Dont daily drive any of my Bronco's but wish I could....96 crawler, 96 converted to King Ranch, and sold my 71 a few years ago. I'm a die-hard fullsize guy.

i am in a 2016 Wrangler Hard Rock and i feel lonely in here without anyone to wave to. :p i was actually searching for what the 2018 wrangler might look like when i came across the red-colored rendering of what the new Bronco might look like and i got sucked in. if it is even remotely close to the rendering, i will gladly jump off the jeep ship. my dad had a first gen Bronco when i was growing up in the 80's and i loved that truck. wish to god he would have hung onto it and donated it to me.

My daily driver is a 2007 Sport Trac Limited, V8 4x4. It just passed 136,000 miles. I am actually more interested in the Ranger Wild Trak as I believe it would be a closer replacement for my current vehicle, which has proven to be the perfect size for my needs. My hope is that the next generation of the Ranger is available with the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost. An aluminum body would be icing on the cake but I don't really expect that either will happen.

I also have a '75 Bronco. I swapped the original 302 and 3-speed stick for a stroked 351W (393 ci) and New Venture NV3550 5-speed. It still has the original Dana 20 2-speed transfer case to which I added twin sticks. The front axle is a Dana 44 with 4.10 gears and power disc brakes. The rear axle is the original 9" but has been modified with 4.11:1 gears and a Detroit Locker. I used Bilstein gas shocks, four on the front axle and two on the rear. It runs on 35" Wild Country radials. It has 3 1/2" of suspension lift and a 2" body lift. I also have a tan colored convertible top for it.

Other vehicles include a '67 Ranchero, '68 Mercury Cougar, '70 Mustang Mach 1 and '99 Mustang Cobra.

I drive a '66 Bronco at times, a 2010 Ford Flex at times, and a 2003 Focus ZX5 to work. The commute has a lot of traffic (insufficient lane count) and four-wheel drums are frankly insufficient in these days of four-wheel discs and ABS.

On a downhill stretch in the commute, catastrophe was narrowly averted once--I claim Gran Prix driving skills saved the day but it was the concrete lane dividers that kept the Bronco from flipping as the rear tube bumper scraped an inch off of itself while the Bronco was on two wheels for 30-40 yards. Turning into the slide finally worked when velocity lessened enough for the Bronco to smack back down onto all four tires. 'Drove on like nuthin' happened--which is what ya do when nuthin' happened that insurance would have to pay for...But this shortcoming of '66 brakes--in good shape, but drums are drums--made me decide to commute in the ZX5 (152,000 accident-free miles & counting). And why put more wear on the Bronco to commute to work?? The planned build-up will fix all shortcomings (pneumatic windshield wipers suck so very much), but that's planned for the first retirement project in fifteen months and five days. So I keep adding to the Bronco's bank account--kept separate from all other accounts--for that full-bore upgrade

Will I reconsider and trade the '66 for a 2020?? Not likely. But not out of the question if Ford hits one out of the park! 'Way out of the park...You go, Ford!

I've got a 2011 black Camaro 2SS/RS. Have enjoyed the muscle car phase, but am excited to get back into Ford and the new Bronco.

My daily is a '13 F150 Ecoboost SCrew. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Got rid of my '11 M3 Comp to DD my truck!
I have a full track '66 Mustang Fastback with nose-to-booty CorteX Racing suspension.
An '85 Mustang GT convertible, just like what I drove in college. But, this one has a built 347 and suspension. Going to sell her soon.
Last year I picked up a '16 Shelby GT350. It's been really rainy here this year, so she's sat in the garage too much. Soon to change!
Also a '73 Bronco Explorer. Rebuilding the steering box and carb now so I can drive her.

The rest of my family are all Fords as well. Got my wife a '16 Fusion Energi. She likes it more than her previous X5. Just got my daughter an '09 Escape Limited and my son drives a '15 Fiesta SfE. It has a 3-cylinder Ecoboost motor. Gets insane gas mileage.
We also just picked up a 1975 FMC 2900R Motorcoach to drag the track car to the track. Old School pulling Old School.
