4runner vs the new Ford bronco

Gotcha. I misunderstood your post. Those V8 4runners were nice!

I just meant to point out that the EB V6 actually has (a lot) more torque than the old 4.7 V8's did, so there's no need for a V8 option in this new Bronco.

 

Dont fret though. There will be an SVT version in a couple years time, maybe we will get lucky and it will have a v8.

 

Or better yet, a turbo 6!

 

what about a TWIN turbo V6. That's easily tunable.

 

See he gets it.

 

Or better yet, a Tesla motor and battery pack (I'm running for cover now.... )

 

For sure. T4R will have better reliability, less depreciation and maintenance costs

 

what are you? French?!

 

PS, I'm not the one from Nor Cal (aka "the Socialist Republic of California")

 

Okay, been watching up on the Bronco.
1. 3,500# tow capacity...?
2. No rear window roll down...?
3. Can this IFS support a snowplow?
All practical questions (I know I just want a roll down back window).
A bit more towing and it is a real workhorse again (no pun intended).
I want a 2 door! I would need to drive one but to add to the wife's T4R...
Is that bad?

 

well thats ok I dont get out much except to the mountains...or the ocean, or lakes, or rivers, or redwood forests.

 

3500 tow is same as Jeep (more in some cases)
No rear window roll down same as Jeep

Just from the rear design, you can tell they are targeting Jeep owners. Tough to compare against 4Runner since it's a different class.

 

I still can't get over those fender flares. Total fail, IMO.

Why didn't they just make the body wider?

 

Agreed.

 

Now, if you can take those fenders off and run a tall skinny, that wouldn’t be bad.

 

285/75/17 would be boss...

 

So true, its disgusting what the heck was the designing team thinking yikes

 

So mall crawlers won't get door dings and the off roaders won't need to worry about trail rash as much??

 

If it hasn’t been said already, Sasquatch upgrades are legit, that’s what’s the TRD Pro should have been.

 

Its a joint venture between Toyota and Jeep

 

Ya I missed that earlier in the thread, thanks for pointing it out

 

See, if they had only gone with the fender flares in this picture, it would have looked 1000% better.

 

No I was just pushing back, no thought of you being a jerk. thanks for the welcome!

 

So honestly people , is the 2021 ford bronco the proffered suv for off roading , driving to work , and the weekend warrior /soccer and Hockey mom driving ? ..or is it soon to reply to all these questions

 

Of course it’s to early to tell. You can’t even buy and the quality and reliability are totally unknown.

 

Haha, there will always be a few ICE vehicles. Mostly antiques 20 years from now, hopefully, for the long term benefit of us all.
In the mean time the Bronco could steal a lot of market share from Jeep and Toyota. They did a lot of research and it shows. I bet the LR Defender guys are eating their hearts out right now. Why couldn’t have LR done that? Haha.
A lot of families drive 4 door wranglers, and I’m sure a lot of families will be considering 4 door Broncos.
