Was really considering ordering a Bronco a while back but obviously ended up going with the JT. Now that I’ve seen several Broncos out and about, I’ve come to find them less and less attractive. I’ve seen several different models, some modded ones, etc. They just look kind of cheap to me in person, almost like a toy look. They look less rugged than I was expecting too. I don’t hate them or anything, though. Anyone else feel similarly? Referring to full size Bronco, not Sport.

Bronco sport or full-size Bronco?

Haven't seen one in person but they definitely have some kinks to work out...could be real cool by 2023 when they are fixed and you could actually get one. Not worth paying over sticker for sure

They’re nice. It’s not a Jeep so it’s not my cup of tea but overall the Bronco looks cool. I don’t think it has the soul of my ‘68 Bronco but who cares.

I actually just got to see one up close for the first time today and I think it looks better in person than I was expecting.

Not bad, but what they had out front in the premier spot caught my eye even more. ;)

I cam off the MTB trail the other day and noticed one in the parking lot adjacent to the lot where I parked. I told my buddy, he didn’t notice it, I had to go to the other lot to make myself feel good about my Gladiator. I had a Bronco ordered. As soon as we pulled in and he noticed he said “Oh yeah, you made the right choice.” I agreed.

I’ve seen quite a few of these in person in various colors and trims. It’s looks are very much dependent on the trim and color. Personally I’m in different to them. They look very retro 60’s, so Ford nailed that aspect of it, but some of the specs aren’t that impressive over the JL/JT. I’m also not a fan of just how “big” they are. Even the 2-Door is massive. Tech wise I don’t think it has any real advantage over JL/JT. A friend of mine has had a bronco on order since April and he’s been pushed back 4 times. He has a JL 4Xe as a hold-over until his 2-Door Manual Bronco soft top finally gets delivered (whenever that happens).

I watched one on a gnarly trail today. It held its own. Not the floundering I come to expect from IFS.
I like my JT better. But it did well. Some scraping etc. But it did good. Jeep, step it up.

Neighbor brought one home the other day. I think they look amazing. Not sure how they could do better to be honest.

They're also insanely capable. The lockers and disconnects are SO much better than traditional tech. Would love for jeep to step it up.

I think the 4 doors look weird, but the 2 doors look awesome. I don't really have a use for a 2 door since having kids. I've been keeping up on the bronco forum on the reservation bs, Ford lies and deceit, POS dealer adm and tricks, and it being a Ford in general have turned me off
