Parked close to a new Bronco today.

Especially when they redesign the Ranger so soon after its relaunch..

Ford never stopped making the Ranger globally. They were already many years into the model run, so they launched with what they had. The new version was already readying for launch.

Did another ride in my sisters-inlaws Bronco today. I believe it's a Big Bend. Rode in the front passenger seat and it just seemed so sparse and plasticy. I've never seen the inside of any of the other Broncos, so maybe there different.

They are all the same, unless they have leather seats, but that doesn't change the dash doors etc.

I don't like the seats in my Gladiator, but the rest of the interior IMHO is pretty nice.

I've rode in a base 4 door Sasquatch and a Base 2 door Sasquatch and both had equal if not better interior as my Base model Jeep Gladiator. A Bronco also has a lot more to offer for the money than a Gladiator does. Not sure about a Big Bend model.

I must be the minority to prefer the plastic over soft touch leatherette on panels.

I prefer the panels on the base Jeeps. Easier to clean and more durable.

Saw one at Lowe’s. It wasn’t bad looking.

How’d you get that canopy on your Gladiator? ?

 

[Jerhemi]

lots of duct tape ?

I dont hate these but you can order a 2 door or 4 door wrangler under invoice pricing and these bronco's are marked up with adjusted market value of 40% in all cases. So you could basically buy 2 wrangler sports for 1 bronco.

That is absolute insanity. Especially considering the IFS doest ride that much better or handle much better than the wrangler. So you get the same ride similar horsepower worse fuel economy (compared to the 2.0L wrangler) at an extreme premium cost?

No wonder the ford ceo wants to close dealerships and order factory direct!

They actually are not marking them up anymore, what ever you order is the price you pay plus delivery fee, tax and tag. We would of been out the door on our 4 door for 48,500 and that's with more options than a 4 door wrangler equal to it comes with plus lift, 35's, beadlocks, and 4.7 gears. Add in the 330HP for the it also. Dealerships that were marking them up got in trouble with Ford Corporate, the CEO even released a statement about it. At first they were marking them up though

If this was for sale and not a ordered one honestly I may would consider selling hilbish my Gladiator and buying this one. For me all I would need would be rock sliders for the sides. I'm digging the cor for sure. I've only seen a Red one, not the orangish red this one has on it. For sure if it came down to a wrangler or this, I'd be all in on the Bronco. Not for everyone, but If they made a Bronco Truck, who knows where I would be at.
