JL buyers better thank Ford for this (35's from the factory)
- Thread starter Apparition
- Start date
I’m not sure why they picked such a stupid name for the package… Xtreme Recon! Really?
I like the new Bronco, and a little competition helps everyone. It looks like Ford gave Jeep a much needed kick in the ass.
We're finally seeing a V8 Wrangler, which is sick!

Really I want what Ford did with the Sasquatch package to be available on other vehicles. They made that package able to be fitted on almost the whole lineup.
OP
Let's be honest, they don't have a good track record for naming most things...
I mean I would be embarrassed to say I drove something called a Gladiator...regardless of my actual opinion of the vehicle
But with Ford busting out of the gate with things like 'Tremor', we can only expect so much from anyone in the industry, ha
OP
Both names were used on their vehicles many years ago. Xtreme should be on an Xterra.
Yea, I just wish they would've stayed dead...
But we have squatted rear ends & LED wrapped rims now so I guess it was time
OP
I love my Tremor it's a badass truck, I'm glad it came back. The Gladiator had more untapped potential they missed on.
I think the worst thing Ford has done when it comes to the Bronco was announcing too early. They've had so much time between announcement and release that they've given Jeep time to put stock 35s and a V8 in the Wrangler, and left a vacuum where people will lose interest before they get it into showrooms.
OP
Except they are selling everything they can make. Even the Bronco Sport (escape version) if you order now it's 2 years plus according to a dealer yesterday.
The interesting thing is I could buy a used TJ, pay someone to put a V8 in it, then pay MrBlaine to fix it up, and likely still spend $20,000 less then this new offering. I'd save even more if it was the 392 version.
And I think the TJ would be more offroad capable in the end.
I saw a used Gladiator listed at $62,000.

Geezzzz.... what are the odds haha
Don't get me wrong, I like the trucks, just not the name. Kinda the opposite with the Power Wagons, I'm ok with the name, but I can't stand the bedside graphics now
I think that's true of most new cars now. But that's due to manufacturing problems. We might have to go back to carbs soon.
OP
Judging by all the people commenting on how much they like it and taking pictures it seems to go over well. They had customers taking pictures of mine at the dealer the day I picked it up. It's a common occurrence in parking lots too.
OP
If you order an explorer right now it's 3-5 months so over two years has to be a demand issue.
markting department must be run by old people who still think its the 90's
