I concur.
Yeah ,that 4.0l straight six was tuff as shit
Calm down Karen. General Motors. I had a Tahoe and a Suburban before my Escalade. Those SUV’s can easily hit 200k miles with just routine maintenance,
Lol my man with the mom wagon . They really are nice . My wife drives a little Lexus crossover thing she loves it but damn is it small but that’s the size cars that she feels comfortable driving . I am 6’1 and damn near in the back seat . I’m sure the little bronco is the same way .I hate to say it, but after some test driving the bronco wasn't for me. The smaller models were literally too small and everything fit weird. The armrests were super low, I was ducking too look out the windshield, etc, etc. When I sat in the larger models, the windshield felt ridiculously tiny. Literally worse than the small models. Felt smaller than the old jeeps. Oh, and the 1.5L they have in some is a gutless wonder. You literally have to mash the gas pedal all the way to the floor. It does pick up at that point, but everything felt slow and delayed in it.
After some prodding from the wife and the salesman, I sat in the Explorer. I really, really, really hated to admit it...but it fit great. Lots of room and super comfortable. Smooth ride and plenty of pep. They only had the ST Lines on the lot, so they didn't have the full blown ST model. But they are going to have to bring in what we want anyway, so they're trying to get both and we're gonna let fate decide what we end up with. Or maybe flip a quarter if they manage to get both. I'm sure given the price tag, they'll do their best to get the ST in.
I got you.

This Lightning is bad ass ! My bro has one (2022 Lightning ) and they kick ass ! I am waiting on another electric car that’s not Tesla but I’m not sure if I’ll actually keep it ..but I might if it’s cool as shit ! 2026 is probably when you’ll see a large influx of e-vehicles from what I’ve been seeing . Seems like LG Sciences and StoreDot are leading the pack with battery tech, helping GM make their own battery as well as Volvo/Harley Davidson , Sony/Gm collab, even BP invested (of course Tesla is the target) but, I love the torque on these things . Just trips everyone out when I hit the pedal and they can’t Believe how fast they are . I have an e-kick scooter that goes 70mph now ! Sick !

Any update? How do you like it?
Still like it? I'm close to trading in my Jeep SRT milage wise.
had a 1980 jeep cj7 with straight 6, I took the thing deep in the Arizona desert, broke an engine mount the engine swung left and fan cut the radiator. I had some cargo straps and made a web to cradle the engine and used another strap around the transmission to pull the engine straight again, then drove it out to the side of the road. I figured there was no way a tow truck would get to where I was so I had to get it as close to the road as possible. after 30 minutes I got to the road I figured well this engine is probably toast but its still running so I continued to drive it home another 20 minutes. Replaced the radiator and changed oil and that thing kept running like nothing happened. great motor!
I get 15 MPG with 475 HP but the engine switches to 4 cylinders when you are just coasting.
Broncos are having problems with cylinderhead valve breakage..not a good thing
I'm not sure if they have or not
Yeah...they may have gotten the bugs worked out by now. It's always good to get the later models
I have worked on so many of these in the past few weeks… mainly because people are just crashing their cars with the weather getting nicer over here. Bronco is definitely a badass truck, especially the ones that come lifted with the bigger tires. We even got a Bronco Raptor in a few days ago and boy I’ll tell ya I fell in love. Fucker is expensive though, but I say it’s worth it. They drive nice and you can take the roof off of that bad boy on a nice sunny day, or dominate the snow in the winter time. Im only a fan of ford when it comes to their higher end vehicles like the Raptor trucks and Mustangs but the Bronco has my vote.
