But yet, Jeep can't offer a turbo'd V6 with comparable power, or a V8 for the Gladiators, and 315/70r17 tires for the Rubicon? NOPE! Just a detuned minivan motor, and 32.8" pizza-cutter skinny tires. Just sad that the most capable factory offroad vehicle in America is relegated by a bunch of bean counters...

My first thought when I saw the Bronco was that it looked a lot like the FJ Cruiser

The Hamburger one that carries the factory warranty looks interesting. It is a way for them to keep MSRP lower and a somewhat cheap way to add a significant power boost to the existing engine. The reviews have been mostly positive and it does appear to add significant boost.
