Can the new Bronco stack up against the Jeep Wrangler?

The launch has been worse than the explorer. A number of electrical gremlins have been showing up. They will get them sorted but one would be fortunate to avoid a first year build.

The tops especially the MIC top has been a disaster. Webasto(top supplier is completely incompetent).

MY MOD TOP Badlands will not even be produced until 2023. I reserved July 16, 2020.

@blk02edge did you ever get inside a 4dr version?

I know it's Hennessey(but you get the idea), these numbers COULD be fun and make a nice replacement for a JKU

Bronco has 64 bit encryption on the ECU just like the 21+ F-150 and 20+ PSD. You're not going to see any non-Ford supported tuning for a while, and when it does come out it's not going to be as cheap as we're used to.

That really sucks! Seems long wait times are more becoming the norm. But waiting THAT long is crazy.

good to know, thank you. they are getting awfully good at sucking the fun out of new stuff.

i was reading about the new harley sportster the other day, you can't free rev it past a certain RPM(not the limiter, way lower) and you cannot rev match when gearing down.

i'm gonna end up with carburetors and cable throttles if they don't stop.

Here you go guy’s - - note- - this was my 1st time going to something like this- - there were tons of Jeep’s here and I think I saw 1 90’s model bronco. Now there were a couple Gladiators putting in work I was surprised at some of the stuff these guys were trying to or going up. I understand not stock just throwing up some pics for some of us who don’t do this as a hobby. The last pic was just crazy cool looking so it got added lol.
