Wife and I have been looking for second vehicles. Went to look at a Bronco

NOPE

People give Jeep shit for reliability. At least I can buy one this decade

I did try to go bronco first. Ordered from one of the few discount dealers at 4% under invoice. I was number 350ish in line when Ford changed their allocation formula for MY22 and announced my dealer would only be getting 53 units for the entire model year. They made decisions to satisfy their largest dealers that hurt the end users. If they cared that little about my business, I stopped caring about them, and here I am as a result.

My pops is still waiting in his bronco…..it’s been two years since he placed his order and finally got a shipping date for it to arrive at end of the month. He’s was asked more times then he can count to reconsider his order and to take some options off to get it sooner and had to change paint color due to discontinued antimatter blue. Safe to say he will never buy another Ford after the complete mess bullshit and lies he’s had to deal with. Word of advice anyone in Orange County stay away from Caruso Ford.

Ha, I almost bought a 2022 with 5k miles. But then I questioned the warranty. Previous owner put rims, 35's, spacer lift, which was ok kinda. But the kicker was the winch. To install it they had to cut pieces off the frame, cut the oil cooler mount off, reposition the cooler and then reattach the hoses that quick connects with hose clamps. Big nope!

2 days later I drove my 21 Gladiator over to see what they had...lol

Several youtube guys I watch that have owned one or know people that have, seem to dislike them.

Earlier today I got an email about the refund on my $150 deposit from a few years ago. I had forgotten it was refundable. Wanted the Outer Banks but when they severely downgraded the towing capacity and the final product was revealed I wasn't interested.

Ford seems to be the leader in offering cool vehicles that are next to impossible to get

Hilbish Ford in Kannapolis and Huntersville Ford can have one delivered in 90 days or less. They didn't get penalized by Ford for the mark up Deal that was going on. Ford penalized some dealerships who were marking units up in the beginning and now they were pushed to bottom as far orders go. I know at least 6 people in my area who have bought from one or the other and had theirs in about 9 weeks delivered. It all comes down what package you get. If you get the Sasquatch package and do your upgrades from there and not add in the safety features like lane departure and stuff like that and no leather you can have one delivered in that time frame for around $49,000 with the destination fee added in. Hilbish will refund your $1000 deposit if they can't have it to you in 3 months or less. The wife and I are considering one and previously ordered one at the beginning of last year but backed out because we decided to invest in something else at the time.

Still not sure why people compare a Bronco to a Gladiator, it's more in line with a Wrangler and I've driven a new wrangler and New bronco and if I didn't need a truck I would easily choose a Bronco over wrangler. More power and for what you get the money you come out better in the Bronco. The only thing that I don't like is IFS in the front. Wish it was solid axle but other than that the Bronco is a way better ride than the wrangler is. I talk to the guys at RTR racing a few times a week. Their property butts up to our property where I work and they love the bronco and have done some amazing stuff with them and taken them to some pretty crazy places and had no problems. They also have a tune they offer for $500 that bumps that HP up to 400hp and the Torque to 420. I wouldn't get rid of my Gladiator for one because I need the truck and I like jeeps as well and the Gladiator is a perfect match for me but for the wife I can see a Bronco in our yard this year.

Or buy this bumper and install the winch to it. Not sure why someone would do all that to install a winch

WTF. Just for a winch? And this is supposed to be an off-road vehicle lol.

I honestly don't get the Bronco hype.

LOL, and many people love them.

Exactly, I love all the Bronco hate people have. Sounds like envy to me more than hate. You know what they say, when your on top everyone likes to hate on ya, or if your a threat.

 

[Jeeperjamie]

I'll just leave these here for the haters
