Two door competition coming (Bronco)

[Starrs]

Ford doing more two door testing?

Way old. The actual 2 door bronco raptor has been spied driving around and will be unveiled in a couple months hopefully.

Originally Ford promised this as a solid front axle- I was pretty excited about it then.

Looks Blazerish I like it though. The wheels have to go.

I won't be opposed to the IFS on a vehicle that sees minimal off-road, and mostly hwy driving. The downfall of the new FJ40 is that lack of convertible top but few of the guys at work that own them love the way they drive.

What new FJ40???

Eh, the Bronco is so large that it doesn't seem to make as much of a difference in a 2 door version as the Wrangler does.

I'm withholding my final judgement until I see the thing unveiled, but it just seems to be so bulky that it reminds me more of a full sized SUV than something more nimble like a Wrangler. Either way, it'll be good to bring some competition into the market.

It is based on a Ranger platform

figured as much, but I also didn't realize there was a new FJC. Man that thing was an abomination IMO, and I have even been known as a Toyota guy!

This article just flipped me from pessimist to optimist. . . .

Optimistic as well, but I would definitely wait a couple of years for the bugs to be worked out. For me, IFS is not an issue because I never lift my vehicles more than a couple of inches.

And reading this article heightens my optimism to a level where there are only two outcomes: take my money or extreme disappointment.

In 3 years time, shut up and take my money.

WTF is going on at Michigan Truck Plant this week?
