What do you think Barf?

This is something Jeep lovers have talked about for some time. My biological father had a Jeep Comanche and that thing was cool. This seems a bit more versatile and could be a decent vehicle if they build it right. 5 foot bed is way better than what the jeeps have now so that’s a bonus. Not sure what different levels of they will have but people will probably still pour thousands of dollars into it (totally their choice) so not judging.

You know what Jeep stands for.... Just Emptied Every Pocket :)

Honestly, I kind of like it, though I would never buy another new Jeep product after my horrendous JK experience.

As long as it's built by FCA I'm uninterested. Not to mention it looks like it's fucking HUGE. I hate that the US as such a hard-on for big vehicles.

I turned wrenches for Jeep for 25 years....I want to love this thing but sadly, Jeep has changed since I've been away.
My guess is the power train will be fine and the rest of the truck will fall apart around it. Google Targa top complaints on the current models and you'll begin to get a feel.
Oh, and Jeep stands for....Just Expect Every Problem.
Like I said, I want to like it, love to be wrong on this one.

My buddy's differential pretty much imploded on him, on his 2015 Wrangler Hard Rock or whatever they call the expensive one. Thing had like 20k miles and had never been offroad before; not exactly a tough life. Way too premature for such a critical failure.

From what I've seen so far, mechanically, the new Bronco is probably going to be far more similar to the Jeep renegade than anything else.

I'm torn on the new JT. One thing that's pretty appealing to me is the towing capacity. When I was looking to replace my Hemi Grand Cherokee awhile ago, I quickly found it that the towing ability on all these mid-sized trucks is pathetic. This new gladiator has a capacity about 1000 lbs higher than everything else in the range. (And crazy enough, still ONLY 200 lbs more than my Grand)

The Bronco looks good. Trust me on this folks. Probably will be publicly unveiled in January along with thebShelby GT500 Mustang.
