Also, I forgot. Apparently, you did too.

Yes. I almost brought this up earlier. They were the only one that didnāt take assistance after the crash in 08. They should have taken the assistance. Not doing so probably resulted in the cost-cutting and corner-cutting that gave us the modern Ford products.
Look Jamie, I get it, youāre invested and a fanboy. No problem. You donāt have to āmake me understandā anything. Iāve owned a lot of cars in my life, and many brands, including 5 Toyotas with a combined 445,000 miles that never had anything but routine maintenance. And? Iām also in a profession...
Your experience is yours. Mine is mine. One question though. Where in the world do you get the jealousy remark you keep making from? What would I have to be jealous of? Jealousy implies that I would have feelings of envy over something I canāt get. Thereās a First Edition Bronco, used, right now...
Notice I said F350, and Focus RS. So, that would be two lemons. The F350 had over 10 active recalls when we traded it. It spent more down time than running in a year and a half. The Focus RS had multiple problems as well, including a head gasket that had to be replaced more than once, and an oil...
No jealousy at all here. I wanted to love the Bronco. I followed all the news since the original concept came out years ago, fully intending to buy one if they made it. You couldnāt give me one now though, unless I could flip it. If you follow their forum, which I have fairly extensively, the...
Iād have to disagree. We bought a brand new F350 a few years back. Nothing but problems one behind the other. Had a Focus RS bought new as well. Nightmare that was never fixed. We got rid of both for a Gladiator and a JLR, respectively. Ford quality has nosedived in the past 20 years or so imo...
If it had looked like that, Iād have bought it in a heartbeat. But I love the way my Mojave looks as is too.
I MUCH prefer the Gladiator name over any other historical Jeep reference they could have used. Such a badass name for our trucks, imo.
Thanks Ron! I sold two other vehicles, a 2017 BRZ and a 2010 FJ, took advantage of the crazy used car values these days, to get into this thing. Glad I did! Itās a lot of fun! Iāve wanted a Challenger since they came out. Figured Iād better go ahead or miss the boat altogether.
