The new Bronco has been designed and engineered *not* to be a Ford Wrangler. It is meant to be a "functional lifestyle vehicle" that is livable as a daily driver but completely capable as an offroader. Wranger will undercut Bronco at the lower end (Bronco Scout, this is your cue...), but that's the only tradeoff between the two. Go way back... the Wrangler's pedigree as original Jeep (many of which were Ford-built) has ALWAYS been a utilitarian, sacrifices-made vehicle that wasn't necessarily the best daily driver. The new Bronco will, as I'm told, bring real capability to a livable package with heaps of style and panache. Ford doesn't always get it right, but I've been assured that the Bronco *brand* is being handled with the same "golden goose" gloves as F-Series and Mustang. Apparently that's not good enough for some people ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more than sufficient for most of Ford's intended Bronco buyers, maybe this is not unlike Mustang where Ford goes so far and then defers to the aftermarket when buyers want even more.....if Bronco was to have say, locking front and rear hubs and Gladiator's cool stabilizer bar detach function, then perhaps those kinds of options would make Bronco far more supple over unequal ground ( Not saying those features are def there but just imagine if they were..)

I'd hope that the Bronco's rear hubs are always locked... Edited May 13, 2019 by SoonerLS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
