“Why not” indeed. But the article and some comments make it seem like a knock against Ford for not offering a hybrid out of the gate. I found it funny to list two “shortcomings” of the same vehicle as no hybrid/EV and no V8.

That’s true, but people buy “enthusiast” vehicles for subjective reasons.

Why are people assuming there is a need for a hybrid or EV Bronco? Sure, the industry is going that way, but is there actual demand indicated from potential Bronco or Jeep buyers?

Doesn’t US Border Patrol still use green (or at least green and white)?

Dodge Viper

I guarantee you that the suits at Chevy are proud of themselves for beating Ford to market with their legacy-named SUV.

I’m shocked if Torchinsky doesn’t have that article saved and ready to go.

It’s kinda strange they even spec’d this tire in the first place.

I had to Google it and I came away more confused than when I started.

I wouldn’t put it past him...

If you don’t have any bungee cords I don’t know what to tell you.

Maybe it’s V-twins only?

You seem to be forgetting the “bagger” part.

If Dodge won’t spring for a full refresh on this platform, it seems like offering a convertible would be a cheaper option for them to look like they’re updating things.

Kind of a bummer that the top dog First Edition has the least amount of color options, but apparently that didn’t deter 3,500 people.

I assume to direct branches over the roof rather than having them smack the windshield.

I’m torn. I give Ford two thumbs up for offering a manual, but a big frowny face for only offering it with the smaller engine.

They may call it the Blazer, but it’s not really a Blazer.

At least it’s a plan.

I didn’t realize that trans was still available in 89. Was it part of a special package for the Forest Service or fleets?
