Pretty good numbers until I add in all the added upgrades in the first year alone

Considering most of those vehicles are small cars, this is pretty good!

Pretty sure my “cost of ownership” would have been much lower on a car where I couldn’t fit 35’s, ditch lights, or a safari bar, to name a few minor ”costs of ownership” I’ve incurred.

Bu bu but I was told the quality was abysmal?

$4400 cost of maintenance? My past 3 cars, I ran to 200k+ and not sure I had $4400 in maintenance combined.

What's with the high maintenance costs for the Bronco? MIC replacement?

Fail. This does not include the addiction to accessories that comes with ownership of a Bronco and the Bronco tax on said accessories.

Pretty cool, but KBB clearly isn't factoring in all the extra stuff we're buying for our Broncos! That's increased my cost-to-own a bit. I guess I'll have to make it up on having fewer repairs and less-expensive maintenance than they are predicting. Plus, my insurance is lower.

Consumer Reports reading this...

Where’s the 4Runner in this list? Also “lowest 5 years to own” but hasn’t been out for three. I know a myriad of factors go into this but come on.

 

[Krimzun]

They forgot to factor in the cost of mods!

KBB is just a marketing company. You can buy their ratings, numbers, recommendations, etc.

Took the words out of my mouth!

I imagine if you added up all the recall and warranty expenses incurred by the OEM, it would fall out of that category really quick!
