Based on an Escape, so yes it is.

Nice truck. A lot of nice details. They had me at "Sasquatch Package".
Can't wait for the Raptor version...

The new real Bronco, not the baby Sport, does it have IFS or? I would think that would limit articulation if it is struts or wishbone up front.

Yup sounds like just a rebodied escape.

Which isn’t a terrible little SUV. Mine has been great.

Good option if you want a tough looking mall crawler for 25k.

Sounds like an off road biased IFS. Based on what I’ve seen 100 series Land Cruisers tackle, I suspect it will be fine.

more gnd. clearance than the jeep

articulation not as good

kinda makes you hate diversity

bronco has some neat colors and i like the 4 door look. if it wasn't a Ford i'd consider it.

Why? They’ve been making great stuff for the last few years....

my coworker just bought a used 2014 FJ. when those came out, i didnt like the look. they REALLY grew on me. i love them now.

i think the Bronco will do the same..but i do kinda like it now even. its has the same vibes to me as the FJ. just kooky cool

Saw my first new Bronco today. It was prominently displayed in the Ford lot as I drove passed. It was in battleship gray color. It looked a lot like the FJ and about the same size. If it wasn't for the fact it was out in front of the rest of the cars in the lot on a display stand I don't think I would have noticed it.

I think the Bronco looks cool in 2 door version, but not enough to trade for my Jeep.

if your Jeep had rectangular headlights, would you trade?

Ryan_Cunningham 12-30-2020 10:23 AM

I've owned a number of off-road vehicles - Three Wranglers (YJ I4 which was terrible, 12" lifted TJ with 37" tires and only a bikini top, and a lifted four door JK Rubicon), as well as an XJ, and a Discovery 2 which is still my daily, and the newest off-road capable vehicle that gets me excited is the new Defender 110.

I saw a black on tan example in person for the first time last weekend and was stunned. It was absolutely beautiful. Now if only Land Rover didn't have an issue with reliability...

Regardless, can't wait for all of the mentioned used examples to come around in three years when my wife is looking for a cool new family carrier!

If it had rectangular headlights I would need to keep it to outrun the T-Rex. SmileWavy

No it was a trick question!!! correct answer is 'it wouldn't be a jeep if that were the case'.

I saw a new Defender and thought it was the ugliest thing ever. Looks confused and has a mix of styling.

I agree, I find it to be over styled and trying too hard to look rugged.

I'm more concerned about the 4WD system and assume it will use their current IWE system.. not the most robust system for a serious off roader..

I saw a Bronco Sport in my rearview mirror last weekend. He was behind me for a couple blocks, and then into the left turn lane next to me. Didn't look as bad as the pics, but still not as good as a Wrangler or (full) Bronco or the original (1990s) Defender 90.

they did this in '74 or '76 or something - didn't last long (for obvious reasons)
