If you don't care about exceeding official capacity, you can tow quite a bit

The think I hate about this vehicle is that I could actually imagine myself owning and driving one. But imagine  is a big word.

Honestly looks to be the perfect tow rig to drag around  my Miata on a little aluminum tandem axle trailer. Black Diamond looks like the perfect trim, but I’d be happy with a base too. 2.3 ecoboost w/ 7-speed.

I’d want the Base Model but with the subdued steelies and absolutely no chubbier of tires than are shown in the above picture.

What I like is that you can pour used fry oil directly into the tank and it creates Biodiesel on the fly.

I’d want a base model with the subdued steelies. My tent trailer has a GVW of about 2,400 lbs, iirc. So I’d be good. What bugs me about this car is that I might actually like to have one.

Well, the turn signals work now. Mostly. I've got the 3.55 posi rear end sitting in the drivewAy but coronavirus has rearranged my priorities.

I am a BIG fan of the steelie looking Alloys on the Sport.

Kinja'd!!!

Also I think the Sport should be called the Little Brother.

Bronco Little Brother is both more endearing and more accurate than Bronco Sport.

The 10-speed tows fine in the F-150.

I too like the BS the more I look at it. Although they’re technically not “steelies”, they’re aluminum

Generally, almost across the board, I don’t find myself liking new cars. Which is to say, the new offerings. But the new  bronco I like. I'll never be able to afford one though.

I’d say BECAUSE of the Rona you should finish working on that car and rip some meaty burnouts soon. When you drop that 3.55 Posi in, make sure you have a Ford dealer update your ECM to reflect that so your speedo is accurate.

ECM: I've got a guy. Rona's got me busy with other things and my daughter is about to birth spasm. Crappy Vic is working its way up the priority list. I want a front brake lockout as well.

That’ll be interesting, too. But consider it carefully. Messing with the electronics too much can be a problem.
