I"m out...nawt

[Headsong]

I'm frankly willing to do or say most anything to get those in front of me to step out of line.

11. Bronco is not coming soon enough. I want a new vehicle now. Solution: Buy Wrangler?

The latest flavor of the week:
12. Manual transmission is *potentially* made in China... What?!? Solution: wait a model year to see if the MT holds up?

Every I'm out post should end with "I'm going to buy a jeep instead." Doesn't matter if you are or not. Ford reads these posts. Make them nervous.

Nine months is nothing to me. (I've given birth) Still excited and you guys just need to tuck and roll with what you learn each time a new nugget shows up.????

But you didn’t have to pay $50,000 at delivery!?

I'm OK with the "I'm out" posts. With every reservation cancellation...

This thread is entertaining. We are all enthusiasts but we must not lose sight of the fact that this is a car. It's a very cool one, but it's just a car. I'm sure they're going to cost money too, but they might be free depending upon the next POTUS!

I've already been quarantining for the past 8 months, so what's a few more? If you can't wait, then go get a Range Rover or a Jeep. I did read that, on average, RR's spend 32 days per year off-road. Well, let me clarify; 32 days per year, on average, off of the road...in the shop...for repairs. That is NOT my idea of "off-roading." I believe RR's are also very highly rated...in consumer dissatisfaction.
The good news is; Ford will be making Bronco's for years to come, so you can revisit the idea of owning one when the timing works out for you! A part of me is envious because you'll be having fun driving your new vehicle while I'm sitting around waiting for mine.

Some people have $50k to blow on their most likely 4th, 5th, 6th..... vehicle in their fleet and some don't. If the Bronco was a $500k vehicle, I bet that a lot of these people would be complaining about something that they felt that they needed wasn't an option.

I have no issues with those feel that $50k is a purchase price that they should get what they feel they need for their situation.

So, with all due respect, PLEASE Get Off Your High Horse in regards to talking down to those who want some things that are currently that we know of aren't being offered.

(flame suit has been put on, so have at it....)

I agree that $50k is not chump change. I have $50-$60k budget for a vehicle. If the Bronco has items that are a dealbreaker, i’ll search for another vehicle in that price range that better suits me. I personally don’t even care about the removable roof.

I am just curious but if you don’t care about the removable roof what is making you want to wait this out for the long run? Just seems like majority of the people are buying this specifically because of removable roof and doors

I get a kick out of the people who clearly aren’t impacted feeling the need to throw shade on people whose decisions it does impact. Guess what, if Ford says hey guys now the black diamond doesn’t come with locking diff, nor gearing nor steel bumpers, bash plates, would Bd buyers complain about having to now spend extra money on stuff? Yeah. But again the non BD buyers be like, stfu, just deal with it, you never really wanted a bronco.

I see your point. Most the stuff I listed has no affect on my 2d Base decision, but if they all of a sudden said no Sasquatch with base, I'd be pissed, still in, but pissed.

The "I'm out" one we are going to get soon when B&P comes out is that they cannot get the equipment they want for ~$35k that seems to be a common value cited here. For an example, a Wrangler Rubicon starts at ~$39k but after just 4dr, AT, hardtop, and destination fee it is $50k.... going to be a harsh reality to see this for some people.

I see this is your first post. Welcome to the Bronco6G discussion.

I will say this, it is not easy moderating any automobile forum, particularly where the vehicle involved excites as much emotion as the Bronco and where expectations have been built up and especially when we find ourselves in a situation where speculation is essentially all we can muster.

So perhaps we may just want to remember the fact that we are all Bronco enthusiasts.
?? to all.

Sasquatch(bigger tires/gears/suspension with factory warranty), 2.7, easier to maneuver than Raptor and 7.3 Tremor( my other options). If this is purchased for my wife’s DD, it’s because she likes the looks and 2.7 ecoboost.

Cause its the first new Bronco available since I was in high school. I have zero intentions of taking the top off ever. I took the top off my 1970 Bronco one time to paint it and put it right back on. I like vehicles with a roof even if they have a cage.

The ability to option Sasquatch across all trims really sets the Bronco apart. I was looking at 4DR Base + Sas with a V6 as a backup. With 10spd no longer standard it's not quite as attractive but not a deal breaker. Maybe I can make a 2DR work. Maybe I'll go up to WT. So many questions
