I complained about the new Ranger, modified EDGE, so I guess I need to say something about the new Bronco.
First off, I do like it !
Is it what I thought would be coming out, no !
Is it what Ford had to make to make money, probably !
Is it too expensive, yes, without a doubt in my mind... YES !
The looks are decent.
The off-road capabilities, yet to be determined, but for standard trail running it looks like it will do; that's not burying the Jeep but it is all I really do now-a-days !
Will I buy one, probably not, too expensive and if I hit the lottery, I will be buying an F-250 Loaded with ever option I can find for it. (Need a good truck to pull the two trailers, RV and Vehicle). (Right now my paid for '03 Ranger EDGE is just fine) !
Ford, give me a deposit now and I will give you a hamburger tomorrow, I mean I will give you a vehicle tomorrow... why... they have had 10 yers of promises about the Bronco, this vehicle should be one of the best out there and should have been ready to sell when they released the Pre-Pay Mode.
Good Luck to anyone buying one, it looks like it could be a great vehicle, at least I'm hoping.

After watching Eddie Money's post, did I say it cost too much... $100K, almost, for a Bronco that may have enough power to compete against one of the newer Hemi !?!??!?!!?!
Both having enough HP and Torque to burn off all four tires at once !
Why would you pay $48K for a higher optioned New Bronco, then add another $45K for a motor and trans transplant ?
Must be great having money to burn !
I'm a fan of old mopars. Having owned a few I'm well aware they are stupid expensive and not well built. A properly built and tuned twin turbo coyote will eat chevys and crap chryslers.
Chevy LS engines are probably the most affordable bang for buck power plants... if only Chevrolet made anything that looked cool. I'm referring to trucks not cameros and corvettes, or cadillacs. I see lots of LS swapped rangers because the S10s arent near as cool looking as rangers....
