I will admit I may have been wrong about this Bronco. After copious amounts of reading about the G.O.A.T system, it seems Ford has put a lot of thought into it. In Crawl mode it will hit the brakes on the inside rear tire effectively creating a “dig” for those technical maneuvers. Only thing I beat my head on is the IFS, for 98% of the people buying them, it’s perfectly fine but it could’ve been over the top with a solid axle. They should of sent you and I each one for testing to see whom could break it first. I don’t disagree with the solid axle, it’s disappointing but my back sure is hating my current front end. You watch the video when they discounted the sway/roll bar? Wouldn’t that be a hoot!?!? We’d surely [censored] it up but have a damn good time doing it Who gets stuck first would make a million on go fund me.

Funny thing about getting older:
Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to
see through people's BS gets much better.

I'll be waiting to defend my title.

Let's be honest neither one is a great product, but I got to admit the Bronco look pretty damn nice.

I like Jeeps just fine. It's the bottom-of-the-rung mechanics at the dealerships that terrify me. 'Had an '04 Rubicon I loved. Taking it to the dealership was like walking into Deliverance.

Every time I see the Bronco I like it more and more. Looking at the two pics in the previous post, it makes the Jeep look lame. And this is coming from some who has been a Jeep owner and liked the appearance of the Jeep.
I think the problem is the local HS parking lot has WAY too many and there hasnt been a serious alternative, certainly not one as attractive as the Bronco. And I've never considered my previous MB Gwagon or RR's in the same category.

Yea, after reading it my previous post was a little on the lame side and a bit too harsh  It needed a little more clarity and less criticism and you quoted it before I finished editing it.

I like it! 2" factory lift and 37x12.50x17 with bead locks. Dude in the driver seat is 5' 10", Bronco looks huge compared to him. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/07/full-4932-240529-2021_bronco_2_inch_lift_kit_37_inch_tires.jpg) He is NOT 5'10". Maybe at one time in his youth, but not now lol. He looks like a kid in a child seat and the steering wheel is bigger than his chest.

Where I am at lifted bro’ed out Jeeps are a dime a dozen so it’ll be nice to see some of these broncos out and about. I think the bronco is a winner however wish Toyota would bring back the FJ cruiser.

I was a ricer in my early years. I bet you have waited in line to see The Fast and furious haven't you? Yes Sir, even Tokyo Drift FNF.

Well maybe you can go over the Bronco forum and let the guy that is in the picture know he isn't 5' 10". https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...kit-37-tires-doors-and-top-removed.1866/
