I’m guessing these pictures are from the FX4 trim. Given the diff locks and huge tires. But wouldn’t it be great if you could have some of this a la carte on any trim? ie: skip the sway bar disconnect and get the locking diffs.

Leaks have suggested a 2.3 EB 4-pot as the base engine and 2.7 EB V6 as the upper option. The question is whether the manual is available on both or not. 

Bench-marking the Wranger: The Sport can be had (ordered, dealers won’t stock this) without the optional(!) A/C for under $30k with the 6-speed stick, 3.6. You can even option the rear LSD under $30k.

There are a bunch of reasons why. Most is just timing. Also, I’ll be using it as a semi-DD, where the minimum commute is 25 miles each way of twisty 55mph(+) rural highway... And I don’t want to die (again, an exception would be made for a Jimny).

I’m gonna keep putting this out into the universe, just in case that hokey stuff is real.

Initially, no, yes, absolutely, optional

The current Himalayan is a bit of a cult favorite in the ADV world.  The biggest knock is power. A 750 twin should be very popular.

The one big option missing is a manual (I know: ‘that guy’ comment). However, I’m really looking forward to the Bronco. I am still holding out hope for a stripper 4x4 model like this Ranger, but with a manual, that comes in close to $30k.

..the Dodge Challenger, which is just begging for retirement at this point

Shareholders demand action. I Struggle to empathize much with either side of this equation. I’m sure Mr. Palmer will receive a nice fat exit payment. It’s probably a bitter pill, but he’ll be fine.

I’ve looked at Frontiers now and then when I got the itch for a truck.

Tom’s last car buying questions article was the first one.

What is this listicle BS?

Painful reminder that I should not have sold my poor broken K5

It’s probably closer in price to the Porsche than new Bronco.

Wow, ok. Didn’t realize I was fostering totalitarianism. Can you point to some bias in this piece? The facts are presented without any opinion given that I can discern, but I’d welcome an example.

That’s a true concept. How does it apply in this article, though? 

4Low: It feels strange reading a Morning shift with an unbiased tone, no ‘New York is the only place in the world’ opinions, or union Shilling.
