New Ford Bronco?
Anyone have one of these? Most reviews I've read seem pretty positive. Looking to add an off-road toy in the next couple of years, but STILL waiting on Toyota to reveal the next gen 4Runner. Not too thrilled with the new Tundra/Sequoia looks so I imagine it will look similar, but I'm still hoping Toyota has something special planned for the 4Runner given it's cult following.

My brother wanted to test drive one so I rode along. It's definitely a toy as it has laughable NVH for today's day and age. Rattling galore, insane wind noise. This was the soft top model btw.
Would be a fun vehicle though if used for off roading, beach trips, etc.

There are a handful of Bronco owners that posted their impressions in the old Bronco thread: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...739246&page=20
Most seem to like it better than the Wrangler. |

I took one on one of these obstacle courses that was put on by Ford. Cute little SUV, but I couldn't see myself driving one. Maybe if I was in high school?

I'm buying mine as a daily driver once I retire. Of the several test drives I've taken in the 4-door soft top version, it is no more loud inside than my E86.

2022 orders are closed 2023 will be open to order later this year, we test drove and ordered one few days before cut off. Eta 1-1 1/2 years. It’s the around about time we’d be looking to have our hands on it anyway. Nvh far less than our TJ no more than the JK we leased. Drove and ordered 2 door hard top, back is more spacious than the 4 door JK as well.

There are numerous first-time buyers* of the Bronco that do not understand the type of vehicle they are buying; it's Jeep Thing - Ford style... * there are many of these buyers on the Bronco forums that do not understand what they are buying. These people will be the source of the soon to be used fleet available for purchase (unfortunately right now at far too inflated prices).

I always joke about the soft top when it’s on the TJ (wife had bought it new with both tops) on the highway its like being inside a bodhran (Irish drum) especially with front windows rolled down |

I always take Bronco comments with a grain of salt because many folks don’t understand that the Bronco Sport, which became available several months ago, is a completely different vehicle than the Bronco. I also wonder how much this confusion (2 completely different vehicles with very similar names) will affect affect resale value down the road.
In the BMW world it seems similar to driving a FWD X1 or X2 and not understanding how different it is from an AWD X3. However I think the Ford naming scheme makes it less obvious that the Bronco Sport is a much cheaper model than a Bronco, and it is not a sporty upgrade package for a Bronco. |

just order one once the 2023 order banks open in july, and you have 1.5-2yrs to decide if you want it or not before it shows up.
heard a lot of mixed reviews, but mainly if you get the Bronco Sport it sucks and if you get the regular bronco its pretty sweet

When you have your enthusiasts no matter how a manufacturer markets or badges them: if it’s not a wrangler/gladiator it’s not a real jeep. If it’s a Mach E it’s not a real mustang, bronco sport nothing more than explorer and so on. Look at the hate the mk5 Supra got. There’s endless comparisons, I knew someone that said all Mini Cooper owners are snobs why not get a pt cruiser instead
