Seems to be cheaper than the original in most cases.

Reminds me of the 66-77 style. They probably will sell a ton of them, that's what matters.

I have a Ford F-250 truck I just think these off road vehicles are more trending towards the millennial buyers. I have a 2019 Jeep Compass Limited, it’s turned out to be to small for my liking, I was hoping the new Bronco might be a good swap but I just don’t like the look, I also do not like the Explorer. I like the appearance of my two toned compass, the cabin is just to small. Always hitting our head on the roof when getting in.

I think it looks like those Toyota’s that sold 10 years ago or so. There’s a reason they stopped selling those..
Edit - I posted this just before I read the post before mine.

That one was my service truck and snowplow/wrecker. It was a 1973 J4000 originally equipped with a 360 AMC engine, with Quadratrac. When the AMC decided to puke the timing chain, out it came for a 455 Pontiac substitute. The Quadratrac also gave up the ghost eventually, and I pirated a conventional part time transfer case in it's place. That truck had 4.10 axles under it, Dana 44, and a Dana 60 rear. I never understood how the 1 ton dually Jeep I also owned, was a J3000, and the 3/4 ton single wheel was a J4000............... Jeep used strange model designations not in any particular numerical order. Later on they shortened it to just, J10, 1/2 ton, J20, 3/4 ton, and J30 was 1 ton, dual, or single rear wheels. I also owned a 1968 Military 5/4 ton M715 that I was in the process of converting in to a super wrecker, but due to life getting in the way, I never completed it. It also had a 455 Pontiac in it. Since I never completed it I don't have any pictures of it, but here's what one looks like in military trim: Dana 60 in the front, Dana 70 in the rear and a divorced transfer case hooked to a T400 transmission, was the plan, but it never got finished. It would have been tough as nails for a wrecker base. I had also removed the canvas soft top and vertical windshield in favor of the civilian slant windshield, and hard top. All my Jeeps, 3 Gladiator, J series, and 2 Wagoneers got the "JEEP/TO" Pontiac V8 transplants. The venerable Pontiac V8 was the thing Jeep engineers missed. It was a great powerplant for trucks and the early Wagoneer SUV platform. I used 350, 389, 400 and 455s in all the transplants I did, great engines for a Jeep with the low RPM torque curve. Perfect for pushing snow, and towing cars.

So far the JT and JL are selling like crazy I do service work for a plant that supplies parts to Jeep they are working 7 days again can’t Imagine if we where not in the middle of a pandemic. Walking new hires in every day and advertising on local radio every day. Now offering employees $40.00 bonus each week if they don’t miss any time. In my younger days they let you keeping your job if you came to work.

The Bronco Sport with the unibody and full independent suspension strikes me as more of a mall crawler than a serious off-roader. A turbo 3 cylinder base engine? Come-on Ford are you trying to steal a page from Suzuki's playbook?
The bigger 2 and 4 door versions are at least on a fully boxed frame much like the Ranger's, as I understand. The base price of around 29k puts Bronco on good footing to duke it out with Jeep.

Not a ford guy, but I really like it. If I could go to jeep jamboree's with it, i"d consider one to replace my rubicon. I think it looks alot more like the old scout then it does the first gen bronco.

Damn, going down memory lane with a new Bronco thread. It does remind me of a Scout II. I was on a off-roading tear in my youth. I had a 70 Scout II two wheel drive version with the short cab. Damn near broke my foot one day pushing that sucker off because I forgot how short the wheelbase was. After the Scout came and went, I moved on to a 73 CJ5. Back on subject, my son loves them and is waiting for them to hit the used car market before buying. |

And then, you have the Mahindra Roxor which is a cross between a CJ3 and a CJ7 with a 2.5 diesel engine. A new simple old school Jeep with none of the rust out problems, and a fully boxed frame with front disc brakes.
The newest version has a grille reminiscent of the early F 40 toyota, because FCA won a lawsuit claiming it was too close to a wrangler style grille, claiming copyright infringement. Classified as a ATV side by side when new, there have been people that have successfully had them titled for on road use. I'd like to have one myself, but I just don't have the funds to spend on a novelty 4X4. It'd make a great push truck for the Sprint car races............. |

I was wondering what ever became of that lawsuit. Definitely well justified.

Had this slipped by it would have been most amusing.

i think i like the new Bronco
The front end design is a bit sketchy It does look like an old Scout and a newer FJ had dirty wild sex somewhere. i thought i kinda liked the new FJ at first, because i like the old ones. Until i got inside, and drove a new FJ Do know i hate the new Jeep (4-door Scrambler) "Trucks" awful looking things The Bronco seems to have some real well thought out features. It will be interesting to follow when they actually get built and tested. I haven't liked hardly anything new in the past 30 years other than the 93-95 Grand Cherokee Limited and new Challengers. Wrangler tires - that was a good catch |
