Holy Moly, what's silly is you on this forum defending the Bronco to your death. If you actually own that white jeep your showing, sell the dam thing and go get you a bronco, go on that forum and be done already. Your like a brick wall, just go get one already and be happy fixing it.

Yes that was my Jeep, 12 Rubicon. My Bronco is being built right now as a first 24 hour reservation. Though I had almost placed an order for the new 2dr Rubicon 4.88 stick.

Both the Jeeps and new Bronco are well earned off road vehicles. Why can’t I like both?

My big issue is that everyone says the Bronco can’t compete yet all the evidence I see says it can. If the Bronco is that bad where is the video that backs your points?

Wait till the tranny breaks on the trail.

The way I see it the more the merrier. I currently have a 2011 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X, a 2021 Wrangler Willy’s, a 2017 BMW X3, and a 2018 Miata Club. Variety is the spice of life. I will own a new Bronco 2 door….eventually. I’m hoping Chevy gets their heads out of their butts and makes a real Blazer following the Bronco roadmap. The more competition the more innovation. People who hate on the Bronco without any experience in one just sound jealous.

The Bronco hasn’t earned anything. Most of them haven’t been delivered yet. Of those that have, most of the ones we’ve seen online belong to professional reviewers with a bias. The few honest videos I’ve seen haven’t been extremely kind to them. The soft tops are wrinkled like it was left in the dirty laundry for a week. The soft tops also scrub and scratch the paint. The hard tops they can barely even make and when they do they seem to be falling apart for most people. Sometimes they just refuse to go into or out of 4 wheel drive. The G.O.A.T. Mode gimic seems to break if you drive on the slightest incline or gravel. Hopefully Ford will work out the bugs. I hope yours doesn’t give you any trouble and they give Jeep a run for their money but so far I’m not impressed.

Bottom line. I ordered a Badlands Bronco on July 16, 2 days after they were announced. I’m still waiting for it. Ford keeps sending chotzie little trinkets telling me to be patient. In the meantime I order a 21 XR Rubicon on October 1st. It is being transported this week and I will pick it up at the dealership. Guess I’m a Jeep guy.

Just my honest opinion- I’ve seen about a dozen new Bronco’s on the road here in Florida. Every one a mall crawler driven by a soccer mom. I do not like the look, too boxy. A few videos I’ve seen, where people actually take them on trails, make it look like the front suspension on the Bronco is completely inadequate. Competition is good, but I think the Bronco is a swing and a miss. They cheaped out when they should have used the best material. They provided the bare minimum underneath when they should have added more robustness. Again, just my opinion. But if you want the smoother ride with better highway handling, get a Bronco. You want a true no-nonsense offroader that can look very good at the mall too, get a Jeep. My dad just got a brand new 4xe and my God in pure stock form it looks like a beast compared to a Bronco. Just drove it 1,500 miles with no issues. Can’t wait to get my 392 soon.

I’ve seen multiple videos where the Bronco fairs well

I’m still waiting on the crawl comparison that the Bronco does not compete. If you have the vid/s please post them.

The 4xe was given a horrible review I thought. I hope your dad likes his. I love both the Jeep and the Bronco. I’m the opposite, I liked when the JK went boxy over the TJ rounded cornered hardtop. How do you guys drive a Jeep with a manual? Weird.

I have a few points I would like to make with you because there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding.
#1 I don’t answer to you. If you want to see comparison videos go look them up yourself. When you claimed the Bronco was capable and earned its great reputation I didn’t demand you prove it with video evidence. I just stated that it hasn’t earned anything.
#2 I never said anything about crawl comparisons. I mentioned several problems that people have had. None of which had anything to do with crawl comparisons.
If you like Broncos and find nothing wrong with them then I hope you get one and enjoy it. I’ve said this several times but I’ll say it again. So far they just haven’t impressed me.

Oh, here you go again! Posting in an already flooded bronco thread, when you should go start your own!

I figured if we’re gonna be forced into talking about the bronco, because there aren’t any other threads, then I wanted to post a pic of one worthy of discussion…..l

I thought they were better than the Wrangler stock. They had to swap the entire front IFS to straight axle. Wonder what that cost.

The axles are out of a 2008 F250 , so I’m guessing not that much, lol.
