I'm lamenting what Chevy did with the Blazer because the K5 and other full-size Blazers were awesome. Seems like they should have stopped producing a "Blazer", and given this new vehicle a different name.

Jeep is way ahead in numbers, I still see about 20 Wranglers on the road for every Bronco I see. But I think Ford is doing some serious catching up the past 6 months or so. The articles reporting sales numbers are not accurate of what is to come, because Bronco sales / volume have been tied down by production issues, but that seems to be improving a lot lately.
The question is, are those Brand new, 21/22/23 jeeps or an amalgamation of 20 years of continuous production?

It's hardly an indictment on ford and the Bronco that they havent' been able to match 20 years of production in only 3.

I may have been wrong about fwd on the gto. I thought the Holden Ute was a pretty cool vehicle which I saw a ton of while visiting Australia in 2012. Sort of a modern day 1960’s Ford Ranchero.
I would have definitely bought one. They were all queued up to bring over and then the Great Recession killed Pontiac. Got my G8 new for $27k with 0% interest rate so that didn't suck though. Best vehicle I've owned, hope the Bronco replaces that thought, after 1 year well on its way.

I just don’t understand what Chevy was thinking with the Blazer. Why keep the name Blazer while morphing it into a purely on-road vehicle?

I’m biased but I think Ford won this round.

Pretty sure the blazer was intended to compete with the Bronco sport
But I could be wrong 🤔

I liked the little jab Ford put into the teaser trailer, If it's going to be called a Bronco, it better be able to live up to the name

It's hard to tell because they all look the same. Am I looking at a brand new Wrangler with
aftermarket lift kit/wheel arches/stickers/rocker panels and poorly-aimed factory headlights,
or a decade-old Wrangler with
aftermarket lift kit/wheel arches/stickers/rocker panels and poorly-aimed aftermarket headlights?

Of course Jeep is ahead in numbers , they have been in production for 60 years. Jeep has well earned legacy and it will remain popular for that reason, but Bronco is a compelling choice especially of value how it drives on pavement.

The state of Michigan tells me the Bronco is a station wagon. :rolleyes:
My insurance has that beat, they call my Bronco a "bronco sport wagon", same with my JK is called a "sport wagon". Bean counters eh...

Yeah, I was like...didn't we already do this one?
Probably 20 times. I think B6G has officially run out of things to talk about…
