My dealer reached out to prospective Bronco buyers months ago to fill allocations of "First Edition package" Bronco's. Reservations are not transferable but you can back out & let the next in line take your spot. $$$$$
The 6.4 /392 is probably what will end up being used. It will read good in the press releases & the engineers will just apply maximum torque management to keep the rest of the Jeep alive. Should be easy to keep it around the diesel torque numbers.
And don't forget Ford's 7.3 V8 gas engine that is physically smaller than the 5.0 and could be packaged into just about anything. My pick for Jeep would be the 5.7 Hemi and see no reason why it can not be a small cost upgrade on a Max tow or Oveland Gladiator. I like the lightweight V6 in the...
A V8 Wrangler / Gladiator is hypothetical correct? What is... Unless the Jeep brand is bought out I don't see it ever having the engineering to be best in the V8 truck or SUV market. Nothing in the FCA parts bin is exciting or cutting edge.
I've owned both. The 5.0 is a turd in the truck IMO. Great mustang engine but weak in the truck. Now for a truck engine I love the 7.3 gas engine in my f-350. I would love to see that in the F-150 also.
I have named my Gladiator LemonAid. After getting stuck with a "lemon" 2019 Dodge Challenger 1320 my dealer offered "aid" by trading my Gladiator for it. Only time will tell if it will be sour or sweet.
The $100 deposit is sent to Ford & applied / used at a dealer of your choice. Base list prices for each model are available & you can still negotiate a below invoice price or apply various plans. X plan for example. I was told first editions could arrive by December & ordered units next spring...
I love the idea of V8 Gladiator but have no faith FCA will engineer it properly. The engineers seem to have a hard time getting the 3.6 to run on all 6 cylinders, the 8.4" radio from going black screen & steering that doesn't feel like your in a covered wagon. Maybe start with the basics before...
