I’m still on the original in my 2013 with 130k. No visible crack.

These 2 trucks are essentially the same vehicle. If it were me I’d go for less rust and better service history. That said look at the number of posts complaining about no apple play…. For some people they do nit pick the little things (like the differences you mention) and are huge issues, for...

That is up to you to decide and how important it is to save $17,000. In general, I would think the one with the best recorded service history that is also the cleanest is the one to get.

I probably wouldn’t daily drive one, but my LX also isn’t my daily driver.

I know this isn’t happening. But in theory if I could buy a new 70 I’d trade my LX in a heartbeat. I only use my LX for towing and off roading, a new 70 would handle that duty well.

Im in Alaska and my buddy owns a tire shop. They are the #1 all season he sells. I run winter tires here but when I was in NE Tennessee I ran them on my Audi and they did good enough in the snow, but it wouldn’t have made sense to run winter tires there.

Well said. If this were the case I would own a grenadier.

For the group I off-road with five years ago, every single one was a Wrangler except for me and my 200 one guy with an 80, one Tacoma. Out of 30 or so I know. I went out the weekend before last and now I’m more than half are in Broncos. It’s so rare for us to go out offloading and someone has a...

Thank you. For the bronco the only similar competitor is a Jeep…. Ford would have to let things go pretty for down hill to sink to that level of quality. Now if Toyota would bring back the FJ…

My son has a 2025 bronco 4 door (with the 4 cly), only had it a year but it is pretty awesome and just a flat out beast off road. Build quality on him seems pretty top-notch. Just yesterday.

I’m 12 years now with ceramic coating all My cars. I would never pay a shop to do it, especially on a used car. The biggest reason I like the ceramic is I rarely wash my cars. With the LX likely only 1-2 times a year at most, the ceramic helps things not stick and dirt to fall off. Back in the...

I have buddies with both of these raptors. Both agree other then straight line acceleration my ZR2 is better across the board then both. Better off road, better on road, better built. I briefly looked at the ranger raptor but was ~$20k more then my ZR2, so I didn’t even test drive one.

It is a nice rig but I’m in Alaska and the closest dealer is Seattle, was the deal breaker for me.

I almost got a Grenadier when we got the Colorado but I have major concerns about the long term reliability/availability of every component that isn’t made by BMW. Unless I lived very close to a dealer and planned on only using it near their dealer network, no way I’d want to rely on a...

I added a 2024 Colorado ZR2 two years ago. It has been rock solid for everything I’ve thrown at it, towing, camping, off road,…. For those that don’t need a 3rd row it is pretty awesome. When I got the Colorado I was fairly sure the new GX was going to be it. I looked the new GX, LC, LX, Taco...
