Raptor Bronco?
Would be sweet, problem is making a good rear suspension setup in an suv without huuuuge practicality downsides.Raptor Bronco?
They need to have OJ Simpson promote it.
I don't know why FORD pushes the eco-boosts so much. They actually aren't that efficient for some reason.
They make better torque/power and the fuel mileage is equal to or greater than. 99% of people do not know how to stay out of boost for city driving. We have a few EB vehicles and they are definitely better, that's just not a popular opinion on a car forum who love a classic v8 (understandable)I don't know why FORD pushes the eco-boosts so much.

You'd think technology would allow for better MPG now. My Speed6 nets me 23-24 MPG on the regular & that is being in boost a lot.They make better torque/power and the fuel mileage is equal to or greater than. 99% of people do not know how to stay out of boost for city driving.

example: my GF and my buddy both DD bone stock focus ST's and my buddy get's horrible mileage compared to my GF who drives it according to the dummy gear recommendation on the dash. My buddy thinks his EB sucks on gas but in reality it's all him.
So you're saying Ford builds cars that only 1% of people know how to drive properly. Brilliant. My brother has a 12 Ecoboost F150 Platinum. No traffic, highway, 16 MPG at best. I spent a few years in the ecomodding hobby, I can squeeze, hypermile, whatever. I can get full tank 22mpg out of my auto CTS-V with mods. But I can't drive that truck to good fuel economy to save my life. For MPG, give me high compression N/A over low compression turbo any day of the week.
thats very odd, my 2012 ecoboost truck (2 wheel drive, 3.73s) will knock down 20.5mpg with the cruise control on 78.
also its been mentioned before that these small displacement turbo engines do well in EPA mileage testing to help them meet cafe standards. The motors then dont meet the expectation in the real world for the most part, seems like the EPA testing is outdated/unrealistic but then again...we're talking about a government agency so no big surprise
People will be pleased with the Bronco. Very pleased.
Blows my mind people don't understand this. Actually, that's a lie; since The Internet was invented, I am never surprised when people publicly fail to understand the obvious.
The shit is designed to meet the test. That's it. CAFE, emissions, various market-specific displacement regs...that's why the shit exists. You can replicate the test results all day long if you use the testing methodology. If you don't, you won't. Shocking. Utterly shocking!
I drive my wife's car with the 3.5L TT and I get an easy 4-5 mpg improvement over Queen DD leadfoot.
People will be pleased with the Bronco. Very pleased.
All I know is the Bronco will have solid axles from Dana. Also, Bill Ford said "It will be a true, tough Bronco; a real off-road vehicle.”Unlikely.
It's not going to be a Moab rock crawler though if you're primarily into that.

It makes me excited for the Bronco but I really want to see how it compares to the Jeep.
