I'd like it a lot more if it had a solid axle on both ends.

That only matters if you're rock crawling with big tires. For the majority that will never see much more than a dirt road the IFS will be fine. Ford still has issues with death wobble in their solid axle Superdutys so why chance it on a new model driven by soccer moms?

Lots of soccer moms are rolling around fine in Wranglers. I understand that most folks don't venture off pavement much, but this is sort of a halo product for Ford and they had an opportunity to create something that would be a hit for enthusiasts but they mailed it in instead. Not surprising but still disappointing.

I get what you're saying, in order to truly compete with the Jeep it should have been a solid axle and the enthusiasts will discredit it for that. My guess is that most of the people that will drive one of these will not know the difference. It looks to me like Ford is setting this up to be more along the lines of the Raptor than a rock crawler with all of the teaser videos showing it bombing down a trail at speed rather than slower, tighter trails.

I do think the Bronco is a great looking vehicle, I used to have a 73 myself. Wonder if it can tow anything?
