i think it will be ok. its the price point of the jeep that will matter most.Right off the bat is a Jeep so it will be unreliable and expensive.
Wheelbase is an 1" shorter than my standard cab shortbox F-150, not really much shorter than a new F-150.
People wanting a reliable or cheaper truck are out of luck just like the guys wanting a truck for trails.
i hope the bronco is solid for reliability...these systems are well run r.o.w...
i rode on the plane with the guy in charge of this a few times coming back from out west....he is a wheeler just like me or maybe more so...and he rides dirt bikes just like me. not as diy mechanical because obviously he dont have time for dumb shit...
so 12 or 15 years that i know of he has wanted this to happen....just wish it happened 2 years ago or three years from now....or ford just would have brought the t6 in and called it a f100 in 2012....or kept calling it a ranger or whatever.
with a diesel handshaker. then making a bad ass bronco by now would have been cake.
