I love my Sahara Unlimited but I am intrigued by the new Bronco.
Is the baby Bronco being launched today or the big one?

My Gladiator roof and doors are removable. I love it. My wife ordered a wrangler with the eco diesel. I took my truck to the big offroad event out here ( tierra del sol) and went on a lot of trails bone stock. now I have a lift and larger tires I am looking forward to hitting some harder trails. as for penis compensation? I have my Porsches for that.

Wonder if the new Bronco will offer an electric or hybrid option - THAT would be uber cool.

That is so great.

If I lived in your neck of the woods I would own one, no doubt!

Those little demi doors are cool Friend has a 4 door Wrangler that would love those things.

Chrysler probably offers a lifetime warranty on those and there’s dealers that sell them for $100-200 over cost, FYI. Something to consider if you’re going to keep it a long time.

Rented one awhile cack, and didn't like it at all. Had the turbo engine, which spent most of its time trying and failing to figure out the boost/gear equation. Made it a non-starter as far as I was concerned. My sister has one with the 6 in it, but I haven't driven it.

The turbo 4 would not be my choice either. The V6 is a good engine.

I test drove the turbo. I did not like it. I ordered mine with the 6 cylinder and a six speed manual. It is an adequate engine, there are hemi swaps for it for about 20k in 4 low this thing crawls up anything at idle. Compared to my cj7 it is like a Cadillac.

I like them, myself, but I've got no use for one. I saw one on the road today- they sure are boxy!

100% agree! I've owned two classic Broncos for the past 30 years and was ready to not like the new one but I'd be all in on the 2-door. Already 200 approved accessories and I'm sure a ton more in the pipeline.

Also available with a manual transmission.

I love my old ones but they are a bit basic as the years go by.

I wish they would have gone with a Signal Orange, but I think it looks amazing.
