Picked it up last Monday from a guy who decided to build a new bronco. New 38’s with 4.88 gears, 4.5” lift, etc, etc, etc. Ride is smooth as heck compared to the JK I had. Lovin’ it!!!

His loss, your gain! Welcome!

New Bronco... ???? I test drove, 1/10 don't recommend.
Totally his loss ?

Same for me on the Bronco-just not a fan.

How is the handling with the spare tire weight so far back from the axle?

Congrats and welcome to the club. Looks like a Gobi and also looks to be tastefully upgraded (with a rear tire mount no less). You'll find that Gobi is a highly sought after color, so great find ?

She handles like a dream. I had a knock off bumper on my JK that was similar. This JCR Offroad bumper is superior quality compared to that. No complaints.

Can we not do the thing where we act like everything we don't like is automatically garbage? I much prefer my gladiator, but the bronco is a solid vehicle nowhere near 1/10. Has some downsides like who in their right mind every thought a laggy all-digital tachometer ever belonged on a vehicle with a manual transmission? But there's a reason why they had to stop taking orders for MY22s in early march, and it's not all because of supply side shortages.

I like the bronco. If Ford had gotten their act together I never would have given the Gladiator a second thought. Lucky me, Ford fucked around and effectively sold me into two Gladiators and I'm much happier over here but I still think Ford designers did a good job with everything except the engine choices.
