For 50k you will likely get that truck and that 3 year old BD. Smart play.

Of course I'm older than dirt alsoI owned 9 Wranglers also....
I apologize I'm an internet bully if my use of the terms "totally legitimate" and "far more sensible" regarding your purchasing decision while also pointing out that you that you didn't appear to be still seriously considering a Bronco two months after you knew what the price would be and that you would have no opportunity to test drive it before you committed. No one can know what your true intent was but you, only how it presents to us.I'm posting in the forum section called "General Auto & Other Vehicles Talk". IT's like there is other vehicles to talk about & they give you the ability! Big internet tough guy over here.
Unless the 3yr old BD(s) is not given up and lives on with the original owner(s). Just thinking positive for the new Bronco owners that we may not want to give it up too early. I keep my vehicles on average 15 but I am planning on a BL so maybe BD will only be 3... Just having fun waiting for the New Year and Bronco countdown... or will be waiting again next year at this time for the Bronco countdown.For 50k you will likely get that truck and that 3 year old BD.

I disagree. I could see myself buying a Ram Rebel, Raptor, Trail Boss, or any other off road truck. There are a ton of people cross shopping those vehicles.Spot on. People buying Jeeps instead of a Bronco I can understand but anything else...you framed it perfectly they were romanticizing about a Bronco.
Those aren't even the same class of vehicle. Why not shop for a Dodge ChallengerI disagree. I could see myself buying a Ram Rebel, Raptor, Trail Boss, or any other off road truck. There are a ton of people cross shopping those vehicles.
They are all 4x4s and off road vehicles and the buyer is comparing the benefits of a small truck bed and greater interior size vs. the ability to remove the top and doors.
that's funny....OK, so you got an F-150 competitor and you got a used vehicle.
1. Why did you not get an used F-150? ...Would be a better question.
2. For those looking for a "deal" and nothing else, if you watch the show "Hoovie's Garage" on YouTube, you can see the guy get a used $350k Maybach with door and quarter panel damage and 120K miles for $20K. That would a better deal. Conclusion: if you are going to drop your Bronco reservation, you should get a Maybach and then post it here.
I get what you’re saying, but do people always have to shop within one class of vehicle? The class of vehicle that I’m shopping for right now is: “fun and bad ass”Those aren't even the same class of vehicle. Why not shop for a Dodge Challenger
Nice truck, Ford is really losing the focus of it's intended buyers. I am truly starting to believe they will lose half of those 190k reservations
My plans for my next ride involve a truck capable of getting myself, some companions and a fair amount of gear well off the beaten path for a decent amount of time. The Bronco, along with the Wrangler, Gladiator, several pickups and other SUVs fit that list of qualifications. The Bronco is my preferred tool at this time. It's an answer but not the only one.I don't know that they are losing focus of real buyers...not many people buying a full size pick-up or Camaro, or whatever completely different class of vehicle were never really going to buy a Bronco...they were just romanticizing about it for a while.
Zactly why I am waiting on Bronco. I am buying the open air experience. I owned a wrangler for one week and hated the ride and the interior. I took it back to the dealer and got an Avenger lol. Bronco is my only option for the open air experience with 4x4 and daily driver capability. It's modular and will give me the option to tinker with it as I am no where even close to being good with cars but I am somewhat handy. All in all, the price is high when throwing in the options.The ONLY reason I want one is for a door and top removable, family friendly 4x4. The only competitor for it is the Wrangler.
Similarly to other complaints in the group, I"ve turned my down payment into a different vehicle. I couldn't justify spending 50k before tt&l. I'll look at a used black diamond in the future but I picked up a 2017 Titan with 22months/60k miles left on it's factory warranty for ~25k less than a bronco.
In 3 years (maybe 4) there will be lease returns and rental fleet sales at the very least. Plus by then Ford will have a new set of interior designers so there might be larger than usual trade-ins from beta testers.Unless the 3yr old BD(s) is not given up and lives on with the original owner(s).
