Exactly makes absolutely no sense to develop a transmission specifically for the Bronco, but then only make it available with the small engine and small tires.

4 cylinders sound lame.  Ask Porsche about the 4 cylinder Cayman/Boxster.  

Yes, this is confusing. Does the Sasquatch package have the same suspension on every trim level? If so, what’s the point of the Wildtrak?  Seems like a Black Diamond plus the Sasquatch package is the way to go.  

4 cyl does not sound as good.  Ford needs to give me reasons to switch, not excuses.  What’s your excuse for not having a 2 door soft top?

Bummer, I was pretty excited for this. But of course Ford can’t do it right. I want a 2 door 6 cylinder stick shift soft top. Guess I’ll have to keep my Jeep.

Huh, I’ve driven manual Wranglers off road for 17 years.  Glad after all this time someone on the internet could tell me that’s bad.  

Getrag

I use 4 hi. If I run into a dry spot, I can either shift into 2wd (if going less than 55 mph) or leave it in 4 hi. There are no tight turns on the interstate, so binding isn’t a problem.

I’m surprised it seems to be designed so far towards rock crawling.  Given the IFS I was expecting this to be more towards desert running.  I was thinking rear locker, front limited slip.  

I’m sure it’ll have 4 low.  Question is at what ratio?  Jeep uses 2.72:1 most of the time, but Rubis get 4:1.  I wonder if this is Fords way of only using one T-case ratio across the range?  

Partial truth. While I would be happy to have full time 4WD on my JKU, it’s not necessary. Older Jeeps like the TJ have such a short wheelbase, you really never get any binding as long as there is any sort of slip. With the JKU it’s pretty simple, most of the time 2WD, other wise if it’s snowy, 4 hi. I only need to…

If they did that lots of people would simply buy a Camaro or Challenger instead.  

Also, a fold flat passenger seat is nice to fit long items. When a SUV/Crossover has that, I know they actually meant for it to be used for work, and not just soccer practice.

Guess you’ve never driven an older 4Runner before they had the lift gate.  

No stick shift in non-M cars and it’s ugly...yikes. I’ll stick with older cars.

People belong on sidewalks, cars belong on the street.  Driving on the sidewalk to hit people is very bad.  People on the streets to block traffic is also very bad.  

Very surprising that the JL rolls, but not the JK.  Also, surprising that hasn’t been mentioned yet in the comments.  

I would say I’m disappointed, as I had wanted to do this eventually. However, when BMW stopped offering a manual transmission in the normal 3/4 series my chances of buying a new BMW pretty much dropped to zero. A little while ago a 440i with a stick and European delivery was a dream.

Huh, I never noticed that, but you’re right

Here’s the problem - the new company won’t be and it’ll be run by the same losers who made the previous company go bankrupt.
