Did the new Ford Bronco "RUIN IT" for others😎

[Rahkmalla]

But honestly, can you blame people switching? Idk, I feel like the Jeep interior has stayed the same for ever. The Bronco offers so much more!

As a current driver of a 22 gladiator and a hopeful owner of a 23 Bronco (though allocation formula says more like 2027). Nah, sorry. I love the bronco so much more than any JL/JLU/JT, but the Bronc's interior is not the reason it's gonna steal some jeep marketshare.

The botched launch is ruining future business for Ford. I probably won't bother with Ford after this experience, and I have 4 in my garage at the moment.

I agree in someways but to play the Devils Advocate show me another manufacturer with a brand new release during the Pandemic? And prior to me actually getting mine I was telling people just what your saying is the Bronco a Failure? And after now owning one I can honestly say its not a Failure and huge Success on the product design.

Jeep is now owned by the Peugeot Auto Group renamed to Stellantis which is now Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep and Ram brand. The European "flair' is the new direction and Electrified as well. Just look at the new Jeep Grand Wagoner its a mix of a Chevy Tahoe, Range Rover, Ford Expedition and Peugeot all in one. Expensive as hell and will be interesting to see how Jeep counters the Bronco.

“will be interesting to see how Jeep counters the Bronco”
I’m curious if Toyota will respond?

Supposedly Toyota has a FJ Cruiser in the works and the 4Runner is being updated as well. But doubt they will be open air vehicles which kinda takes away the real deal off road adventure.

I’d love to see the FJ Cruiser in a convertible configuration. Maybe even more retro like a 60’s Landcruiser

Yes you just read my POSTING and the car maniac truck nut I am I can tell you HONESTLY the new Ford Bronco has ruined it for all the others. And even add insult to injury the Wildtrak package possibly ruined it for the new "Raptor" Bronco as well. I am amazed and excited every time I get in my brand new Wildtrak Hot Pepper Red Bronco. The setup on this vehicle is over the top and just blows me away how Ford truly "NAILED" it for the Bronco. Talk about wanting to just keep driving at the end of each work day. I mean I just want to continue to drive her being is just so "BAD ASS" and incredibly comfortable and "ENJOYABLE". Summing it up the new Ford Bronco has ruined it for all the others and sorry Jeep lovers.

You can't price build a WIldtrak on ford.com right now....coincidence?

Totally. There were several one-off FJ convertibles at SEMA in the late 2000s. Some looked way better than others. I think the tan top here looks so much better than the black one when it's up. A new one would no doubt be more boxy and less of a bubble. Hopefully they could make the doors frameless (and removable).

If nothing else, the Bronco's going to bring some badass competitors into the market. Win-win for the consumers.

Roll out may have been a sh** show, but the vehicle itself is not. Admittedly, I was not overly impressed with the first few interior colors I saw. I walked away from a couple that were available to me. Then I ran across the Roast interior and knew I had to have it. Even with the apparent problems with the 2.7L, my wife and I have determined that we will not sell our Bronco. IMHO, no matter how amazing the BRAPTOR may be in its performance prowess, there is absolutely no way I'll give up my OBX for it. I'll keep my bronco and buy another F-150 Raptor first.

As a former Wrangler and current 4Runner owner I am amazed by what Ford did with the 6G, the first generation after such a long pause. Jeep and others took a haymaker to the jaw, but long term the competition will be awesome and make everyone better.

perfect vehicle for me, checks all the boxes, so much fun to drive!

Will be interesting to see if Toyota or others jump into the game, there's plenty room for more open air fun rides.

Agree. The rollout and the vehicle are two totally different things.

It's a shame that one is such a shit show, while the other is so amazing.

It was pretty close for me between the Bronco and the new Chevy Blazer, but the Chevy dealer was really rude while I was trying to take the Blazer's hardtop off...

In a future with many Broncos and many alternatives... I am perfectly happy seeing lots of 'not-Broncos' on the trails.
