Bronco vs. Mustang. Room for Two Horses in This Corral?

[Snakebite]

I'm currently in the same boat. And no, I don't have a good answer for you!

Keep or sell hmm

My 14 GT and 17 GT350 aren’t going anywhere’s when the Bronco gets here, I think it’s a great addition to my current fleet that in addition to the Mustangs also has a 17 F350, 21 Expedition and a 992 Carrera S that’s also on order.

Good people of the internet: please help me settle a debate that’s been going on in my head for the last couple of months. I have a 2020 manual Mustang 5.0 with 460 horsepower. It turns out that the 2022 5.0s will be de-rated to 450 horsepower due to environmental/emissions reasons, which, to me, signals the beginning of the end of the second muscle car era.

So, why am I talking about a Mustang on a Bronco forum? I barely need one fun car, and the Bronco will give me two fun cars. Clearly, the Bronco is more practical with the extra passenger seat and 4 wheel drive (especially in winter). Plus, it has a fun factor with the convertible soft top and being able to take the doors off. Do I keep both (I can make that happen, but don’t need to) or do I part ways with the the Mustang? I worry that I’ll regret selling the Mustang when you can’t buy a high horsepower manual car anymore in a few years. Or am I just wasting money on cars that I should be investing for the future (kids college, retirement, etc.). I could just sell the Mustang + the Bronco, and then get a Ford Maverick pickup truck. What would you do?

My fellow Michigan brother: You need to keep BOTH of these horses. There will be time for saving for college and other necessities. Heck, you could even make your kids get their own student loans! What did I just say? Yeah it's possible. Keep the 'stang and the bronco and have fun. If you find you don't want one or both of them later, then sell them. At least you will have had the experience.

Furthermore, I know that Mustang doesn't see the light of day from about November to April. So, you have the bronco to run in meantime. Then hot rod it spring to fall in the Mustang! You're good to go - KEEP THEM BOTH!!

I’ve driven a non-GT Mach-e, and I was really impressed at the acceleration. There will still be speed in the electric future, albeit at an increased cost.

Wait until they finish with "adjusting" gasoline prices... LOL

I have 2 GTs and a GT500, they aren't going anywhere, they can help raise the Bronco.

Picked up a ‘68 GT 4 speed project when the manual sas wasn’t available. I think I’d have a hard time getting rid of it now.

I'll have two in the stable once mine arrives (hopefully by Christmas)
Too bad they both can't be the same color:

Sold my 2017 Ecoboost Mustang for my Bronco. Financially, I didn’t have a choice if I wanted to get a new car. If it would have been a convertible GT, I may feel different, but I’ve had the Bronco for 2 weeks now and have not looked back once. Just depends on your needs and what you can afford.

 

[AllthePonies]

I’m ready for the Bronco now! This is definitely not Mustang weather.

KEEP THE MUSTANG! I have a 2014 "Gotta Have It Green" Mustang that I just love to drive! I am keeping it and adding my MY22 Bronco Black Diamond to my stable.

Yep. Waiting for my Bronco to Come in once they have the Painted Mod. Tops.

But to hold me over I just go this 2021 Beast "Horse" that will be in the Corral with the Bronco.

 

[Marsalad]

I‘m lucky enough to have both. The Bronco for my wife, Mustang for me.
We might as well enjoy them while we can.

My Mustang may be an antique before my Bronco is delivered.

Keep the vehicle best designed to excel on the terrain you'll be driving, and with functionality you will use for real rather than imaginary usage. For now, being stuck mostly on pavement, there's no way I'd trade my sports car for a lumbering 4x4. Unless you will get a lot of usage from the Bronco removable top on pavement, that could make switching to Bronco legit.
