If Jeeps were still built by AMC I’d buy another one tomorrow! Unfortunately they are now built and owned by Fiat.
You do realize that they have grumpers for the bronco right???
*Stellantis*
Stellantis, Fiat, it’s all plastic to me. Basically the same company just by a different name for the past couple years.
This. My wife just bought a '23 JLU Sport with the only option being a hard top (still has crank windows and no power mirrors or lock, no auto headlights, etc.) and it was still over $40K. It was almost the same as I paid for my 2020 JLU Willys with a fair amount of options. Hell, my '22 2.7 Basequatch 2dr with mod bumper and brush guard was only about a grand more than the wife's Jeep.
I don't assume these new companies are worse than the previous ones. I think the Jeep has less issues now than it ever did in its history considering the capability. I'm more concerned about Ford reliability than Stellantis to be honest with you, and this is coming from a Ford guy.
I can’t disagree with this more. Every experience I’ve had with Chrysler/stellantis/whatever you wanna call it. Each vehicle was in the shop 1-2 times per quarter. Only had one issue with a ford vehicle and it was fixed quickly. The death wobble has been going on for lord knows how long, the interior has been terrible for ??????? The ride quality is awful, the only positive is rock crawling lol and it’s too expensive to purchase JUST to crawl.
And now your bronco build is probably sitting at 48k and some change after the march 15 price increases. Car prices have gotten stupid expensive. The price is what made me look at bronco before Jeep but boy have times changed in the last 3 years with fords pricing. With interest rates through the roof I don’t think a common man will be buying anything, which is probably what they want given sc issues. I was going to order another bronco when order banks reopen but when I saw what it will cost compared to my 2020 reservation/order I changed my mind.
I agree Jeeps are def too damn Expeniave. My cousin bought a JL and hasn't had a single issue with it and while offroading it seemed very confidence inspiring as it basically tackled almost everything. I guess my experience with Ford in terms of reliability has been awful over the years especially with my Ford Taurus. The whole damn vehicle fell apart. I do think all these companies are getting better over time but definitely I don't think of reliability when I think of Ford or Stellantis. I think of Reliability if Toyota is mentioned. I can definitely vouch for a Toyota; however I do like the looks of Fords better. I want this damn Bronco, but have a feeling I'm gonna have to wait forever to get one that I actually want.
Ok lets get this right.... I think!!! (correct me if I'm wrong)
Daimler Divested Chrysler, basically kicking them out and Chrysler was on its own for a a little over 5 years before they were going belly up and Fiat bought them.
