2021 Bronco...

[Odin Gray]

Nice, but...

1. I swore that I would not buy another Ford product since my 1986 Bronco's paint slowly peeled off every time I accelerated past 65 mph. (I've had a 2012 F150 since and currently drive a F350 SD).

two. The big 3 auto manufacturers WILL figure out a way to screwup their own product. Call it "built in obsolescence" . There are way too many fancy electronics on this baby to take it past its warranty period.

iii. Not a fan of Ecoboost. Had one in the F150: horsepower out of a sewing machine motor is not everything. Bring in a diesel.

fore. Towing capacity is more a product of wheel base. Nothing you can do (legally) to tow more. Missing doors are fun but not necessarily legal in our province. Something about crash test standards as told to me by an RCMP officer when I had my TJ stripped down one summer.

I've been waiting a lot of years for a diesel Rubicon Unlimited: maybe this will give Jeep some incentive to innovate.

Hmm before the 65 Bronco 4 yrs earlier was the 1961 IH Scout. They made 28,000 and 75% were 2 wheel Drive and 25% 4x4. Below is my 61 Scout 80 4x4. I’m 2nd owner has 69,000 orig miles. Restored back in 93 By me but has only had 300 miles since then. It survived the marriage and divorce and will see the road again I hope. While you guys were out fishing I was at home restoring these IH Tractors with my 2 boys. Looking back we should have gone fishing .
Not sure I could bring myself to go for those new broncos;-)
