“Definitely not as capable as a solid axle Jeep Wrangler”

[Ratbert]

And you gotta consider how freakin WIDE the Bronco Raptor is. I bet it doesn’t even fit on many trails! I find it ugly, and most will end up as mall crawlers.

Hell, the standard Bronco is 2" wider than a Wrangler. Tack another 9.8" onto that width for the Raptor. NFW.

Their launch has been a royal disaster. Only a handful have taken delivery. Most are still waiting. Some that reserved day one. And now most are sitting in holding lots awaiting rework. And there was even a communication about units shipping without non-safety critical chips.

If that’s not a buzz kill I don’t know what is. I’d have walked long ago if I was a day one reservation holder and still didn’t have my Bronco.

I considered one but after seeing the shit show and getting told it would be a year wait I gladly went and bought a JLUR and haven’t looked back.

And the Raptor version is supposed to hit the dealers this summer, which means more waiting for those poor reservation holders. Shit show is an understatement.

Is anyone actually buying these? I've seen exactly one on the road since they came out.

I havent really seen many in my area of New York (NYC/Westchester) but over the last week i have seen around 10 driving around. it seems people are finally getting theirs delivered.

And the Everglades edition.

I live in the middle of Los Angeles and I’ve seen two or three this entire time. Either they’re still very hard to buy or not as many people are buying them.

I'm starting to see a lot more in OC

It's amazing how quickly the Bronco got boring.

The more I see them on the street and parking lots, the more I think they are just oddly proportioned vehicles! They are lumpy and large!

I find it humorous that he takes about engine reliability in the long run when he has not kept any vehicle other than his JK for more than a very short time

Sorry I watched it, just another guy, sponsored by Found Off Road Dead, who wants to sell you a bunch of crap for a Bronco, because he can't compete anymore with the Jeep crowed!

I'm 5' 10" and agree. That said, I have them all the way back. No idea how a person 6 inches taller would find it comfortable.

I'm 6'5" with long legs. It's fine. This and my JK are the only vehicles where I can drive 12 house and not have aches. I was miserable after 6 or 7 hours on a recent trip in a luxo Nissan Armada that had a lot more room. Initially and for a short while it's seats are more comfortable. But on the long haul the Jeep takes over and wins.

Speaking of waiting. A good friend of mine just received his Wildtrack with Sasquatch package. He waited 1 yr and 8 months for it,delay after delay and it finally came in. He said the dealer he ordered it from offered him $8,000 more than he paid for it after it came in.

They are getting more common in the past couple months. I see them pretty much every day now. I'm down in Torrance.

Actually THIS is a Bronco

Looks like they took one of those motorhome windshields and put it on the back of that little thing.

All sorts of wrong here. Something tells me you didn't watch it
