Ford Vehicle Ordering & Scheduling Process
probowler replied to ice-capades's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
People here get really triggered if you say anything that paints ford in a bad light. -
No, it doesn't compare at all... I have a 1996 bronco. When properly equipped, you can fit 6 adults inside. The new 2 -door can only fit 4. The bed is also much smaller than my bronco. The new bronco may be wide due to much bigger tires and fender flares, but the interior space doesn't match the large exterior unfortunately. It's cool that the new bronco is the perfect size for you, but that is irrelevant to this discussion. The new bronco is not fullsize, and that's an objective fact.

The problem with using such imprecise terminology is you're spreading a false size expectation. Lots of posts on 6G by people who went to the Bronco demonstrations only to be disappointed by the Bronco's small interior space. These people are probably coming from a big bronco background, and it probably doesn't help you prepare for the size reduction when you see people calling it the fullsize Bronco. Remember that the last bronco could fit a max of 6 people, so if you start throwing around the "fullsize" descriptor you may be inadvertently setting people up for disappointment.

I'm jealous of that sound system. -
Bronco Sport PTU overheating??
probowler replied to blwnsmoke's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
You're not wrong with the last part either... but it definitely doesn't help support the argument that the Sport is a real "Bronco". I'm just so thankful someone at Ford saved us from that actually being the Bronco . Give...that...man...a RAISE. -
Bronco Sport PTU overheating??
probowler replied to blwnsmoke's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
I can't fault your logic here, though a small part of me feels like if you're going to use the Bronco name on a vehicle... then regardless if it's just the "Sport", then you really gotta deliver. Just like in the article, "Would you do it in a normal vehicle?" Doesn't really cut it when you use the Bronco name. I'm torn on this one. -
We have a police F-150 at my work, but its a year or 2 old now, not one of these new pursuit-rated trucks. I love it. A beast in the snow, nicely featured, and seems like a durable interior. It was a huge upgrade over our previous 2000s F-250.

Considering buying some Ford Stock
probowler replied to 2005Explorer's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
True, however the whole market is walking back today so I'm not too worried. Once the new vehicles start pumping out and if the economy opens up, ford should be good to go. The biggest problem I foresee for ford is rising gas prices hurting demand for their trucks/utilities, and more jobs slipping away oversees. If people can't afford new cars due to inflation, depressed wages, and more lost jobs then that could be a problem. -

Considering buying some Ford Stock
probowler replied to 2005Explorer's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Glad to see ford broke $13 and is so far holding it -
Maybe they want to debut it at an actual auto show, with real people and a real truck?

Most Popular Color of 2020
probowler replied to ice-capades's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
As a white car owner, this is definitely true. The real problem however, is dem bugs. Anytime I go out towards the woods where my parents live, those bugs just splatter all over my front end like paint balls. Looks disgusting after just a trip or two. -
A chrome truck bumper would have also been acceptable, and emphasized the "truck" factor.
-
Of course! but until then all there is to do in these threads is talk and speculate amongst ourselves.

Maybe you live in a cool town, but here is estimate red makes up around 15% it the cars I see. That said, If dodge still offered plum crazy, I'd be incredibly tempted to order a challenger. I just hate that it'sade in canada, and owned by Europe :/
-
Copying the WORST part of a competing vehicle is a bizarre move for sure. I'm sure there an explanation as T-Dubz postulated, but Ford needs to strive to always be the best, and beat what the competition is offering.
-
I'm digging the front end, though the rear at certain angles gives me a ridgeline vibe that i'm not a big fan of. Tailgate kind of reminds me of the sport trac which i do like. Overall should be a nice vehicle.

I have that color scheme now on the escape and I love it. My only complaint is the gray trim. I wish I had the glossy Piano black accents from the Limited. I'm sitting at home right now snowed in. The snow was too much for it and my stupid highway tires. Really wishing I had a 2020 Bronco Sasquatch right about now ? At least I got the day off from work!
-
I kind of get what they were going for, but the execution is lacking. The blue accents look great when matched with a full-on blue interior, and that sexy velocity blue paint job... but less so when it's surrounded by black or you get random red interior bits on your blue bronco. My favorite interior is actually the blue one, but I also want a red bronco... and that just won't be a good match ? Now if they eventually add a red interior version to match the red paint jobs, i'll be very content.
