The reason I might end up leasing so I don’t lose out too much on $$$. I have cybertruck deposit on hold but it might take 2-3 years until I get the truck.

There pros and cons But it all depends. For leasing I would stick to the 2.3 but auto but if I decided to buy it and maybe sell it later then I would do the 2.7/ auto with hardtop to get the most of the sale value.I never really understood the appeal of leasing. You cant modify it, you're limited on how much you can drive it with hefty penalties if you go over, and it still costs almost as much as purchasing. You're basically just paying the depreciation and getting nothing in return. I guess if you really like rotating cars every couple years it works.
I used to always buy... the last couple, I've leased, either 2 years or 3 years. I save enough money to pay off the lease portion, then decide if I want to buy at the end. I know...................buying is always cheaper.................but since I'm in CA, if I decide to buy, I pay 9% tax up front, on the whole purchase. If I lease, I pay only the tax on the principle portion of each portion. My goal is to get to the end of the lease, and feel that I have a choice to keep a vehicle or not. If buying, I've got to think whether to buy the vehicle at the end of the same 3 years, while knowing that I've already paid the full amount of tax on a vehicle that I no longer want. BTW, unlike many other states, you DO NOT get credit for the value of your trade in in CA. You just keep paying tax on the whole thing, over and over again!
They should for the first year broncos after that not so much, that way I get a good deal ?I just hope whatever ford decides to do with leasing the bronco it doesn’t offer cheap leases that flood the market.
Toyota has done this with Tacoma and the truck which used to be hard to come by in the used truck market now they are everywhere, watering down the resale...
