Have a 2008 silverado, 350000 miles with the original engine and tranny. Not a ford guy, but +1

Have an 04 here without a lick of rust and 230k.  Purrs like a kitten and pulls like a beast still.

I had my 05 diesel completely rebuilt with new wheel, larger injectors, better pump, and studs on the heads so I can Jack the hp and torque when I need it.

My next move will be a stage 3 clutch pack.

I prefer chevy/GMAC. I can load up and drive off road and not break my tailgate.

Damn, that Bronco looks great.
Love that old school flavor mixed in there!
Oh, no detachable roof, that sucks!

V8 powered I hope?
With a Mach1 shaker hood would be kickace..

Broncos always had detachable roofs.   At least those I remember.

I don't see a parting line for either a full or half detachable roof..

I always liked the early Bronco and Blazer, because of their FULL detachable roofs.. The early small Bronco with the 351W is a great Combo.. Almost as good as a CJ5 Renegade V8

Same here, my one Silverado (I have 2) is an 04 1500HD 4dr......240K miles with orig. engine and trans. Honestly never had a major component on that truck go. (I lie, had to replace brake lines)  That said im a maintenance potato with my vechs....to the point that my one buddy asks me when im taking it in to get the turn signal greased, as its probably overdue  lol.


I like that new Bronco......nice lines.

I drive a '13 Z71 approaching 80K miles. I've had to replace some sensor that kept kicking the check engine light on. That's it.

Those are not exactly easy highway miles either.

After build mine is just over 500 at the crank. Tick the tuner and I can get high enough to kill my Allison right now.

LOL the new Factory stock for 2017 is 445hp  910 torque

Mine is new but I am no less impressed with it.  It's a 2016 Lariat with the 3.5 Ecoboost.  Completely stock and makes plenty of power for me - I think its 360/420 HP/TQ.  But what is impressive is I was averaging 22 MPG and then I bought a boat:)  Still averaging 20 MPG hauling the boat when I get an itch to fish, and that is frequent when the weather is right.

Australians swear by Toyota. All of our tradies either use the Hilux or the Holden V-8 Ute. And I see a lot more of the former in an official capacity than the latter.

I'm really thinking hard on buying a '43 Ford with a 525hp V8 and 5-spd tranny which is supposed to be tricky to handle. It only gets 1-1/3 gallons to the mile though. It's also been said that you can start the thing with a screwdriver and no key, so that's another worry.
