NO, Have it and waited too long to get it. My JK only got about 15mpg, so I'm ahead of the game. So far after 500miles IM adv 19.6

My Bronco gets about the same fuel economy as my F-350 and right now gas is cheaper than diesel so, no, gas prices did not factor into my decision in any way.

my Bronco actually gets slightly better MPG than my Tacoma did, so it doesn't bother me all that much

I just received then went on a trip to the beach. $5.29 a gallon in FL was a bit painful. However, I don't have to commute at the moment and neither does my wife. With that said and even though we make a good living and can absorb the increase, we are doing what we can do to mitigate. One of the biggest things we're doing is taking advantage of fuel points at our local grocer (Kroger), buying everything we can from that store. We're also purchasing gift cards that often get 4x fuel points from Kroger for stores we need something from - essentially putting a big part of our spend into Kroger. It ends up taking a $1 off the top for each car once a month - perhaps more. It'll eventually come down - we didn't want a temporary issue our decision.
Kroger is the place to be for gas right now. Food prices go up- discount goes up. Still not cheap, but that .70-$1.00 discount each time makes it palatable.

I did for a brief moment. Then I realized how awesome my Bronco is going to be and I work hard to play hard :)

Because I’m curious- are gas prices having you reconsider buying a bronco? I assume many (myself included) aren’t exactly driving green vehicles at the moment anyway, but I figure there are a good amount that ordered these when gas was $2.50 a gallon. Is there a line where you break off interest?
Hoping the electric or PHEV options are announced sooner than later. If an electric bronco is coming out I can wait another year or two.

I've already taken delivery but my MPG increased by 2MPG in the Bronco compared to my previous vehicle.

By the time my order gets converted I'm fairly certain there will be a hybrid or electric version 😂
I haven’t even ordered yet so I’m hoping for hybrid. Torque and power are incredible with electric and if they add it to a 6? Wow

My thoughts exactly, but I specifically am waiting for the electric at this point.

I'd bank on it being part of, or shortly after, the 2024 refresh based on the next gen Ranger timeline.

Not even a consideration. I selected #1 because #4 will still impact us that don't daily drive it ;)

Gas prices make me rethink? Absolutely not.
Ford is.
