Don't be "sorry for the negative vibe". If that is your true opinion and thought process to back out up then that is absolutely valid.So I finally saw the bronco at an event in Indiana where Bronco reps were driving them on a “tour” showing them off.
let me start off by saying I have been reading reviews here on people larger than myself and was quite optimistic. I am 6’3” 240 lbs.
However, I am not sure how I feel. People kept saying the bronco was big... I don’t see that. If anything it was small. I got to look at a 4 dr Badlands 2.3 7 speed manual, leather with Lux pkg. they demonstrated the door removal and the guy lazily removed one door in 49 seconds. Overall I liked the Bronco but I did feel the width was a little lacking (slightly better than a Jeep) and the dash seemed tiny, I mean tiny. The back seat room was a little disappointing for me but not horrible. By disappointing I thought it would feel closer to maybe a Ranger but I felt it (the Bronco) was a little more cramped and I never even shut the door on the bronco. Front leg room was adequate, I just couldn’t get over how small the dash was. It felt go-kart ish. A realistic look at the rear storage it was small too. I couldn’t imagine the 2 door cargo area. I will say it definitely looks awesome. Overall I’m having mixed feelings about the Bronco. I’ve seen so many pictures and it seems bigger in them Than in person. I feel like my review is kind of negative, but there was plenty of cool stuff too. Like being that the dash seemed small the locker and anti sway bar disconnect buttons were easy to reach and forward visibility seemed outstanding. This one had the optional wheels with 33s I thought the stance was nice and it looked great. The front seats were comfortable and the back was decent. Everything (switches) were put in a place that made sense. Very user friendly. I will say I have read about this before but if you are my size or bigger, you will not be sitting in the back seat with the soft top due the the bar that runs across over your head. I actually hit my head on it because I couldn’t see it when they flipped the front of the top back. Sorry for the negative vibe but I feel just like every vehicle that is not a full size is so much of a compromise for taller (6’ +) people. People 6 foot and shorter will love this thing. Thanks.
, should be a nice day. A little hot today, pushing 90º.
Ditto on the downside to owning an otherwise stellar f-150. I look forward to getting the bronco in the garage and not getting annoyed trying to maneuver in most parking lots. I do not know what the turn radius will be on the new bronco but my 1991 bronco seemed to spin around on its own axis.
Your photos really make A51 look great!So I finally saw the bronco at an event in Indiana where Bronco reps were driving them on a “tour” showing them off.

Today was the first day that I was able to see and sit in a bronco. I am not tall 5'7". One had manual seats and one had electric. I tried adjusting the height on both because I like to sit up high to see better. My concerns have been put to rest.@mustangfamily03 If your son is 4’9” then this bronco even my 2 door is gonna be huge for me! Lol. I’ve only got 2” on him for height! I’ve seen one in person and I’m going again Monday and my biggest worry is being able to see over the dashboard! Lol
Agree, that picture with the doors, hood and hatch open may be the best color I've seen on a bronco. Looks like an overcast day. Crazy how different some of the pictures look in different lighting.
