New Bronco - TOAD?

[Bob Denman]

... and my last 3 street bikes all had engines larger than the 900cc triple that's under the rear deck of my current daily driver...
But since it averages between 50, and 55 mpg: it's a keeper!

We have been enjoying the Bronco. Highway driving is stable.
Bronco has zero twitch and tracks straight down the road.
Hard top has a little noise at highway speed.
The 2.7 motor is perfect. LOTS of torque and we are seeing 18-19 mpg.
2 door is just OK for getting into backseat, it is large enough for an occasional passenger especially if not very large. Not OK for everyday family trips.

Someone asked about the grab handles on the front of hood.
That is so you can take your mechanic with you.

The height with the Sasquatch package is pretty tall. With the Black Diamond we have rock rails and find it will be a while before steps are available that can be used with the rails. If we remove the rails, various steps are available right now.
The height, without steps, would keep my 6ft 2" self from wanting to use as an everyday vehicle.

It looks GREAT!!

Yes they do look great.

I say this publically acknowledging I had nothing to do with any part of the design. I'm just the sucker who was advertised to successfully.

You take your wins, and run with them!

I won’t get a four cylinder engine, much less 3.

Nice looking vehicle. Hope they add a real engine option.

Since this post I got a new motorcycle. It has three cylinders. (Can-am Spyder)

Maybe the handles are for guests when you cross the river?

That looks like the Fremont river in Capitol Reef…which my Cherokee waded successfully a couple weeks ago.

Unfortunately the Spyder only gets 33 mpg.

I asked what the handles were for, the dealer said, attachment points.

A guest I was attached to could ride up there..

2021 RTS. Awesome machine!

I was getting where I am unable to right the Harley by myself when it decides to lay over. It did that from time to time at near zero speed. Plus having reverse is awesomer!

A side benefit is that the running boards make getting on and off easier.

Of course my sons, both Harley drivers, are giving it dirty looks. Not sure they’ll let me ride with them. I point out to them this contraption puts out 120 HP and their Harleys only 80 something.

Is there enough room in the back of the Bronco for two 100 lb. dogs?

They ARE beauties!
(I had a 2010 RT A&C, a 2014 RT-L, and a 2018 RT-L 10th anniversary edition...)
Did a couple of trips out to Missouri for SpyderFest, and had a ball
with them!

You should have room for 2dogs.

Both 4 door and 2 door have nearly identical rear seat room measurements.
Dogs would get into a 4 door easier..

The space behind the 2 door rear seat is about 22 inches front to back.
Lay down the rear seats or remove them and you have 4 ft front to back.
