I too love the Toyotas and if Bronco completely fails, I think it’ll be a Tacoma ProYou hit the nail on the head. For me it *was* both. I really, really wanted the Bronco. But that's pretty much faded away. Now I just want a very capable overlanding/offroad vehicle. If I don't get my Bronco this year I have multiple backup plans.
At first when this news dropped a couple days ago I was really pissed. Mainly because I felt like I'd been led on by lies (i.e. keep waiting...your Bronco is coming soon-ish). At this point I'm resigned to the fact that I'm just going to take my business to a competitor. It is what it is...not going to waste too much time or energy being pissed at a company. That corporate entity is just engaging in business practices I don't like - they're not specifically doing it to *me*. I get it - even though it feels personal it's not...it's just (bad) business.
…..but there is a contingency plan with Bronco “for me”. The ADV hard top looks nice and probably better than OEM. It just costs $7K but if I really want a Bronco, then it’s just money. I hade already planned to replace the entire SAS suspension/tires with better stuff but I luckily the Badlands still has better diffs. If I stay on my 37s path, I’ll probably need to upgrade gears to 4.7. I’d prefer to do all these things and complete the dream I had for the Bronco vs start over with Tacoma even though I’d make it bada$$ as well.
