Oh I agree completely! The 3.6 Pentastar in my Jeep is more than enough to idle me up about any obstacle out there in 4lo. That predictable NA powerband is great for applying throttle at barely non-zero speeds and I don’t think I’d want a turbo in that application. In fact, when the 3.6 gives out (or I get bored…

This is dead on. My brother had a ‘16ish F150 with the Coyote and I’ve had both the 3.5 and 2.7 ecoboosts in a ‘15 and ‘18 F150 respectively. The 2.7 is livable while returning a real world 21mpg. The 3.5 was buckets of fun, with additional buckets of fun from a 5 minute premium gas tune, while still giving me up to…

They’re gonna have to arrest my kid..

That’s fair. I drive a lot but I don’t do a lot of real long haul stuff. I could see it being helpful for a tedious highway trip.

I don’t see the appeal of this autonomy. First of all, I think I’d be incredibly uncomfortable trusting Autopilot to drive me down the road, perhaps because I’m a generally attentive driver and I feel responsible for myself, my passengers, and those around me while hurtling down the road in a missile. Secondly, I keep…

As someone who owns one and would happily own both... Ford’s mirrors-stay-on-the-vehicle is the right answer. For all the reasons listed. I think Jeep made a HUGE mistake there with the JL. 

This guy has a grenade on his shelves. And an RC heli canopy. And the rest of the heli up to the right. And a longboard leaning on the wall behind him. That’s pretty cool

As a person with a fleet of RC vehicles, this is a familiar sound. Hearing it in the context of a full size performance vehicle makes me giggle. It’s been a long time now that nitro RC cars gave up the mainstream to electrics which are better in.. every way except the smell. They are unholy fast and I can’t wait till…

There were 3 more tires inside ;)

I love the consistent knee-jerk reaction to everything offroad of “oH ThAt’Ll LoOk GrEaT paRkEd aT tHe MalL”. Some people use the stuff. I have TWO racks for my JK (gasp!), one for the hard top and one for no top. I use them when I need to fit extra stuff or if I’m carrying things I don’t want in the Jeep. We’re all…

I don’t get that. It rides fine. Its on a long arm setup with 37s and I could drive it all day long. I also have a ‘15 GTI, a ‘20 F350 and a ‘20 Miata that I drive regularly and I still can’t say the Jeep has a lousy ride. It’s a delight to drive. I’m sure the Bronco will have a “nicer ride” with the IFS but it’s…

It just seems right. It’s not like I’m squeezed in or bumping my knees on the dash. I think I generally like to sit close anyway, just as a personal preference.

Wow, I’m sorry! Color me corrected! It was more about the feature combo than the price? And it’s all in good fun anyway, they are both awesome.

Neat. I’d pay 40k today ;)

LOL I’m short leave me alone!! I have to reach the pedals!

Maybe the JL. Maybe it’s been 8 years. I bought this in 2012 for 35,500

Wait so we want locking axles paired with a manual? In a two-door with a removable roof and doors? For 36k? Gosh, if only huh..

I also much prefer the clutch off road compared to a torque converter. I can feel exactly what’s happening when I’m engaging the clutch in the gear I’ve selected whereas with the auto you just kinda push the gas and wait for something to happen. Especially with the super low crawl ratios, stalling really isn’t a…

What is this, like public Jalopnik? Looks like fun!

Not a Bronco but same idea. I’ve never been a fan of practicality
