Looks Like Ford Bronco is Serious About Taking on the Wrangler

[Jeep4Win]

Negative for me. Jeep is in my blood!

My current Jeep JL is everything I wanted my 71' Bronco to be, SO no I have zero interest in the new Bronco because my old one was the original...

Will be replacing my Q5 when the warranty is up, probably later next year. I am considering a 4 door Bronco or 4 door Rubi. Need to drive the Bronco and the pricing would need to be in line with the Rubi. Keeping my 18 2 door, so will either end up with one of each or 2 Jeeps.

Looking at all of the For's, Against, and Maybe's, I do wonder about the age group of the For's/Maybe's. I've owned/ridden in many of the originals (because I'm old). Not being negative...I'm truly curious.

I’ll be interested to see the Bronco IF it comes to the U.K. I like my Jeep too much though to be interested enough to buy one

I'm just into a lease, so no vehicles for a couple of years. But when I think about the vehicles that I really loved and was around a lot when I was a kid/teen, Jeep was at the top of the list closely followed by Land Cruiser (we're talking late 60's/70's). Bronco was cool but not as influential in my psyche.

Luckily I'll have a few years for things to shake out. Come 2023 our next vehicle likely will be the VW Buzz as my wife really wants one of those and I don't disagree. The Jeep was a similar dynamic - we both always wanted one so she will be non-electric for a few years. I likely will buy the Jeep at the end of the lease and we'll lease her the Buzz, selling the GTI she has inherited. But time will tell...

The VW Buzz should be interesting. My daily is a 35th Anniversary GLI and wife has a 2019 Beetle Final Edition.

I am/was very interested and the Bronco was a strong contender. However, this week I pulled the trigger and ordered a 2021 Rubicon diesel. I think the Bronco will be a strong competitor, and hopefully forces the Jeep dealers around here to pull their heads out of their... Ultimately, I'm guessing dealers around Utah will pull the same move they do with Raptors and charge $5-$10k mark-up, at least for the first 6-12 months. Gives me another year to decide if I want to switch or not.

No, they took too long. When the Bronco was confirmed and the diesel was in the pipeline, I was excited to pick between them. I waited as long as I could, but Jeep came out with the diesel (which took forever) before Ford Even revealed the Bronco. Tack on another 6-8 months before production and likely dealer price gouging and Ford lost a potential sale. I ordered my diesel rubi 5/29 and am stoked to get it.

That being said, from the leaks the Bronco looks really promising and competition is always a good thing, so I’m excited for the rivalry. It should be fun!

 

[SilverII]

If the leaks are correct, it will have the 2.7L, 4.7 drive ratio and 34.4" tires from factory then I am all in. Lets get the paperwork going

Depends on if Ford decides to make it in something other than a non-color.

If it's a good vehicle, when it's time to explore something other than my current Sport it'll be on the radar. As much as I like my Jeep, for me it would be foolish to say otherwise.

 

[HeavyUser]

I mean yea, of course. I will closely monitor the Bronco forum for a few years, specifically paying attention to the Issues portion of the Forum. If it's like the issues portion of our forum here I won't go near it, I already have a unreliable vehicle I don't need another.

- The 2D bronco is rumored to have a decent trunk space. You can still drive something that doesnt look like a school bus and have proper trunk space is a huge pro imo.

This, a thousand times over.

Only reason I got the 4-door (well, not only, honestly I do like the look of 4-door jeeps) was because of the cargo space I needed for my young family. My daughter is 21 months now and her car seat would've been fine in a 2-door (if a bit more of a hassle getting her in and out, but whatevs), but the near-total lack of cargo space when the back seats are up was the actual deal breaker. I would have had to invest in a small tow-behind storage for any trip lasting more than a night. Just wasn't practical for my family's situation.

If the Bronco 2-door has an actual cargo area in the back with the rear seats up, I'll take a very serious look at it in a couple years.

My interest in the 4-door Wrangler is definitely for the cargo space. The 2 door is just too small and not practical. It looks like the 2 door Bronco will have a decent cargo area and the fact that it is slightly larger than the Wrangler, is a definite plus.

I've decided to hold off on getting a new Wrangler until I test drive the new Bronco.

I did consider the new Bronco, but got tired of waiting and of Ford’s never-ending teasing.

Got a JLU Sahara instead and I am super happy with it. I am a multi-Wrangler owner and this JL still exceeded my expectations. Wish I could say the same about my Jeep dealer, though.
