As a Bronco owner, I had heard about some issues before buying it, like wind noise and leaks. After driving it for a while, those problems do show up. But let’s be real, no vehicle is perfect. Every rig has its pros and cons. Even so, if I had the chance to do it again, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this rig.

To me, the Bronco is the best-looking SUV on the market right now. It has a retro vibe and strong design. And it’s just plain fun. With a removable top, you do get some road noise and rattles, but that’s part of the charm. Driving it is a blast. Taking the doors off and hitting dirt roads is so fun. Snow? Even better. It’s just really cool, really fun.

How about you? Why did you pick a Bronco over other rigs? Drop a comment and share.

I've always liked retro vibe vehicles. While I was primarily into 60s muscle as a kid, I did like International Scouts and Ford Broncos...with the edge to the Scout despite my ford fanboy-ism. The bronco checks that block as a retro throwback.

The other thing is 2 doors and a manual. I'll freely admit there was some FOMO in there too, as both are dying. I'd been wanting an SUV to supplement my Mustang for a while and finally decided I had better get a Bronco while I still could.

Back in 22' I was originally after a Raptor-R but decided I wasn't going to pay the 40k or more markup on top of the 130k price. I have to admit my Bronco has proven to be more fun than any pickup would be.... so, I hung onto my old gen 1 raptor and never looked back.....

#1 feature...Taking the doors off. I mean, I do like the retro styling as well and I always loved classic Broncos, Scouts, Land Rovers and Toyota FJs.

I wish they made the 2.7 or even better the 3.0 with a 6spd manual, but it is what it is.

I do like how easy it is to mod though. I don't believe in stock vehicles. Everything is a project and nothing is safe until we hit 500hp+.

I'm realistic...it's a Ford. It will have way more quality issues than my Japanese cars and never be as luxurious, fast or enjoyable to drive as my German cars. It's just fun to look at and drive in a completely different way than anything else on the road.

I had a few different F150s that were set up for off-roading. Then I had a Harley-Davidson truck, which was basically a show truck. The group I had off-roaded with sort of moved on, but I still had the bug. So when I saw the Bronco's I was like Hmmm......then nah....Then I spoke with and looked at a group who were repping at a local car show. The next day I purchased a Badlands, and yeah, the rest is history.

I love the way the Bronco is setup. I also love modding vehicles. So the Bronco is satisfying two urges I have. Also, as my daily, it is a great vehicle to drive. Now that I have the Braptor, it is even better on the road, for off-road, you already know what it can do.

So I feel Ford hit the nail on the head with the Bronco. A few things I think they could still do better, but they are improving. So I'll be driving and wheeling my Bronco for the foreseeable future.

I enjoy driving it. And I really enjoy that I can take it almost anywhere if I need to bug out. I have been taking an overlanding approach to creating a bugout vehicle. I had no idea I would really enjoy driving it every day!!!!

I got out of 4 wheeling about 20 years ago (got sick) and moved to town about 10 years ago so didn’t need a truck, my back got so bad I couldn’t sit down in the mustang or pretty much any “car” so when the bronco came out I figured it it could do a little “wheeling” and be kind’a comfortable…I have been pleasantly surprised how well it does on both counts plus it harkens back to my ‘68…the wife even likes it…

It’s the perfect vehicle as it’s fun to drive, Good looking. Easy and limitless mods if you like to customize your vehicle. And it’s a useful vehicle for most daily driving and people/cargo hauling.

I had followed the same Prototype teaser for some 16+ years and gave up on them ever building it when I caught the announcement of the launch the day before it was going to happen. After giving my XJ away and leaving the game for 10 years because I wasn't entertaining the idea for a 3rd Jeep. I figured I had to even the Jeep Bronco score (81 CJ5, 76 Bronco, 93 XJ) & the wife said get it. 747 days later I brought it home & found myself back in the game 🤠.
