It probably feels good about it but it may feel better if you take it off road a bit. You need to keep your Bronco happy.

Yep! Rule number one, page one of "Care and feeding of your Bronco."

I agree with the above sentiment. My test ride yesterday though was "very special".

It feels free, but frustrated. A little anxious, but strangely excited. Kind of like a puppy.

Best guess based on dimensions and basic suspension setup would be like a new 4runner...which is tolerable

This is my biggest concern to. Having never owned or daily driven an off road oriented "truck", with 40mi of my round trip commute on highways is it worth it?

The Ranger has a longer wheelbase than the 4Dr Bronco, but is that a good approximation for the ride quality and handling?

With an Independent front suspension the Bronco will handle far better than Wrangler's solid front axel. And I drove my 2016 Rubicon with a 3 inch lift on 35s on I-95 at high speeds without fear.

There are a number of videos showing the 2 door racing through the desert at or near highway speeds. A Baja driver said it was the best riding stock vehicle he had ever driven in the desert. I'm sure it will be just fine on the highway.
But if your reservation is before July 17th, no, it will be terrible. Buy something else. ?

I daily drive my 2013 JKU. Always feels fine to me. I don't think it is as smooth as my wife's Lexus of course, but I rather like that if feels a bit rough. Then again I am old, so modern cars are so much nicer than what I grew up having.

I have a lifted tacoma and wife has a 4runner. I don’t like the feel of the 4runner on the hwy but she likes it. The 4runner is ready to be replaced and the wife has her eye on the bronco. I guess if the wife wants a badda$$ 4x4 im not going to argue and tell her to get a minivan?. The biggest concern I have is safety.
I think Ill go with the badlands 4dr because i like the tire size.
Anyway Im just freaking out because we have an appointment with our dealer on Sat to build it.

You, sir, are an outlier.

No sane person drives on I-95 without fear.

Considering that no one can test drive one, not even auto reviewers yet, the answer from this group is NO. Only Ford personnel have been able to drive one.

Go test drive a jeep. If you are comfortable with that feel, the Bronco should be better.

Find a FJ Cruiser to test drive. The highway manners are ok unless you are in heavy winds. Having the aerodynamics of a dumpster does not help.
