Judging from the pictures, the Wrangler definitely has more ground clearance, and I'm guessing it has better approach and departure angles. But the longer wheelbase may give it slightly lower break over than the Bronco Sport. Still, as you point out, these are vehicles with similar, though...
Are you starting to get the feeling - like a few folks here - that Ford's Product Marketing team started throwing darts at a board when it came up with the standard specs and list of options?
I’m still surprised that the vehicle doesn’t come with HomeLink to open the garage door. It’s been a feature on every vehicle I’ve owned for 20 years. What a weird list of features to thrift out.
I haven't driven a Cadillac with Super Cruise, but I've driven a Tesla Model Y as recently as September. What amazes me about the Tesla setup is how aware the system is of the entire space around the car for hundreds of feet in all directions. That includes cars ahead of cars immediately ahead...
You may be waiting a while even if you order now. I didn't order my BS BL until about two weeks ago. My order number is in the 400k range, and the first orders in sequence were (I think) in the 100k range. Even if Ford is working 3 shifts, that many vehicles will take a long time to ship to...
Great to see you on here! Aren't you on the Mach E Forum as well?
Anyway, I had ordered a MME but when the Ford Options monthly cost was almost as much as a house payment, I canceled the order and went with the Bronco Sport (which was my very close second choice). I'm just as excited about...
<sigh>
As someone who *does* know the math, and who *does* understand the science involved, global warming is a real thing - but it is very emphatically not a "belief system." Data does not give two sh*ts whether you "believe" it or not. Data can be manipulated - and climate data certainly is...
I was referring to your tone in your previous comment that strongly hinted at wanting to "enlighten me" as to how these decisions are made. I know how they're made and you don't have to pull out the figurative Crayolas, nor Cheerios for that matter.
As for the actual decision, of course it was...
I don't recall being asked whether I would want a power lift gate. If I had been, my answer would have been an emphatic "yes."
And, by the way, spare me the hymnals about vehicle development, platform engineering, etc. I have spent the better part of 30 years in vehicle engineering and supply...
I would be more inclined to agree with you on this point if it wasn't for the fact that my wife's 2020 Escape has a powered lift gate. I know that cost is an issue, but considering the purchasing volumes involved, and the fact that the Bronco Sport and Escape are on the same platform, including...
