Honest question

Likely fewer outside vendors and more common parts with the Escape. No removable hard top. lol

The fact that a giant chunk of plastic is the biggest issue is just amazing.

I feel like there must be a lot of southern gentleman on this forum compared to jaded New Englanders. Maybe that’s part of the disconnect.

Exactly, just like everyone else on here he will wait and wait and wait but still be here when Ford delivers the new Bronco.

Ya like a individual in an abusive relationship. Doesn’t make it right brah

Where do you think this cluck up will land on the list of corporate missteps I understand covid but Ford was woefully unprepared for the demand of this vehicle. So like new coke bad? Or red Sox trading Babe Ruth bad?

Or maybe Portland Trail Blazers bad??? In 1984 the Blazers had the first round pick and took Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan. Look at what a sh!thole the City of Portland has become...

I understand that everyone wanted their bronco last week but constantly complaining about it only taints your ownership experience. What I don’t understand is that everyone seems to blame ford when the 900 pound gorilla (Covid) in the room is to blame. Maybe complaining is a coping mechanism?

Ford is building a niche vehicle that there’s only one other option, by an equally questionable manufacturer.

so yes, I want a 4x4 that I can take the top and doors off, and I’m settling for the Ford over the Jeep just because it has a better head unit than the wrangler.
If Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Hyundai or Kia made an alternative I’d confidently choose any of those.
Remember this IS a bronco forum, and not a Ford forum.

No one will care once they get their rig. No one at Ford is criticizing themselves for making a product that’s garnering a lot of attention and high demand. This is exactly what they want. Do you somehow think it would’ve been better if no one wanted the vehicle so they cancel it within a few years? Or for all the people that are still complaining because it’s been almost a year since the launch announcement. You know damn well every one of those folks if they were given choice of having a reveal back in July with deliveries a year later, or Ford keeping the curtains pulled back until a few months before delivery and not sharing anything about it, damn near everyone wouldn’t have wanted to wait.

Agreed 53k for my Bronco vs 58k for my gladiator the bronco has so much more going for it (minus the bed) on paper. once again no one has any " real world" miles on them but if Toyota made an fj i would be all over it

If you are comparing a vehicle purchase to an abusive relationship then you have more to deal with than I can help you with. Best of luck with that one cause I ain't Doctor Phil!

With “ain’t” in your vocabulary I wouldn’t want your help.

it was a melodramatic exaggeration, but, delays, poor planning, no communication... “yet you’re still giving them your money?”
That doesn’t make what Fords doing right, just because we stay.

Actually no, I’m going to double down.

car manufacturer/dealer, and customer is a relationship.

hopefully a great one.

but poor communication.... misleading..... constant let downs.... anxiety.... this is an unhealthy relationship. Unhealthy, or causing stress is technically abusive, stress kills afterall.

we, the money paying customer, staying committed doesnt make what’s going on right.

Some folks just like to complain, funny how they are still gonna buy a Bronco and not walk away. Guess they ain't so miserable after all! I mean seriously the best way to show displeasure is to walk away with your money but no they gonna be standing there with a fistful of dollars whenever their Bronco arrives!

Self serving opinion, no?

Are there other threads on this topic?!?
