So I ordered a bronco and picked up a lease for a Sahara 4xe from Chapman while I was waiting last summer. Since then I really have enjoyed the 4xe but wanted to close the door on the bronco before I bought out the lease so I sought after a few to drive.
sorry for the long review but TL;DR keeping the 4xe, bronco cool but not better
I found a local dealer with 2 bronco mannequins, a 2 dr wildtrack Sasquatch with the 2.7 turbo 6 and a 4dr 4 cyl turbo big bend. The dealer handed me the keys to both and I was free to check em out.
First up 2 dr Sasquatch:
Positives:

First up 2 dr Sasquatch:
Positives:
- The 35s look amazing
- ton of fun to drive. The 2 dr v6 is quick for sure and I really enjoyed it
- Steering felt more connected and tight vs the the Jeep
- Same ride feel on the back roads I was on
- Interior reminded me of a 2008 Kia rental car, all hard plastics and definitely didn’t represent a vehicle as expensive as this. I get they are meant for ruggedness and wash out but Ford definitely could do
better - Audio, worst sound system I have ever heard in any car I have ever been in, no joke. Sounded like two front speakers only, awful!
- Avg 15 mpg displayed which is worse then my mustang gt
- Instrument cluster makes no sense, the 80s called and want their tach back
- No rear cargo space which was expected
- Engine power is definitely adequate, no need for more power but it wasn’t “ fun to drive”.
- Interior cloth seats were nice but the shifter and interior just felt so cheap
- Same awful base audio
- Avg 17.8 mpg listed
- Plenty of room , felt wider, great rear cargo space
- Wheel/tire combo looked a little small on the 4dr
