The Civic and Maverick I can see but the Bronco I think is a far stretch given all the problems it's having. Between the leaking tops (both tops) blown 2.7 motors and many electrical problems it's hard to take this article from Roadshow serious. I think it'll be a great vehicle once they get all these bugs worked out and I was impressed with the two I drove on/off road but right now I'm actually glad mine was delayed. But I guess now a days everyone gets a participation trophy. ?

What do you think of the on-road manners of your Tremor vs. the Broncos you drove?

I don't have a Tremor, I have a Lariat on 32's and a level so it's close to one. The Bronco I drove on the road was a 4dr Badlands and I didn't get to drive it to far but it drove good but hard to make a fair comparison between the two.

Now the one I drove off road I got to take out for about an hour. That was a 2dr Wildtrak and it was way nicer than the Ranger. Mostly because it had Bilstein suspension which is super plush going through the rockers and smooth and not floating/bouncy going high speed. Those that have changed out their shocks on their Ranger said its made a huge difference.

Thanks for the input. I suspect the coil suspension on the Bronco would also make for a smoother ride than the leaf springs do for the Ranger. Although I have read good things about the ride of the Tremor, and the others with better shocks (as you said).
