Bronco Respect

[JeepViking13]

My buddy got this and I’m a little jealous. Obviously his cost $17k more but I have $5k aftermarket into mine. But the extra $12k savings is enough for me. 2 door broncos are the best looking in my opinion and 4 door wranglers look better than 4 door broncos. His is a manual as well, I need to drive it to compare. Didn’t have time today…

Nice. I love the Eruption Green. That's what color I got my Bronco Sasquatch in. And I agree. I'm a 2 door Bronco fan myself. And im a 4 door Wrangler fan.?

I dislike Bronco and Jeep people alike

???

I’m more of a Blazer guy set on the 69-72 generation.

I’m at a point in my life, where the JLU had to fit the bill. To each their own, just get out there and enjoy.

Yeah, I dig the pre 73 Blazers, a shame I had the miserable experience of owning a 73 Blazer though, that thing was the biggest POS I've even owned, and I've owned a dreaded few clunkers over the years

Yeah, your 2 door is nice. Ford did a nice job w/ the 2 door, the 4 dr Bronco just not doing it for me 4dr Jeeps took a while for me to get used to, and they look pretty good to me now lol. I don't think the 4dr Bronco will though.

I feel the same. Although even with the 4 door Jeep it needs 35s. The longer the wheelbase the bigger the tires. Even more so with the 4 door Bronco because of the muscular wide shape of the front end. The 4 door Bronco with small tires looks hideous to me. It at least needs the Sasquatch package minimum.

The fastest way for Jeep to lose my business in the future is to continue allowing their quality control to go even further down the shitter...I traded in my F150 for my 21 Mojave and love it but some of the issues Im seeing right now do not make me feel this is going to be a 10-15 year Jeep like my others. For some of the big issues (clutch on manuals) they are simply hanging us out to dry.

No. But the screen I got is still pretty big. Much bigger then my Wrangler. I think its 8.5 inches. But it wide. Big enough for me.

Not to be the odd man out here, but I think the new Bronco is ugly. I appreciate Ford resurrecting the Bronco from the dead, I love it when classics come back with new life. But I live in a pretty affluent area and have seen quite a few new Bronco's up close and I am always thankful I bought the Jeep. All comparisons with off-road capability and highway comfort aside, I just don't like the styling of the new Bronco. Some of the proportions look off to me, like it was rushed into production. The early roof and engine issues they had seem to support this. Again, not slamming Ford in general or people who like Broncos. I just can't get past the weird aesthetics of it. If they put a V8 into it and fixed the fenders though, I'd be a looking............?

Had Bronco offered a V8 and Jeep didn’t I would be driving a Bronco. Well, I would have one on order anyway.

I felt crushed when I didn’t get my Bronco, despite getting my VIN in week #2 of their issue date. (6) build dates later, with no end in sight to all the delays, I pulled the pin and bought my JLU.

When I see the (very few) Broncos on the road around here, I do wish Ford had gotten their shit together and were able to deliver what they sold. Discovering that Ford is cancelling ALL Retail orders for 2023 because they STILL haven’t filled all of their 2021 orders for folks like me who reserved in 2020 tells me I made the right move.

OP said it right: I too like the Bronco, but (and speaking as former Ford dealer employee), that company can go f*ck itself. I absolutely hate the way they do business.

…Plus they stole all the features of the JL and marketed them as their own inventions. Gimmicky “GOAT” modes no one needs being the one exception….

Your story sounds like an exaggerated " fishing tale" .

It’s not so much hate for Bronco, it’s hate for Ford and their arrogant marketing tactics ... The Broncos competition is the 4Runner. The Wrangler still stands alone.

I love them both, but the Bronco fits me better and I have a lot more room. That said, my Wife enjoys driving the Jeep as it more agile/nimble. I’m just waiting on the 3.0 TT motor and I’ll have a Bronco and Jeep In my driveway

(Traded the old girl in for Bronco)

So you had the small screen in your Jeep then. Jeeps big screen is 8”.

This ^^^^. Ford has forever lost me as a customer after the issues I've watched over the years (Powerstroke 6.0 being a big deal over here), my own personal experiences with them (I've owned a few, including the dual clutch fiasco) and their marketing and delivery crap lately.

I was actually shopping a 2 door Bronco along with the 2 door Wrangler. When the dealers treated us like we didn't matter, I walked. One of the sales people laughed at us when we asked about a Bronco.
