The "Bronco" Sport is basically a Ford Escape.

Nevermind... This is a fake Bronco... LOL

I've seen the Sport on the road and it looks pretty wimpy.

Auto journalists have thought they’ve been pretty good for what they are. Glorified escapes. Nice to see something other than the typical jelly bean CUV shape.

Some of the window shapes on the back remind me of the original freelanders

Hopefully that's the only similarity.

Well if I can pick one up in 10 years for $500 I guess we'll know

Is the Freelander the least reliable vehicle from the last twenty plus years?

What else is in its league?

I lived down the street from LR Alexandria back in that era. Seemed at the time there were always Freelanders coming in on rollbacks.

My co-worker had a Freelander, said it was a blast to drive, when it ran. He didn't have it for long.

They are extremely popular in Australia and are building a fan base here. They are quick to set up and take down, very durable and imho, good for when solo camping or doing a multi-day trip. You can roll the whole thing up, sleeping pad, bag and all, and throw it in your truck. They are warm in winter because of the low volume to heat up. They are bulky and hefty tho too. They take up a fair bit of space, depending on which size you go with.

Be aware, the poles are not tequila infused Mitch proof!

Tagging the local vendors involved with the club—let me know if I forgot anyone. @OTRAMM @BullRunOverland @ToyotaMatt

No idea what to expect so it may not be worthwhile. They are not Cruiser or Toyota specific.

And the guy who wrote that jingle? DC's own (and longtime E-Street Band member) Nils Lofgren.

No sheet? I wonder how I missed that knowledge bomb!

I worked with him once many years ago. It’s probably good that I wasn’t aware he wrote it!

That damn song has been an earworm of mine for close to 40 ****ing years. It’s very likely the winner of the “annoy John from inside his own head” duration award.
