has burned a lot of good will with it's quality issues. Traditionally, Ford does a MUCH better job with quality and the lack of a solid front axle means the steering should be much better by default.

I'm pretty sure I'll be trading my Wrangler in next year.

So do you think Bronco drivers will adopt the Jeep wave, or come up with their own?
