Help me - I love my Ranger Tremor, I like my Bronco BL 4 Dr 2.7L

[emoty-c]

Looking for opinions. I bought a Ranger Tremor 6 months ago while I waited for my 4 DR Badlands 2.7 L non-SAS. Ive owned a 3rd gen Taco and Silverado before, as well as TLC and 4runners indlucing my current '84 4runner w a safari top. I love the Tremor - best truck Ive owned.

It is quick, agile, smooth on the road. I've had my Bronco for a couple days, and am having a hard time seeing myself switching to it (I cannot afford both). I know the "Its not a truck" mentality - I've lived out of both. Looking for anyone who as owned a Tremor and switched to a Bronco - what do you miss/like beyond the obvious it doesn't have a bed?

Sell the Bronco as it seems you don't like it. As soon as the Ranger Raptor is available, sell the tremor.

If you love the tremor dump the bronco. Do it sooner than later. Values are dropping fast across the board. Don’t matter what brand.

I'm going to buy a Tremor tomorrow...

Or at least trying to convince myself not to still. I think I know it's done, though. Found what would be my exact build with 6K miles on it. Somehow, of course, buying it will speed up my Bronco scheduling and then I will (hopefully) be in this same boat sooner than I hoped.

You really like it that much?

If I needed a truck I’d keep the Ranger. But if I needed something more capable off-road and had no need to haul cargo or tow I‘d keep the Bronco.

If I wanted to be cool I’d keep the Bronco. No one, and I mean no one ever!, has turned their head to check out a Ranger, no matter the trim… Just sayin….

I really do- I think the engineers behind the tremor put a lot of time to get the balance of on/off road just right. I think it will put a big smile on your face! But as the post above says, no one checks out a Ranger no matter the trim…

I really like the current Ranger and take notice of every one I cross paths with. I probably would have bought one before the Bronco if it had a manual option.

Based on your title I think you know what you should do.

If Ford would put the MT in the Ranger, I would be very tempted myself.

same, especially the tremors which you don’t see a lot.

stick with what you love, else you might end up with buyers remorse.

I have a Ranger Tremor and a Bronco on order. Still haven't decided which way I am going to go. I love the utility of having a bed and higher towing. But also love the open air and cool factor of the Bronco. Either one will fit my needs for the off-roading I do. Much will depend on what price protection will apply with the Bronco and how much of a price increase 2023 will bring. And a little part of me is still leery of the Bronco with the current quality issues. The 5th Gen Ranger is a tried and true platform with very little issues.

Too bad you can’t keep both. I bought this Rocky Ridge pkg 2022 Ranger a couple months after my WT finally came in. Traded in a 4dr BB and 2021 Ranger for them. I love them both.

I did the same; got tired of waiting and last November received my ordered Tremor (traded in an F150). I almost cancelled the Bronco and the Wife said, "keep both!". So, the Bronco came a month ago and I will keep both. I love both vehicles. The Tremor is agile and quick and of course has the bed. The Bronco is freakin awesome. If I had to dump one it would be the truck. However, I have always said....you own a house, you need a truck. Seems like their is always something needing hauling and you need a truck. That said, I could not get rid of the Bronco. I guess I AM NOT MUCH HELP. Seriously though; gauge your passenger needs, towing needs, hauling needs, etc. If you got rid of the truck, you could always get a cheap sided flat bed trailer to haul crap. Maybe consider ways to keep both. Is there some other family vehicle that could be sold. Etc.
They are both fantastic vehicles........very difficult decision. I think you will regret getting rid of either one of them.
