This will be biased, asking this of a forum such as this, but if we were to compare the B2 to the modern mini SUV. ( CRV, Escape/Tribute, RAV4, Forester,whatever the hell KIA makes...) How would our stalwart soldier hold his own.
The modern examples would have a "nicer" ride.
the 4wd escape gets 25 mpg freeway, the v6 gets 20mpg based off the new EPA numbers. A 4 cylinder in a bronco should match or even exceed the Escape in the example for economy.
The B2 seems to be a sturdier 4wd comared to it's modern brethern. But I am new to 4wd (coming over from a sports car discipline) and I could be misinterpreting things.
OPINION WARNING: It looks like a damned truck. Like it would not crumple when a shopping cart hits it, or a branch tries to steal your paint.
Any one else, positive or negative. I'll even take a "Bronco II's are a girls ride and you need a man's Jeep"
