I watch a few really good Savagegeese reviews (which I think are excellent) and they talked about a tipping point with the XC80 Volvo, and to some extent with the new Landrover Defender. Their review of the Ford Explorer is illuminating, and also a bit worrisome about Ford in general and the current leadership. The point is that cars/trucks are increasingly layering complexity, which makes them nicer, but which also will necessarily increases the cost of ownership and the connection to the road. In the bronco segment on one extreme is the Grenadier, it seems, and on the other extreme is probably the Defender. My Wrangler (JKU 2016) has been pretty much problem-free.
I am curious if anyone can speculate about the durability, sensor dependence (which seems to plague the Defender), and basic drive-train bomb-proofness of the new Bronco. After watching the Ineos Grenadier build philosophy, and focus on simplicity and durability, I was wondering how the Bronco would compare.
