Parked close to a new Bronco today.

Hey, I used to have a Ford Flex!

It was like a 365 HP AWD minivan, so it didn’t suck.

The later ones after they fixed the grill looked ok. When I worked for enterprise, we had a ton of them. Got a great deal because they were slow sellers. They had really comfortable seats and had a lot of room. They were great for rental cars. Lol kidding, but they really did. I was in CO then and had fun ripping around in the snow in them. The factory tires sucked in the snow and they had decent power, so it made them more fun.

That all being said, a Bronco shouldn’t look like a flex.

Don't know why ppl tend to compare the two. One's a pickup truck and one isn't. Pretty sure I read Ford was test driving a Gladiator to gear up for a pickup version of the Bronco.

Now that will be legitimate competition. And I gotta be honest, the independent suspension, great engine, and rear airbags make it awfully appealing for my situation.

Yeah I was just joking. We had a 2017 Ecoboost AWD Limited, and it was a nice minivan substitute when our kids were younger. But I don’t think it looked like a Bronco either.

I’m a Bronco fan. I’ve had two reservations over the past two years and cancelled both.
It was honestly between the Gladiator and the Bronco for me.
Sasquatch is a must if you’re getting a Bronco. Anything less looks like a bathtub on stilts.

I'm a fan of them and if I didn't need a truck I'd have one. We had one on order but cancelled it because we are trying to buy a couple condos at the beach for an investment so we decided to hold off. They got more interior space than a wrangler or a Gladiator and I was darn impressed with the extra HP your get with 2.7 liter. They definitely have more pep than a Regular JT or JL even on 35's. If I was in the market for a Wrangler then It would be tough for me choose a wrangler over a Bronco.

We will have one in the driveway probably next year.

I don’t have anything against the Bronco except to me Ford totally blew it because it doesn’t much resemble the early Broncos at all.

Some of the conceptual ones looked great - much like the conceptual Gladiators with the spare on side of bed.

The new Bronco's sorta remind me of the old International Scouts! Looks similar to me. All looks better when raised!!

They actually look pretty close to the old ones to me. They didn't miss it by much. I mean to me they look more like a older Bronco than a New Jeep Gladiator looks like a older Gladiator.

They really do and that’s not a bad thing.

It’s like a base model Jeep, they don’t look great. The factory Sasquatch models look damn good in my opinion.

If only Ford could get their production line in order, i would love to add 7 speed manual sasquatch to my Jeep

They cancelled the pickup truck version of the Bronco in the summer of 2021. About when they realized they had better focus on trying to actually build the SUV that they had 200,000 orders for.

Don't know the Bronco models very well. This one was parked in the Safeway parking lot today. I think I prefer my Gladiator or my wife's JLU Sport.

Nice Jeep. We won't be dopplegangers for long. I have stuff on order.

Hahaha. I'm working with gentleman in Tucson to buy his Rubicon wheels and tires. 33" tires are about as far as I plan to go.

I just disagree completely. Below are the concept pictures I remember seeing and at the time I remember thinking I’d be very interested in having one if they looked like this. They don’t.

Why would ford do that. I doubt they will since they have idk. A raptor, f150 tremor, ranger, ranger raptor, maverick, maverick tremor and not to mention all the trucks I didn’t mention. Why build a bronco truck.
