I don’t know, a lot of insanely powered gasoline cars, like the Hoonicorn, don’t sound “good”. They sound powerful and equally manic, but that’s just what we’ve grown accustomed to expecting out of a powerful vehicle.

A military grade speaker? I’m gonna say that’s a no.

This is on the soft-roader Bronco Sport, not the hardcore off-road Bronco. It’s more Jeep Compass than Jeep Wrangler.

Tom, this is dangerously close to clickbait. Yeah, if you go for a stupid term interest rate climbs to stupid levels too, just like it does with pretty much every manufacturer and lender I’ve ever seen. In other news, sky is blue, water is wet.

Um, you’ve never driven a full-size van before, have you.  The NV is impossible to to park and so very long, yet it has no cargo space behind the last row in passenger form.  Really a stupid decision.

Sounds like a good way to sell like 10 or 20 vans to a few “outdoor influencers” at the cost of millions in development.

I live and breathe camper vans, and have a van life consultancy side hustle. Given your specific requirements (the key one is that you’ll be full-timing and probably boondocking quite a bit) here is an exhaustive (as far as my brain goes) list of rational options to consider. While the suggestions above are…

Likely clickbait... wonder if he got a lawyer letter and was like “Oh, I can probably blow up by saying that BIG EVIL COMPANY STOLE MY CAR [sad look thumbnail image].”
