This comparison is just about the easiest one I've ever made; Jeep is paid for and I'm not buying anything new that I don't absolutely need, especially a car while I still live in CA.
I was wondering that very thing when I posted my comment. However, it truly doesn't change my attitude about first-year models. If not the engine, then potentially something else. May not even be a mechanical issue, but electrical, or some sort of design flaw that could rear its ugly head. I would much rather have something that had proven to be sorted out through the passages of time and use.
As far as the 2.7 goes, I'm so far removed from the newer stuff that I had no idea the newer F150's had such a small displacement engine available. My, but how times have changed.

I'm sure they did damage it.It was meant to be crushed.
I’d rather see a full bodied one. But they damaged this one anyway.
I watched through it and the Bronco did quite well but then again Loren Healy is driving so he made everything look easy.I'm sure they did damage it.
Just because something CAN be done doesn't mean that it SHOULD be done.
For some reason people get a kick out of watching that dumb stuff.
I'd rather watch a well-built rig do it with grace, something like Apparition's build.
I wanna watch the video, but though they maybe great with driving/vehicles... they are shit with cameras... my god worst camera work I've seen in an off road video in a long time. the shake...."all we did was...completely gutted it."

But Dave is intimately knowledgeable of Pritchett. Seeing the Bronco go through without winching is worth the watch.I got to the 1-minute mark.
interesting. I’m all about learning to drive better. Watched.But Dave is intimately knowledgeable of Pritchett. Seeing the Bronco go through without winching is worth the watch.
I was impressed with his run up axle hill. He knew exactly what he was doing.interesting. I’m all about learning to drive better. Watched.
What I've watched showcases skill and familiarity with the trail more than capability of the vehicle... oh, and a willingness to remove all body panels and accept damageBut Dave is intimately knowledgeable of Pritchett. Seeing the Bronco go through without winching is worth the watch.
That's was pretty rad. I watched this one after:"all we did was...completely gutted it."
I can’t wait to do that trail. It’s right up my alley but I’ve never been on it. I grew up at Wolf Caves in Mason, TX. It’s the little Moab. It’s next to Katemcy Rocks. I prefer Wolf Caves. These are amazing places to wheel. I’m lost now that I’m in WA. Nothing like those places and I have to work weekly to push my limits where I can to keep my skill up and push limits with tire lift and risk factor. I don’t think it’s enough to keep poise under calm. We will see. Driver skill is my main goal in all my wheelin’.I was impressed with his run up axle hill. He knew exactly what he was doing.
While nothing in WA is quite like Moab/Pritchet, there are places in WA to push limits and skill... Naches/rim rock, Reiter, Elbe, Evans creek... just different stuff. Closest to Moab is probably Moonrock/funnyrock areas at Naches.I can’t wait to do that trail. It’s right up my alley but I’ve never been on it. I grew up at Wolf Caves in Mason, TX.

A lot of it is wheeling where you want to wheel or maybe learn to want to wheel where you wheel! Lauren drove those lines so well because he has driven those lines so many times before. While it's definitely a skill, theres a big part of that is learning THE line through THE obstacle you're on. There is super fun wheeling in WA, i know some people rank Naches above all else. They do have moonrocks that are moab-ish (maybe) but it's got a whole different kind of wheeling too, @Wildman could talk more. I like to find a line that gives me trouble and loop through it a few times if possible and find what works. Like drills for jeeping.I can’t wait to do that trail.
