We have decided to order a Bronco, when you can order a Bronco, and then wait until we get what we want. Someday... :cool:

I can't fault that line of thinking at all. The next few years are going to be exciting in this market segment. The next gen Ranger is going to be a great truck, looks sharp, and the Raptor version will be very cool and capable.
I expect Toyota to have to respond strongly to the midsize truck competition they're facing after resting on their laurels for a long time (I had an '08 tacoma - outstanding truck - I traded it for a new '16 when the new ones came out and realized quickly I'd just taken on a payment to drive the same truck with a better radio and worse motor/trans...thankfully that was an easy trade to recoup costs on, but if I were smart i'd still be driving the '08 and it literally would still be worth today what I got for it in trade in late '15).
The new frontiers are pretty slick.
If GM updates the Colorado/Canyon soon they could really have a player, too. They had a good thing going on the ZR2s and especially the Bison.
The Gladiator is the odd duck out being half-Jeep but it offers a unique feature set. If they do shoehorn the Hurricane into it, that could be a cool option. A 392'd Mojave seems obvious at this point, but cha-ching...
I'm really liking mine so far, just crossed over 700 miles already. It's a lot of fun to drive, but I must caveat that with the bookends of A.) I kept my Outback as a DD, and B.) I grin like an idiot driving a Suzuki Samurai - so I'm both a hypocrite and a nutjob.
The Chrysler v6s have a significant problem with the oil filter housing/cooler design. Plan on replacing it.
Well, I did something dumb. I test drove an F150 Raptor. I'm not 100% sold on it due to it's width, but I certainly get the appeal. It's a blast to drive. It tickled my gibbly bits in ways the Gladiator couldn't come close to.
But it is fucking big.
