Dumbest reason you’re choosing a Bronco, particular trim, or option??

[Daktari]

because I want it. I have zero need for it, I just haven't bought a new car in 17 years and this one excites me. Badlands 2.7 auto sasquatch Lux is what I want and am lucky enough to be able to get. Does it make any sense to spend that much on a car? No, and I can't really see any other car besides the Bronco or Wrangler that at least delivers unlimited fun for that cash.

I hope to hit many cool trails, get into road trips again instead of flying and renting a car, see some of the parts of this country I haven't seen yet, and take the backroads to get there. That's the idea, will it ever happen? Who knows.

I'd want a yacht and private airplane too, 7 beach front mansions and a base on the moon, alas, this Bronco fun machine is actually not made of unobtanium, so I'll settle for that
Fun thread idea!

Oh, all that plus the OP's empty switch spot, that would drive me nuts, they should at least put a dome light switch in there or something, not that empty 'na na na nah na, you didn't get the next level' empty thing staring at me all day ? Ticks me off in my Taco that there's a little removable plate on the dash where who knows what switch could have gone but isn't there ;-p

Cause I‘m old and want to regain my youth.

Self reflection is not an exercise for the weak.

Ok, so what’s the dumbest reason you’re choosing a Bronco or a particular trim or option?

I’ll go first. I’m choosing the Badlands because I can’t stand the idea of having an open switch space on the off-road hero panel. Guess I have OCD.

Badlands so I can get vinyl seats, drain plug floors, and a the High package for sound deadening. Only a FE and a Badlands can do this. (If they sell the sound deadening stuff on it's own, I might add it to a black diamond squatch, but not likely)

In 1984 my parents bought a new Bronco II. First night it was at home I folded down the back seats and slept in it. Still own it. Bought a 1996 Bronco, was built 2 weeks before the line closed. Still own it. OMO the Bronco is the perfect vehicle for any occasion. Commuting to work, grocery getting, weekend fun, hauling tools and equipment to a work site, it's one car that does it all and looks good doing it.

I have had Mercedes, bmw’s, F150’s, Toyota’s - I’m getting an 2 door, outer banks with the lux package- because I am a crazy old bastard living the American dream. ( in my new Bronco)

Taday I am leaning towards Big Bend because I have always had empty fog lamp sockets on all my vehicles, no more. Until tomorrow when I am back to Base. Not going to get Black Diamond because I need someplace for my sunglasses and hate the switch pack.

 

[Studawg]

Because I like the looks of the Black Diamond badge the best! ?

I have no justification for spending $50+K for a vehicle that I will use for its intended purpose like twice a year and could probably spend closer to $40K if I didn't want the big screen.......

but here I am

 

[L8apex]

Black Diamond.....there's lots of reasons why I AM getting the BD, but the silliest one is I want the AUX switches and to be able to wire them up to stupid stuff with labels.

Ohhhh... looking for soccer moms are we?

 

[KindaOrange]

It looks cool. Wrong car for my commute but so be it

 

[Hoofnmouth]

I signed up for a wt now it looks like a base 7mt it will give me something to tinker with as i never leave anything alone the bbq grill has off road tires on it ?

 

[Beachin 74]

High package for the sound deadening materials.

 

[perfectburrito]

Because 16 year old me wanted a damn Bronco and Ford discontinued them the next year. 2 decades of shopping for a used Bronco while watching their prices climb and climb and climb turned me into a lunatic willing to drop $40k on a vehicle sight-unseen.

And somehow I still feel like Ford is doing me a favor...

Going with a First Edition because I like blue interiors

My STI would like you.
