My answer depends on how often its in the shop to be fixed. If its a nice solid ride, I will love it long time. Otherwise, its gone and I'm window shopping again.

My Bronco will be my first brand new vehicle, I still have my high school truck and it was totaled 9 years ago. I don't get rid of vehicles. So if all goes well, never?

I own my current Tacoma TRD Off Road for 17 years now, 112,000.- miles on it.
So about that time frame would be nice, I'm just not sure car companies will support 17+ year old computers based on 19 year old tech that far down the road....

I don't enjoy buying a car, and as long as the one I have works, I won't go out of my way to replace it.

For the Badlands or cremation? Did they give you a quote on burning the Bronco?

Somewhere between a month and 5 years.

the initial excitement has worn off for me. I want an overland vehicle but don’t want a Jeep. While the bronco is the cool new kid on the block, it’s essentially a wrangler. If you compare this to a wrangler in looks, incredibly similar compared to a defender (older ones) that have their own distinguished look.

The looks are one thing I can probably live with. But if it’s not comfortable for a long trip then it’s going up for sale. I live in NY but we want to take trips to Canada and out west which are long drives. In the end I may go for something a bit more practical like a 4runner. I want the roof top tent and canopy on he side. Both vehicles fit the bill but the allure with The bronco is that it’s modular. When I go to Moab I want to take the doors and roof off and hit the trails but still be able to have the roof top tent. Otherwise why not get something more comfortable?

in fairness, wrangler struggles with this as well. ultimately it’ll be how it rides when I take delivery. silver lining is if I do sell I can maybe get all my money back if not more

Flannel is never out of style if you're in the Bronco Nation. I feel like there should be a gang sign or secret internet handshake for it too.

This will be my one and only new vehicle purchase. Will keep it until I'm dead.

I'm getting a BL with high package, but since I'll be keeping it for so long, I might end up opting for the Lux package instead .

No clue.

I've never owned a car for more than 5 years. I've never owned an suv/truck. Hopefully I'll love it but I do have some worries that I'll miss having a sporty car.

I very much intend to keep this vehicle for 300K miles, granted it lasts that long. I’m the type to change the oil every 3k miles religiously. I’ve had a 2016 BMW 4 series coupe for 82,000 miles with zero issues, only regular maintenance. I hope to be the guy in 2065 with that mint high mileage Bronco. Curious to see how much time others intend to keep theirs. Cheers!
I am with you @bokirby. Current vehicles - oldest to newest - 2004 TJ w/103K, 2005 Porsche Cayenne S w50K, 2006 Jeep Commander w/87k, 2013 Mercedes C250 w/Sport Package w/104K. Keep 'em clean and maintained and they last a long time. Plan on treating my Bronco the same way.
