My honest opinion so far, having had the bronco for 8 months now, and doing some decent wheeling with it.... jeep die hards need to be more concerned about the new kid on the block.

Nah. I was truly excited about Bronco...four years ago.

But delays, production problems, supplier issues, more delays, chintzy fit and finish, Ford’s PR games, poor quality, dealer greed, Ice Mountain, and more delays, turned me off completely.

I got tired of waiting three years ago and got a JL instead. It’s turned out to be well built, solid on the trails and trouble-free in my daily driving.

Now every day Bronco owners are reporting blown engines, weak knuckles, broken tie rods, failing fuel pumps, and brake issues. God knows what else will start to break on these things as owners keep adding the miles.

I wish them luck.

I also will be one of those few with both vehicles in the garage, currently have a 4 door badsquatch and am waiting on the JLUR XR to arrive any day. Looking forward to the awesome reviews from you!

I hope to see some Broncos while in Moab, I like the look and expect that they are quite capable, though I have no intentions of getting one.
I need pictures to tease my coworker who still has one on order but knocked his wife up with their 3rd kid and got a Venza instead

Not sure why all the hate for the new Bronco... I think it looks great and more reason to keep Jeep on its toes! That green is awesome. Looking forward to your comparison. My next Jeep is going to be a 2dr... would consider a Bronco... maybe? The plastic fantastic interior is holding me back though.

Case in point right here. You're spending so much time magnifying anything that's gone wrong, that you don't notice the Broncos out on the trails actually kicking some tail. Did you know Ford already released an upgraded rack and tie rods? Did you know EVERY new vehicle across the industry is seeing 4-6 months lead time?

Or Jeep can sit back and assume their vehicle is perfect and the competitor should be ignored. Not sure that business model works historically.

Did you know Bronco buyers are still waiting 12-18 months for their glorified Rangers? Did you there are tens of thousands of Broncos still parked outside waiting for missing parts? Did you know Ford dealers are still playing games? Did know every day Bronco owners are discovering something else on their rigs that has been under-engineered?

Ford fans never cease to amaze me in their capacity to make up excuses and put up with poor engineering.

Well my July 2020 Bronco reservation was finally realized built and delivered in the form of a 2022 2 door Bronco Sasquatch 2.7TT Auto in Eruption Green.

If I keep both it will live its life along side my 2022 Willys Sport Extreme Recon 2.0T in Gobi.

Hopefully they get along. No fighting in this house. Lol.

Get ready for some video content comparing them. I'm brutally honest. So no biased reviews from me.

Very Nice! Really luv the Gobi. Is that the premium or non top?

ur probably going to notice how much more suspension travel u get out of the jeep up front. I definitely would like to see ur comparison between the two. real world mpgs would be nice also.

The Soft top is not the premium. It's the standard.

The Soft top is not the premium. It's the standard.

That’s what I was thinking. I actually like the look of the standard better, I think.

 

[Mudduck]

i dont hate the Bronco. With that said, there wouldnt be much difference in lifting a ranger and hitting the trails.... Jeep should be weary of the Ranger..... Said no one ever.

 

[blnewt]

Nice pair Jason , like that 2dr Bronco, too bad your Jeep isn't a 2dr so you'd have more similar vehicles to compare, but looks like you're winning regardless. Look forward to your future postings on both. And IMO that 2dr Bronco looks almost as good as a 2dr JL, and a whole lot better than a 4dr Bronco!
Happy trails

Depends on the paint color for me. I purposely went with the standard because I was getting Gobi and I knew it would look better. If I was going with a color like Reign I'd probably go premium. Maybe. Lol.

Yeah I agree. I'm not a fan of the 4 door Bronco at all. Love the 2 door Bronco though. I do like the 4 door Jeep though.?‍

Unless Ford starts using a solid front axle, there’s literally no reason for Jeep die hards to be concerned about the Bronco.
