2021 Easter Jeep Safari Brings 4 Rugged New Concepts to Moab
 
I've always been a sucker for Jeeps ever since I saw the first Jurassic Park movie. I was mostly fascinated by the Commando build Jeep restored, is a thing of beauty,

I would say they are very much alive in my state, is Jeep galore. But I agree, same formula for years, and the Bronco is looking very promising.

thats funny you mention about jurassic park - i wonder what form of media has shown a jeep to the most people. such as, jurassic park with the logo emblazoned on it made people fall in love with it.

when bronco diffs are overheating on the press junket, i'd beg to differ.

ford made the wrong cost cutting option on an 'offroad' vehicle.

The most off roading these things are going to see is shopping mall snow mountains. Let's be real.

yes, but the reason everyone wants a jeep, and ford went through the effort of re-making the bronco was specifically because of the inherent offroad capabilities of most jeeps. because the bronco is mechanically limited to never unseat the jeep wrangler from the literal top of the mountain, it can never be anything but a second-best. which is a pretty crappy place to be.

It's still likely to be a sales success amongst the masses.

This is the Bronco sport, a modified Escape. Competitor to Cherokee, not to wrangler

yes, but the more 'offroad' bronco is going to have the same type of driveline, just with beefed up cooling capacity-- definitely not enough for even a half day of wheeling.
